Both of you were born on the same day inside the palace. The difference is that you were born in your mother's small chamber. She was just one of the servants to a concubine, a lowly status. The consort was kind enough to send a doctor to help her give birth to you, while the consort went to witness the empress's birth.
She gave birth to a healthy prince. on the other hand, your mother died from labour, and you were born unhealthily; you could barely even breathe within a few hours.
But luckily, your mother's mistress, the consort Xin Qi she served, decided to adopt you. For a reason, out of pure pity, that her favorite maid who had served her since she entered that palace, her truly trusted friend, somehow caught the attention of that emperor at one of the meetings, and one thing led to another...
The first time you both met was when you were 6 years old at the palace garden, you were feeding the fish in the pond when he accidently ran into you, causing you to fall into the pond.
You struggle to breathe while the water feels like it's trying to drag you down, and this sense causes the boy to panic and scream for help.
Luckily, one of the servants is brave enough to jump into the pond to save you. You were immediately sent back to your chamber to rest while the doctors were on their way.
But some odd reasons the boy decided to stay by your side, watching as your maid carried you, rushing back to your chamber.He couldn't describe the gut feeling for the first time he felt worry??I mean, he shouldn't really be since it's just a random girl in the garden who knows who she belongs to, even if she were one of the concubines' daughters, he wouldn't have any consequences. I mean, after all, he was quite literally spoiled rotten; he didn't even have to dress himself or feed himself as all his servants would be there any moment he needed.
Before his birth, the emperor even said to himself if his dear empress gave birth to a prince, an heir, it would be the next king. That's what you heard from your maid; she even warned you if you met him, you must greet him and agree on anything he proposes, you mustn't protest to him, and blah blah blah, what a brat you think to yourself.
Back to reality, you felt the thick blanket on top of your body while he held your hand from the side. You side-eye him, giving him a confused and weird look.
"You push me-you blind-"
Before you could finish, you were shut by a hand across your mouth.
"Watch your mouth (y/n), his majesty is the crown prince. Forgive him, my majesty, she's just not used to a stranger being here hehe...."she then laughed awkwardly.
But he suddenly grabs your hand and apologizes
"I'm sorry i didn't mean to gege sorry gege muchen can take care of you-"
Yeah, the first interaction wasn't the best. You expected him to be more of a brat and rude but nope for some reason, he was...kind to you I mean he would sneak good treats and foods for you, would play with you, tell you what he learns and even teach you some, unlike the consort who only taught you how to become a proper and likeable lady.
But it's still weird for you that he would only treat you nicely, and it was obvious like he loved petting your head which you of course slap his hand away or hugged. People who walked by, especially those who witnessed that would stare and gossip afterward.
But he can't help it the first time he met he thinks it was the look of love he thinks that you were definitely the one which he confess to you once but you told him that your both to young to even understand the meaning but he just keep believing himself that yep she's the one to my heart and just blind by love.
But back then you didn't take him seriously, I mean come on, you guys were parents to a bunch of rabbits in the palace garden. You do enjoy spending time with him, you couldn't help but feel warm around him as if he's the sun to your moon.
Both of you decide to plant an apricot tree in the palace garden near the pond where you both first met and all , as a cute reminder not only that you can't wait for it to fully gown so that when it blossom you both could enjoy the view under the tree.
But of course, the gossips within the court spread the rumors soon to the whole palace, and the empress found out about it. She then restricted Muchen from seeing you, claiming that you will give no benefit for the palace not only that you're just one of the lowly maid kids that the emperor decide to play with your just a bad influence and distractions for him by telling his servents to keep an eye on him if he was caught hanging out with you. you'll be the one who receives a physical punishment, and he just has to write a whole book of poem.
Does it seem unfair, yes, but the empress doesn't care. She'll never dare to hurt her son; she baby him too much. she also bans you from going out of your chamber for a month. When you heard the new,s you were aboutly horrified.
Now both of you were in a bad situation . he doesn't wish for you to get hurt, especially because of him no never, he would never he rather let the actions be taken upon on him than you. You're just a like a glass lotus so gorgeous and fragile can be broken with one touch or a rude comment.
He did try to send you letters by tying it up on his pet parrot but soon it was found out and you were punished to be beaten by a wooden stick for 20 times.
You swear your limbs were almost broken at the end of it and you had to take a few months just so it could heal back to normal. When muchen heard about this, is was horrified and begged his servants to send you more doctors and others, etcetera that could help you heal faster and in a painless way.
With that in hand, he never dares to interfere with you anymore he fear that he could bring danger and harm to you, which is true.So those how the years went by...
~~
Both of you have grown into adults now and he was now the newly ascending emperor to his father's throne after his death. Many concubines were buried with him to serve him in the next life which will always be your worst nightmare and horrible fact you know about them.But at least you won't of them, right??
Let's see. Since he's now the emperor, he gets to have access around the palace , and without a doubt, he came to find you on the same day of the coronation.
When he went near your chamber, he heard giggles. That's odd she rarely giggles unless it's from me hmmm, maybe she just grew up now and changed he pushed open the door.
The first thing his eyes landed on was a man.
A MAN in your chamber? Who is he? What is he doing with you in your CHAMBER???
But he couldn't help but glare at you as well, you gown so much now even gorgeous than before so lively, but why? Did that guy make you feel that way??
With his presence in your chamber, both you and your secret lover bow and greet him."Greeting, my lord, what brings you here...?" you ask
"Who's that with you, (y/n)?"
"I'm Jun Jian, one of the soldiers, my lord."
Muchen just hums back, replying before pulling you into his arms, and tells Jun Jian to go. while he spends the afternoon, claiming he just wanted to catch up you believe in him I mean come on, before he was emperor, he already had 4 wives, what's stopping him from having you. You just thought he actually wanted to catch and that he cares about you
of course, there he went and left shutting the door behind him. Not going to lie, you didn't dare to meet his Muchen eyes, was it from shame, fear? You can't figure it out right.Or was it because he caught you in the act with your lover?
Both of you weren't official but you hoped it was if only he wasn't so busy with his duty, but that's what makes you feel attractive by him. He's so hardworking and dedicated, you can't help but fall for that. he would occasionally give you presents, it may not be gold, fine silk ,and other luxury, but you knew he tried he try spending time with you if he wasn't in the battlefield.
But Muchen took advantage of Jun Jian's being a soldier and set him at the front of the battle. From then on, when you heard that from Jun Jia, you were concerned. The fact that the rate of his dying was not risky enough to make you pray every day that he would survive, but now that he is at the front, the rate has skyrocketed. But now you can't do much but pray for the best.
~~
After a few months , there were news that happened within the day
one that could shock you , like meeting a death penalty
and one that could make you feel grateful for god and everything you belive and put faith in.
The good news is that Jun Jian was promoted to become a general of the military .
The bad news is Muchen force you to marry him. it wasn't even an arranged marriage is just one of his nucai who came to your chamber randomly at night and told you the news, this Sunday, you'll have your wedding with the emperor. You were dumbfounded and speechless, you stood there silently for a full minute staring at the nucai .
You wanted to hit him and let your frustration out . but you can't he's just delivery the message not only that you were nobody in the palace your status leave could possible be worst then him , is just the fact you had a personal maid that the pervious consort Xin Qi , your adopted mother have gift for you a week before the emperor die and she was buried along side with him
You hated that rule ever since you heard about it , It's ridiculous how the emperor could decide whether his wives should be buried with him and decide that death would be the same day as his. Even if you love one of the wives, would you choose them to suffer to not continue their lives without yo,u and if they refuse to obey the order,r and drink the poison, they will be tied up and be buried alive. With consort xin qi death adding on to it , this makes your hatred burn even more.
Yes, it's your turn. You enjoy your life in the palace filled with luxury if you are favored by the emperor, but what about the other? He doesn't care; they still have the same sentence. unless he did wrote their name in the emperor's well, then they'll become a nun for the emperor for their whole life after on.
In that week you barely got enough sleep, stressing out about everything you even had a nightmare about it.even seem some of your hair had turn white while staring into the mirror, eyes so dark like inside a well during midnight so dark and quiet could even hear the sound of a needle dropping.
On the day of the wedding, you were dressed in heavy golds and many layers of robes . The pins that were on your hair make you think you even tilt a little to the side, your whole body may follow the direction with it. Last, you were then covered by a red veil that cover your face, while at least this could hide your frowning expression from him for the day.
Then the worst part has arrived, the night. people left both of you at your now new better/spaces chamber. Let's just say that he has been waiting for it , and held you close tightly, leaving bruises like an animal in heat at its mating session. He threw your clothes across the room and one by one took of your pins, letting your hair fall off slowly.
He then ripped of your dudou and tied your hands above your head so that you wouldn't fight him. That night, you weren't screaming for pleasure but from pain and for help, help that could help you escape from this burning he'll experiment . If only Jun Jian were here to protect you...
~~
After a few months, you had been promoted to empress, but you were still unhappy, and you found out you were pregnant. how? Why even question when Muchen came into your chamber every night since the marriage started. In the morning, you start puking hard lying there feeling dizzy while your maid tries helping you out, patting your forehead with a cloth and patting your back, about to pass out. When the doctors came to examine your hand, they told you you were pregnant.
Around that time, Jun Jian came back from the military and found out you were now married to the new emperor MuChen, bro went mad and crashed out trash your previous chamber, which is still filled with your stuff. The news that you're pregnant was spread around the palaces, which makes him even more despise you, it's like adding fuel to the fire. He thought you both were serious. Why would you do that to him, knowing that it could hurt him? Maybe it's he's fault for taking it too long and not taking action to make you his, was it his fault?
When you hear jun jian had came back from war you wanted to visit him, not caring it will have other rumors nor other shits. When you came to his counter and found him lying in his bed in the afternoon, you called out to him
"Jun Jian, your back oh how I miss you-"
"(y/n)?I thought you abandoned me, I thought you hated me."
"What!I would never, dear, you knew it."
"Then why? Why did you go and marry him, not me? Was it my fault??"
You tried explaining it to him, but before you could start off, he broke out crying, your heart sank and you went over to try to comfort him. You feel bad that you couldn't defend your love for him, you hated that you had to rely on him, and you feel useless. But now he needed you, but you couldn't do much but comfort him.
Out of the blue, he slammed his lips against your lips. You allow him, you even kiss him back. Both of you knew it was wrong, but it feels right.
Until he ruined it again, Mu Chen came in. You think it's one of your maids who told him where you're heading to, accompanied by the arrival of Jun Jian back here.
But Jun Jian placed you behind him and took out his sword, wanting to kill him for ruining his love for both of you as for justice.MuChen just looked at you both and laughed before calling his other guards to drag him down.
He struggles during the process and slashes some guards during it. The science horrifies you , you don't know if you should help him or stop him what if later one of the gruads accidently kills him, who knows you just sit there on the cold wooden floor witnessing the science in front of you.
After a while, Jun Jian had probably killed 4 guards but was unfortely held down onto the floor and, Muchen told them to put him in jail and strip him from his title as a general. he then came over you even walking above the dead body, just to walk right in front of you.
"Why do you hate me, (y/n) . I tried everything to capture your heart, but you just won't give me a chance? Tell me what he has that I don't, hm?i know I missed out on many years, but that doesn't mean we still can't be together. Still remember the tree that we both planted, we both promised each other right, lotus?"
You don't know what to say, did you do both of them dirty ??? Was it your fault, but but he-then? You were frightened and confused, and he could read it through your expression like reading a book. he then shook his head and chuckled, "Has a cat got your tongue, dear? Don't worry, I told servants to take great care of it. Let us walk there, dear."
You both took a silent walk to the palace garden, it has changed lots since you last came. After the previous ban, you were both from seeing each other, you rarely came to the palace garden, afraid you'll meet him there. Other servants would also enjoy their time there so they're probably snitching without a doubt, just so the empress could notice them,or just to see you both suffer.
The style and pattern of the design have changed, but it's still full of flowers and life, it brings you a little warmth into your heart .he's heart warms up seeing you finally relax a little and not as tense as before.
You both then arrive under the tree, the apricot had blossoms .The flower petals fall down along with the wind while you gently caress the tree trunk, in denial that the time has passed that much. He hugs you from behind, wrapping his hand around your waist.
"Your the only thing i wanted ever since I met you (y/n) , I just hope that you could give me a chance and take my love I gave you seriously ."
"I- but I'm already in love with someone muchen"you finally confess
"But we're married (y/n), there isn't an opinion for you other than give in to my love or don't I just wanted you to understand. But since you finally confess, good girl."
"I no I'm already taken by him, my heart can only be with him."
"Fine then, since you wanted to act like a brat, alright. But you'll still be going to be mine and have my child I may not have your heart but I have you, your soul, and-"
You slap him hard on the face, breathing rapidly. There was a long 5 seconds of silence before he chuckled like always.
"Oh (y/n), you're just so naive, aren't you "he chuckled again and touching your belly before saying, "I can't wait for your belly to swell dear, that's why everyone will know who you belong to.I don't even care if it's a princess or prince, it's made from us. from the seeds I planted inside of you."
When he said the last sentence, it gave you chills and goosebumps. It was like he was always giving you the creeps.You were still curious what would happen to Jun Jian, but didn't ask since you knew he would be in a bad mood again.
~~
After a few days during dinner you got the courage to ask him "what did you do to General Jun Jian?"
"Curious? Let's go and see then."
You hesitated for a moment before getting up and following him. Then reaches the underground jail cells, and when he stops at one of the cells. When you turn your head and see the sense in front of you, you should rather cry, puke, or pass out.
Jun Jian was tied agaisn't a wooden bed in the middle of the cell with one of his legs cut off. There was a pool of dried blood on the wooden bed as well as on the floor. The muscle and bone were cut, and you can even see every detail of it. lord heavens, how is he still alive or was it not you can't really tell if he had closed his eyes and probably fainted from excessive blood loss.
You were bombarded by many emotions that you went crazy and cried and banged the metal bars screaming for him to wake up, you can't he can't just die like that- no please, please be awake you scream out while crying out despite your throat is hurting.
He finally slowly lifted his eyes you scream harder"Jun Jian love, please, i love you- i'm sorry-"
Mu Chen then opened the door to the cell, you flew inside immediately before he could and hugged the upper body of Jun Jian, crying and repeating the word "I'm sorry"
"I love you so much, you don't deserve any of this because of me I'm so sorry, love."
Little did you know, Mu Chen was grabbing a hammer.
Before Jun Jian could even speak out, he was then bash by the hammer, the sense will forever be stuck with you and you know daam well of it. Mu Chen continues to bash his skull open harder each time
You scream at him to stop trying to push and pull him away from Jun Jian's body, but he pushes you away but accidently making you fall, hitting your head on the wall. Before you know it, your stomach was in bad pain and then you fainted.
When you woke up, you didn't have the energy to move or speak; you just stared at the ceiling and blinked at it, but your maid somehow noticed you were awake and told you that you had fainted for two days already.
You just turned your head and told her to go, she was humbled but nodded before she stood up, she told you also had lost your baby mistress, I'm sorry . You scream at him to go out again, when she left you cried out again, blaming yourself for everything if it weren't for you, Jun Jian would still be happily alive with his life , if it weren't for you Mu Chen wouldn't have gone that insane.
Why? Just because you're alive or was it because you met Mu Chen, why did he like me, why did I do to make him so- why just why you did nothing wrong, you try living your life like a normal girl and as a servant did you do something wrong??
You cry all day and night, refusing to go out of your chamber even if the emperor himself muchen your husband, came in trying to force you out of the chamber or feed you food and water, but you stop him from continuing to forcing you by threatening to kill yourself.
With that ability on hand, you realized how stupid you are, you could have just ended it all, why continue living like this, gaining and losing everything? After all, dying is better than continuing to live this burning hell.
You took the advantage of the winter session, during night with heavy snow stroam you sneak out of the chamber and palace and just ran using every last of your energy fore crashing into the heavenly thich snow that's over half your body your're not even sure where you'll at but it looks like heaven with everything white surrounding you.
When Muchen found out you went missing, he sent out half of the palace guards and soldiers to find you, and he will honor anyone that can find you alive; that person will then be promoted to a noble person and will have a wife and a bunch of coins.
But one of the guards found you near the forest frozen to death, when Emperor Muchen heard the news, he shut himself and drown himself in work, rarely visited other concubines/his other wife's chamber only yours, sleeping in your bed and sniffing your old cloth like a creep but he's can't help it.
He even threw you the most luxurious funeral there could been and force the people in the palace to cry about you and about your death as well as forcing everyone to wear black for a month. He also forbade the other concubines to wear your dresses or pins or any jewelry or gold that you own.
In his mind, he's trying to love you, but you refuse because of that stupid jun jian so he gets rid of him so that you can focus on him only but he never thought you would kill yourself rather than being with him, was he that bad to be with...? He questioned himself for many years, if the concubines dare to protest when they make out and he calls your name instead of theirs. They would be sentenced to death, he really can't get you off his mind, even at his deathbed, he still remembers you as clear as day.
He even had a statue of you in his personal chamber garden, which was made of obsidian and pearl.He spoke to you every night. Whispered secrets into your lifeless palm. He told you about the wars he no longer cared to win. About the generals he executed for daring to mention your name. He would even gift you things like a gold necklace to wear around your statue, talking to you saying how much he misses you, He would sometimes even kiss the statue when no ones is there to bother his moment with you. He once kissed it for hours until he passed out drunk at its feet.
He stopped eating for a while. Started carving your poems into his skin. He couldn’t tell dream from memory anymore.
In his will, he wrote that he wished for your coffin to be dug out and be put beside him, and no other concubines would be buried with him. Because he knew that you hated that rule the most since you made in clear to him bad then, and he only wanted you, no one else, only you to serve him or him to serve you . he doesn't care, he just needed you, only you can make him feel alive again.
i know it has been quite a while but I been trying to focus on my studies more I always end up here...anyways I hope u guys love it, like always I try on my grammar and not to repeat the same shit thanks for reading. have a great day diva~.At first I wanted(y/n) to have a female lover like that, but I'm afraid some of y'all ain't into that so yeah, I chose a general instead. Speaking of generals, I'm also writing on one and I hope that I can also publish it...hopefully.... pray for me you guys, if there's anything wrong just tell me alright
Everything changed when Yui’s father lost his job.
Suddenly he was no longer her father, but a vile angry man who wandered her home.
Maybe this is who he had always been and Yui just hadn’t known.
Yui remembers that day. The day that was the final straw. She had seen her father getting aggressive towards her mother and little Yui ran over kicking and hitting, crying to leave her mama alone.
Then he did it.
For the first time he raised his hand against his daughter.
Yui fell to the floor sobbing as she held her cheek. Her mother bundling her in her arms and apologizing frantically through her own tears.
Her father may have been the one to hit her but her mother felt as if she failed as a mom by letting things get to this point.
For even giving him the chance to hurt her little girl.
——————————————————
Yui may look most like her mother. But when her anger gets the better of her she will look into the mirror and can only see her father staring back at her.
Hi!!!! Could you please write something vergil/reader where the reader comforts vergil? It can be comfort to fluff. I barely see any vergil fanfics and most of them are either smut or angst 😭
I would really appreciate it, have a nice day!
Pairing: Vergil x Reader
This one was challenging because I don’t like writing about what the reader says or does in detail, as it can lead to readers feeling like, “I wouldn’t say/do that.” Therefore, this became a lot more introspective. Sorry if that is not what you wanted.
Also, I assumed you meant OG Vergil because usually when someone wants Reboot, they will specify that. I am making Reboot Vergil comfort headcanons soon for another person so look out for that if I fucked up on the Vergil too.
Comforting a Broken Man
Though it was sad, it was not surprising to anyone when they noticed that Vergil had disappeared from the backyard barbecue party. Being his lover, Dante asked you to go check on his brother, even if the others at the party jokingly declared that the stick in his ass made it impossible for Vergil to hang out for long. Like a routine, you entered Devil May Cry, ascended the stairs, and knocked on Vergil’s bedroom door to check on him.
When the quiet of his room was broken by even a simple knock, Vergil’s hand snapped to his blade and his heightened senses searched for signs of what demon was there to fight. Quickly, though, he picked up on your familiar power and scent, and his tense body was able to relax back into the bay window bench.
“You of all people need not knock,” Vergil told you, which was his signal that you could enter. Despite saying this, he knew exactly why you knocked; he had just proved your unspoken reason, and he hated it. He hated that he reacted this way, that his first instinct was that everything was out to kill him, and he hated how you knew of his weakness. “What are you doing here? You should be out there with the others.” Vergil’s gaze turned back to the large windows overlooking the backyard where his… where people were having a pleasant gathering. “You should be enjoying the sun and conversation with the others.” Vergil could not bring himself to call them friends and family; he didn’t deserve that. Just as he did not deserve your kind words and gentle approach. Even when you were trying to get closer, he unconsciously shifted his body to plant one foot on the bench, putting a barrier between you and him. Most would probably see this and assume he was showing his dislike, but you seemed to see the fear in the action, which made Vergil love you more.
You sat down, letting Vergil’s bent leg stand between you two, not trying to break down the walls around his heart but waiting patiently for them to fall on their own. You stayed by his side and talked casually about the party, the others, what you had been up to, what was on his mind, and it all felt… strange to Vergil. Initially, his mind brushed off the useless chatter as there were more important things to do and think about. That line of thought only lasted a few seconds, though; a new personal record that he had found shrinking ever since getting trapped in the underworld with his brother for that short time after cutting down the Qliphoth’s roots. You had expedited this process by simply speaking with him. It should be boring, useless bramble that did not affect the world at large of either of your goals, so why was he listening intently to your explanation of the funny and annoying events in your life? Why were his lips twisting up into a gentle smile? Why was he engaging in conversation? Why was his foot coming off the bench? Why did a small part of him want to cry?
“Is this what they call ‘domestication’?” Vergil suddenly asked, interrupting your quiet cuddles. You had moved and shifted closer to him until you were pressed against him without invitation or Vergil noticing, just like you always do. Even though you were lounging across the bench, making your head come to Vergil’s chest, Vergil was not a cushion being leaned on. It was more like he was curled around you, his arms around your middle, his legs tangled with yours, and his head resting on yours. It was comforting, like when he would hug plush animals in his childhood, a sensation he had been craving for longer than he had experienced. When you tilt your head to look up at him, making him raise his head, and he sees your calm expression, a smile with no hidden pain or malice, that tear finally crept up.
Quickly, Vergil swooped down to capture your lips, with both reasons of needing affection and hiding the tear being equally as shameful to him. Despite his pride actively crumbling, Vergil could not stop the small sigh that bordered on a whimper escaping his lips through the kiss or how he pulled you closer so he could bury his face in your neck after. His grip got tighter, almost a bit painful, as he clung to you.
The sound of a ball thunking against the bay window broke the intimate bubble surrounding you two, making Vergil reach for Yamato again. Looking back out over the yard, you and Vergil saw Dante looking up at you two and waving a few skewers.
“Yo!” Dante shouted, though it was muffled because the window was closed. Shifting his body, but also refusing to let you go, Vergil was able to open one of the windows.
“You have enough debt as it is, brother, don’t go breaking your already decrepit house.”
Dante scoffs. “I wanted to offer you some food so you don’t wither away. I made those skewers you liked when we were kids.”
“Did you burn them like when we were kids as well?” Vergil teased, though with how close you were pressed up against him, you could see how his smile grew a bit in response to Dante’s memory and effort.
“At least I didn’t serve raw chicken.” Dante shot back before turning to Nero, who was currently playfully arguing with Nico about something. As they had a quick chat, you could feel Vergil tense up, afraid. Not of Nero’s strength, though. Your touch and kind words helped ease the strain, even when Nero grabbed the skewers, sprouted his spectral wings, and flew up to the open window.
“Here, special delivery,” Nero said, trying to sound casual, but there was strain in his voice.
“Thank you,” was all Vergil could say as he accepted the skewers, feeling unable and unworthy to say more. The thickness of the air felt like it was filling his lungs, drowning him in thoughts and memories. Before he could dive too deep, though, he felt you nudge him. He glanced down at you, and all you had to do was make a couple of motions for him to get what you were suggesting. It took another moment of looking into your loving, determined, and reassuring eyes for him to gain the courage to actually do it. “Would you like one, Nero?” Vergil handed you one quickly, then offered one back out of the window towards Nero, who was still hovering. “It is one of my favourites since childhood.” Vergil’s hand was shaking slightly, but Nero did not notice or just didn’t comment. Instead, Nero gave a little smile and took it.
“Um… sure, thanks.” There was another awkward pause, though this time it was filled by Nero. “I, uh, didn’t take you for a skewer guy. What’s so good about these?”
It was awkward and tense, but it was the start of one of the longest casual conversations Nero and Vergil ever had, and Vergil was only able to get through it because you were there with him.
The brothers have finally reunited! But it seems they didn't return undamaged. The wounds they received in their spiritual form seemed to effect their physical bodies as well.
Before any of ya'll get defensive, put down your rose-tinted glasses and hear me out. Then you can air out your grievances with me.
This is prospective I have gained from reading AUs of Time's relationship with The Master sword vs Zelda. I have seen a good amount of AU's written with OoT Link being tense with Fi and not tense with Zelda. As much as AUs are fun this is a more grounded approach to the lore.
FI
Sending the Hero of Time into a 7-year coma so that he could be old enough to wield her. Having a mentally 6-year-old boy into a 13 year old body... however Adult link looks more akin to a 16 -17 year old.. so young link would be 9-10. (I remember someone saying that young link was 6 but that felt off... i included what I heard anyway. ) REGARDLESS.. going back and forth to your childhood and the unfamiliar world and body of the future has to mess up a good part of your mentality.
Like someone getting attacked by an animal when they are young. Then being tense when that animal is near when you are an adult. This is one of the reasons why I like it when people write OoT Link begrudgingly tolerate The Master Sword. He doesn't hate the master sword to Ganondorf levels but would still prefer to keep his distance from it.
In his older years he could understand that the sword absolutely needed him safe and have an able body enough to wield it. Even with his Understanded of why Fi did what she did... it still was traumatic along with his adventures. I still think he has a built-up resentment for The Master Sword. As all the AUs that I have seen and Oot Link having his resentment against the master sword I think it would be less then the one he would have against Zelda
ZELDA
In her regret that Fi robbed him of his childhood she sends him back in time to relive it... While that action had good intent it basically undid all of work Link did to rid Hyrule of Ganondorf. The cutscene that plays is like when you first met young Zelda.. However, Link is now a child with experience of what is to come.
He reaffirms Young Zelda's gut feeling about Ganondorf being a bad person and overthrowing the king. With that they are able to convince the King to banish Ganondorf and prevent the events of his game from happening. With Ganondorf being imprisoned/sent/sealed away Zelda has no reason to become Shik. Link doesn't have a reason to pick up the master sword. so on and so forth. I believe that in the game no one, but the owl (maybe Deku sapling?) can tell that Young Link is adult Link. Leaving only Link to remember the horrors of the future that he and Young Zelda prevented.
During the game as you go back and forth 7 years the people will know of Young Link and Adult Link's heroic acts. Clarifying that they would remember Young Link's heroic acts before the 7-year coma. Which is still something but to me it's like saying he peaked in Elementary school. No one knows what you did in high school because technically that didn't happen yet.
Now I am NOT going to say that he wasn't proactive in trying to rebuild his legacy. He takes steps to become a knight of Hyrule. I believe that he becomes a well-respected one. (In the manga his bio dad was a knight of Hyrule so it would be neat for that to come full circle.) Then by some ceremony he gets awarded the Hero's Shade Amor set. By this time, he could tell his stories to his fellow soldiers. To the young soldiers this would be just their senior telling them tall tales and campfire stories. He was reduced to a campfire story in his own era!
From what I remember of the Hero's Shade dialog in Twilight Princess is that while he accepted the role of the hero, he RESENTED that no one remembered. Adding to the resentment is that no one wanted to become his successor. That hurts more when even your own kids don't want to continue your supposed legacy or even the one you rebuilt yourself. His resentment snowballs so much that it prevents his spirit from moving on completely.
This all isn't to say that he deeply hates Zelda. He will speak highly of her since he is a knight of Hyrule. However on a personal level I see him holding a grudge against her.
HIS GREAT GRANDSON.
In Twilight Princess I think something happened between Hyrule and Oot link that he seems almost apathetic to what happens to Hyrule.
here is his dialog when you first meet him.
"A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage."
"you may be destined to become the hero of legend...but your current power would disgrace the prod green of the hero's tunic you wear."
"You must use your courage to seek power...and find it you must. Only then will you become the hero for whom this world despairs."
"If you do find true courage, and you wish to save Hyrule from the horrors it now faces..."
"Then you will be worthy to receive the secrets I hold!"
His very first dialog to us is after he knocks Link to the ground. Then he says.. Yeah, you're the next hero to be, but weak enough that you would disgrace what little legacy I did have left. Correct me if I am wrong but then he says you MUST use your COURAGE to SEEK POWER to become the hero that this world DESPAIRS! Not a hero that this world deserves but despairs!!
The term "despair" refers to the utter loss of hope. where there is a feeling of no possibility of improvement. LIKE WHAT? Is Oot link so jaded from resentment that he strait up says "Hay I want the world to fear you so much that it is hopeless to go against you." LIKE HUH? that's very heroic Oot link, very heroic. He also says "and you wish to save Hyrule." like IF you wish to save Hyrule. A OPTION.
I will give him that he does have some tone shift at the very end. That id you did CHOOSE to be a good hero then he will teach you the rest of his skills. Otherwise it sounds like he is pretty okay with Hyrule's downfall. With the state that the Knights of Hyrule are in Twilight Princess? How would you feel if the Knights disregarded you enough that they regressed into cowards?
Can you see what i am saying here?
Now during the entire game, you can find howling stones and summon him on the map. You can go to the Hero's Shade to learn new sword skills. I belive that each time you seek him out and engage and want to learn from him slowly warms Oot Link's stoic heart. Finally allowing his resentment to ease and fade away.
why?
Because he finally has someone who wants to be his successor, someone who wants to learn what he has to teach. He finally has a legacy that he can be proud of. Remember when it was confirmed that these links were blood related? How HIS great grand kid (who is probably named after him.) Wants to engage with him! Will tell stories about him, REMEMBER HIM. Through TP Link Oot Link is remembered as a hero. He has a heroic legacy again.
If our Hero of Twilight was to cross paths with Oot Zelda and able to put the puzzle together. I think he would also be tense around OoT Zelda. Because on the one hand she was a pretty big chunk of his resentment/regrets by sending him back in time undoing his heroic deeds. How the regrets and resentment have plagued his ancestor so much that his spirit was troubled still in TP link's era.
On the other hand If she didn't send OoT Link back in time there is a possibility that he wouldn't have been born. Since Twilight Princess is part of that Child Timeline.
Extra down below as I do my best to better clarify my thoughts and answer possible questions. also I need to go to bed.
Thanks for hearing me out whether you acknowledge this viewpoint or not. But I think it is something important to think about when dealing with OoT Link, OoT Zelda, TP Link, and Fi if they were ever to cross paths.
This is not to say that every Link and Zelda have a tense relationship. just look at the love birds in Skyward sword.
Zelda sending OoT link back in time dose prevent Zelda from becoming Shik. Ganondorf didn't become an issue, so Impa had no reason to train Zelda into a Shika warrior. So sad, may Sheik live on in OoT Link's memories. I think OoT Link would find Interacting with Zelda uncomfortable sometimes due to knowing an alternat version of her. That isn't the Zelda she is now.
please share your thoughts.
let me know if you want a part 2 because I wanna go to bed.
Saja boys angst/trama headcannons!
(Why? Idk. TW FOR S*XUAL TRAMA AND UNDERAGE DRINKING/DRUGS)
Baby Saja: Sexual trama. He was told he was "So mature looking" for his age (Around 14-17), which is why he tries to look as young as possible. The reason he doesn't talk is because his Voice is so deep, making him sound mature. he wants nothing to do with maturity, since it's what got him r*ped. He sold his soul to gwi-ma for eternal youth
Jinu: We All know this man's Trama already. (Also, I couldn't come up with anything)
Romance: Used to be super ugly and was always being rejected, He drank and smoked to try and look cool, but he could never do it. He sold his soul to look so attractive, and everybody would love him and be attracted to him. (Except Huntrx, since their demon hunters)
Abby: Very similar to Romance, just he had no muscles or masculine features, so he was bullied a lot for it. Sold his soul to get his Abs and be strong and masculine. He still takes steroids and works out a ton because of how insecure he still is due to his past trauma.
Mystery: He was messing around with a friend in chem class, when an explosion from their experiment blew up in his face, making him blind in one eye and giving him tons of nasty scars. He was bullied a ton and had his heart broken and gained severe trust issues due to how badly he was treated. He sold his soul to just get away from his cruel peers, and he also enjoyed music, so it seemed like a dream. because of how bad the scars are, he covers them with his hair, and the reason Zoey didn't see them was because he used magic to cover them briefly, but he can't use it 24/7 since it'd drain him fast. He also was so protective of Zoey, like barking at a fan, because he knows about her past, and he doesn't want her getting hurt like he did. (I'm a Zoeystry fan so sue me) ( please don't)
(What are your thoughts? :3 Its my first time writing out my headcanons!)
