*screeches up to your inbox* Wait, wait, wait, you’re doing a fluffy Lon Lon fic with a side of whump?!?! That. Sounds. Awesome.
Consider this a humble ask for you to gush about anything for this fic!
Well.... you asked for it!
The fics whole premise is roughly "the chain get trapped in Time's world after LU and have to adapt to being normal people without adventures and saying the world"
and because I am a one trick pony at heart, yes, it's gonna be heavily Legend centric for at least part of it!
The thing I'm most excited about is the dynamic between Legend and Talon, because no one can tell me that that mustachioed farmer with a gentle nature wouldn't remind Legend of his Uncle and Tarin both, and I honestly just get the sense that Talon would very much like to connect with Time and Malon's boys, but he's not young and spritely and most certainly doesn't have the energy to try sumo or go racing with them. He's also not as loud or vibrant by nature as a lot of the male figures in most of the Links' lives, so they aren't super drawn to him, but Ledge? Like it or not, he's reminded of home, and I AM making that a problem for both of them
Now, of course, we'll get some fun Time and Twilight of course, and I like the Wild and Malon dynamic from the Ranch arc originally,, and of course Warriors and Four are going to have to explore this era's castle town (with no titles, no uniforms, no one who knows them or wants things from them or expects things), and Twilight and Sky will get some time together to, and of course all the horse lovers gotta go riding!
But yeah, slowly, slowly, they're going to have to adjust; all of the are going to have to unlearn things and learn new things.
Some highlights in my brain at present being:
Legend is so used to dungeon crawling that he genuinely starts feeling lost when he's been on the surface too long and so Malon and Time keep finding him trying to collect himself in the weirdest places (the old dried up well on the edge of the property, the cellar, and various stalls in the barn, just to name a few)
Warriors is still running drills and writing training reports for MONTHS because he can't drop it just because his commanders aren't around to make him do it
Sky is a fussy mess about the surface village and is desperately in need of projects to keep busy with because he feels guilty leaving his people to do it all alone
Wind is homesick for his family, badly. Because they have no assurance that they'll EVER go home now, and Grandma is frail and Aryll's not even a teenager yet! Who's going to look after them? He can't just up and leave them high and dry!
Hyrule has never had such frequent, consistent, unquestioning access to food in his life, but he's also never stayed in one place this long in....a really long time, so he's very restless and might have made a few stashes for his food (he's not the only one either, he, legend and Wild all have this habit and it does result in actual physical fights when they disturb each others' stashes on accident)
Wild is also having issues with the staying in one place thing, but less so than Hyrule. As long as no one stops him from wandering off, then he will always come back by sundown.
Twilight and Four might be adjusting the best because they're used to "normal" life more than the rest. still, they're both homesick for their respective families, even if, unlike Wind, there's no one reliant on them for their survival.
Just, there's a lot of me digging in and forcing the domestication of these eight boys (less so Time because that ship sailed, but we might get some flashbacks/memories of when he was in the same boat) via the characters in Time's world (yes, that means Lullaby and Impa!)
If you guys have a specific trauma/trigger/issue you think might be relevant for the boys to have to adjust around, hit me up! Even a one trick pony can try to add a least a little extra flourish!
