THE NEXUS ARCHIVE

The Nexus Archive [TNA] is an Au that has once gone by the name Phantom Timeline. It's about two years old, maybe three now by the time I'm making this post, so know I'm making this with love. This AU is a SLOW moving AU when it comes to progress, because I myself am not a good artist, nor do I have the training to make a proper comic, however! I will occasionally post art for this AU! The characters for TNA will likely be introduced randomly, and not with designated intro posts unless people ask for them, but know that my original cast has changed around a LOT from when I first actually wrote this AU! That being said, this account will also involve posting for other AUs that I am in fact writing or just having fun messing around with! This is an Archive after all, what good would it be to not archive everything that I'm working on as a side hobby! Some AUs will get added as I grow comfortable sharing them, but for now, I have a small list! So, without Further Adeu, let's get the lineup for AUs and their respective tags laid out! The Nexus Archives: Linksmeet Rewrite AU with a Lot of headcanons and a LOT of faffing about, 2-3+ years in the making since this post has been made - Tags: #The Nexus Archive AU , #tna , #Nec Arc Worldbuilding , #Nex Arc Art Tangled In The Web: A self indulgent The Magnus Archives Legend of Zelda crossover AU co-written with a few of my mutuals - Tags: #Tangled In The Web AU , #titw , #Tangled Web Art [As a small PSA I do ask that people do NOT tag my linksmeet work as LU, and I do not allow reposts or use of my art without credit. If you see my art anywhere uncredited, please message me so I can take it down. My main account is @the-scoreboard , so only that account is to be reposting my art uncredited, as both accounts are in fact the same person.]

Thank you to everyone who has hung around this long, and as much as I'm a spotty poster, I can't wait to see what these new years hold and I hope to bring content you enjoy forward!

Links Meet AUs List

A lot of AUs get lumped together with Linked Universe, so I wanted to make a list comprising any and all original Links Meet AUs I could find! Please let me know if I’m missing something, you want your AU to be removed, a link is broken, or if you know an AU’s status so it can be moved to the correct dedicated category.

DISCLAIMER: Please pay attention to the content warnings on some of these AUs! I haven’t personally read every AU so I don’t know what some contain, but if an AU has something you don’t vibe with, there are more than plenty of others that you will love on this list! Please be respectful and kind to everyone! This list is both for archival purposes and to appreciate the creativity of the community!

Additional Notes: Some AUs have dedicated Tumblrs, some can be found through original tags, some are only on ff.net or ao3, etc. I have a separate list for AUs limited to Discord/DMs that I have not included here unless I receive permission to do so! Also, if something is separated by ||, that means that theyre 2(+) separate AUs by the same creator in the same tumblr… if that makes sense LOL. This list is Always Updating so be sure to keep an eye out for any new AUs!

PRIVATE

AUs where the info is limited to Discord, DMs, and/or friends. Not typically published/shared publicly. Permission is asked to acknowledge these AUs here before posting.

• A Linked Week

• Fractured Timelines

NON-LINK BUT THEY STILL MEET

Crossovers with Zeldas, Ravios, Ganons… pretty much the exact same thing but with other characters.

• Linkleverse

• Lots of Ravios

• LU Ravioverse

• Strangers Across Eras

• Voice of Wisdom

• Wielders of Wisdom

LINKMEET LITE

Links meet, but it’s not the focus of the story/in the background (example: a world where all the links exist at the same time but the focus is on one specific character/the others dont come up much)

• Father of Time

• Royal Reads

INACTIVE/DEAD

An AU qualifies for the inactive category when: 1.) its been 2+ years since an update and 2.) it’s unfinished; or, 3.) the creator explicitly stated that they were discontinuing it. LMK if one still has a pulse!

• Across the Galaxy

• Into the Zeldaverse

• Link and the Links

• Linked By Time

• Linking Together

• Misfortunate Monsters

• Tangled Chains

• Zelda in the Multiverse

UNSURE/MIA

AUs where I am unsure of the status and thus need to contact the creator, the creator’s deciding where to go with it, or I can’t locate the original page. This is mostly for me- consider this kind of like a ‘to do’ list. Any insight is welcome!

• Bagel’s AU (N/C)

• Birdo’s AU (U)

• Cotty’s Linkverse (N/C)

• Chain Reaction AU* (Nuked, separate from one listed)

• Factorial’s AU (N/C)

• Minty’s Linkverse (U)

• Missing Links in Time (U)

[the-nexus-archive]

RBing this because Phantom Timeline has changed to Nexus Archive so the link won't work! Still the same AU, just a different name!

[the-nexus-archive]

I'm probably going to do more of these but this is what I could think of off the top of my head -[DO NOT TAG AS LU]

[the-nexus-archive]

Forgive me Zelda tumblr, I have nothing to show for my absense other than some slugs. Enjoy the slugs. Feel free to use the slugs for your own Au purposes WITH CREDIT!. I just thought I should post something before people start calling this AU of mine dead jdsnvbjsd

Status Update: Blog Reorganizing

You will notice I have purged all posts. I promise there will be a return of Art, however everything that had originally been posted is now severely outdated, so I'm slowly slowly getting myself to a point where I will have new and updated art for this AU. In the meantime, actual update. I had originally planned for this AU to be a comic. However. I have no actual training or real understanding of how to get a comic flowing properly, so I instead will likely be posting writing to AO3. Please keep in mind that this involves me writing a backlog and actually figuring out inbetweens of plot beats, so I am sorry to say this AU will be in progress for a little while longer. I want this to be good and to my current standards, so I appreciate everyone sticking around this long!
