Do you know of any other fics that have dark link joining the chain? Or anything that's similar?

I loved "hero for hire" and "a dark among the lights" by luckylectio for reference of what I mean ❤️❤️

The Heroes Darkling by Herring_the_skeleton

Summary:

The shadow had escaped AGAIN. Slipping away into a labyrinth of underground tunnels and caves.

The chain determined as ever follows suit. When finding their enemy turns harder than expected they split up to search.

All Legend wants to know is what is with this sassy lost child and why does it look kind of like the shadow.

The Chain of Light and the Dark Link by Satoshi_ashino

Summary:

He gasped as he breached the murky surface, dark tendrils of shadow tearing from his face and hands as he clawed out of the malevolent tar...on his knees, he heaved, sensing the last remaining traces from the dark abyss sear themselves to his core to become a part of him...A sound came out of him. A tone so savagely mangled and so viciously corrupted that it vaguely even resembled words as they echoed through the silently screaming halls. "...Demise’s Korok Seeds…"

-Or-

I force Dark Link to join the Chain and make it everyone's problem.

Nine is Odd, Let's Make it Ten by ForgottenPhantom

Summary:

Goddess Hylia sends her best Heroes on a fetch quest, Lord Demon Demise sends his best Puppet on an impossible quest.

And that's how Dark Link was staring down at a banana that a Stanger threw infront of him.

"What the fuck?"

"Ah, not Yiga clan!"

A Tale of a Darker Time by @luckylectio

Summary:

“So,” Malon states levelly, “for some reason, the guy you attacked, chained up, and imprisoned in our pantry, isn’t being cooperative.”

The pantry door rattles, angry hissing coming from within.

The collection of Links in her kitchen appear rather sheepish. Her own Link blinks back at her, “…Well, when you word it like that…”

-Or-

Heroes have been pulled together from across time to face a mysterious threat, but accidentally find a Link with a darker tale to tell.

May I also recommend Blooming Marigold by @winterbird160, Dark Times Call For Darker Measures by dizyeggs, This story of mine is not black nor white it just depends on if you're telling it right by LegacyMaker65.

And DEFINITELY you should check Home by @mysteryn0te ( this one is my favorite). I keep going back to this fic after every A Dark Among the Lights update, it gets better with every chapter, and the writing is *chef kiss* exquisite. This one has saved me from every hiatus of adatl.

Hope you like my recommendations.

Went to the AURORA 2.0 Discord concert today (the server organizes a concert once a month to get an many people there as possible) with @whatvioletdoes-blog and @savimatteo2810 :D

Had a very fun time and the concert got ~240 people! A different instance other members of the server ended up in got ~245 people in it. Added together that’s ~486 people watching the concert at the same time! I wish we’d all been together, but it was still cool!

How do we think skykids apply spells do they like, drink? the suspicious concoction, or do they like, pour it over them, or is magic actually not a liquid

#the animation has them holding it and then kinda tossing it upward #and sparkles pour out of it #so maybe like a spell scroll from d&d?#or they light the spell with the light on their chests that becomes their candle #and then it kinda coats them?#and then over time that coating of light burns away #which is why the spells are temporary #skyblr #sky children of the light

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been despairing as it is so hard now to find references and photos of succulents and other things for my designs!! T_T

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.

FIRST:

The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:

A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi

It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).

Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).

Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.

Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:

No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).

Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.

The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.

Bonus:

Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)

Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)

How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)

The way adult fandom people hold indie online creators and cartoons to a much higher standard than their actual local politicians. You could be putting that energy into terrorizing and protesting conservatives at your town hall and actually make a good material impact on the world but instead you're background checking everything the trans woman who made the amazing digital circus has ever said

passionpeachy

The point isn't "stop criticizing indie artists" or "defend your favorite show under this post". I don't even watch Digital Circus and no one is above criticism. Literally every indie show is getting torn to shreds on twitter right now and I'm not saying this to defend anyone I don't know. The point is "someone who actually has the power to kill us all and get away with it deserves way more ire and accountability than a cartoonist and I expect grown adults to understand this"
