Something I Whipped Up During The LU Write-a-thon. And Shockingly, Its Not Soul-crushing Angst!

Something I whipped up during the LU write-a-thon. And shockingly, it’s not soul-crushing angst!

Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: Linked Universe - Fandom, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Legend (Linked Universe) & Everyone, Hyrule & Legend (Linked Universe), Legend & Wind (Linked Universe), Legend & Warriors (Linked Universe) Additional Tags: Fluff and Angst, Light Angst, Legend (Linked Universe) Has Feelings, Legend (Linked Universe) Has Issues, Linked Universe Links As Family (Legend of Zelda) Summary:

"How old are you?" Wild asked. "And what's your hero title?" Wind added. "I just turned twelve," the newest Link replied, "And I don't have a hero name yet."

The Hero of Legend didn't always have that title. He had to earn it, fighting for it through the span of five quests and eight years. But at least he had the chain to help him along the way.

LU fandom, what's your "it might not be canon in the comics but you can pry it from my cold dead hands" trope? Mine is Time, Wind, and Warriors knowing each other from the war. Jojo shot said it wouldn't happen but that won't stop me.

I'm so happy you liked it! Your art brings me so much joy and I hoped to repay you even a little. Please know that I admire you as well, and that you're an incredible and beloved artist. Thank you for all your hard work!

For the wonderful @la-sera. You're such a talented artist and kind person, thank you for posting your beautiful works! Here's a short fic I wrote for Fan Joy July, based on this comic you made. I hope you like it.

Hyrule had always been a light sleeper. He could be woken up by the quietest sounds, whether it be footsteps from the other Links, or even crickets that chirped too loudly. And in tonight’s case, he was stirred awake by Legend’s mumbling. 

He couldn’t make out what he was saying, but his tone was pleading and desperate.

He propped himself up, turning around to face Legend. He was shaking, and he had broken out in a cold sweat. His entire face was scrunched together in distress, and even his ears were starting to droop from whatever horror he was dreaming of. Hyrule heard him grinding his teeth, and he watched as his hands clenched into fists.

A soft whimper escaped him, and Hyrule belatedly realized that he was also crying. The veteran, the one who acted so unaffected by his quests, was crying. The healer felt a gap open in his chest at seeing how devastated and scared Legend looked. Despite all the battles and dungeons they had faced together, he had never seen the veteran look so vulnerable.

The healer slowly reached for his shoulder, putting his hand down with a feather-light touch. He hoped that it would be gentle enough to not scare Legend, but he should have known better. Because as soon as he touched his predecessor, Legend grabbed his wrist in a vice grip.

The veteran snapped, “Touch me again and I swear-”

“It's just me, it's Hyrule!” He hurriedly explained, “You were having a nightmare, I wanted to wake you up…”

Legend stared at him for several more seconds before seeming to finally realize he wasn't under attack. He sighed and let go of the traveler’s wrist. He flung his hand over his eyes, trying to hide the tears that were falling down his face.

Hyrule put his hand on his brother's arms, trying to calm him down.

“It’s okay to cry…” he said softly. But Legend just huffed and turned around, facing his back at the traveler.

“I'm fine,” he muttered. Hyrule frowned before awkwardly lying back down, feeling dejected. He knew that Legend was still scared, whether he wanted to admit it or not. But how could he help? What would make him feel safer and looked after?

The answer was so simple, Hyrule nearly laughed.

He pressed his back against Legend’s, feeling his brother flinch slightly from surprise.

“Don't worry, vet, I've got your back.”

The traveler felt the veteran relax and within a few minutes, Legend started to snore softly. Hyrule smiled and closed his eyes, happy that he could help his brother.

🎻- Where do you look when you need some inspiration?

Usually I look to other people's writing or posts. Sometimes online prompts can help too, if I'm feeling stuck.

The amazing La-Sera has drawn art for this fic! Please check it out here, it's beyond beautiful!
