Don’t imagine the Perfect Captain Ending where the Captain has to go clean out Mark’s locker, only to find the cologne he always wore.
And don’t imagine the Captain taking the bottle for themself because now he’s gone but hey, at least they can still be reminded of him like this.
And don’t imagine the Captain spraying it on every now and then to imagine that they are still near him in some kind of way.
And definitely don’t imagine how devastated they are the day that the cologne runs out.

All the polls will come out April 4th 7pm GMT. Together, because what's the point dividing them further. If they don't, that means I probably crumbled under the heavy load of whatever last-minute assignments they're giving us at the uni so hard I didn't have a minute to make eight pictures and polls.

Have any of the other Links seen Legend pull on his feathers? If so how did they react to seeing it for the first time? Also if they do know that he pulls when upset do they try getting his mind somewhere else like Warriors teasing him or the others allowing him to preen them?
Hello my friend! Excellent question! The answer is yes, everyone in the group has seen Legend pull at his feathers at LEAST once because it's kind of second nature to him now. Now the level of extremity they've seen of his plucking does vary between different Links however. For example, Time and Sky are the main ones who see him when he's REALLY bad to the point where he needs physical intervention because he's literally shaking and bleeding from it, whereas the younger members like Wind and Four usually only ever really see the "fidgeting" side of it.
You can basically compare his everyday feather fiddling as the equivalent of somebody biting their fingernails or repeatedly picking at a scab wound. It's usually not too bad, and it's a minor inconvenience at worst, but the severity of it can change depending on circumstances and can become a real problem if left alone.
As for how the others reacted to seeing his plucking for the first time, it actually wasn't that exciting or significant of an experience! The only one who was really concerned from the beginning was our resident bird lover Sky, mainly because he's had experience in seeing how that behavior can escalate into a real problem in both Loftwings and Hylians alike.
Now this is not to shame or underestimate the observational and emotional skills of the other Links by any means! In their defense, when they first saw Legend fiddling with his feathers it seemed to be a very casual, normal experience for him and they genuinely saw no harm in it. Again, it's like watching somebody absentmindedly biting their fingernails or picking at a scab. You don't usually put much thought into it.
However, once they witnessed his first really bad "episode" since joining the group, their opinions regarding the matter completely changed. Now, whenever the others start to notice him spiraling, they often act in many of the ways you listed! Whether they're teasing him or simply offering to spar with him, their ultimate goal is to distract him and keep his mind and hands busy. Any other efforts such as forcibly trying to make him rest or forcing him to talk about it usually just results in more yelling and fighting than actually helping, so they try to focus their efforts more on distraction rather than confrontation. This has resulted in many preening sessions that were...harsher than they needed to be and resulted in a lot more discomfort rather than actual helping, but the others are more than happy to make those sacrifices for their brother.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you again for all of your questions!!! I'm always more than happy to go into more detail if you have any further questions or theories! :D

Me, looking at vulgar french words for penis: Oh neat they also have Verga
Also tbt to the time a teacher of mine said "Le bilo bitte" instead of Bic and we spent a full hour laughing
"verge" is commonly used in french smut and is at least marginally better than "membre" which is a nightmare imo. "organe" is another euphemism which i feel like you need to be very confident in order to pull off. i haven't written smut in french in so long i'd like to write some this year
"bite" is always funny altho i do think going a step further and reaching for "teub" gives it a real special flavor

⚔️ // she felt DISHONEST.
as though she were BETRAYING HER FRIEND right then and there , by not staying. as she walked away yellow carnations sprouted from her hair. into the fabric of her coat , bursting through skin and climbing vines up her wrists and ankles. byleth grimaced and tore them out. she shuddered as the front door closed behind her.
her chest heaved.
in her empty house with no one around and no one to watch as pain lanced through byleth’s chest , she slid down , DOWN , down the door frame.
the lump in her throat worsened.
if she had a heart , perhaps it might stutter. perhaps it might stop. but it didn’t. and she fiddled with the edges of her cloak before drawing her knees to her chest.
. . . perhaps she should go back.
make sure he got his gift. ensure he was okay.
after all , his abode was only a block down. she could — . . . what? wait in the cold for footsteps that wouldn’t come? for a door that wouldn’t open? watch while his eyes burned cold , if the door did reveal him? stay helplessly silent as dimitri snarled , told her it was a WORTHLESS ENDEAVOR , and turned his back? ( again ? )
her eyes closed as fragments of time spun in the darkness there. . . . glimmers of a chapel in ruins . . . of a blue cloak. of a voice that rumbled low as it snarled out words she couldn’t place.
byleth’s head ached as more flowers bloomed there.
the lump suddenly lodged within byleth’s throat , constricting her lungs as it whistled through her teeth. her shoulders SHOOK and HEAVED before byleth coughed and CHOKED — before her lungs , with great effort , spluttered out. she spat out the lump - the OBJECT - out into her hands , fingers tinged red and mouth tasting of copper from all of the words she hadn’t said , and all of the words she hadn’t written down either.
( and the iris petals had fallen from her desk with each penned word , just as more flowers bloomed and choked the earth in its place. )
. . . a garden anemone. its petals were pale and white and fragile. they shook in her hand as she lifted it to eye level. tainted only by the red in her hands.
another to add to the growing pile of dead and wilted flowers torn from her hair and her skin and her clothes. ( dizzy. she was — suddenly feeling dizzy. with pain from flowers blooming and crawling up her skin ; fatigue from - she didn’t really know what from , anymore. )
byleth twirled the anemone between her fingers. she slowly , slowly , stood to her feet.
she would push through this.
ENDURE.
the anemone fell to the floor with the rest of them.
perhaps she would check on him another day.
when she wouldn’t choke on petals and flower bulbs.
