Paradox (Linked Universe Sickfic)

Summary: When Sky suddenly falls deathly ill with strange markings, Time has to piece together the cause and save him.

(Click here to read on AO3)

No one was entirely sure when it had happened, but Sky’s hair had been whitening. Once it became apparent, he’d been teased mercilessly for it by some, but other members of the team watched nervously, unsure if something was wrong.

The teasing had quickly stopped when Sky’s energy had started to deplete more easily. He’d be exhausted after a couple hours of walking. He could barely get through a meal without almost falling asleep in his food.

And then the coughing and fever had started.

By the time the boy’s hair had finally stained entirely white, he was a shivering mess. One morning, Time saw him by the river and walked over to him, surprised he was already awake, and realized with an icy jolt that he was crying.

“Sky,” he said, rushing to the younger hero and kneeling beside him. “Sky, what’s wrong?”

Sky had his face buried in his hands, shuddering and sobbing quietly. Time put a hand on his shoulder as the boy spiraled into a coughing fit.

“Sky,” he tried again as Warriors ran to join them alongside Legend.

The young knight eventually pulled his hands away, hiccupping, and looked at Time with pure terror in his eyes. His right cheek bore two parallel slashes beneath his eye, thick and bruised in color, and so, so, eerily familiar.

Time’s heart skipped a beat.

Warriors immediately looked at Time for guidance while Legend said, “What the hell happened to his face?”

“Sky, what did you do?” Time whispered, tracing the marking and wiping away multiple trails of tears as he did so.

He could never quite get an answer out of the boy. His condition only worsened after that. Twilight had come over quickly after Sky got so worked up he was vomiting, and the rancher carried him back to his bedroll after helping him clean up at the river. Sky had settled into an uneasy sleep and there he had remained for the rest of the day.

Time and Warriors had immediately searched his pouch for any sign of the cursed mask, but it wasn’t in the Skyloftian’s possession. Time found it innocently resting in his own pouch, and the captain looked at him in confusion.

“What could have happened?” he asked quietly. “He had to have worn it, right?”

“I don’t know,” Time answered, shaking his head. “It would be the only logical conclusion, but I’ve never seen him with it.”

A twig snapped behind them, and they turned to see Legend standing over their hunched forms, his arms crossed.

“All right, I want an explanation,” Legend demanded. “Sky’s only getting worse, and it’s scaring everyone. You clearly have some idea of what’s going on, so tell me.”

Time sighed. “We really don’t know, Veteran. His markings match an artifact of mine, but to our knowledge he hasn’t been in contact with it.”

“What artifact?” Legend questioned, his brow furrowing, refusing to end his interrogation.

Warriors looked at Time hesitantly, but the eldest only shrugged. There was no sense in keeping the existence of the mask itself a secret, just its use. The captain pulled the mask out for the veteran to see, holding it carefully out of the teenager’s reach.

“Hey! I know that mask!”

Turning, they saw Wild approaching them with a bowl of broth in his hands. “I didn’t realize you guys had the Fierce Deity mask as well.”

Time and Warriors eyed each other warily before looking back at the boys. “What do you know of it?”

“It can give you a little power boost, especially if you have the armor too,” Wild explained.

Maybe he loses his power over time, the eldest Hero wondered. The mask he had been using was not just a power boost, it was a game of risk, an adrenaline rush and a drug that could overpower the user if they weren’t careful.

“I see,” was all Time said.

The sound of retching caught their attention, and everyone hurried to Sky, who was being tended to by Twilight. The rancher looked up at Time, his face clouded with worry.

Sky had markings on both his cheeks now.

Moaning, the Skyloftian shriveled in Twilight’s arms, miserable and clearly in severe pain. His entire body was soaked in sweat. Wild wordlessly took the soiled bedroll from beside the rancher and walked away to clean it, carrying it with a white knuckled grip. Legend crouched down beside Sky and started to talk to him, trying to ask him what was wrong and where it hurt. Everyone else had gathered around, and Wind was asking question after question until Warriors eventually guided the worried boy away.

Four hugged himself, looking at Time. “Is he going to be okay?”

Time tried to give him a reassuring smile, but he didn’t really have an answer. He didn’t know what was wrong. He glanced at Hyrule, who shook his head.

“I’ve gone through every elixir and herb I can think of,” Hyrule muttered, worried. “Whatever it is, it’s not a normal sickness.”

Sky started to cry again, helpless and hurting, and Time had to walk away to compose himself.

That night no one slept. Sky was inconsolable, so the boys simply took shifts to try and be there for him. Twilight stayed with him through first watch, and then Legend sat beside him, worriedly knitting at a blanket he’d been working on for the knight since he’d first gotten ill. Time took the third watch, letting Sky rest in his lap, his moans and sniffles occasionally subsiding until he started to cry in pain again, leaving the eldest Link to hold him helplessly.

By the time the horizon started to bleed pink, Time was at his wit’s end. He despised this feeling, this utter uselessness. He couldn’t even make his boy comfortable at this point. He looked around the area to see if there was anything, anything that he could use to ease Sky’s suffering, and his eyes settled on an item in Sky’s belongings.

The Master Sword.

Time stared at it, his mind blank for a moment as dread filled him. The mystical blade was supposed to protect its wielder, wasn’t it? It was already obvious that Sky’s illness was unnatural, so shouldn’t the sword have prevented it?

Could it protect him now? Sky hadn’t touched it since he’d first fallen ill. Time distinctly remembered when it pulled Twilight from his wolf form a month ago.

Time felt his blood freeze. Slowly, he reached out, trembling fingers a hair’s breadth from the hilt.

Terror made him pause, but Sky whimpered again, taking a shuddering breath, tears trailing down tracks that they’d already made from earlier in the night, and the Hero of Time refused to let his fear lead to more suffering on Sky’s part.

His hand closed around the hilt, his heart racing, and he drew the blade.

For a moment nothing happened. For a moment nothing moved. Time held his breath to the point that he started to grow dizzy, feeling like a terrified child waiting for something awful to happen.

And then the blade pulsed. Sky shivered in Time’s arm. The blade pulsed again.

Time looked worriedly between the Master Sword and Sky, and he saw the boy’s eyes slowly opening. “…Fi…?”

Time brought the blade closer, unsure what he was supposed to do, trembling from head to toe. Sky glanced to his left to see the sacred blade, and he tried to reach for it with shaking fingers. Time let it rest in his grip, holding it with him so he wouldn’t drop it, and Sky smiled weakly.

Time breathed an immense sigh of relief.

“Fi…” Sky mumbled, his soft smile breaking through his worn, bone tired face. “I’m… sorry…”

His eyes welled with tears again, alarming Time. “Sky, it’s okay, everything’s going to be okay, you have nothing to be sorry for.”

Sky’s hand slipped off the hilt of his sword, and the blade pulsed again, faster, almost as if the blade were panicking. Time felt dread fill him. This… wasn’t a good sign.

“Sky,” he said, ignoring the frantic tone his voice had taken. He shook the boy, unceremoniously dropping the sword beside him. The teenager had grown limp, his eyes gazing off blankly, but he was still breathing, albeit shakily. “Link.”

Warriors had hastened over by this point, being the third person on watch and hearing Time’s voice rise in distress. Twilight was there in the heartbeat after, probably either just waking up or never having fallen asleep.

“What’s happening?” Twilight asked, his tone pitched up in fear despite his efforts to keep quiet.

“He’s getting worse,” Time answered, not taking his eyes off the boy.

Warriors hissed. “Worse? He can’t get much worse.”

Shaking the boy, Warriors tapped his cheek and tried to get his attention. Sky seemed to come back to awareness a little before his lips started to tremble and he whimpered, shriveling into Time’s chest.

“Sky, where does it hurt?” Warriors asked with a hand on the boy’s shoulder.

“E-everywh-where…” Sky hiccupped, his knuckles white as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

“This doesn’t make sense, I don’t—I don’t know what’s wrong with him!” Twilight shook his head, eyes wide.

Time’s thoughts drifted back to his conversation from earlier as his eyes settled on the markings again, and to Sky’s apologies, and he looked Sky in the eye. “Sky… what did you do?”

Warriors looked at the elder disbelievingly. “What are you talking about, this isn’t his fault!”

“I’m not saying it is,” Time replied, shaking his head. “But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what happened. Traveler said it himself, this isn’t a normal illness. The Master Sword tried to react to something within him but it didn’t work. It must be more complicated than that.”

“The Master Sword…?” Twilight muttered, glancing around and seeing it on the grass.

“D… D-Demise…”

The three snapped their attention back to Sky. “Demise?”

“Sky, don’t talk like that,” Twilight said, his voice trembling. “Don’t even start. Nobody’s demise is happening today.”

Sky took a shaky, deep, fortifying breath. “Demise…”

“What demise? Who?” Time asked hurriedly.

“He… h-he… enemy…”

“Demise is a person,” Warriors surmised, brushing sweaty white bangs out of Sky’s face. “Okay, Sky, what about him?”

The three hunched over the young knight as he struggled to breathe. Time felt his insides grow even colder. He knew that rattling sound, that specific, gasping, agonal pattern of breathing, and he saw Warriors’ face pale as he recognized it too.

This was it. Sky was dying. He was dying.

“Sky,” Time pressed urgently. “What about Demise?”

“H-he… ‘s… a g-god…”

“A god?” Twilight questioned. “I’ve never heard of him. Do you mean a spirit? Can he heal you? Is that it? How do we find him, Sky?”

Sky huffed, a rueful smile cutting across his sunken cheek. “Dead… I… k-killed… him.”

The world went silent.

He… he what?

A god. Sky killed a god. A timeless being, a creature with immense power far beyond what Time could even fathom. The closest Time had gotten was Majora, who was likely only a fraction of his power while sealed in the mask, and even then Time had needed a magical item and the powers of a god to even hope to accomplish the task, alongside the help of multiple magical beings.

Perhaps he had used the Fierce Deity mask to defeat this Demise? But Time couldn’t think of a single instance where Sky would have been gone long enough to steal his mask, fight a god, and return without anyone noticing.

No… no, Sky had done this on his own, before he’d ever met them.

Such an act couldn’t be without consequence.

A god. He’d killed a god. A deity.

A deity.

By the goddesses. Could it be…?

“I’m… s-sorry…” Sky suddenly said, his voice cracking, his body shivering. He started to sob uncontrollably now, and Twilight hastily snatched him out of Time’s loosening hold, cradling him as Warriors hovered over him and whispered softly.

Time rose unsteadily, his mind coming to an unsettling conclusion. His feet drew him away unbidden, and he was only broken from his trance by Legend, who was standing in front of the rest of the group; they were all awake and staying together in a tight group, watching the scene from a distance with fear in their eyes.

“Old Man…?” Legend asked, his face white, his own eyes glistening. He looked terrified.

Time couldn’t say anything. He shook his head and kept walking. His response stirred something in the younger boys, and they all ran to be with Sky.

The eldest Link stopped in front of his supplies, and he hunched over, grabbing the small, oval shaped ethereal object.

Could it really be…?

Sky was dying. There was no time left. It was now or never.

Gripping the Ocarina of Time firmly, the eldest Link marched back to his boys, who were all huddled together. The group parted for him when they saw him approach, their expressions holding appeals for him to do something.

Time knelt in front of the skyfallen knight and watched him a moment, gathering his courage. Sky was barely breathing.

He put the ocarina to his lips and played. The notes came to mind immediately, well-practiced, peaceful, somber, calming.

Healing.

There was a bright, warm glow. Everyone winced, looking away for a moment, and when Time looked back, Sky was coughing, harsh and unpleasant but filled with energy and life.

His hair was dirty blonde. His markings were gone.

And on the grass sat a wooden mask.

“Sky?!” Everyone rushed to him again, frantic and confused. The young knight took a few steadying breaths and then looked at Time, shocked.

Time grabbed the mask and tossed it aside so he could get to the boy. He didn’t even want to think of the ramifications of what had just happened.

“Damn time travel,” he muttered as he wrapped Sky into a relieved hug, and everyone else followed suit.

I know its not in her nature but I'd absolutely would love if Tessa would absolutely knock Maria out in Rhett's honor just so he could fuck her nice and good up against his truck for standing up for him 🤤

No, that's not in her nature at all lol BUT I think I know a way I can make it work...

Tessa wasn't a woman of violence. She worked with teenage boys day in and day out, most of them a true test of patience, so she knew how to control herself. But she expected better from someone grown. Someone who had their whole life handed to them on a platter. Someone who crawled back to her hometown after things didn't work out and expected everyone to treat her like a goddess for getting out for a few years.

As she was dragged out of the bar, two strong arms wrapped around her waist and practically lifting her into the air, she couldn't even remember what Maria said. Just that it was about Rhett and that it made her see red. How could she say that? About Rhett of all people, when he was standing right behind her? Someone so kind and genuine and rough and quiet and honest and sincere.

In the fresh air, she could feel the sting in the palm of her hand. Oh, God. She slapped her. She slapped Maria across the face. Shame filled her as she tripped over her own two feet, the arms holding her up gone.

But the next thing she knew, her back was against cold metal. Her body pinned by strong arms and broad shoulders. She looked up, red-faced and tears in her eyes, at Rhett staring down at her with those dark blue eyes and his trucker cap spun around backward.

"M'so sorry, I don'know - "

"Fuck, stop talkin', sunshine. That's the hottest thing've ever seen." He kissed her then, hungry and consuming with his big hand cupping her jaw. "Lemme say thank you."

Lips and teeth sucking and scraping at her neck, he pulled up the hem of her skirt...

does this need to be a full fic? cause it feels like a full fic

#annie answers #anons are nice #oc: tessa abernathy #fic: here to stay #fd: outer range #listen if i do this #IF I DO THIS #im gonna need help figuring out what maria says about rhett #cause i am TERRIBLE at writing mean dialogue #so bad at it #so i am all ears for suggetions lol #rhett abbott #rhett abbott x oc

Hey folks,

After a long, drawn out conversation with someone committed to ignoring how harmful TERF talking points are to the queer community, here’s a few important points.

If your response to “you’ve been sharing TERF talking points” is “I don’t care”, I’m going to assume you are a secret TERF

Anyone who is trying to force rigid definitions of any label onto everyone else is at the very best woefully ignorant of the point of the queer community and at worst actively trying to sow discord and harm to everyone

Women can identify as a lesbian and also like their girlfriend’s dick

Trans women are allowed to identify as lesbians, even if they have a dick

Bioessentiallism is dangerous, full stop

TERFs are fascists, and you don’t have to engage with their ideas; the ideas are bad.

Don’t let people ratchet off TERF talking points under the guise of “protecting lesbians” - it’s a fascist tactic that’s been used for years (see “protecting straight women from lesbians” or “protecting white women from black men”)

Anyway if you’d like some resources about TERF talking points and how dangerous they are, here are some excellent essayists to support:

youtube

#Youtube #fuck terfs #these resources feel really white #I swear I don’t just watch white people #I just happen to have fewer people of color as resources on this specific topic #fd signifier has a great video where he talks about the similar topic of ‘protecting white women’ as a racist dogwhistle #I cannot for the life of me find it #and it’s only related in terms of context so it’s not as useful of a resource here #anyway thanks for listening to me rant

So if you beta for flames desire whats the part you like most or something youre looking forward to in it? Thinking of reading it but was worried about the first chapter rating

Ah yes my favourite job, advertising Flame's Desire :]

That's totally understandable where you're coming from though chapter 1 as it stands is a lil dark with the events that take place in it but i promise! It's not graphic or gratuitous!

Rougie's description of the events don't go overboard or take it too far so if what you're fearing is super graphic descriptions of the bad stuff then you're all good! And so far chapter 1 is the darkest of the uploaded chapters so it starts off heavy but the tone lightens up in the following chapters.

As for what I like most about FD there is the general of me liking Rougie's writing a lot. And this is not just cause rougie's my good comrade, i think they got a really good handle of writing character interactions and setting up plot points. Plus i deeply enjoy how Natsu's written in FD.

But if we are talking specifics that i love then we might be here the whole night😅 because there is something in each chapter that i enjoy no joke. I really could talk on and on about each of em. But i am particularly attached to chapters 4&5 respectively with the long journey of the story kicking off and i am such a sucker for travel sequences plus lore drop and a development in Natsu and Lucy's friendship. And chapter 8 has a fight scene that i am really dying to draw.

And for what im looking forward to, i technically got one in the chapter im beta-ing now being a fire dance scene at the spring festival that Rougie teased me with from last year so im over the moon about finally getting it now.

The other is actually an upcoming scene in the chapter rougie's writing right now! A fight scene that i really can't spoil bcus its too important (im serious. They held this scene to their chest and almost didnt wanna tell me when i figured it out. If i spoil i lose beta privileges) but it's something that really has me on the edge of my seat due to the build up towards it (@kiliinstinct rougie if ur out there blease drop a crumb of spoilers in my DMs)

And aaaaaaaa man, i would drop in some screenshots of my fave bits but they don't hit as hard without the context yknow? You just, gotta trust me on this one here.

Trust this Phoenix.

There are heavy themes and stuff in the story but it's not overbearing or too in your face. It's a really fuckin good fic.

Go read FD, wont disappoint you. Pinky swear

#talking to the firebird #anon #anon listen to me my dear comrade #here in the tags i can gush like an idiot more #theres good natsu n lucy interactions both with romantic implications n platonic #side characters are fun i love how grays written even tho hes barely fuckin there makarov too #theres this fuckon beach scene like prime ship moment ofc but i love it more for the emotional implications on natsus end not romance wise #but as a look into his head with his own emotional dealio #theres this weird plot thread with mirajane that rougie refuses to even drop a crumb of a hint thats killing me #the fuckin fire dance scene god BLESS #listen man i just #dont let the rating hold u up truly #FD is so interesting and this isnt even friend bias talking #and even if it is friend bias talking go support my friends fic :) i promise youll enjoy it

Spoiler Alert has become my comfort book. Just finished my fifth (or sixth?) read -- finally bought the audio book so I don't have to wait for it to be available on Libby.

It's so fluffy and funny and romantic, with a heartfelt core addressing fatphobia, neurodivergence/ableism, toxic family, and setting boundaries. It's a love letter to fandom and fanfic that also pokes fun at terrible showrunners of epic TV shows. I really love the main characters. Especially Marcus, who is so soft and flawed in a very relatable way.

It brings me so much joy and I love it. Just what I've needed the past couple of weeks. 💖

[Edited out my insecure disclaimer.]

Refers to a man who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards men. Also a generic term for lesbian and gay sexuality - some women define themselves as gay rather than lesbian. Some non-binary people may also identify with this term.

"You're very pretty.. but I think I prefer boys. " "Oh! Oh thank Merlin!"

Headshot & Sunshine

aka....uh what if Jake Seresin had his original callsign Headshot?

He was an all-black-wearing grump who didn't say much - Navy pilot with the only confirmed kill this century, right through the other pilot's canopy and into their skull.

She was a 70s flower child who radiated joy - a baker with a large following on social media and a 100-kilowatt smile.

Could it be any more obvious?

#listen idk what this is either #but i saw the post about what his callsign originally was #and then i got talking with kee #and suddenly this was here #i've only had headshot and sunshine for 48 hours but if anything happened to them #i would kill everyone in this room and then myself #oc: sunshine miller #fic: headshot and sunshine #fd: top gun #jake seresin #jake seresin imagine #jake seresin au #jake seresin x oc #ya know i should learn to space shit out #but also i am filled to the brim with ideas and shant be stopped
