The Chain and the No Good, Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Day: Chapter 2: Who’s Not Dead? Sound off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Something wrong Pup?” Twilight flinched when his Uncle caught him on his phone. He put it away giving his apologies, knowing he needed to refocus on their post battle meeting. “As I was saying, while individually all of you are strong. Today it was clear that we still have a lot to work on as a team.”
Despite the tense lecture, the bubbly girl behind Time came out with manila folders for each of them. “While sadly I couldn’t include my normal visual evidence of your performances, I still made sure to include as much detail as possible in writing.”
There was a part of Twilight that wanted to tell Linkle that someone else had taken that position this go around. Yet he kept that to himself. No need to add on another lecture about keeping their identities a secret to civilians. That was their number one rule here after all.
Time sighed but let the girl show her enthusiasm in the little ways that she could. She wasn’t on the battlefield with them but there was no need to crush the girl’s spirit. Especially when she tended to be the moral support the boys needed on bad days such as this one. 
“We’re lucky today was only Vaati on the field.” Time massaged the spot between his eyebrows. “If Ghirahim was there, or worse, they somehow find a way to tolerate each other and actually work together then we’d all be in trouble.”
“Hey!!!” A pink blur rushed at time pointing to Wolfie who was resting on Twi’s shoulder “if he wasn’t so quick to rush in we would have been fine!” The small bunny chibi was pouting. 
“Maybe if you were faster on your feet Little Rabbit, I wouldn’t have had to come and save your hide.” Wolfie was quick to bark back. 
Lupine scoffed, “Why you-“
“Enough you two.” The voice now came from Sky as perched on top of his head was his own little chibi self. A knight dressed in green and gold.“This is exactly what he was talking about.” 
“Again, Vaati can control as many puppet civilians as he wants. Those are easy for you boys to deal with individually.” Time repeated himself, in the vain hope that it would stick in some of their heads. “But if this is how it’s going to be with Vaati, I’m concerned about how you boys plan to defeat Ghirahim the next time he brings about his hoard of monsters. I pray they don’t figure out how to turn their puppet civilians into monsters.”
“Since there were some casualties today I’ll let you all go for now.” Time continued on. “But training will be rescheduled for tomorrow at 3 pm. Wind would be joining us again. Hyrule pay close attention to your injuries, we don’t want to strain Mari anymore than they already are.” And just like that, Time left the Heroes alone to themselves.
“Since there were some casualties today I’ll let you all go for now.” Time continued on. “But training will be rescheduled for tomorrow at 3 pm. Wind would be joining us again. Hyrule pay close attention to your injuries, we don’t want to strain Mari anymore than they already are.” And just like that, Time left the Heroes alone to themselves.
“What’s got you all smiley at your phone?” Warrior grinned, leaning over Twilight’s shoulder. “A girl?”
There was a blush on Twilight on his face when a familiar face popped into his head but he shook it off as fast as he could. He didn’t want to make Wild suspicious. “It was my coworker Enno. They have a picture of your wipe out.”
Warrior’s face paled. “They do not. You didn’t send it to them.”
“You’re right, I didn’t. I wouldn’t dare.” Twilight crossed his arms. “They sent it to me.”
Warrior stood up in a flash and Twilight followed him, using his extra inch of height to his advantage. Was it childish? Yes. Did he care? No.
Somewhere behind him he could hear Wolfie cackling and Warrior’s guardian fly over where they promptly started to wrestle each other, the energy from both of them feeding into Warrior and Twilight as they both took a step closer to each other.
“Fight me, Pretty Boy.” Twilight smirked.
“I’ll take you on any day, Country Bumpkin. Don’t test me.” Warrior smirked back.
Wild’s phone rings, breaking their attentions and shutting both of them up.
Wild stands and answers it. “Pinky? What’s up?”
There’s some concerned yelling that Twilight can pick up from the speaker. Twilight can feel another blush begin to blossom on his face and steps away from Warrior entirely. He’s fully intent on leaving the meeting room entirely as Wild talks to his sister. Her phone number has been washed off of his arm at this point but it sits heavily in his phone. The very weight of the idea that he could talk to her anytime sits in his pocket like a stone. 
“There is a girl.” Warrior mutters his breath. He’s impressed. Warrior is typically wrong about his jokingly romantic guesses when it comes to Twi but to know that there’s someone who’s caught their farm boy’s eye... Well none of them knew if it was ever going to happen.
“I’m dead.” Hyrule groans. “I’d like to stay but I feel dead.”
“Yeah, yeah…” Legend sighs and begins to help the boy out of his chair, picking up the little puppet doll affectionately called Mari. He helped Hyrule get to his feet and more or less had to drag the other out the door. “We gotta get you home anyway. And maybe some soup in your stomach or something.”
“I’m tired.” Hyrule groans again. “I wanna go home.”
“We’ll get you home.”
“...Yay…”
“Poor ‘Rulie…” Four sighed and stretched, getting out of his chair and pushing it back in like the gentleman his father was trying to raise. “That arguably was probably the worst he’s ever performed. It’s just a good thing that he was able to heal the city or else we would have had hell to pay.”
“Agreed.” Sky sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He already had to start planning his midterm or he was going to be weeks behind in work. Where was the coffee god when he needed them? “We can’t keep going on like this or we’re going to get not just a bad rep but on the press’s bad side. Once we get on their bad side they're going to do all that they can to make our lives a living hell even if we’re trying to stop it from freezing over.”
“You look like you’re already living through it.” Four comments with a small smile.
“College is hell.” Sky hits his head on the table and stays there.
A sigh was heard from above Sky’s head and Four looked up every so slightly to see the sleepy man’s guardian sit on his head. “I told you to go to bed earlier.”
“I have work to do Leo.” Sky groaned into the table. “Aren’t you the one who keeps telling me to get my work done?”
“You have to manage your time better.”
“There’s not enough hours in the day to do all that you’re asking me.”
Four snorts and shakes his head. “I have a shoot in two hours, so I gotta go.”
“Mr. Actor over here finally got the part!” A little purple haired guardian shouted from his hiding spot. “So he’s gonna be a super star!”
“Shadow, let’s go!” Four called over his shoulder.
Warrior nodded as another one of them left the room. “Good for him.”
“At least something is going right.” Sky muttered and sat up, stretching as it would solve all his problems. “I have an exam in an hour.”
“Didn’t the semester just start?” Warrior raises an eyebrow.
“Yes.” Sky deadpanned. “Kill me.”
Warrior snorts but waves his hand in reply. “Good luck.”
“I wish I were dead!”
“No, you don’t.” Leo sighs again. “Otherwise you wouldn't see that coffee barista sent from heaven itself.”
Warrior’s eyebrows shot up into his hairline.
Two guys of the group have people on their minds… and it’s the ones they never thought were gonna get a relationship. One’s a workaholic juggling three jobs and working toward a vet tech degree and the other is on the verge of college burnout. There’s a betting pool every semester that he’s gonna drop out.
He hasn’t yet.
Obviously.
But Sky’s getting there.
That being said, Four reminded Warrior of something he already had planned as well. “I gotta bounce too! I also have a shoot!”
“Take care Captain!” Time waves him off when he comes back into the room. “Is Linkle going with you?”
“Nope! She drove here herself. I have to go-”
“Fix up your sorry mug.” Twilight snorted the minute Warrior stepped outside. “God knows why you get paid to show it off.”
“Because I was God’s gift to mankind. This face is the very proof of a divine existence.” Warrior winked and began to walk away.
Twilight rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out playfully. In his peripheral he saw Wild having an ongoing conversation on his phone, no doubt still talking to his sister. The idea made Twilight feel warm and nervous.
“Did something happen, Pup?” 
Twilight jumped and slammed his head on the door of his car. He whipped his head to look at his uncle. Eyes wide and heart pounding, he wasn’t even aware Time was laughing at him until he saw the hand over Time’s mouth. “Uhh… no.”
He said. You know-- like a liar.
“Then care to tell me what was so important on your phone to ignore what I was saying?” Time raised an eyebrow. “I heard it was your coworker. Enno, right? Are they ok?” 
Twilight nodded. “They wanted to send an image they found of Apollo wiping out.”
“Ah...” Time crossed his arms, a serious look crossing over his face. “And that couldn’t wait until the briefing was done?”
“It’s not like they know.” Twilight tried to defend himself. “If I didn’t respond they would have suspected something was up.”
Time stared at Twilight longer than he was comfortable with before he turned on his heel. “Send it to me.”
Twilight could have cheered.
“Ok, yeah, I’ll pick you up.” Wild walked over and clapped Twilight on the shoulder. “Ok, bye Pinky. I promise I was nowhere near the attack. Not even to take pictures. Bye. Love you too. I’ll be there soon.”
Twilight gulped and tried to hide the way he was biting his lip. To be so close and yet so far from her-
“Wild!”  Wolfie groaned and flopped on top of the younger boy’s head. “I wanna talk to your sister!’
Twilight swatted at his guardian, smacking the little guy halfway across the ranch.
Wild pocketed his phone and raised an eyebrow at Twilight. “I was gonna ask if you could take me home or if I was on my own, but you just answered my question before I could ask it. Come on Cal, let’s-”
“I can drive you.” Twilight blurted. 
“I think I’ll take my chances by transforming.” Wild rolled his eyes and waved goodbye. “I’ll tell Pinky how scared you were during the attack.”
“No!” Wolfie cried out. “She has to think we’re cool!”
“You never were!” Cal yelled back.
“Cal, hero up!” Wild yelled and there was a flash of bright light.
Twilight took his phone out and took a picture before Champion could magic his way away. 
Pinky’s little name popped up on the top of his phone with a message. The first one between them.
Tumblr media
Twilight gulped and touched the notification. It opened up his message app and he pulled up his keyboard.
Tumblr media
Twilight didn’t know how to feel about that. He didn’t want there to be any divisions between family, especially when his best friend was involved but at the same time…. He knew why Wild had to keep secrets and he didn’t know any other way to fix it. He might mention to Wild to keep things a bit more honest for the sake of his relationship with his sister but…
Twilight took a breath and he pressed call.
He held up the device to his ear and waited for it to dial.
“Hello?” Her voice came through the speaker and Twilight couldn’t help the soft smile- borderline bashful expression that grew on his face.
“Hey. Everything ok?” Twilight kicked the dirt a bit with the tip of his shoe. “You seemed anxious.”
“I…” Pinky sighed and Twilight’s heart ached for her. “I’m very protective of him. There was a lot from the accident that we had to work through... He was a whole new person when he woke up. There was a lot of talk from everyone and just… I was the only one he really remembered, you know? I ended up being his protector. I think I’m just being paranoid.”
Twilight made a sound of acknowledgment and nodded even though he knew she couldn’t see him. “Wild is a good guy. He can handle himself.”
“I know.” She spoke again, her voice quiet and resigned. “Old habits die hard I guess.”
“I… know how you feel.” Twilight admitted and he waved his hand to fight away Wolfie from tackling his phone.
“You do?”
“Yup.” Twilight popped the ‘p’. “I have a little brother too. His name is Colin but he’s in middle school right now.”
“Big age difference.”
“I’m also adopted, remember?” Twilight blushed at the admission. It was never something that bothered him. He didn’t know what it was that was making him act like a shy school boy when this was supposed to be a simple conversation.
“Oh yeah! You told me about him.” Pinky seemed to brighten a little. “What’s the rest of your family like then?”
“A bit like yours to be honest.”
“What?”
“The ears--”
“You’re joking!” She laughed a bit. “What are the odds? Are we opposites or something?”
“Hi Joking, I’m serious.” Twilight found himself laughing slightly as well. There was a bit of a surge of confidence. “Besides, opposites attract don’t you know?” 
The laugh he got on the other side of the call was worth the minor embarrassment he felt at saying that line. He took one second to compose himself before he glared at Wolfie, the little brat sending him a cheeky wink in response.
“You’re welcome.” Wolfie whispered just beyond the phone’s microphone.
“I like you.” Pinky said when she calmed down. “You know what? I feel better, thank you.”
“Ah-” Twilight couldn’t help the stupid grin on his face that grew. “Any time.”
“I just need to calm down. He’s actually on his way over.” She said and Twilight could feel the way her stance relaxed. “I know it’s just a problem I’m dealing with. I don’t want him to get sick of me or anything. I don’t want to be too overbearing either.”
“I think your concerns are valid.” Twilight offered. “He’s your brother. You want what’s best for him.”
“The question is though, if it’s the same thing that it used to be… or if I’m even able to provide it.” She sighed once more. “I love him to bits. I can’t help it.”
Twilight’s heart was pounding and he leaned back against his truck. It was old and beat up but it still drove around well enough. “That’s not a bad thing. Worse comes to worse and you need to talk to him about it. How bad can it be?”
“I know.” She chuffed and then she said, “Thank you Link.”
A blush bloomed on the boy in question’s face. The fact that she had used his real name so casually had taken him by surprise. It was nice to hear after so long of being with this group of so many others with the same name. He had forgotten about it occasionally.
“Hello?”
He blinked and came back to himself. “Uh, yeah! Sorry! I’m still here. You’re welcome.”
“You ok?”
He stalled and cradled his phone closer to his cheek. “I’m fine.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, it’s just… You said my name is all.”
A pause on her end. “...Was I… not supposed to?”
“No!” He shouted before covering his mouth. Ignoring the minor embarrassment from his outburst, he continued. “No, you’re fine. It’s fine. It’s just been a while. It… It was nice.”
“Well then, I’ll just have to call you that more often then.” He could hear her cheeky smile. 
He coughed, trying to get himself in order and ignore the way it played with his heart strings. “No problem.”
No, his voice did not crack.
“Oh, Wildcat’s here! I’ll see you around Link. Thanks for calling.” She giggled a bit. “Bye.”
“Bye-bye.” He said, and looked at his phone screen just in time to see her hang up. He gulped and placed the phone over his heart, the traitorous thing refusing to calm down under his willpower.
Woflie sighed next to his ear and flopped on his shoulder. “She’s so cute. She’s so nice. I want to kiss her and hold her and--”
Twilight knocked him off without remorse.
Time laughed a bit and it was then that Twilight remembered that he wasn’t alone.
Sitting up with something akin to horror all over his face, Twilight looked at his uncle. “You saw nothing.”
“When do we get to meet her?”
“Uncle!”
“Soon! Hopefully! I want to talk to her more and bring her over and marry her-!”
“WOFLIE!!!”
Time laughed, hearty and loud, much to his nephews' chagrin. He could remember being young and in love and the amount of work he had to put in to get over himself and marry the love of his life, Malon.
He wonders if this would be similar, he can only wish his nephew the best. “Stay there for a sec, Pup.” 
Time walked into the house for a brief moment. Coming back out with a dark brown leather jacket. “Here.” The older man threw the jacket to his nephew. “For luck.”

I was at a debate competition yesterday, so here's some art of the chain based on that. This is a debate au now ig?
Lu-tober day 15+16
No prompt
Debate AU lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway highlights from the trip + bonus info
Had to get up at like 3:45 am, had to be their at 4:45 and then hours of drive time it was some bullshit no one was happy also it was cold as fuck
Wild and Hyrule being in Congress bc they're speech kids and need a debate even is so me tho. I crashed and burned cause I had not a single thing prepared lmao
Turned Legend and Four into a PF duo cause they gave me the same vibe as a pair of people on my team, also I think it'd be funny
I won first place with my Oratory! Wasn't actually expecting that, but I got straight 1's through all my rounds, was very confused at first but hey I slay :D
Last comic bit of Wild winning is basically a recreation of that moment expect there was more exited running and fistbumps as I returned to the audience
Probably never gonna touch this idea again but I find it amusing for now. Maybe one or two bored doodles during rounds.

just finished re-reading little mushroom for the second time, and FINALLY after 3 reads i’m on tumblr looking for it
on a related note: seeing the array of new readers’ responses from “i’m finally going to read it! :D” “haha silly mushroom guy” to “what does it mean to be human.” “experienced the full spectrum of human emotion” is amazing and hilarious lmao! like yess the world building and cute little mushroom catches you, then BOOM. existentialism.
it’s so good.

question!
i've been wanting to stray away from lu for a while now and do my own thing with wars n ledge and the rest of the links (mainly bc i feel restricted by jojo's rules/don't agree w her takes, and wanna pursuit my own stuff), but there's one big thing holding me back, and that's lack of views to put it bluntly
if i make my own au and don't tag its content as #lu, then it will most definitely get a fraction of the attention my lu content does. and i know it sounds self-centered of me to worry abt something like that, but i put months of work into the fics i post. i put days of work into each art piece i post. if i work on something for months and then 10 people on ao3 read it and an astounding 0 of them even leave a comment, that will be Devastating to my motivation And confidence
what im asking y'all is this: should i finally make my own au to separate myself from lu and risk the plunge in notes, or should i stay in the lu fandom and suffer?

✷ drunk in love
cw: nsfw content, fem reader, mentions of piv, i dont speak great English so some words might be used wrong, etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
over spring break you watched a few “videos” to get a better idea of what you and luke should be doing in bed because i mean neither of you are very experienced so you wanted to try some new things so when you got back to camp you suggested a new position to luke and he was more than happy to oblige.
it wasn't anything like super crazy though, just that your lower back was raised off the bed by your pretty pink pillows, allowing luke to cock to hit deeper.
his thrust were slow, caluclated, drawing little whimpers from you with each thrust. he was asking you something, however you have turned into a cock-drunk mess. his question struggling to resonate in your mind. all you could focus on was the rhythmic squeak of your bunk, the coil in you stomach threatening to break, his fingers digging into the flesh of your hips already leaving bruises…
and then everything stilled. there was a foreign pressure on your lower abdomen. the sensation sending goosebumps throughout your body, your warm walls instantly clenching as your eyes shot open to be met with him already staring at you.
"that got your attention, huh baby?”
"luke...wha–" you could only let out a whine as he did it again, you clenched around him making him let out a choked moan.
"look," you did as you were told and followed your gaze down until you saw it. there was a small bump protruding from the skin of your tummy. your eyes widened as he thrusted his hips forward to demonstrate, his cock visibly moving inside you. "looks like my dicks about to break ya open” he chuckled.
he began to thrust his hips forward again, using his finger to trace the outline over your stomach, enchanted by the sight of his dick ramming into you. “lu-muph!”
“awh did i fuck my poor baby dumb?” he cooed as he pressed down on your stomach again and this time you saw stars, toes curling as your jaw dropped , you’ve never came so hard before. so i guess it was safe to say your little research helped.
Tumblr media
authors note: again im sorry if the english is bad :) also tell me why i was helping my parents at their restaurant and one of the customers mocked my accent while i was taking their order and the thing is we live in hawaii and like you could tell they were tourists so like who has the audacity to mock someone who actually lives hear when you on our land which we dont even want you on like wtf (i have a spanish accent but still) also i saw something like this with this like idea but i think it was for nate jacobs (is that his name?!?)or something idk credits to them i guess

The Ultimate Warp Zone
"I'm sorry!" The yelp is muffled from the pounding in your head, eyes unfocused from the harsh collision as you tried to collect your thoughts. "I wasn't looking where I was going- ah, geez."
The words are familiar to you in a way that shouldn't. The voice tickling the edge of a memory that you can't quite reach while still trying to phase back into reality. Who was it? You knew it, you knew it but how?
Blindly, your hand reaches out- looking for perch, looking for reassurance, you're not entirely sure, but your sudden guest is kind enough to respond with their own hand, tugging you onto your feet with a small grunt of effort. Body collides with theirs, their hands keeping you steady as you gather all the energy to look up at your new companion.
Blue eyes stare back. "Are you okay?"
You blink "Uh, yeah, sorry for bumping into you."
"It's no problem, dude." A smile pulls across his face, "Can't say it's your fault alone anyway-"
The shouting from earlier proceeds, glancing back the way you came towards the dragging corridor to where the corrupted monsters had hailed from, a curse falling from your mouth.
"Fuck-" You hissed, jumping back and looking at the man. "Listen, mate, we should get running-"
That's no Hylian wear, nothing close to it, your eyes running over his...uniform that clearly looked to be taken out from a damn 90s American slice of life.
"-uhhhhhh." The boy is looking at you curiously, a little weary from the noise that only grows closer, hand tightening around- the gamepad around his waist. "Uh, hey, uh dude- What's your name?"
No hesitation. "Kevin. Kevin Keene."
"...The fucking Game Master?"
----------
Ya'll, Idk what this is either, it just hit me and I wanted to give you something- I also have been hyperfixating on this au
(I'm gonna tag this as LU because it's still an LU au but I wanted to at least say it was without the context)

everybody and their dad has made a "what if all the zeldas and links were in one place" au. there is nothing wrong with yours and that anon is being really weird about it. i still am not sure why LU got so Popular compared to all the other ones but that doesn't give anybody a reason to go dunk on multilink aus that Aren't LU?? either way. hi i personally love your different zeldas so much and i hope you have a wonderful day.
awwww thank you so much, it makes me so happy to hear that you like my zeldas <3 and yeah idk why lu got so popular compared to other ones-- ive mentioned this before, but ive been in the fandom since i was like, 9. not just a fan but like actually in the fandom, cosplays (not halloween costumes, honest to go cosplay), fan art (posted to DA, of course, XD) fanfics (written in my fluffy early 2000s heart locket diary that i read out loud to the fellow campers at church camp) FAN SONGS AND AMVS the whole 9 yards. so i have seen thousands of links meet aus come and go, even before skyward sword came out. hell, i distinctly remember 'links meet spandex aus' (*shudders* if you dont know what the skyswd spandex au was, dont look it up, it's nasty) so i have no idea what makes lu so special. the art maybe? but jojo isnt the only links meet fan comic out there (like linked maze, linkverse, bonus links, all of which rock but i wont tag bc i doubt they want to be associated with fandom wank-- but you should def check them out!! especially linkverse, mina is a wonderful artist and so sweet) and certainly wasn't the first links meet fancomic. they were all the rage on DA once skyward sword established a lot of new lore, and you can still find them archived on there, and even before link meet fancomics became common, link meet aus were alllllll over fanfic.net. one common one that i have remember being insanely popular is the links watching each other play their games and remarking on them, a trope that was super common post skyswd release but has fallen out of fashion. jojo is a wonderful artist, with interesting and creative designs, but jojo isn't the end all be all, ya know?
idk, in the nicest way possible, lu is one version of a very common, very old trope that has been around since the fandom started, and it is no better (or worse!) than any other links meet, and its fandom has no reason to be as stuffy, overprotective, or self-absorbed as it unfortunately can be when at the end of the day, its comic is just one out of a million.
okay wank over *wheew*

Some I’m here’s the first page of my dumb lil’ crossover ship for miku x legend. Tho it’s starts off with Four and Sky and I don’t know if people would get annoyed if I tagged this as Lu cuz later it won’t maybe focus on the chain but idk so-
Anyways wrote it last night
He looked up at the portrait, the golden sunlight pouring in the room from the stain glass window and illuminating the cool-toned painting with warmth. The portrait was of a young girl and woman.
The girl had rosy checks, pale skin and light blue hair tied up in pigtails; her eyes a crystal like periwinkle. A glowing smile across her face. Her cloths were formal, a lavender dress accented with black and silver lace. A strange device was placed over her ear, it was gray and looked to be metal. Simple blue diamond stud earrings and a neckless completed her eyes and hair.
The woman had light skin and wine colored hair. Her hair was pulled back into a lose but neat ponytail, round shades propped above her bangs. Her eyes had no pupil strangely enough but had a saturated pink-purple middle and lilac on the outside. Her outfit was a plain white collard shirt, a black coat hanging off her shoulders. Pearl earrings and neckless with golden weave in-between them made her seem even more elegant. A stern yet somehow still amused expression laid set on her face.
“I wonder who they are?” Sky said, he looked intently at them once again. This time the women’s face looked frighting, he felt her eyes glaring at him. He quickly looked over at wind who was doing the same as him.
Four inspected the painting closely,“their clothing… I’ve never seen any like it before.” He really, never had before. “I mean sure I’ve seen the royal balls with clothing and the latest fashion from the nations around us but this,” he gestured to the painting, “this seems to be a bit farther ahead in time.” He paused and glanced his eyes over the background of the portrait. “Look at the the background too! I haven’t heard of architecture of this kind before, let alone to have the stars in the background. They appear from an endless sea. An angle one could not get from earth.’’
the both of them stared at it again.
“Something else too,” Sky aired, “this ‘painting’ is so well, different then a painting? It reminds me more of Wind’s pictograph than anything.”
There was a softness to the picture but somehow it was different, the quality looked intentional. Small static piece of light dotted the photo and gave it character, a small orange streak in the right upper corner of the paper was present.
“Hmm, I agree,” Four said, he turned away from it. “But I think we should be going, everyone is going to be wondering why we’re so late for dinner.”
Sky nodded his head and they both started down the hall. Warriors was wealthier then he seemed. His house was quite the big maze of elegant hallways, rooms, corridors, and courtyards. Sky and Four’s room had ended up on the opposite side of the house where the dinning room was.
“Besides, we can ask Wars who they are once we eat.” Sky said as he opened another door.

2022 Writing Year in Review
thank you @flameohotwife and @chocomd for the tag! great way to start a new year of writing is to look back 
1. Number of stories posted to Ao3: 15! most oneshots and drabbles, 1 that is a multichap still in the works
2. Word count this year: 75,791
3. Fandoms I wrote for: Avatar: The Last Airbender
4. Pairings: Aang/Katara
5. Stories with the most:
Kudos: i lost it all again (can you help me find it once more?), the second fic in my Katara-centric series
Bookmarks: dreamless dreams
Comment threads:  see the sky and sea (and remember me)
Word count: see the sky and sea (and remember me)
6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): there’s a lot, but i guess i will have to say dreamless dreams, my platonic zukaang fic, since i really don’t like Zuko that much lol. he’s definitely not my fav, esp because of fandom, so it was a surprise to write this, and i’ll admit i was a tad worried i would write him ooc because of my own bias. but surprisingly enough, i’ve been told the way i portrayed Zuko in this fic is very very in-character for him and serves as exploration that most fandom would avoid, and the platonic zukaang was also something i never thought i would write but seemed to execute well haha. overall, i guess i’m proud of this fic because it’s a concept that’s out of my comfort zone that i think i’ve executed pretty well, haha
7.   Work I’m least proud of (and why): protecting you, which is a prequel to  where we're meant to be. i had a kind of hard time writing this, and if i look back on it now, it just seems... cheesy, almost? idk it’s just Aang whump so maybe i just feel it’s a little senseless lol.
8.   Share or describe a favorite review you received: i think my favorite review this year was actually from @chocomd and pertained to dreamless dreams! choco managed to understand all the underlying parallels i wrote into the fic and gushed how much she loved the way i wrote the platonic zukaang 🥺 before her review, almost no one was kudos’ing the fic, so i was wracked with so much doubt that i wrote it well, and with her review, it really helped ease my worries of oocness for Zuko & Aang.
9.   A time when writing was really, really hard: while i was in school as a STEM major lol. that should be self-explanatory.
10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: i already mentioned Zuko, but there’s actually two more characters i was surprised to write. one of them was Iroh from my Iroh & Lu Ten fic leaves let go (to fall from the vine). i never ever ever thought i would ever write Iroh, and he kind of intimidated me because he’s such a wise, complex character--there was no fathomable way i could write him well, or so i thought. i seemed to manage okay for this fic tho haha
the other character is Hakoda from my Hakoda Adopts Aang fic these sleepless nights we spend (waiting to come home). also a surprise because in canon, we don’t really see much of him on-screen, not to mention there’s a lack of interaction between him and Aang. again, never really thought i would ever write him, but here we are.
11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:
i have quite a few (and i’ve used them for other asks), so i’ll choose something a little different this time!
this excerpt is the ending section of going back, moving forward:
When Gyatso releases him and Aang finds himself at the doorstep of shadows, he only glances back one final time to see Gyatso nodding with approval, pride shining in his gray eyes.
(i will always wait for you)
When he finds himself walking down the dark hallway, he hears his friends, his family, all calling his name, all pleading with him to come back, come back, and he picks up the pace, rushing towards them.
(i'm coming, i'm coming)
When he sees the differently colored threads (green red navy cerulean) weaving their way towards him as the world falls away into darkness and shadows, he reaches for them, knowing that they're reaching out for him.
(i'm coming back for you)
When he wakes up in his friends' embrace, he lets himself melt into their love and worry and berating because they care, they care, and he almost can't believe he ever doubted it was the right thing to do.
(i'm here)
And when he grows and makes mistakes and matures and builds his own family and learns to live and laugh and love again, Aang finally understands what Gyatso meant all those years ago.
And it feels like coming home.
12. How did you grow as a writer this year: i definitely stepped out of my comfort zone a bit and wrote for characters i never thought i would write for haha. i’m also improving on describing scenery, especially as needed for my multichap lol
13. How do you hope to grow next year: to keep improving on describing scenery. i’m improving right now, but i still have ways to go. also to keep writing characters i never thought i’d write, step out of my comfort zone even more.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): @chocomd. we found out we have very similar tastes in the kind of stories we want to read & write, and so she’s been a huge encouragement, especially in a fandom where our specfic tastes aren’t exactly common. her comments especially on see the sky and sea (and remember me) and her eagerness to see its conclusion is really the only reason why i’m still writing this fic.
15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: not really? i mean i lost it all again (can you help me find it once more?) stems from my own feelings of assimilation and not knowing my own culture. other than that, there aren’t any i can think that are truly from my core self; every other fic is just my exploration of canon content or mirroring of things i never have personally experienced. all of my fics have some form of myself in them anyways tho, so
16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: don’t be afraid to experiment and break rules of syntax, so long as it makes sense for the themes of the fic. i find the fics i love reading/writing the most are the ones that experiment to reflect the themes of the fic, the state of the character’s mind, etc. (also you can use that as an excuse in case someone gets mad at you 😉)
17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: definitely hoping to finish see the sky and sea (and remember me) this new year, but with the way the climax is playing out and the limited time i have, it could take a while lol. depending on if i get that done, i’m also looking into my 5+1 Aang fic about loneliness, a Katara MCD fic, a Sokka-centric fic that deals with masculinity, and a 5+1 Zuko-centric fic that deals with Zuko beginning to understand the effects of imperialism on the little people.
18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: @itsmoonpeaches @thinkingisadangerouspastime @justoceanmyth @shameaboutthedilettantism @kataangisforlovers and anyone else!

aaa you guys are all so sweet to me!! >u< thank you for all the kind messages and comments and support, I’ve been having a rough week but you’ve all made it much easier and cheered me up <3
have a lil snippet from the longfic I’ve been working on as a treat ;)
He looked ridiculous, grimacing at himself in the mirror and wearing a jacket that absolutely did not fit his shoulders or arms. “At least I don’t have to wear a corset,” he grumbled, though it wasn’t much of a consolation. When Blue stepped into the hall once more Green quickly stood to attention, and he sighed as he met the knight’s eyes. “How do I look?” Green looked him over for a moment, then gave a thumbs up. “You can be honest, you know,” Blue huffed, tugging at his sleeves with a grimace. Green’s lips pressed together, but something like sympathy sparkled in his eyes. “Just, nod if it looks bad. Does it look bad? I feel ridiculous.” Green’s lips quirked up ever so slightly, and he deliberately shook his head. “Okay, now I know it looks bad. Thanks,” Blue groaned, though he felt his own smile forming. “Who knows, maybe I can convince this suitor to leave by looking like a fool.” Blue couldn’t be sure, but he thought he heard Green laugh softly behind him.

TDDUP 31
AN: Idk  who’s still active considering I haven’t uploaded this story in almost 2 years but hopefully someone will enjoy it! :)
Chapter 31
Under the Mistletoe
Natsu grinned to himself as he tacked the decoration just underneath the door frame to the bedroom. With its white berries, beautiful green leaves, and the red ribbon tied around the stems, he was sure it was going to bring a smile to Lucy’s face when she saw it. And if she somehow missed it, then he was more than happy to point it out to her since it meant stealing a kiss from her.
“Natsu? What’s that?” Lucy’s voice called out.
Turning around to face the girl, he gave her a grin. Grabbing her hand, he quickly pulled her close to him. 
“Look up,” he said, planting his hands on her hips.
Lucy glanced up, her eyes landing on the mistletoe that hung over them. Her lips curled into a small smile, her cheeks tinted pink having been caught off-guard. 
“Mistletoe? Where’d you get that?” she asked with a laugh.
“Borrowed it from Cana,” he answered, peering down at her with a toothy grin. “In her words, it was going to ‘get me laid.’ Figured I would test her theory out. So? Whatcha think?”
Lucy playfully rolled her eyes. “I think that we still have a lot more decorating to do before the others get here. But…” Leaning towards him, she pressed her lips against his in a chaste kiss. Pulling away, she smiled up at him. “It’d be breaking tradition if we didn’t kiss.”
Natsu watched as Lucy headed back to the living room to continue decorating for the Christmas party they were throwing. Lucy, wanting to be festive for the holiday, wore a skimpy Santa suit that Natsu couldn’t tear his eyes away from. Not only did it show a nice amount of cleavage, the dress was so short that it barely covered her bum. Another nice touch that spurred his desire was the white fluff that hemmed the edges, giving it a real Christmas vibe. She also wore white knee-high socks, which always brought his attention to her creamy legs. To top it all off, she wore a Santa hat. 
Natsu’s pants felt tight just looking at her.
Following her out into the living room, he wrapped his arms around her from behind. He could tell that she felt him hard against her from the way she jumped.
“Can’t we just take a lil’ break and do something else?” Natsu asked. He brushed Lucy’s hair out of the way and softly nuzzled the shell of her ear. Her body melted into his as he ran his hands up her sides and over her breasts. He was about to slip his hands underneath the cloth when she jumped away from him.
“No, Natsu,” she said, narrowing her eyes at him. Her face was flushed with heat as she continued, “We can do that later but for now, we have to finish decorating. They’ll be here soon.”
Natsu huffed, crossing his arms with a pout. “Why are we celebrating over here anyways? It’d be easier to just meet them there. They already have a bunch of decorations up.”
“I don’t want to intrude during the holidays.”
“What do you mean? You aren’t intruding. You’ve been there tons of times by now!”
“I’ve only been there a few times, for your information. And I just don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
“Who would feel uncomfortable with you coming?” Natsu asked, arching a brow.
“Well, Mira for one,” Lucy answered, her lips tugged into a small frown. 
Natsu immediately understood, rubbing the back of his head. “Look, don’t take it personally. Mira’s just… different. It doesn’t have to do with you. She can’t really handle bein’ around mortals much. That’s why she’s the only one who turns down her chances of going to the outside world.”
“I know it’s nothing personal,” Lucy replied. “But it doesn’t matter. I’m not offended or anything by it. It’s just that she deserves to feel comfortable in her own home on Christmas. I’m okay with just having you guys over. And I’m okay with you going over there to celebrate too.”
Natsu frowned, uncomfortable with the thought of leaving Lucy alone for even a minute on Christmas. He promised her months ago that he would spend the day with her, how could he just leave?
“You know I don’t hafta go,” he said. “The others can go back without me. I’ll stay here with you.”
Lucy smiled and shook her head. “Thank you, Natsu. I appreciate that you’d do that for me, but you should go back later with them. I’m not the only person who wants to spend Christmas with you, and I’m not going to be that girlfriend who keeps her boyfriend away from his friends. It’ll just be for a couple of hours, so you’re going. And when you get back, we can exchange presents.”
Before he could argue, she grabbed some more decorations from the box, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and went to hang  them up.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door. 
“Merry Christmas, Lucy!” the rest of the gang shouted the moment she opened the door. 
Lucy beamed at them. “Merry Christmas, you guys! Thanks for coming over!”
As everyone headed inside, Lucy noticed that she wasn’t the only one dressed for the holidays. Juvia adorned a beautiful blue dress covered in snowflakes and sparkles, a little tiara resting on her head. 
“Juvia is an ice princess,” the girl said when she noticed Lucy staring.
“You look beautiful, Juvia!” she replied. And it was true. The blue complimented her hair and fair skin perfectly. Her eyes moved over to Gray. He wore a top hat and some black jeans. As usual, he was without a shirt. “What’s up with the hat?”
“The guild always makes me dress as Frosty the Snowman on Christmas,” he replied, crossing his arms over his chest. 
“So you wore a hat? Or was there more of the costume that you stripped away?”
“There was more, but they’re long gone by now.”
Lucy nodded, moving her gaze over to Erza and Jellal. While they weren’t fully dressed up like Juvia and herself, they wore cute reindeer headbands. 
Levy, on the other hand, wore an adorable elf costume. It was red and green, which although contrasted her hair greatly, still managed to look amazing on her. Her leggings were striped in the same green and red, and her hat had a bell at the tip. 
“You look so cute, Levy-chan!” Lucy gushed, wrapping the petite girl in a hug. 
“You too, Lu-chan!” the girl replied. 
Gajeel pushed past the two girls, allowing Lucy to see his costume. He was dressed in a Santa costume, his hair spray-dyed white. A scowl was plastered to his face as he grumbled, “Damn Shrimp, makin’ me dress up like this.” 
As soon as he was out of earshot, Levy cupped her hand around her mouth and whispered to Lucy, “I didn’t make him dress up like that. He woke up hours before everyone else so that he could get ready.”
Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, trying to stifle her laughter. Just the thought of Gajeel happily getting ready to dress up as Santa Claus had her nearly hunched over in laughter.
“Your apartment is so festive, Lucy,” Erza’s voice called out to her. 
“Thanks!” she replied, her smile as bright as the lit-up Christmas tree she had Natsu put in the corner of the living room. Lights were strewn across the ceiling, decorations were tacked to the wall, and she even woke up early in the morning to bake Christmas cupcakes. To say she loved Christmas was an understatement. She hadn’t been able to really celebrate the holiday in a long time, so now she was going all out.
“Can we open presents already!?” Natsu asked, bouncing excitedly in his seat.
“We just got here, idiot,” Gray said, rolling his eyes. 
Erza chimed in, “I agree with Natsu. We should open presents now.” Even though she kept a straight face and was still in her seat unlike Natsu, the twinkle in her eye made it obvious she was looking forward to presents just as much as he was. 
“Presents it is then,” Lucy said with a laugh. Everyone sat in the living room, presents sitting in their laps. With how big their group was, they decided to do a secret Santa exchange to save money. “Who goes first?”
“I will!” Erza exclaimed, a bright grin settling over her face. “Whoever got me, step forward!”
Lucy stood from the couch. “That would be me!” Handing Erza the gift, she watched as the redhead tore away the wrapping paper in an instant, revealing a rectangular box. Lucy watched anxiously as Erza removed the tape from the box’s sides. She may not have known Erza long, but she thought she knew her well enough. Though the redhead tried to hide it, there was a girly side to her. 
Erza opened the box, pulling out a violet dress. It was made of silk and was long enough to reach the floor. The sides were slit to reveal her legs, giving it a sexier feel.
“This dress is gorgeous, Lucy!” Erza said in awe. She grabbed the tag, her eyes bugging out of her head as she read the label. “HK!? This must’ve cost a fortune!”
“It wasn’t too bad,” Lucy replied, waving her off. Though in truth, that dress alone cost most of her allowance. Still, it was worth it to see her friend smile. 
Erza stood from the couch, holding her arms out in front of her for a hug. Lucy winced, knowing how rough the redhead could be. Knowing it was rude to turn it down, Lucy went in for a hug, praying that she wouldn’t bruise from it. Sure enough, Erza smashed her head down on her chest in what only she would call a hug. 
“Thank you, Lucy!” Erza said.
“D-Don’t mention it,” she replied. She sat back down on the couch, her head dizzy.
“Her hugs hurt, huh?” Natsu whispered in her ear.
“So badly,” Lucy replied with a nod. She then watched as Erza handed Juvia a small box. The wrapping paper was crinkled, and looking closely, Lucy could see that there were some extra scraps taped on, probably because she ripped the bottom layer. 
Gently tearing the wrapping paper away, Juvia opened the box to find four slips of paper. Confused, she picked them up and read the words printed on them. Immediately, a bright smile graced her face. 
“Oh, thank you, Erza!” she exclaimed.
“Wait, what is it?” Levy asked, unable to see what they were from where she sat. 
Juvia held up the slips of paper. “They’re two train tickets to Crocus and to the Crocus Garden!” 
“No way!” Lucy shouted. “I heard that they have a rainbow sakura tree over there! I’ve always wanted to go!”
“Well, the extra ticket was meant for Gray, but I suppose you could bring Lucy instead,” Erza said with a shrug.
Lucy laughed at the panic that washed over Juvia’s face. “Don’t worry, Juvia. You don’t have to bring me. It sounds like a fun date for you and Gray!”
The blue-headed girl heaved a sigh of relief. 
Natsu nudged her lightly. 
“I didn’t know you wanted to go there,” he said.
Lucy smiled at him. “Yeah. I’ve never been to Crocus before. I would love to see the rainbow sakura tree someday.”
“Then I’ll take ya there!”
“The train ride is over six hours long. I don’t think you’d last, Natsu.”
The boy glared at her, crossing his arms with a huff. “If you wanna go there, then I don’t care how long the train ride is. We’re going!”
Lucy giggled at his pouty face, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Thank you, Natsu. I’m looking forward to it.”
Turning her attention back on Juvia, she watched the girl hand Gajeel his gift. It was kept in a tiny gift bag, small enough to make Lucy wonder what could possibly fit in it. Reaching inside, Gajeel pulled out what looked like a receipt. His eyes scanned the printed words before his eyes grew wide.
“No fucking way,” he said, whipping his head towards Juvia.
The girl nodded quickly, her smile wide. “Yep! Juvia bought you an electric guitar! Juvia left it back home though because it was too hard to wrap.”
Lucy’s jaw dropped on its hinges. An electric guitar? That blew the cost of the designer dress she bought Erza out of the water! How Juvia could afford to even buy it, she didn’t know. 
She watched as Gajeel- the boy who was usually a snarky hardass- turned into a weeping mess as he thanked Juvia and showed Levy the receipt. 
Lucy was surprised that Juvia would spend so much money for someone that wasn’t Gray, but after hearing from Natsu that the two were best friends since before even joining Fairy Tail, she couldn’t say she was too surprised. They must’ve known each other for decades- hell, depending on how old they were, maybe even centuries. He always stood up for her when people made fun of her for speaking in third person, and she was the one that dragged him from heading down a dark path and into Fairy Tail. Their friendship was strong, and Lucy admired that.
Lucy was brought from her thoughts when she heard Gajeel and Natsu arguing. Apparently Natsu was teasing Gajeel for crying. Before a fight could break out, Lucy and Levy forced their boyfriends to sit down by pulling on their ears.
Gajeel grumbled to himself before handing Jellal his present. 
Jellal’s brows rose. “You didn’t have to buy me a Christmas present. You just bought me a birthday present a few weeks ago.”
“Yeah, yeah. You say that every year. You should know by now that people are still gonna get you a Christmas present,” Gajeel replied, rolling his eyes.
Jellal smiled before ripping away the wrapping paper. Inside was a leatherback journal along with a calligraphy set. 
“I know Erza retrieved your old research journal from a museum or whatever, but I figured you could use a new one. And Shrimp here told me that you like to do calligraphy too.”
“I do. Thank you, Gajeel. It’s very thoughtful.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Lucy chuckled. “What a tsundere.”
Gajeel turned red in the face. “Shut up!”
Jellal grabbed a perfectly wrapped gift- much different than the gift his wife had wrapped- and handed it to Natsu. The pink-haired boy lit up like the Christmas tree, snatching it with a quick word of thanks before ripping into it like his life had depended on it. He uncovered a box full of different snacks, hot sauces from all over the world, and gift cards to fast food chains. 
“I truly did not know what else to get you besides food,” Jellal admitted. “After you caught the basement on fire with the pyrotechnics kit I bought you, I was prohibited from making that mistake again.”
Natsu grinned, grabbing a bag of chips and tearing into it. “Hey, this works for me!” Grabbing the wrapped gift at his ankle, he tossed it to Levy. “Oi, catch!”
Levy squealed, fumbling as she just barely caught the present. “I’m assuming this isn’t fragile.”
“Nope. But it did cost an arm and a leg to get it, so you better be glad!”
Levy perked a brow before opening the present. Inside the box was a stack of papers, stapled at the top. Her eyes scanned the words, confused as to what it could’ve been. 
“What is it?” she asked. It appeared to be a story, though there was no covering to it. 
“It’s a Heartfilia original!”
Levy’s eyes nearly burst out of their sockets. She whipped her head between Natsu and Lucy, the latter blushing. 
“Lu-chan wrote this?”
The blonde nodded. “It’s the very first story I’ve written. I started that way back during my first lifetime and I recently finished it. When I told Natsu about it, he said that he wanted to give it to you for Christmas. You’ll officially be my first reader, just like I promised!”
Levy burst into a fit of tears before tackling Natsu and Lucy to the ground. “I’ve been waiting for this day for forever! Thanks, you guys!”
Natsu laughed. “Don’t mention it!”
“And don’t show it to people either! It’s embarrassing!” Lucy added. 
Levy nodded, eager to read the story when Gajeel reminded her they were still in the process of Secret Santa. 
“Oh, right. Here you go, Gray!”
The boy thanked her as he accepted the gift. It was in a small gift bag. Reaching his hand in, he pulled out two slips of paper. 
“H-Holy shit!” he shouted. “These are concert tickets to see Lyra! They’re my favorite band!”
Natsu stood up, grabbing a ticket to see it himself. “No way! You gotta give me the extra ticket!”
“Why the hell would I wanna see a concert with you!?”
“Not like I wanna see one with you either, but I love Lyra too!”
“You can give the extra ticket to whoever you want,” Levy said with a shrug. Truthfully she wanted Secret Santa to end as quickly as possible so she could hurry up and read Lucy’s story. “Anyways, you’re next, Gray!”
   Gray handed Juvia the tickets for safekeeping- mainly to make sure Natsu didn’t steal one. He stood up and headed towards Lucy, the last person left in Secret Santa. 
“I got you, Lucy,” he said, his lips curled into a small smile.
She mirrored his expression, accepting the gift. She assumed he wasn’t good at wrapping since it was in a bag. When she reached inside the bag, she realized that he didn’t even use tissue paper to hide the present. 
Her fingers brushed against something smooth. Grabbing the object carefully, she pulled it out of the bag. It was a beautiful wooden box, its edges intricately carved. The top was painted a stunning starry landscape. She went to open the box, only to find a heart-shaped lock keeping it shut.
“The key is in the bag too,” Gray said, noticing her confusion.
She fished inside the gift bag for the key, inserting it into the lock and opening the box. The inside was lined with velvet, and the top had a small mirror glued to it. Lined pads were in the box, clueing Lucy into what the box was.
“It’s a jewelry box,” Gray said, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I made it myself.” Smiling over at his girlfriend, he added, “Juvia painted the top though.”
“Thank you, Gray!” Lucy exclaimed, jumping up from the couch and hugging the boy. “It’s beautiful! I can’t believe you made it yourself!”
“Don’t mention it. I figured it’d be better than leaving your locket in a tampon box. That’s what the lock is for. Now you can keep it somewhere clean and safe.”
Tears pricked Lucy’s eyes. He made it so that she can hide her locket? Throwing her arms around the boy, she thanked him again, all the while wondering how she managed to find such great friends. She also made sure to thank Juvia for the beautiful painting she did on the box. 
         As the group split up into pairs to gush over their presents, Lucy excused herself to go to the restroom. When she was finished, she was surprised to find Natsu waiting outside the door. 
  “What are you doing?” the girl asked. She had known him long enough to recognize that mischievous glint in his eyes. 
   Instead of replying, the boy simply pointed up. Following his finger, Lucy found mistletoe taped in the doorway of the bathroom, hanging above them. Natsu’s hand slid up her thigh below her skirt. 
   “Are you crazy?” Lucy whispered, peering over his shoulder to make sure nobody was coming. “Everyone is here right now! We could get caught!”
   “Good luck being quiet then,” Natsu replied with an evil grin. He slid his hand up to her rear, giving it a squeeze. Pushing her hair out of the way, he sank his lips over her neck. 
   Lucy gnawed on her lower lip in hopes of staying quiet. “You know, a mistletoe is just for a quick kiss on the lips, not this.”
   Natsu shrugged, continuing his exploration of her neck. His hands slowly grazed her curves until brushing against the side of her breasts. Before he could grab them, Lucy reluctantly pulled away from him with a glare. 
   “Not while our friends are here!” she said, smoothing out her dress. She lightly smacked his hand away when he tried to reach out to her again. Sticking her tongue out at him playfully, she scurried off to join the rest of their friends back in the living room. Natsu chuckled before following after her. 
   Eventually, the group cleaned up the apartment as it was time to head back to Fairy Tail for the next Christmas party. 
   “Are you sure you don’t wanna join us, Lucy?” Gray asked. 
   Lucy nodded, faking a yawn. “Yeah, I’m a bit tired now. But I’ll see you guys tomorrow!” The only person she told about the real reason she didn’t want to go to Fairy Tail was Natsu. She didn’t want the others to worry and try to reassure her. She was fine with them going to celebrate with the rest of the immortals. She was happy enough with the time she got to spend with them. 
   The group nodded, saying their last goodbyes before heading out the door. Natsu stayed behind. 
   “Are you really sure about this?” he asked. He still hated the thought of leaving her by herself on Christmas.
   Lucy smiled. “Yes, Natsu. I’m fine, I promise.”
   “We can just stay in my room the whole time if you’re that worried about Mira!”
   “No. I want you to be able to celebrate with everyone. And I’m sure they’re looking forward to celebrating with you too. I’m fine, Natsu. Now shoo.”
   Natsu sighed in defeat. “Alright, but I’m coming right back here later tonight, okay? And if you change your mind, let me know and I’ll come walk you to Fairy Tail. Or if you get lonely I can come here.”
   “Yeah, yeah, I understand. Now go. You’re already late enough as it is.”
   Natsu gave her a quick kiss. “I’ll see you later.” 
   Before he could change his mind, Lucy waved and quickly shut the door, locking it so he knew she was serious about wanting him to have fun with everyone else. Staring at her empty apartment, admittedly the girl did feel a pinch of loneliness. Regardless, this was the best Christmas she’d had since her first life, she could deal with a couple of hours on her own. Grabbing a cup of hot chocolate, she curled up in a thick blanket and turned on a Christmas movie. The loneliness she felt quickly faded away. 
   Natsu cheered with the rest of the immortals, clinking his glass of spiked eggnog with everyone else. They had just finished the annual Fairy Tail Secret Santa. For this Secret Santa, he was assigned Cana, who was by far one of the easiest people to shop for. Give the girl a bottle of booze and she’s indebted to you for life. 
   He had also gotten a gift from Juvia, who was his Secret Santa. It was a hoodie from his favorite band, along with their newest CD. He still had to give Lucy her gifts later, and was eager to see what she got him as well. This year was shaping up to be the best Christmas ever. 
   When the party died down and people started heading to their rooms, Natsu decided that it was time to head back to Lucy’s. He went to his room to grab the gift he kept stashed away so that she wouldn’t find it. 
   “You heading over to Lucy’s now?” Gray asked after entering their room. 
   “Yep. Just had to get her present first.”
   “So, what’s the real reason she didn’t want to come over here? She wasn’t really tired, right? Is she still feeling nervous around everyone?” 
   “Kinda,” Natsu answered, rubbing the back of his head. “Truthfully it’s just Mira.”
   Gray winced. “Oh. Yeah, that makes sense.” 
   Mira was a nice girl, one of the nicest he had ever known. Unfortunately, her past with the mortals was the most traumatizing story he had ever heard. It was one that everyone knew not to ever bring up, for they knew the girl was haunted by it everyday. Nobody could blame her for keeping her guard up around Lucy, nor could they blame her for being the only immortal to turn down a chance at seeing the outside world. 
   “Yeah. I told Lucy that it wasn’t personal and that Mira was a bit different than the rest of us, but she still decided to stay home. She didn’t want Mira feeling uncomfortable on Christmas.”
   Gray smiled. “Lucy’s a really nice girl, huh.”
   “Yep,” Natsu replied with a grin of his own. “Anyways, I’m out of here.” 
   With hurried steps, the boy rushed up the stairs of the basement and out the door. He made sure to lock the doors to the pub behind him since the immortals were free to roam the top floor on Christmas. 
   Excited to see Lucy and still feeling guilty for leaving her, Natsu wasted no time in unlocking the door and closing it behind him. What he saw when he turned around made his jaw drop to the floor. 
There in the living room stood Lucy, practically naked. She still adorned the Santa hat she wore earlier, but she had discarded the dress. Instead, she had a Christmas bow taped to the middle of her collarbone, the ends flowing and covering her nipples. She also wore red underwear with white trimming on the edges. 
   “Welcome back,” Lucy said, her hands behind her back. 
   “How long were you waiting there like that?” Natsu asked, nearly choking on his tongue while he ogled her. 
   “Not too long.” Lucy lifted her arm above her head, revealing a mistletoe in her hand. “Well? Are you going to join me?”
   Natsu nodded his head so fast it felt like it was going to fall off. He ripped off his pants and rushed towards her, nearly tripping in his haste. Grabbing her by the hips, he crashed his lips upon hers. 
   “I take it this is my Christmas present?” he asked with a grin, lightly tugging the end of the bow that was taped to her. 
   “Yep. Wanna unwrap me?” 
   Natsu’s hands eagerly ripped the bow off of her before carrying her to the bed. Dropping her on the bed, he quickly tore off his shirt. Lucy squirmed below him, anticipation filling her fingertips as she tugged on his boxers. Without wasting another second, he took them off along with hers. 
   “You are so hot, Lucy,” Natsu said as he pressed his face between her breasts. He always enjoyed the feeling of being between them. 
   “Oh yeah?” Lucy replied with a smile. His praise always managed to turn her on. 
   “Mhmm. I mean, you were practically naked when I got here.”
   “Because I’ve been looking forward to this all day. Now, are you going to get me off or am I going to have to do it myself?”
   Natsu grinned before grabbing her breast in one hand while nuzzling the other. He could feel Lucy moving below him, trying to guide his cock to her folds. In his haze, he remembered the last time they had sex. 
   “That’s right, I have to repay you for last time,” Natsu said.
   “Hmm?” Lucy absentmindedly hummed out, too focused on the work he was doing on her breasts. 
   Instead of using his words to explain, Natsu trailed kisses from her breasts down to her navel, then to her thighs. He left feather-light kisses over right thigh, hovering over her folds before moving to her left. He stifled a laugh as he could feel Lucy getting impatient every time he neared her folds. Unable to hold himself back for too long, he pressed his lips against her flesh, slowly sucking on her skin. 
   Lucy nearly screamed at the sudden pleasure that raked her body the moment Natsu’s lips touched her sensitive skin. Her breaths grew louder as his lips worked over her. When his tongue suddenly grazed her clitoris, she let out a harsh breath. 
   “Fuck,” she said, covering her mouth with one hand while the other gripped the sheets. 
   Natsu glanced up at her with a proud grin. Grabbing her wrist, he pinned it to her side. 
   “I wanna hear you,” he said before returning his lips to her flesh. His tongue circled around her entrance before delving into her. Since he stopped her from covering her mouth, she opted for grabbing his hair instead, finding that she had to do something with her hands. His mouth was driving her crazy. 
   “N-Natsu,” she breathed out. “I’m not going to last long at this rate.”
   “That’s fine,” he replied, his breath warm against her flesh. It sent a shiver down her spine. “I want to make you cum like this anyways.”
   Not bothering to wait for her reply, he dragged his tongue over her clitoris before giving it a hard kiss. Lucy screamed out in pleasure, thrusting her hips and grinding his face. Switching from kissing and licking, he knew that Lucy was about to break, judging from her quick breaths and the way her legs shook around his neck. In seconds, she shuddered against him, her grip tightening on his hair as she moaned out his name. 
   When it was clear she was done, Natsu laid beside her with a grin. 
   “Well? How was it?” he asked. Though, he could tell from her flushed cheeks that it was more than good.
   Lucy tried to regain her breath as she replied, “We’re definitely doing that again sometime.”
   “Sounds good to me.”
   “Well, it’s your turn now!” Lucy exclaimed, sitting up. She positioned herself between his legs, stroking his hot shaft. 
   Taking a quick peek at him, she found his eyes squeezed shut as he enjoyed himself. Not wanting to keep him waiting, Lucy dragged her tongue against his cock before shoving it in her mouth. She started slow, still not used to this yet. When she started to feel more comfortable, she pushed herself further, allowing his whole shaft into her mouth. 
   “Fuck, Lucy,” Natsu ground out. 
   Knowing that he enjoyed it, Lucy picked up the pace while still going as far as she could. Tears pricked her eyes, but she ignored it in favor of pleasuring him the way he did for her.  
   Natsu tried to control his breathing, but the way Lucy’s hot mouth tugged on his cock had him nearing sweet release. 
   “L-Lucy, I’m about to cum,” he warned. 
   The blonde only nodded. That only made the fire in Natsu burn hotter. 
   Lucy, feeling adventurous, decided she wanted to try something new. Something that she had read about in a mature book once. 
   Instead of shoving his cock as far as she could in her mouth, she went halfway down his shaft. Using her hand, she pumped the lower half while sucking the top. 
   In seconds, Lucy felt something hot shoot into her mouth as Natsu shook beneath her with a groan. She allowed him to ride out his orgasm before eventually withdrawing. Not knowing what to do with the liquid in her mouth, she quickly gulped it down. 
   Natsu winced. “Sorry, was it gross?”
   Lucy shook her head. “Not at all, no need to apologize. I wanted to do it.” 
   Natsu smiled. The two laid there in a content silence, their bodies tired. When they finally regained their energy, Lucy stood up from the bed and grabbed something from the closet. Turning around, she smiled while holding a neatly wrapped gift. 
   “You got me a gift?” Natsu asked, his voice laced with childlike excitement. 
   “Duh! You didn’t really think sex was your only gift, right?” Handing him the gift, she watched as he tore off the wrapping paper and quickly opened the box to reveal a painting of him and Igneel. 
   Natsu looked up at Lucy with watery eyes. “W-What… How did you do this?”
   “I commissioned an artist to paint it for me,” she answered. “I noticed that the picture you have of you and Igneel was old and a little torn, probably because of how much time had passed since it was printed. I didn’t want it to get ruined since it’s your only picture with Igneel, so I had someone recreate it. A canvas is more durable than a picture, so hopefully it’ll-!”
   Lucy’s words were cut short as Natsu pulled her in for a tight hug. She could feel the light tremors of his body. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around him and allowed him to cry onto her shoulder. 
   “Do you like it?” she asked. 
   Natsu pulled away, wiping his eyes before smiling at her. “I love it. Thanks, Lucy. Oh, I got you a gift too.” Grabbing his previously discarded sweater, he pulled out a long, velvet box from the pocket. “Sorry, I didn’t have time to wrap it. And it’s not as good as the gift you gave me…”
   Lucy lifted his chin to meet his gaze. “I’ll love it. Don’t worry. Can I see what it is?”
   Natsu nodded, handing her the box and watching as she opened it. Upon doing so, Lucy gasped, one of her hands flying up to her mouth. Inside the box was a beautiful necklace with dangling diamond charms of constellations. 
   “Natsu, it’s beautiful!” she exclaimed. She gave him a worried look. “This must have cost a fortune!”
   The boy shrugged with a laugh. “Don’t worry about that. My housing and tuition is free, so I have a good amount of money saved up. You like it?”
   Lucy nodded, wiping a tear from her eye. She had never received a Christmas gift from a boyfriend before, and his knocked it out of the park. 
   “Of course I do! It’s beautiful! Thank you so much, Natsu!” 
   “I’m sorry mine isn’t as sentimental as yours. I probably should’ve put more thought into it. I just know you really like stars, so I wanted to get you something related to that.”
   Lucy grabbed his hand with a smile. “Do you know why I love the stars?” After he shook his head, she continued, “It’s because of my first mother. We used to stargaze every night, and she taught me about a bunch of constellations, all of them being on this necklace. This necklace is plenty sentimental. Thank you, Natsu. I love it so much.”
   They hugged again. 
   “Merry Christmas, Lucy.”
   “Merry Christmas, Natsu.”

Okay listen. This started as a Skyward Sword (modern?) AU, with the other games thrown in sometimes for fun. It wasn’t really a Linked Universe AU.

Also, the AU is momentarily on hold while i deal with college but i should be able to kick it back into action by the end of the year
