sibling bonding activity
“I won’t judge you for liking your counterpart, Legend. I…”Four pauses, and Legend raises a brow at the smaller while they chew on their words. “I’m no hypocrite.”
“Ah?”
“My boyfriend. I’ve told you about him. Shadow? He is, in all technicality, my counterpart. He looks almost just like me, with minor differences—like you and Ravio. Except, I hope Ravio hasn’t tried to kill you or take over the kingdom.”
“He couldn’t do that if he really wanted to. Did…did Shadow—”
“Yeah.”
Legend blinks. “Fuck.”
Four breathes out a laugh. “Yeah.”
“You’re fucked up,”Legend decides with a snort. “You were into him trying to kill you? Seriously?”
“He was really funny when doing it, okay? How could I resist a dork who’s that bad at murder?”Four huffs. And if they thought that would convince Legend that they’re sane, they were mistaken.

Who wants some fun facts about our upcoming, multi-chapter LU fic, Shadowed!
It's a murder mystery/psychological horror
It will have an MCD tag (permanent? Temporary? Faked their death? Who knows! 😉)
Main POV will come from Wind and Shadow
This is technically a 'Link meets the Chain' fic (but which Link?)
Vidow is central to the plot
Wind being able to see Ghosts is central to the plot
There will be illustrations
Anything you'd like to add to this @not-freyja ?

WIP Game
tagged by @uniquevoidflowers, thank you Uni! (Starting a new chain cause that was getting long, lol). Name of the game is I tell everyone the names of my WIPs and y'all can ask me about them. Sounds fun!
Legend of Zelda / LU:
This Is An Adjuration: currently updating, original linkverse story with character designs from LU. Slow burn tragedy / platonic love story.
Winds of War: working title, most likely going to change. Wind's Adjuration Epilogue
Fractured: working title, probably going to change. The surviving Colors’ Adjuration Epilogue
[Redacted]'s Adjuration Epilogue, yet unnamed
[Other Redacted]'s Adjuration Epilogue, still no name
[Another redacted Link]'s Adjuration Epilogue, it'll get a name when I nail down the vibes
Emerald: Backstory Ravioli oneshot, unrelated to Adjuration technically, but set in that verse. Like, the context for this art right here.
Vidow oneshots. Like 4 or five of them.
Game Over. Continue? : a choose your own adventure LU Dungeon crawl.
Like three Ravioli PWPs that I might be convinced to post under my handle instead of anonymous author
Star Trek:
The Actual Wrath of Khan: second to last installment in the Doubt the Stars 'verse. Co-written with @straight-outta-hobbiton, and will update when we make our brains sync again. So... *shrugs*
The Oracular Refrain: timeloop ST 2009 fix-it fic.
Call Me When you Get There: also co-written with Hobbit. It's getting a full re-write at some point, maybe by myself if friend doesn't want to go back to it.
Original Fiction:
The Prisoners of Terra
Lost En Route
What's Up with Arleta?
That... is a lot more than I thought it was going to be. Huh. Neat! Okay, now I tag.... (with no pressure!)
@straight-outta-hobbiton @needfantasticstories @hotcheetohatredwastaken @life-in-winter @mika-13 @unexpectedstormy @kisnroses and literally anyone who sees this and wants to play!

20 questions for fic writers
(Ty @the-real-azalea-scroggs for the tag!! I know it took me a couple days lol)
1 - How many works do you have on A03?
11, apparently. That's remarkable!
2 - What's your total A03 word count?
57858. Which is pretty decent, nothing to write home about for me, but I'm cool with it.
3 - What fandoms do you write for?
Four Swords Manga (beloved) and LU, which is a subset of Legend of Zelda in the Links Meet area of things
4 - What are your top five fics by kudos?
A) Thoughts Like These
B) Piece It All Together
C) Beneath the Skin
D) Where We Are
E) Dancing With My Own Shadow
5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Oh yes, all the time, thoroughly as I can, even though sometimes it might take me a few days. I enjoy comments! Just ADHD brain sometimes!
6 - What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Uh. So far it is the first chapter of Chasing Drabbles, which rather well implies the destruction of a town via natural disaster with no way of avoiding it.
7 - What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Thoughts Like These, maybe? Dancing With My Own Shadow has a fun ending,
8 - Do you get hate on fics?
I don't think so? Not that I know of? I've gotten a couple annoying comments about updating that I've had to delete, but never hate proper.
9 - Do you write smut?
No.
10 - Do you write crossovers?
Not really? I have one crossover with ideas but never a character crossover and really not usually setting crossovers either. I'm not too into the idea.
11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope.
12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?
In a technical sense? Yeah, I suppose, although I am the primary writer and Ruby is the artist more than anything, so like. It os
14 - What's your all-time favorite ship?
Vidow. I have no regrets and I stand by it forever.
15 - What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Uh. I think some vague continuations for Dancing With My Own Shadow will probably be left by the wayside, though the work itself is finished. I had some plans, still have them, but no official prospects for another part.
16 - What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue, building massive worlds that never leave my head, all kinds of joyful things that are wonderful for planning and not for completing bodies of work but that's what sprinting is for right? I'm also good at that, writing under lots of pressure for a deadline via the sprint bot, woo!
17 - What are your writing weaknesses?
Probably the description as it relates to scene setting and avoiding white room syndrome. I'm so guilty of this.
18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I think it can work, provided it's not just thrown around! I haven't done it that I can recall, but it's sometimes useful and can be a fun little thing to have in.
19 - First fandom you wrote for?
Four Swords! Zelda! LU! All of the above! Ahhhhhhh!!
20 - Favorite fic you've ever written?
Uh, I suppose I like Beneath the Skin the most? I don't think I really have a favorite fic. I'm not much of a fic writer!
Other folks to tag... Oh, I don't know. I'll do that later.
#linkeduniverse#linked universe#my writing#Is anybody listening?#You heard? No.#ask game#Thanks Aza!!#Four Swords#Beneath the Skin#A hero's place is in the wild#Guardian Wars#[OUR] writing

Throws favorite ice cream flavor
vidow for Valentines day
Runs away
Ask and ye shall receive! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Shadow squinted as he adjusted the lens of his camera, making sure Vio was in focus before hitting the capture button with a resounding click. Technically, he was supposed to be out here photographing the native flowers for an article in the school newspaper that Vio was running, but he had gotten distracted very quickly.
It wasn't really fair, asking Shadow not to look at Vio was like asking a bee not to land on a flower. Vio was intoxicating, always pulling him close with soft smiles and sharp eyes. So it was no wonder that Shadow had stopped taking pictures of flowers hours ago and now was just taking pictures of Vio.
He'd gotten some really good pictures, Vio standing on a hill with the sun at his back, his boyfriend's face in sharp profile next to a flower, and Vio caught doubled over mid laugh. That last one was Shadow's favorite, seeing Vio smile always made him happy.
"Shadow?" Vio asked. "How many pictures have you gotten so far?"
"Uhh...." Shadow trailed off, scrambling for a believable lie.
Vio's eyes narrowed as he stalked forward, reaching out for Shadow's camera.
"Let me see your camera,"
"Uh," Shadow said. "Why?"
Before he could protest, Vio had reached over and hit the button to display the last picture. Shadow cringed as he watched Vio's eyes widen at the shot he had just taken Vio with his face half lit by the sunset.
"Shadow..." Vio breathed out. "Shadow this is amazing! The composition! The lighting! You need to show this to Mr. L! It's beautiful!"
"You're beautiful" Shadow said before he could stop himself.
Vio turned to him and it was in that moment that the real reason Shadow had been taking that picture hit Vio square in the face.
"Sorry for getting off track-mph!"
Shadow was cut off as Vio kissed him, and for the first time that day, he didn't mind not looking at Vio. The kiss was so much better.

I gatekeep my AUs probably too much and surely i'm allowed to be a little cringe on my art blog, right? ^^;;
I noticed a few people in the tags saying they wanted to know more about this Four Swords AU I doodle a lot so why not share some crumbs in the form of my designs and some relationship dynamics.
I've had this AU since 2012 but honestly it was a just a roleplay thing back then and I barely remember the context besides "The five Links separated and these are their descendants hundreds of years later", which is still the basic premise.
Maybe when I'm feeling braver I'll share a little bit more but for now all I'm going to say is that Shadow and Vio are big advocates of being gay doing crime(maybe a little bit of treason too) and cause so many problems for everyone here!
Also some more recent sketchbook doodles of this AU under the cut!

thinking about four bringing out the best in shadow and shadow bringing out the worst in four. thinking about four and shadow having hushed conversations when four is on watch for the night, talking about anything and everything just to hear each other's voices. thinking about four and shadow.

V10l37
Soo I never posted it here cuz im dumb hahaaaa but heres the first chapter of actual robot vidow au :3
Read on ao3
ch1: here :D
ch2
Up upon the wall in a large lab room a humanoid figure dangled. Eerily still. Their blonde artificial hair sat braided down half way down their back. It looked realistic to the naked eye, felt soft like it to the touch. The dramatic lighting in the room followed the wires everywhere around them. The walls were a dark gray metal of some kind, welded together, a plaque by the only door saying “Technical Testing room 34: subject #4” implying other rooms and subjects.
Their eyes were piercing ice blue optics; nearly identical to that of a living being. Aside from the small lines of electronics and wires inside of them. So tiny it would take the perfect lighting to see them behind the iris. Artificial blinking not yet active, those eyes stared at one space.
No input being received as of yet. They were plugged into multiple wires everywhere on the metallic body. Wires coming from above and below connected to them. Slowly as power surged through the wires on the bottom a coating formed around the metallic surface of the humanoid.
In smooth motion, what appeared to be skin formed over on them. All across the surface. Perfect, unblemished and fake. Across the room a technician in a white lab coat snorted.
“Fuckin’ looks like a magical girl transformation.”
His coworker laughed along with him. None of them noticed as the android, now perfectly indifferent to a Hylian, blinked and looked up over at the group. They had returned back to position before they had a chance to look up.
The wires on the ceiling disconnected, dropping the body to the floor loudly. They landed on their knees, in a kneeling position. Head weighed down without support.
“Well? What are ya waitin’ for? Turn it on!” the same man spoke. His voice was deep and gruff. One of the others in a blue colored coat went to a table displaying an array of glowing buttons, knobs, and sliders. She pressed a few things on the affectionately nicknamed “DJ board” control unit.
The androids eyes lit up from the back, circling around once. A soft hum of electronics and fans filled the silence of a room held with baited breath.
It looked up at them. “...” They looked back.
“It appears my systems are functioning at normal capacity.” A soft deep voice came from the machine. It’s lips and fake tongue mouthing the words. A technological breakthrough in voice box mechanics. “Artificial form code confirmation: V, one, zero, L, three, seven.” They spoke with clear diction, dead panned emotion.
“C-confirmed.” the girl in the blue robe stammered out from the stunned silence. “We did it!” she looked at the man in the white coat. She grabbed his arms and started shaking him back and forth violently. “WE DID IT!” The ear splitting grin crossed their faces and they looked back at the AI.
They tilted their head curiously at them. The pair ran over to the android and began running physical diagnoses on them.
This was only the beginning
One year later
A boy with stark purple hair in a black lab coat walked around the large lab facility. His arms bent and hands behind his head like he had no care in the world. He was in front of a small entourage. The man from the lab, with the white coat, a different assistant, and the android behind him.
“I don’t care what you’re doing Daphnes.” The purple one announced, clearly annoyed. “I am not interested in this stupid machine of yours. All the others failed, why wouldn’t this one?” the android’s eyes followed his every movement. Almost creepily.
“Shadow! You will treat your father with respect!” Daphnes scolded. “You cannot keep expecting to get away with things just because you understand a neural net processor.” He sighed, sounding old and tired. This was obviously a conversation they have had often.
“Yeah okay.” he dismissed. Shadow turned to face the group, looking the AI up and down warily. Shadow had many piercings in his face. Alongside adorable freckles to try to look tougher. Two eyebrow piercings on his right, snake bite rings on his lower lips, a small septum ring in his nose, a bar between his eyes on his cartilage, and an array all across his large long ears.
The android took a slight misstep analyzing his face. He had heterochromatic eyes. One a brilliant ruby red and the other the deepest blue they’d ever seen. Not that they had really seen a lot of things yet, but it still stands.
They hadn’t noticed that of course.
“Look, I just want you on this project. You would be best suited for the small details required for maintenance and upgrades.”
“I don’t see how any of this wou-” he was interrupted by a panicked scream above them. The android was already moving. It all happened so fast Shadow basically passed out for a minute. A large ground shaking thud surrounded landed in front of them.
Exactly where Shadow had been standing.
“Oh my Gods!!!” The assistant yelled and stepped back, in human reaction time. Shadow gasped softly and stiffened. Unsure what had just happened. He was being enveloped by arms. He looked up to see the android with a concerned expression, eyebrows furrowed. That in of itself confused the hell out of him.
“Are. Are you alright?” they spoke, focusing only on him. The two technicians stood gaping at them. None of their actions should have been physically possible. Not a single program in their systems should be allowing any of the motions. From grabbing Shadow out of the way of the large hunk of metal with broken chain straps, to asking personally if he was okay. That wasn’t in their designated dialogue.
He just stared, the beautiful orbs wrapped in a thick black eyeliner. Shock, and disbelief. “Whuh- we- I….” the arms wrapped around his frame were a bit cold to the touch. “Yes.”
They let go and Shadow took a moment to step back away. Looking between Daphnes and the AI, he let out a breath. “I… I’ll work on it. I guess.” he looked away. “What’s it’s name anyways?”
“I am V, one, zero, L, three, seven.” they answered for the technician.
“Wow. That’s long and artificially cold.” Shadow bluntly stated. He wrote something down on a small notepad from his pocket “Wait…. Huh! Oh it kind of looks like… Violet. I’m gonna call it Violet.”
“Son- that's not--”
“Professional attachment blah blah blah. Do you want me or not?” he didn’t wait for the confirmation before taking Violet’s hand in his own. “Come on then. Let’s get out of here before more flying death metal bricks decide to fall from the sky.”
“I do not believe that the metal had any intention of-” they let Shadow pull them in the direction of his lab room. “Falling from the chains. Nevertheless I agree it is a good idea to vacate the area should another incident occur before-” Shadow looked at him confused and fondly at the rambling. “The correct items are inspected for faults.” they finished. “I-” they stopped and shook their head. “It would be unfortunate if anyone got hurt.”
Daphnes stood mouth gaping at the conversation. A literally impossible conversation.
“Boy you sure talk a lot huh?” Shadow laughed once.
“Oh. No. Not usually. I mean this is quite new. I am not entirely sure what is actually happening right now. As a matter of fact I really don’t think this is part of my programming. I cannot seem to locate an error in my systems however.”
“Mmmmmmhm.” Shadow led them to his personal lab. He let them in.
“Oh. You really should not have drinks by your electronics it could-”
“Spill and ruin yeah yeah I know.” he cut them off. “I don’t need a lecture from a tin can.”
“T-Tin can!?” they sounded offended. They sounded. In a tone.
“...” Shadow looked at them with a new sparkle in his eyes. “I think maybe this will work out after all. Sit down, Violet .”

Honestly, I could rant about a lot of things. mainly things about how other people headcanon the chain. Lots of over saturation of certain interactions of characters to the point where it’s become a trope everyone knows and expects (Wild and Twilight, Warriors and Mask, Warriors and Legend, etc.), shipping of the different boys with people from their games that don’t make sense to me (doesn’t Raviolink and Vidow technically count as linkcest? how did that get past the radar?) and the grand-standing about the Chain’s sexualities and genders, which I don’t understand in some cases either (polyamorous Time especially urks me). And the Four debacle also shows a nasty side of the fandom I didn’t expect. I could go on and on and on, but I think I’m just gonna keep it as this. Don’t want to flood your inbox too much. But that’s my problem with the fandom and my confession. Thanks for listening.
if i had a nickel for every time someone used the word grandstanding in reference to people talking about the chain's sexualities i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
#confession#response#i think a lot of you guys would die when in worse fandoms#i swear to god this place is a haven#not usually up to responding to anons because i feel like if i do theyre going to send me a death threat upon seeing them#but whatever. go on anon. tell us why polyamorous time irks you#continue#we're allllll listening
