100 years later I finally drew all of my AU Links
Say hello to my lads! They're going to be in a comic I've been scripting and planning for about a year now I think? I'm calling it Link and the Links, latl for short!
More info under the cut :]
(please don't tag as LU/Linked Universe!!)
The Plot
The Links find themselves in a mysterious forest that seems somewhat familiar to all of them yet none of them know where they are. Now they have to work together to find their way home. On the way they'll discover a thing or two about each other and grow closer!
The Cast
I could talk about these guys for hours, but to keep it digestible I'll make it short
A bit of info before I get into it - all of them are taken from different points in time after the end of their adventure(s)!
Birdie (Skyward Sword)
18
Roughly 6 hours after defeating Demise
The start of it all. Unbeknownst to himself and the others, the space they find themselves in was created out of his desire to meet the heroes after him. He feels terribly guilty about the curse and very much blames himself for the possible suffering of future heroes. His main goal is to check up on everyone and help where he can!
Grasshopper (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)
10
4 days after leaving Termina
Somewhat disoriented after his journey still, he tags along simply because he thinks Birdie is an idiot who would get lost without him. He doesn't talk a whole lot but he likes listening to other people's stories
Seagull (Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass)
13
6 months after leaving the domain for the ocean King
He's a real genuine pirate, yarr!! Or so he'd like you to believe. He talks a great deal about his strength and bravery, but really is just afraid and terribly homesick most of the time. He wants to fit in with Tetra's and her crew's toughness so much he might go a little overboard on the act in a way that may or may not end up biting him in the butt.
Choo (Spirit Tracks)
14
6 months after peace returned to new Hyrule
He wouldn't call himself a hero, in fact he'd say it's a miracle he made it out alive. Self-esteem and confidence really aren't his strong suits, he often finds himself dragged along and unable to say no. He is very friendly however, and if you just give him a little space he might even open up to you.
Wolfie (Twilight Princess)
21
4 years after defeating Ganondorf
Left Ordon after intrusive thoughts convinced him he was a danger to his village, now works at Telma's bar as a waiter in exchange for a room. He's responsible well liked, though he's not too fond of himself. He has some complicated feelings about the whole turning into a wolf thing
Apple (A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Link's Awakening)
20
Just a few seconds after Koholint disappeared
From one dream right into the next (sorta?) he's understandably disoriented at first. He pushes that aside pretty much immediately though, much more interested in getting to know everyone. He's a kind and soft spoken, weirdly wise sort of guy and near instantly becomes the heart of the team
Wallflower (A Link Between Worlds)
19
4 years after wishing upon the triforce with Zelda
Bitter doesn't even begin to describe this uh.. Pleasant fella. After being bossed around for the better part of his life he doesn't take orders from anybody and is this close to quitting his job as a blacksmith. He hates being stuck here, he hates these strange people, really there's not much he doesn't hate. But that can't be all there is to him...
Puzzle (The Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link)
18
1,5 years after waking Zelda II
Confused, disoriented, but still happy to help and ready for adventure. Though some of the others don't really like him around he's still just as friendly to everyone. Since he struggles to communicate he tends to stay quiet. He appears to be simple minded on first glance, but he'll prove to be a valuable member of the team.
Sprout (Minish Cap)
23
13 years after defeating Vaati
After his grandfather died he retreated into his house and dedicated himself to improving his blacksmithing skills to live up to his grandfather's name, he was quickly forgotten by his community and faded into obscurity. Now he may be the best blacksmith in Hyrule, so good that even the royal guard hires him, but among the general castletown population he's nothing more than a forest cryptid. He only leaves the house when he has to, carefully avoiding people. Not because they disgust him, he just has a major case of social anxiety!
Squire (Breath of the Wild)
14
3 years pre calamity
This absolute rascal couldn't be happier about his current circumstances. These unknown woods are his playground and all of these weirdos are his friends now! Though everyone's pretty sure he's a knight trainee, he insists that he's just a stable hand for the guard. His chaotic and carefree nature surprisingly doesn't get in the way of things as he's eager to help out wherever he can, seeing the whole journey as an impromptu camping trip.
Some funfacts :]
Most of them are neurodivergent in some way!
Birdie and Seagull have ADHD, Grasshopper and Choo are autistic, Squire gets the combo platter AuDHD and Wolfie has OCD
Additionally, Birdie has auditory processing disorder and dyscalculia, and Squire has dyslexia
A few of them also have speech disorders
Choo stutters and Puzzle has cluttering speech disorder
Apple has a weak voice, so after a while his voice gets tired and gets hoarse
Choo enjoys drawings and cartography, two skills that will be very important!
One of Seagull's hobbies is photography! He takes his pictobox everywhere
Wolfie also does entertainment at the bar from time to time! He sings or does card tricks
Sprout knows HSL (hylian sign language) because his grandfather was deaf
Seagull's piratey way of talking is 100% for show and painfully inconsistent
Wolfie speaks in a thick southern (in universe ordonian) accent but he's trying hard to mask it since he moved to castletown
Wallflower absolutely hates Puzzle
Squire's special interest is horses
Birdie is a bit of a doormat so he has the ideas but Wolfie is the one to actually get them through
A number of them are blood related (has nothing to do with the colours of their names in this post, I had to reuse some because there weren't enough orz)
That's all I have for you today! Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! :]
If any of you have any questions about my Links or AU you'd like answered, my inbox is open!
Have a lovely day everyone!

Oh, Sweet Child of Mine (Pt. 15 END)
Platonic Yandere Whitebeard Crew (Ft. Others) & Reader Insert
Main|First|Previous
Warnings: Yandere behavior. Mild spoilers for Gear 6 iykyk. If yandere content makes you uncomfortable, please do block the tag 'oh sweet child of mine' as well as any variation of 'one piece yandere' that you feel is necessary.
Aside from AU romance endings with characters per request, this is the end! Marco and Luffy confirmed, btw. Now, I'm going to be playing Tears of the Kingdom so my responses will be slow lol
But thanks everyone for being here and enjoying this fic until now, expect it to be on AO3 soon!
Word Count: 2,043
It was a minor miracle that Ace’s little ship made it through the blast that rocked Banaro island. Likely because it was made to handle Ace’s normal fire-shenanigans. It didn’t exactly have room for three on it, but that’s only if you’re of the opinion that people need personal space. Something that, as someone who has been thoroughly grounded, you apparently didn’t need. Marco held you to his chest as he sat in front of the ‘bucket’ where Ace fueled the engine with his fire. You suspect that he was using his phoenix legs to hold into the sides but couldn’t confirm with your poor eyesight.
If he wasn’t partially transformed to hold you both in place it was impressive considering the breakneck speed Ace pushed the Striker at.
You drifted off several times only to find that you three were still traveling. It was only when you woke up starving that you saw Ace lean Striker towards a landmass.
“We’ve made really good time. This island has an optometrist so we can get you new glasses.” Marco spoke into your ear softly despite the wind whipping by you. Not feeling like fighting to be heard, you nodded your head.
Ace expertly pulled the boat up to the docks, tying it off and offering his hand for Marco and yourself. After well over a day at sea, you were a bit shaky but pleased to find you didn’t trip. The docks blurred into what you assumed to be a marketplace, both Marco and Ace finding a reason to keep a hand on you as they guided your path into a shop.
You were utterly relieved when you were handed a new pair of glasses after a few tests. The thick lenses shifting the impressionist blurs into sharp contrasting shapes once again.
Marco gave Ace a sly look.
“You know, I thought I saw the Thousand Sunny on the other side of the docks.” Marco mused, watching Ace’s face abruptly light up.
“We should go see them!” Ace looked at Marco in excitement. When he nodded in acceptance, Ace grabbed your hand and pulled you along eagerly. “You’ll finally get to meet my little brother properly! Lu’s got a great crew you know—his chef is top notch, I’m sure he won’t mind making us something to eat!”
You laughed, using your free hand to make sure your glasses didn’t bounce off your face so soon after getting them.
“Do you even know if they’re on board?!” You asked as Ace tore through the town in his rush.
“Eh, it’s fine! Luffy won’t mind if I drop by!” Ace proclaimed. You looked behind you to find Marco gone. Hopefully he decided to just fly there rather than fight to keep up through the crowds.
The Thousand Sunny was a pretty big ship with a cute lion’s head on the mast with a pointy mane like the sun. The gangplank was out so Ace just steamed up it with you in tow.
“LUFFY!” Ace screamed out, whipping his head around as Marco landed on deck with an indulgent smile. There was a crash somewhere below and thudding steps.
“ACE!” Straw Hat slammed open the door with a wide, excited grin.
“Stop BREAKING SHIT, LUFFY!” A woman screamed from below, quickly following her captain. Straw Hat wasn’t listening as he launched himself at Ace, arms stretching out and wrapping around his brother as he laughed. Ace gripped his brother’s red vest, swaying the two of them in loose circles.
“Did ya get ‘em? Did ya?!” Straw Hat asked childishly as a young woman with orange hair emerged from below, panting for breath from running.
“Sure did, Lu! See, I—We—Even rescued our crewmate.” You raised your hand and smiled.
“Sup.” Straw Hat’s eyes were wide as he finally noticed you were there.
“Eh?!? What happened to you?!” Straw Hat asked, arm stretching out to drag you in close. While you looked way better than before, you were still wrapped with bandages to keep your healing wounds from getting irritated from the high speeds of the Striker. Marco had been strangely dragging out the healing process—or possibly you were just that exhausted that your fruit didn’t properly share the powers just yet.
Straw Hat’s fruit still thrummed against your skin. A calling of the drums that resonated in your chest with that snappy, elastic taste that made you want to smile.
“Well, I got launched out of a sudden volcano and then hitched a ride in Mao’s mouth.” You explained, tolerating the gentle manhandling as Luffy squeezed you into the hug with Ace.
“Mao?” The young lady asked.
“Yeah. Mao. They might be here, actually. Baby~!” You called out shamelessly.
There was a deep, resonating call from the sea as Mao rose up. You squirmed free and ran to the side of the ship.
“Mmmmaaaoooo~! Maaooo~!” Mao called out, leaning down for gentle pets.
“Baby! Pretty baby, lookachu! Ahah~!” You laughed, stroking their nose as Straw Hat laughed behind you.
“Cool! Ace! You didn’t tell me they were friends with a sea king!” Straw Hat ran up and reached out his hand.
“L-Luffy!? Don’t get close to it! You don’t know if it’ll eat you! Can somebody talk sense into him!?”
You grabbed Straw Hat’s hand and gently placed it under Mao’s jaw.
“Mao’s a baby still, so their scales aren’t completely hardened yet. A little scratching right here feels nice cause that’s usually where they start shedding.” You explained softly, Straw Hat absolutely enraptured with a wide, beaming grin. He looked back at his brother.
“This is a baby?!” Ace shrugged his shoulders helplessly and you grinned.
“Yep! Sea Kings grow a lot before they reach maturity. It’s when they grow whiskers that you know they’re fully grown!” You declared.
“Wow! How do you know that?!” You chuckled, pushing up your glasses.
“My home island was near a sea king nest!” You laughed, “But they didn’t tend to go near the island, so we just knew by proxy.”
“I heard we had guests?” A blond man ducked his head out, catching sight of Ace before sighing. “I’ll fire up the stove. Two Ds… sheesh.”
“Join my crew!” Straw Hat asked with starry eyes. You saw Marco and Ace stiffen with Ace looking conflicted. You couldn’t help but laugh and smile wryly.
“No can do. I’m grounded. Sides, you guys aren’t ready for the Grand Line yet.” You tipped your head to the side, expanding your still sore senses. “You have two other devil fruit users that are pretty strong but it only gets harder from here on out. I can’t be a crutch.” You sighed.
Straw Hat pouted.
“What do you mean?” You looked at him with a bit of an indulgent smile. You get why Straw Hat was viewed as a rising star in piracy. But charisma would only get him so far.
“My devil fruit can influence other devil fruits. Make them stronger—or as I realized recently—negate them completely. You… tell you what, ask me again when you find the drums.” You poked his chest teasingly. Everyone looked confused. “…What is your devil fruit power?”
“I’m a rubber man!” Straw Hat declared.
You gave a soft, mysterious smile, finally giving into the impulse to ruffle his hair through his hat.
“Are you sure about that? Find the drums, Straw Hat, and then maybe I’ll join you.” You said. If he managed to find the limits of his devil fruit all on his own, he would probably not suffer the same hubris as your previous ‘partners’. Ace and Marco hadn’t despite being in close contact with you, after all.
Straw Hat huffed, face twisting with determination.
“Fine! I’ll find those drums, wherever they are, and then you’ll join my crew!”
Marco looked like he ate a lemon with Ace not much better, though oddly a little touched in spite of himself. Like he was proud but not sure of what.
--*--
The Moby Dick came into view rapidly with Ace whooping in joy, firing off sparks to let the crew know of your approach. There was, even over the wind, cheers as Ace pulled up close to the ship.
Ace swept you up into his arms and leapt up, planting his feet firmly on the railing as Marco sighed and followed suit. You laid in his arms awkwardly, thinking that this time was hardly any better than your first time on board.
Whitebeard laughed, grinning as Ace skipped over.
“We’re back, Oyaji!”
“Welcome home, my children.” You sighed, not surprised in the least as Ace sat on Whitebeard’s knee.
Whitebeard looked at you, taking in the mostly superfluous bandages.
“Surprisingly, it’s good to be back.” You grumbled without any heat.
Did it still weird you out? Absolutely. You don’t get what any of them saw in you that inspired such ferocity as to track you down across the Grand Line to get you back.
Whitebeard’s smile softened.
“I’m glad you all returned safely.” He murmured as someone stomped up to the main deck.
“You’re back!” Thatch cried out joyously, his usual chef ensemble swapped for loose pants and a shirt. Clearly, he was still on light duty as the nurses nearby scolded him for running. You elbowed Ace to let go and hopped down to the floor, aware that everyone was watching as you approached the suddenly nervous chef.
He glanced around for a hint of what was going on as you walked up to him. Then while he was still stiff with nerves, you wrapped your arms around his chest, gently patting his back.
“I’m glad you’re alright, Thatch.” You mumbled into his shirt. There was a high pitched cry as his arms locked around you, spinning you in circles.
“AH! AHHHH?! You did it! You used my name~!” Thatch cried out as several nurses protested to the vigorous movement, though on who’s behalf you weren’t sure.
You grinned.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Twin-Blade.” You said dryly, loud enough to be heard by everyone while hiding your smile. The effect was instant. His arms twitching as he nearly fell to his knees in mock-despair.
“Noooooo! My name! Use my name, damnit!”
You laughed, patting his back consolingly.
“Sure thing, Twin-Blade.”
“No!” Thatch barked, as the crew laughed at his plight.
While not what you imagined, life as a pirate wasn’t so bad if it meant feeling like this.
You considered your now bare wrist, no supportive cloth there to remind you of your past. What you hoped for in your future. Not quite freedom symbolized in marine-standard blue but consistency and a promise to support people. Nor a chain to remind you of your literal, more understandable imprisonment. You were free to put whatever you wanted there once they decided you didn’t need the bandages anymore.
And then? Well, it was a pretty good place for a tattoo… whenever you’re not grounded anymore and can slip away to get it done.
“…Hey, what does being grounded even look like?” You asked Thatch, Marco and Ace having avoided the subject. You assumed it was because they didn’t know either.
Thatch paused, looking over at his brothers and Whitebeard.
“…Nooooo mooooorrreeee… avoiding… parties?” Thatch guessed, receiving cheerful agreements all around. You couldn’t help but snort.
“You know, usually groundings means less of those.” You pointed out but Thatch nodded resolutely.
“Eating every meal!” Thatch added.
“I already did that?”
“More training!” Someone suggested.
“Okay, that makes sense but—”
“Hanging out with Oyaji!”
“Hey now! Don’t get ahead of yourself!” You barked, feeling ganged up on as more suggestions were added, Whitebeard doing nothing but adding to the chaos.
“Given names only.” He nodded and you sputtered.
“I’m not calling you Edward!” You huffed, craning your neck to glare back at him. He paused before smiling.
“That’s alright. Oyaji or Pops is fine with me.” You groaned, burying your face into Thatch chest as you fought the urge to laugh.
“Hey, you have to follow the rules. You’re still grounded.” Thatch teased.
“Does that mean I can stop when I’m not grounded?” You needled. Thatch letting out a bark of laughter.
“Hah! No.”
Why did you decide to stay again?

HOOOO BOY LETS GO—
so for the last month I’ve been severely plagued by the idea of a space pirate/android au, and here’s what I’ve managed to come up with, which is a rant accompanied by sketches :)
The setting is vaguely futuristic. “The Revenge”, a custom ship with solar sails, is captained by a wannabe space pirate Stede Bonnet fleeting from his past. His crew consists of both humans and androids, who are free to fall in love without prejudice and harassment. Lucius (lu-spr199s) is a construction designer robot who instead chose drawing dicks and polyamory as his hobbies (both not programmed by his initial settings). Pete is just some guy engineer who conveniently likes the ideas of 1) polyamory and 2) having his dick drawn.
Jim (cuz I’m tired of the alien/robot/eldritch god enby sterotype) is a human. They are a street kid, good with tech and violence, very agile and competitive. Frenchie (fr3nn4) is a tad glitchy. He stutters, stumbles over words, makes repetitive motions and sometimes gets distracted/spaces out. Yes I made him into an autistic android. No I will not take criticisms. Others that I might sketch later are as such: Roach, Oluwande, The Swede are androids. Ivan, Fang, Wee John are humans. No one knows what the fuck Buttons is.
I imagine Stede’s ship to look something like this (not my artwork sry):
On the other hand, there is “Queen Anne”, ruled by the most wanted man this side of the galaxy, Edward Teach. His First Mate, Izzy (iz-1701), is a former battle android that was set out to be deconstructed after four decades of missions. Ed accidentally acquired him when raiding a transporting vessel, and Izzy has been in his service for ten years now. He completes logs and maintenance around the ship and also fixes himself up when needed (although it’s becoming increasingly difficult due to the age of his model — the company stopped producing details for him long ago).
And this is how I approximately see Queen Anne, inspired by the concepts of Nemo’s Nautilus:
In the wake of Stede’s crushing into their lives, Izzy struggles with overcoming his programming and breaking the three laws of Azimov: do not harm a human being, do not resist orders, protect own existence if it’s not against the first two rules. Stede, meanwhile, also has some skeletons in his closet that are bound to be discovered. And Ed is just along for the ride.
Will Izzy finally admit to having emotions? Will Ed stop perceiving him as a mere object and not a person with opinions? Will Stede help bring about the necessary changes and insights?? *whispers* remains to be seen…
Also if you want to have a grasp on what inspired this idea and what I see this au’s Izzy as, listen to The Hoosiers’ “Goodbye Mr A”. I think it captures the essence of Izzy’s internal conflict quite well. Also also, I have some plot ideas but I am seemingly unable to sit down and write a cohesive multi-chapter fic, so bear with me as I post updates to this insanity :>

+*Space*+ LU AU 4
Wind let out a hard pant as he ran down the thin corridor of the satellite he was in. When he'd heard the ship was being boarded and there was going to be a crew to retrieve him he hadn't expected this. He turned a sharp corner almost dropping the sword he was clutching to for dear life. He held it tight against his chest, he never thought any of this would happen. He heard something chasing him and suddenly found what he'd been looking for and slid on his right hip, just like when he'd played baseball, and in a quick motion opened a small storage compartment and threw himself in shutting it behind him.
He breathed hard, but only for a moment because his breath got stuck when he heard it. It was something massive right by the compartment, he heard its claws scraping against the floor and had to keep himself from gasping when something warm leaked from the cracks dripping on him. He was frozen stiff with fear that it would find him but he soon heard it move, it's scraping claws getting quieter and quieter as it left him behind. He gasped breathing for the first time, his sides pinched in pain from the exertion.
He waited a while longer holding the sword close before he heard it, the alarm, someone else was boarding the ship. His heart dropped, what if it was more of them? He couldn't let more creatures board, so after a small debate on what to do he pushed open the small door looking out, he was practically crawling through what he realized was almost black colored blood. He bit back his gag reflex and stood up finally out he looked around. The monster's blood trailed to his right, that means he'd need to go to the left, back where he'd come from. He took in a deep breath shifting the sword into his hand ready to fight if it came to it and made his way down the long corridor.
Soon he came to the control room and looked in quickly, then backed away. It was full of creatures, one giant lizard, and three small pig like creatures. He heard the familiar alarm again, someone requesting to board. He peeked over and gasped quietly, the request came from the ship that'd been sent to retrieve him. He leaned against the wall, the door to his left as he debated his next move. This was all wrong, his mind screamed and he shrugged it off, this was his fault anyways, he needed to fix it. He clenched the sword and let out a yell as he charged in surprising the monsters enough to drive the blade he had through one of the pig-like creatures. It screamed and fell over defeated.
He jumped back as a spear grazed his ear barely missing his face.He held the sword looking between the three remaining creatures, his gaze going to the button that would accept the request to board, he knew he needed to hit it. One of the pig monsters dove at him with a dagger and he moved to the left, but slower than he'd intended as the dagger cut through his sleeve hitting his right bicep. He moved swinging his sword at the creature but was met with a kick in the ribs, he hadn't been paying attention to the lizard. He rolled over and got to his feet just in time to block the lizards spear as it came down at him. He thrust his weapon upwards sending the spear away and moved out of the way of the two pig monsters as they charged at him. He swung his sword as the pigs creatures passed him and severed one of their heads. Only two left he thought to himself as he moved backwards, if he could just hit that button. He ran quickly between the Lizard and Pig and dove for the button, his hand slammed it a bit harder than he thought, but a noise could be heard as the new ship was now able to attach and board.
He turned just in time to move out of the spears way as it smashed through the right side of the control panel. The spear was stuck, and he knew not to waste time and drove his sword into the Lizards side. It let out a cry that startled him, he hadn't expected such a loud yowl to come from it as it keeled over. Suddenly he let out a shard yelp of pain as something went through the back of his knee. He swung around as the pig creature shrieked dropping its weapon that was now lodged in Winds leg. Wind yelled fiercely pulling it out and stabbing the creature with its own weapon. Before he could react the creature moved away from him, its own weapon lodged in its chest as it pulled a horn from its belt. Wind froze as the horn moved to the creature's lip, he tried to run at it but fell as his leg gave out from the wound. Then it blew.
What happened next was a slight blur. When the horn rang out the creature fell on its face and died, but then he heard it, the massive claws, the weight of a humongous creature, then he saw it. It stood above him, it was missing an eye and had a long snout and short legs, and there was a deep incision on its side. In its massive hands it held a giant hammer, and Wind knew he had to move unless he wanted to be a pancake the rest of his life. He rolled out of the way as the hammer slammed down right where he had been. He pulled himself to his feet as adrenaline began to kick in keeping him up. He ran over to the Lizard pulling out is sword, but as he turned the monsters hammer smashed into his side sending in flying into the left control panel. He gasped, the air had been driven out of his lungs, he slid to the floor as the monster moved closer raising its hammer above his head. Wind looked up dazed, his vision was darkening but then a voice rang out suddenly.
"Go to Hell you son of b-" The guy's voice was cut off as a loud bang echoed through the control room and the monster fell over barely missing wind as it landed dead next to him. Wind looked over startled as a group of men stood at the entrance, one with slightly pink hair still holding his arms up with a gun. Wind looked between them and decided they must be the group here to retrieve him, and slumped onto his side in exhaustion, finally able to let himself breathe again.

Oooh, more of that one wher Zuko is a Water Tribe hostage AU
Continued from: [Link], [Link], [Link], and [Link].
1. When Zuko is thirteen, and Lu Ten twenty-three, and it's been some three years since the Southern Water Tribe conquered the Fire Nation and stole away the only surviving member of the royal family in the Fire Nation at the time, a popular uprising behind a former Naval captain overthrows the Southern Water Tribe Council. The Fire Nation may have lost nearly half its population in the space of a few years, but as the plague ebbs away and then subsides completely, it's still several orders of magnitude more populous than the Southern Water Tribe, and Southern Water Tribe was never going to last.
2. Zuko is standing with a gaggle of other Southern Water Tribe kids, including Sokka and Katara when the messenger comes with the news, so he hears it along with everyone else. He runs. Immediately and unthinkingly he runs. First to Hakoda's home for his own boomerang and hunting gear, and extra parka, and then out into the snow. Hakoda runs off after him, and, well his legs are longer, and he knows the ice better than Zuko, even after three years. He grabs him by the scruff of his neck and hauls him home.
3. Before anything else, Hakoda has to sit Zuko down and explain that he isn't in any danger, that Hakoda won't kill him for his countryman's actions, that this news does put Zuko in danger, but not from Hakoda, because men who seize power generally speaking don't want to give it up, and they tend not to want potential rivals to their power around to challenge them. They're all going to have to play this very carefully if Zuko is ever going to take the Fire Nation throne in anything more than name.
4. The former Naval captain, one Captian Zhao, was an old loyalist of Prince Ozai. And he talks a good game about rescuing the stolen Prince from the clutches of the evil Southern Water Tribe, but it's plain to anyone with half a brain that he doesn't mean it, that he wants to hold on to power for himself, and make himself Firelord. Ruthless and cunning, Zhao has a plan to eliminate the threat of the Water Tribes for once and for all, and his plan calls for attacking not the South, but the North.
5. Hakoda's words will prove themselves precient very soon, because one of those people for whom half a brain is sadly unavailable, has made plans to rescue sweet Prince Zuko from his evil Water Tribe captors, and is sailing south with his crew as fast as his fishing boat can take him.

hong lu verses
lcb sinner (basic verse)
jia baoyu--better known to most as hong lu--is a child of the well-off jia family, with several siblings, older and younger. they grew up in a nest, yes, but they're even more sheltered than that; it's only recently that they've been able to leave their family's strict control over them. currently, they are sinner #6 of limbus company, traveling around the city in search of golden boughs.
hong lu is cheerful and inquisitive, though their lack of worldly experience often leads to them accidentally offending people. they consider the other sinners to be their dear friends and are quite happy to be part of the company. they don't talk about their past much, and prefer to avoid discussing the topic of family too deeply, but they still inevitably bring it up from time to time--their family is their only point of reference for a lot of things, after all. though they come across as airheaded, having grown up in a family always looking to trample on each other to get ahead, they're actually quite adept at navigating social situations, provided they know what cues to keep in mind.
like the other sinners, they're capable of "putting on" their mirror world identities, accessing their memories, abilities, and personalities. unless otherwise specified, all verses listed below are identities, and aspects of them can be brought into main verse threads if desired!
alternate verses below the cut!
kurokumo wakashu
the mirror world in which hong lu is a member of the kurokumo clan, a syndicate with widespread control in the southern parts of the city. despite the kurokumo clan's strong adherence to heirarchy, he has no respect for his superiors--and yet, seems to have some special privilege in order to get away with this behavior. this hong lu is cold, cocky, and flippant. as with the rest of the kurokumo clan, he wields a katana.
tingtang gangleader
the mirror world in which hong lu leads the tingtang gang, a syndicate in the backstreets of district 10 known for their flashy sense of style, which makes it hard to take them seriously. their members seemingly take after their leader; this hong lu is a frivolous man who loves to gamble and have fun, certainly not someone you would peg as the leader of a gang. dismiss him at your own peril, however, or you may find that his mirthful laughter accompanies a switchblade cutting your throat.
liu section 5
the mirror world in which hong lu is a member of the liu association's section 5. in personality, this hong lu seems notably similar to her "base" self; perhaps joining a large association isn't too off-base for the jia family's black sheep? her fighting style, however, is vastly different: rather than her usual guandao, she wears gauntlets and boots that light aflame with friction, using precise and stylish martial arts to take down her targets.
w corp cleanup crew
the mirror world in which hong lu is--or perhaps "was" is the better word--a member of w corp's cleanup crew. do try not to get left behind in a warp train, won't you? you don't want to end up like her, transformed into a fleshy monster. at least she still has her space-tearing polearm. this hong lu is long abandoned, and has given up all hope. her smile and optimism: gone.
if it wasn't clear, this verse plays on the idea that the dimension shredder ego is her w corp identity's ultimate future. (i know that's not really how egos work, but sue me, the idea is fun and i want to write it.) i'm willing to write her at any point within this timeline!
k corp class 3 excision staff
the mirror world in which hong lu is an employee at k corp. class 3 excision staff are pumped so full of regeneration ampules while on the job that they have to spend the rest of their time in suspended animation to maintain their compatibility and minimize the risk of gruesome death, so why the hell did her grandmother think getting her this job would be a good way to let her see more of the world?
fate au
non-identity verse
true name: jia baoyu, though she prefers to be called hong lu. lancer-class heroic spirit. source: chinese literature (dream of the red chamber).
an enigmatic individual who was, in a previous life, a piece of jade who wished to see the world. her left eye is a mystic eye, but she's cagey when asked about what it does. she wields a guandao in combat.
skills: (will be filled in later but she's mainly support)
noble phantasm: land of illusion (dream of the red chamber) - effects will be filled in later but it's a reality marble
genshin impact au
non-identity verse
it's clear to anyone with a brain that this carefree liyuen is nobility of some form, so what are they doing adventuring? there's a good reason why hong lu rarely returns to liyue; the millelith know their face, and the streets of liyue harbor are dotted with missing person posters for the jia family's runaway, baoyu. presently, they're exploring teyvat, armed with nothing but the hydro vision they got when they resolved to leave and a cheap polearm they bought along the way, neither of which they're very skilled with. it's a miracle they haven't been killed by treasure hoarders or hilichurls yet.

👉 DNI if TERF/radfem, MAP/NOMAP/etc, incest/pedophilia shipper, AI "art" defender, truly believe fiction doesn't affect reality, likely to say "I'm not racist/homophobic (etc) but", and anyone in that genre.
👉 Sorting Tags Under the Cut (buckle up, this is a long one)
Tagging Conventions:
- Pairings are written with each character's name and a "&" between them, with no spaces (e.g. #zelda&link, #b'elanna&tom&harry).
- Some relationship tags (ship or not) have titles attached to them (e.g. #the twilight princesses // midna&zelda, #the noceda kids // luz and vee and hunter).
- I use common acronyms/short versions for fandoms, like "tloz," "voy," etc. If a LoZ game's acronym is less than 4 letters, it'll have "tloz" in front, like "#tloz oot", "#tloz ww", etc, except for #4s.
This will all be covered in the corresponding individual sections as well, don't worry. Ok, onto specifics...
(this isn't even all of them)
Fandom & Lore Tags:
• #moimois (fandom related memes. this is what French people call memes on r/rance)
Star Trek:
• #star trek
- #best st
- #tng
- #the next gen's enterprise crew
- #the next gen boys (Worf, Riker, Data, Geordi)
- #voy
- #the voyager crew
+ other ST series tags (#tos, #aos...).
UT/DR:
• #utdr
- #undertale
- #deltarune
These tags are complimentary with #utdr for precision.
- #deltaspooks (DELTARUNE lore)

- #Official DELTARUNE Lore ™ (silly lore bits or theories that make sense)
Minecraft:
• #minecraft
• #Enhancement Table (formerly "Minecraft lore pun". i finally got a good name!)
The Legend of Zelda:
• #tloz

- #botw incorrect quotes
- #best botw incorrect quotes
- #perfect botw (ideas for my ideal botw mod)
- #the hyrulean count (i fucking counted every npc- just in the settlements though- before realizing there are tons of even more compete lists online)
+ other game tags (#alttp, #hwaoc, etc). If the game's acronym that I use is shorter than 4 letters, it'll come after "tloz" (#tloz oot, #tloz tp, etc.) EXCEPT for #4s.
I have yet to go through every Zelda tag I have and put "#tloz" on each post so they're not all under this tag.
• #hyruleculture (loz lore/worldbuilding)
- #hylia's work (the best of the best in loz worldbuilding)
• #linked universe
- #lu dudes (just the LU guys in general)

• #Black Swan Archives (KotLC lore because i used to read that series when i was younger and i'm still a big fan okay? sue me)
Other fandom tags will just be the acronym or name.
AU Tags:
- #tloz au
- #modernzelda
- #botw au/#totk au
- #swap au (this one is all encompassing; could be a personality swap, a role swap, a gender swap, etc; can be any fandom)

These ones in particular have very clever little nicknames with them (I stole them from other people).
- #sworn siblings // luz and hunter
- #the twins // luz and vee
- #the noceda kids // luz and vee and hunter
- #the clawthorne kids // luz and king
There's also:
- #the owl house kids
- #the owl house parents
for group content. The pairings are all the normal format with no nicknames.
• Pairings:

The following are pairings with specifics:
- #zelda&link (BotW ZeLink only)
- #post calamity
- #pre calamity
- #got the botw energy right (not entirely zelink some of it is just the botw experience, but since so many people characterize zelda and link wrong in botw, it's used to sort out the best of the best)

- #zelink place of honor
- #link&sheik (for when Sheik is separate from Zelda. Or trans. Or both)

I wonder, for the mermaid au- what is kid's part to play with it all?
Alright, so on Eustass Kid in the Mermaid AU.
I thought about how best to answer this, and tbh, I’m going to say I unfortunately Don’t Know atm ^ ^; The AU parallels canon in a lot of ways, and while Kid has a growing role in Wano, he’s only appeared here and there up till then. And even IN Wano, up to the latest chapters, it’s a bit unclear how large a role he’ll play in the main storyline.
A few thoughts on the limited interactions we’ve had between him and Lu so far though:
-Kid is one of those who really, REALLY doesn’t give a flying fuck that Lu’s a girl and mermaid. He sees her as an equal and a rival, one he’ll have to shove out of his way so he can become Pirate King, the same as every single one of the other Supernovas. He does not treat her any differently from canon.
-As a result, they still absolutely bicker and compete over who can eat more and work harder at the Udon prison camp, while also being on the exact same wavelength to the point they can communicate nonverbally. And when nearby prisoners worry whether the pretty mermaid girl can handle the hard labor, Kid scoffs and says what a joke, she’d hardly be worthy of being his rival if she couldn’t handle a little rock smashing.
-But of course, even if Kid doesn’t see her as anything more or less than his equal pirate who’s gotten a step up on him by beating Doflamingo and pissing off Big Mom, that doesn’t mean others see her that way too.
-Kid’s not exactly the model of a pure moral compass and the thought of him acting as a white knight and Luffy being his damsel in distress gives him HIVES--But, when he hears prison guards making lewd comments about her, and mentioning maybe kneading some drugs into her dango, he does NOT take kindly to that. Straw Hat is HIS prey to beat up when they’re both at full strength, outsiders had better keep their fuckin’ meddling out of it!
-He is NOT concerned for Luffy or anything--Gross!--but perhaps, a few nights into their shared cell life, when he sees her teeth chattering in her sleep, looking a bit blue and curled into a tight ball in their shared stone cell...and perhaps, when he sees the prison guards leering at her exposed skin visible through her tattered kimono...perhaps he sits a little closer than is strictly necessary. So close, in fact, Straw Hat ends up underneath his fluffy feather cloak, pressed directly into his side, tucked under where his missing arm would have been.
-Fuck, she really IS cold, is it a mer thing??
-Kid usually hates when someone other than Killer is close to his vulnerable side, especially when he’s got fuckin’ seastone cuffs on and can’t make himself a metal replacement arm. He tells himself this is really Weird and Uncomfortable, and that there’s certainly nothing Nice about having a definitely-not-really-actually-kinda-cute mermaid invading his personal space. Straw Hat is all muscle and scrawny limbs with bumps that are freakishly soft that Kid definitely doesn’t want to touch more, and her tail’s not at all slimy like he imagined and--Kid’s keeping his hand to himself. She’s also tiny compared to Kid, and looks misleadingly fragile, and Kid could easily scoop her up with his one hand to put her on his lap and he’d hardly feel a thing--Kid keeps his hand to himself.
-BUT, he’s not going to move either. This is HIS favorite spot in the stupid cell, he was here first, and if someone should move it’s gotta be Straw Hat, who has no right to look so comfortable smushed against someone as dangerous as Kid. Kid ain’t moving though, that would be losing, and he gives ground to no one. Kid nods at his own fine reasoning.
-And then morning comes and the prison guards come banging on their door to get them up to work, and Kid’s awake but doesn’t move until Luffy slowly emerges from his plumage like a tiny animal coming out from its burrow, rubbing her eyes and still definitely mostly out of it, her tail slowly unwinding from where it’d wrapped around Kid’s torso sometime during the night. Kid doesn’t miss its warmth. And then she blinks up at Kid, recognition sparking in her big eyes that are really awfully BIG now that Kid sees them at this hyper close range, what the fuck he can see all the flecks of brown and gold in them. But she doesn’t look particularly alarmed, not like she really should be in this situation, and instead just stretches and gently bumps her cheek against Kid’s chest with a quiet Mornin’ before sliding out of Kid’s cloak, like this is completely normal.
-Kid refuses to act disoriented while Luffy’s calm, because that sorta feels like losing. Losing what, he has no clue.
-They’re completely back to their usual during the day, and they both still eat dango until they look like fat hamsters. And Kid maybe notices fewer disgusting comments towards Luffy that day, and when he sees people looking at her and glares at them, they look away a lot faster than they did before. He doesn’t really care beyond thinking Good, the guards have actually begun to fear Kid like they should have from the beginning, until he overhears the guards who came to wake them that morning gossiping in a corner.
-Shit, they say. Turns out Straw Hat’s Eustass Kid’s woman.
-And Kid snorts because that’s both hilarious and outrageous, him and Straw Hat being together like that is absolutely absurd and disgusting--but hey, he’s a busy man. He’s not gonna go out of his way to correct the idiots, especially when it means less harassment directed at his oblivious rival. No, he doesn’t feel smug or satisfied, or a hint of a really weird, freaky warm feeling he doesn’t dare linger on. Nope.
-And at night they’re back in their cell, going to sleep in their respective Spots, and a few minutes later, Straw Hat’s snoring inside Kid’s cloak once more.
-(the thought crosses Kid’s mind that Straw Hat’s so casual about being snuggly because this is normal to her, and it actually bothers Kid a lot more than it has any right to. Maybe she actually does sleep next to someone every damn night? Is it her crew, like that fellow Supernova swordsman? Is it one of her brothers, that sadistic Revolutionary, or Portgas, who’s definitely somehow still alive and marines are stupid to think he’s not? Is it fuckin’ TRAFALGAR, the damn pirate who formed an alliance with her before Kid could???)
-(and when they’re out, maybe Killer notes that Kid’s eyes always seem to be tracking Luffy, and it’s not just heated rivalry in his gaze. Kid tells his partner to shut the fuck up and mind his own business, and then Killer cackles, his laughter genuine for once, and Kid can’t quite get himself to actually shut him up. No, he doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night missing a certain warmth at his side)
wow I didn’t mean to type all of that but it just sorta came out, did any of y’all come out of this shipping KidLu more than u thought, bc I sure did just typing this out LMAOOOOO
(Kid’s level of denial almost makes Law’s look cute. *insert Spiderman meme* Kid & Law pointing fingers at each other shouting YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH STRAW HAT--NO I’M NOT, YOU--NO HEY FUCK U--Meanwhile Killer’s in the bg laughing at them with Luffy on his lap)
(Also I know the 3 Supernovas Law x Luffy x Kid is a good OT3 and one I love as well, but may I also suggest Kid x Luffy x Killer as another wonderful OT3)

among us
pairing: luke/ashton
content warnings: major character death, blood, swearing
word count: 2.9k
a/n: i finally wrote a thing! the among us au that absolutely no one asked for. it’s pretty dark and def not for everyone so no pressure to read at all, but if you do please please let me know what you think!
ao3 link
They’ve only been on Polus for two weeks. Two weeks, and already their crew of ten has dwindled down to four. When they’d first landed, and stepped off the dropship into the icy, biting air of the barely-habitable planet, the energy among the crew had been wary but overall positive. It’s no secret that Polus is the most dangerous base - a favourite haunt for impostors given its distance from other MIRA colonies and its general dark and dreary environment - but many of the crew were new recruits, excited to be visiting their first faraway planet and eager to conduct their research. The fact that an incident hasn’t occurred on Polus in a few months is a good sign, to them: a sign that maybe things are taking a turn for the better. They should have known it was only a matter of time.
The most recent death had been two days ago, and tensions had been thick among the remaining crew since. The meeting following the discovery of the body had been hours long as the last four argued over who could be an impostor. Luke had spent most of the meeting slumped in his chair, dread clutching at his heart as the very real possibility that none of them would ever make it off this damned planet began to sink in. Michael and Ashton’s voices had been hoarse from all the yelling by the end of it, and Calum seemed to be the only one satisfied with the final decision that no one would get thrown into the lava pit. It had only made Michael more suspicious of him, but Luke knows better. He’d seen the pain on Calum’s face when, a week ago, they’d thrown one of their own crewmates into the pit - a crewmate who’d turned out to be innocent, after all. Calum might seem stoic, but Luke can tell he has a gentle soul.
None of them had known each other before being sent on this mission, but spending two weeks trapped on a frozen planet with less than a dozen colleagues and a killer on the loose tended to provide for some rapid and intense bonding. Up until the most recent death, Calum and Michael had been two peas in a pod, often partnering up to complete their daily tasks and spending all of their free time together. Now that potential suspects are narrowing down, and with Calum’s general habit of not speaking unless spoken to, Michael has completely detached himself from his former friend. It makes Luke sad to see what seemed like such a strong bond break so quickly, but he doesn’t think it actually has anything to do with Calum himself. Michael’s paranoid of everyone, now, as evidenced by the way he’s watching Luke from the office doorway as Luke pours two mugs of stale coffee.
“Do you want me to pour you one?” Luke asks, attempting to ignore the scowl on Michael’s face. Michael doesn’t reply, instead giving Luke a once-over before walking away with a huff.
Luke clenches his jaw as he looks back down at the cups of swirling black sludge. He hates this. They’re scheduled to be on Polus for another month and a half, but more and more he finds himself hoping it’s over sooner than that, because he can’t stand the fear and distrust permeating every space on the base. He just wants to leave this hell, and he’s starting to care less and less whether that happens via the dropship, or a quick fall into the lava pit.
Luke dumps cream and sugar into one of the mugs until the coffee is almost as pale as him, and emitting a sickly sweet aroma, then he puts on his helmet and heads outside to the O2 building.
As Calum and Michael’s friendship developed (and then shattered) Luke himself had grown close with Ashton, the most experienced member of their crew and one impostor-survival story away from becoming somewhat of a legend at MIRA. None of them knew each other before, but everyone knows of Ashton. Luke’s known from the beginning that if he was going to survive this mission, Ashton would be the one to befriend. He was strong, and intelligent, and had a disarming stare that made other crewmates swear that he could tell whether someone was an impostor just by looking at them. Luke knows that isn’t possible, but the man certainly does seem to be a good judge of character. Well, fairly good.
Ashton’s working in O2 all day today. There had been some odd anomalies with the tree last night, and he’s spent most of the morning sitting at its roots, hunched over his tablet as he examines the data. It was how Luke had left him an hour ago when he popped in to change the oxygen canisters, and it’s how he found him now, tiny crease in his brow, though he looks more focused than confused.
“I brought you some coffee,” Luke speaks up softly from the doorway, not wanting to startle Ashton. “Thought you could use a break.”
Ashton’s small frown dissolves into a warm smile as he looks up at Luke. He sets his tablet aside with a sigh and holds his hand out, but when Luke hands him the mug, still steaming despite the trip outside in below-freezing temperatures, he sets that down as well and extends his hand once more.
“Sit with me?” he asks, and Luke blushes ever so slightly as he takes Ashton’s hand and allows himself to be guided to a spot on the floor clear of roots and wires.
“How’s it going?” he asks as Ashton takes a sip and hums in satisfaction. Ashton’s the only person on the crew who actually likes the coffee here, and for the first few days Michael had liked to joke about how that must mean he’s an impostor.
“Well, I’ve ruled out sabotage,” Ashton replies, looking over at the tree as if it might suddenly decide to reveal its secrets. As senior researcher, Ashton is solely in charge of monitoring the tree, and Luke admires how much he takes his duties to heart. Everyone understands the work MIRA is doing is important, but Luke has never met someone as passionate about it as Ashton. “My best guess is that something flew by that upset the energy field. Probably an asteroid. With only four people, it’s getting harder to keep them away.”
It sounds to Luke like this is something to be concerned about, but Ashton seems unfazed as he takes another sip of his coffee, his thumb tracing the back of Luke’s hand where it rests on his knee, their fingers still intertwined. Ashton always appears unfazed, though. Apart from his screaming match with Michael the other day, he’s well-composed, carefully observant, and the voice of reason. Luke supposes that’s just what happens when you survive a dozen impostor attacks - if they don’t drive you insane, that is.
“Should we be worried?”
“The tree will be fine,” Ashton turns to Luke with that same smile that seems to be reserved just for him, and Luke’s stomach flutters, though he’s not sure if it’s from Ashton’s gaze, or his carefully-chosen words. He looks down at their hands, and when he gives Ashton’s a slight squeeze, Ashton squeezes back. “Hey, you’re safe with me, Lu. You know that, right?”
Luke nods. He wishes that Ashton would say more, would promise him that they’ll make it off this stupid base alive, but he knows better. Ashton doesn’t lie, and he doesn’t make promises he can’t keep.
“Michael won’t stop glaring at me,” he mumbles, toying with the strap of his helmet with his free hand. “He’s making me nervous.”
“Michael’s fine. He’s just nervous, himself. We all are.”
“You’re not.”
“I’m always nervous.”
“You don’t seem nervous.”
“It’s not so bad when I’m around you.”
“Oh.”
It’s the closest either of them has come to actually acknowledging the feelings they’ve been dancing around for the past two weeks. What had started as soft smiles and fond glances, a brush of a hip here or there, has slowly graduated to hand-holding in their moments alone. Relationships are almost impossible in this line of work, and Luke has never been in one himself, so it’s all kind of a big deal to him, and he’s grateful that Ashton seems perfectly content to let him set the pace for whatever this is between them. Luke doesn’t really plan on letting it go much further, though. When this mission is over, they’ll leave this little bubble they’ve pulled over themselves, and go their separate ways, on to another mission, on another planet. They might not even cross paths ever again. MIRA is a big company, and the galaxy they operate in is even bigger.
Never really one for words, Luke’s not sure how else to respond to Ashton’s confession. He takes Ashton’s hand in both of his, plays with his fingers, and hopes Ashton understands it as the reciprocation it is.
They find Michael’s body the next morning. It’s a sloppy job, his throat slit right outside the sleep quarters, in full view of the security cameras. Luke almost throws up in his helmet as Calum, face devoid of any emotion, gently picks up the corpse, and Michael’s head rolls, a bit of blood trickling out from the gash in his neck.
“He’s still warm,” is all Calum says, before standing up and making his way towards the lava pit.
Luke shares a look with Ashton, then the other man bends down to pick up Michael’s discarded helmet. The collar is ripped and soaked in blood, the visor cracked. Ashton stares at it for a moment, expression unreadable, before following Calum to the pit. Watching them dump the body is the last thing Luke wants to do, but his feet pull him forward without a second thought, following after Ashton like a lost puppy.
It’s as unceremonious as the other five times they’ve had to do this. Calum hesitates for longer this time, kneeling at the edge of the pit, clutching Michael’s body, and for a moment Luke thinks he might just launch the both of them over the edge. When Ashton approaches him and rests a hand on his shoulder, Calum seems to be pulled from a daze. He rests his forehead against Michael’s for a moment, then slowly lets go. Michael’s body rolls out of his grip and over the cliff’s edge. Luke flinches at the dull thud and subsequent roar as flames immediately consume the corpse. Ashton adds Michael’s helmet to the row next to the pit, a tribute to their fallen crewmates. For most, it’s the only thing left of them at all, the only way they’ll ever be remembered.
It’s mandatory procedure to hold a meeting after a body is discovered. Luke’s as sullen as he was during the last meeting, but this time Calum and Ashton are the same. Nobody speaks for a good ten minutes. They all just stare at the table, undoubtedly thinking the exact same thing: there’s only three of them left, and someone at this table killed a person less than an hour ago.
Calum’s the first to move.
“I can’t fucking do this again,” he grunts, standing up from the table so quickly that his chair falls back. “I can’t- I’m going to check on my samples. I can’t do this right now.”
Ashton looks just as surprised as Luke feels as Calum walks out of the office. They turn to each other, an entire conversation taking place between them without either saying a word, until Luke shakes his head in denial.
“No, he wouldn’t.” He wishes he sounded more convinced. “He couldn’t. Not Michael.”
Calum wouldn’t hurt a fly. Well, he did one time, accidentally; he stepped on a bug in the lab with his massive boots and then stressed about it for days afterwards. He could never do it intentionally, though, right? He was quiet, but he was a good colleague. A good person. Not a killer. At the very least, he could never do... that, to Michael.
“I can’t believe it either, Lu, but who else could it be? Me?”
“No.” Luke has never been more certain of anything in his life.
“You?” Ashton asks, inevitably. Luke doesn’t even get a chance to open his mouth before Ashton answers for him. “No. So who’s left?”
Luke can’t accept that, yet, and so he racks his brain for a different answer. His eyes fill with tears of frustration and resignation.
“Well, what do we do now?” he finally asks, voice barely above a whisper.
“We keep doing what we always do,” Ashton replies, voice steady and sure. “We do our job. We stay together. We watch each other’s backs and we fucking make it to the end of the two months. We survive. And if we get the chance, we…”
Luke’s grateful that Ashton doesn’t finish the thought. Calum’s words from the meeting three days ago ring through his head, accompanied by a nagging feeling of guilt and shame.
“If we kill them, even to avenge, we’re no better than they are.”
“I don’t want to,” Luke murmurs. “I’m so tired of it, Ash. I can’t do it anymore.”
His vision is so blurry, he doesn’t realize Ashton’s reached out until his thumb runs along his cheekbone, collecting the tears under his eye before they can fall to the floor. He moves to grasp Luke’s chin, turning his head until Luke’s forced to look at Ashton, hazel eyes piercing his soul.
“You don’t have to, Lu.”
It’s so heavy, so final, that Luke wonders whether Ashton knows more than he’s letting on.
That evening, Luke slumps against the bathroom wall, watching Ashton get ready for bed. As the other man bends over the sink to rinse his face, Luke toys with the knife in the pocket of his jumpsuit, trying to work up the nerve to do what he has to do.
He’s known all along that it was only a matter of time before it came to this, but he’d hoped, he’d wished, foolishly, that he’d have more time. More time to think of a way out of this, for himself and for Ashton, maybe for the other crewmates. If not that, then at least more time to just feel. Years of working for - no, of being a slave to - the fringe group trying to take down MIRA meant years of wasted moments, of aborted feelings and almost-friendships, years of having the rug pulled out from under his feet every time he felt he was finally planted on solid ground. Luke hasn’t met someone like Ashton in so long, someone who makes him feel like he can finally breathe, who gives him hope for something more, and he just wants some fucking time. But, since when has he ever gotten what he wants?
He meets Ashton’s gaze through the polished metal sheet that acts as a mirror. The scratches and rust spots somewhat distort their faces from this distance, and make them both look much older than they are, though that could have more to do with the years of endless work and trauma they’ve both been through.
Ashton smiles, and while it does reach his eyes, it’s a tired one. Luke swallows hard. Ashton turns off the tap, picks up his toiletry kit, and heads out of the bathroom, pausing with his hand hovered over the light switch.
“You done in here?” he asks, and Luke hums.
“Was waiting for you.”
Ashton huffs an almost-laugh and shakes his head as he flicks off the light.
“You’re a sweetheart.”
The compliment makes Luke’s stomach drop as he follows Ashton down the hall to his private quarters.
“Can I stay with you tonight?” he asks warily. “I’m scared of…y’know.”
“Of course you can.”
Luke sways in the doorway as Ashton turns his back to him once more, crouching down to open the small locker next to his bed. Luke grips the knife in his pocket, takes a deep breath, and counts to three. Killing has never come easy to him, but this is, by far, the hardest one yet.
Ashton shuts his locker and stands up, and when he turns back around, Luke has the knife pointing at his throat. One swipe, and Ashton will crumble to the floor, and then Luke can go kill Calum while he sleeps, and then he can leave this fucking planet and try and forget about the horrible, horrible things he’s done here, and go and do more horrible things somewhere else, because it never fucking ends, does it?
“Lu,” Ashton breathes, composed as ever. He’s not pleading, like the others did if Luke was slow enough to give them a chance to do so, and he doesn’t sound particularly surprised, either. He sounds...sad. Disappointed.
“I’m sorry.” Luke tastes hot, salty tears on his chapped lips. “I- I have to. They’ll kill me if I don’t, or worse.”
Ashton’s gaze flickers between Luke’s face and the knife, glinting under the harsh fluorescent lights as Luke’s hand shakes.
“You don’t have to, Luke,” Ashton repeats his words from earlier, confirming Luke’s suspicion that he already knew Luke was the impostor, perhaps all along.
Luke shakes his head roughly.
“I’m so sorry,” he hiccups. “I have orders.”
Ashton’s own eyes are hazy, and Luke knows it’s now or never, but he can’t bring himself to move, to take one more step forward and swipe the blade. He watches, frozen, as Ashton slowly closes one hand around his extended wrist, pushing down so the knife is no longer level with his throat. Ashton’s other hand comes up, and Luke hears the soft click before he actually sees the gun, pointed straight at his head.
“So do I.”

My Sworn Brothers [Luffy x Crossover!Sister!Reader x Ace x Sabo]
A/N: Hey, so I want to write a High School AU of the many, many anime I have watched/ read. Bleach, Blue Exorcist, Devil is a Part-Timer, Durarara, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, High School of the Dead, InuYasha, Kill La Kill, Magi, My Hero Academia, Noragami, One Piece, Ouran High School Host Club, Pokemon, Saiki K, Sailor Moon, Seven Deadly Sins, Soul Eater, Sword Art Online, Vampire Knight, Your Lie in April, and Yu Gi-Oh. And I was wondering who would you like to be apart of your friend? And would you like to have a relation to any of the characters of the world.
Summary: [Y/N] is the oldest sworn sister to Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. And after finding Ace and Sabo aboard Luffy’s ship, the Thousand Sunny, she explains to them who she is, her other sworn brothers and sisters, embarrasses the three of them (a regular Tuesday for her), and threatens them with a chalkboard for interrupting her. Multiple times. In this story, most of the anime I am into is in the same world (Bleach, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha, Magi, My Hero Academia, Naruto, Noragami, Seven Deadly Sins, and Sword Art Online. I might do a part 2.
Warnings: spoilers for the above mangas and animes, also, even though this is along the timeline of after the time skip (at some point), I took the creative liberty to have Ace alive during this meeting for a quad family reunion, might be language
Word Count: 1, 668
“How the hell am I suppose to believe that my three idiotic brothers would be in the same place at the exact same time I’m trying to find them?” the girl with [H/C] hair, old enough to be Luffy’s age, maybe a year younger or a year older than him.
“[Y/N]!!” the rubber boy flung himself at her in a hug.
She fell down on her butt from the impact of the hug. She groaned before pushing the boy off of her and standing up, dusting herself off. “Geez, Lu. I was on a job, just finished, and I heard something about a Straw Hat, a Fire Fist, and a blonde with a top hat that put the mad hatter to shame. I just came to see if the rumors are true.”
“What job did you have, sis?” Sabo said as he sipped a smoothie created from Vinsmoke Sanji.
“Well, you see. In the ten years I’ve been gone, I’ve been busy. Both with being lazy and being diligent.” the girl explained. “I am a member of Fairy Tail. Dragon Slayer Magic, particularly fire, water, earth, air, and plant. Requip the Knight. Some space jumping there and vortex opening here.”
“You got the two mixed up, kid.” Ace said from his spot next to Sabo.
The girl grinned an evil grin. “Oh, did I, Ace of Clubs?”
The raven haired pirate groaned at the nickname while Luffy’s crew members wondered after the nickname. Ace kept giving her the don’t-tell-them-anything look with a cut-it-out motion. She, like most people she knew, did not listen to reason.
“Well, when we were younger, I attempted to teach the pour unfortunate souls that you call Luffy, Sabo, and Ace golf. And we played mini-gold. First hole we went to, the club flew out of Ace’s hand and crashed into the window where the pour lady working the club stand was clonked on the head and fell unconscious. Another fun fact: I’m overly competitive and therefore master of mini gold. Luffy on the other hand... beat my bowling high score of just a little over four hundred points.” [Y/N] explained.
“THAT’S NOT HOW YOU PLAY GOLF, YOU IDIOT!” Usopp shouted at his captain.
“Ace was a lot worse. However, on the eighteenth hole, got a hole in one. Although with team sports, I always sided with Luffy ‘cuz he was the baby of the family.” she explained.
“Never play Volleyball with her unless you’re Luffy.” Sabo warned the Straw Hat Pirates.
“Could you... possibly.... explain who you are?” asked Nami.
“That’s an easy and excellent question, m’lady. I am [Y/N] [L/N], the daughter of the Demon King from the Demon Clan, Niece of Solomon, adoptive daughter of the great dragon, The Curse of Depravity, a mage of S-Class ranking, the best older sister anyone can have, a Shinigami, and the Pirate Fairy.” [Y/N] said with her hands on her hips like wonder woman.
“You’re not wonder woman, dumbass.” Ace muttered.
She scowled at the boy (who was now physically older than her). “I know that, asshole.” Ace shrugged his shoulders at that. “Anyways, I should get going. I’m here with my teammates. And Salamander will have a cow if he finds out I’m on a Pirate Ship. Which may or may not include Natsu asking you all to fight him at once for his sister.” [Y/N] shrugged.
“SISTER?!” Luffy screeched.
“YOU ALREADY REPLACED US?!” Ace and Sabo said in unison.
“This is why I never took you to Amusement parks or sat next to you on a ride.” she clenched at her swollen ears. “No, I was merely saying that I have something called [Y/N]’s Council of Brothers. They’re basically a band of boys I feel need my protection, wisdom, and power to embarrass them until they’re six feet under and rotting.”
“She’s dark.” Nami said. “But can you explain this whole Council of Brothers thing. Because I’m not sure they,” the ginger pointed to the three brothers, “understand.”
“Alright! I will go over a lesson here!” and suddenly a white board appeared by her side with writing already on it.
“Where did you get the white board?” asked Luffy.
“That’s not important right now.” she scowled. “Yes, Sabo.”
“Was that Whiteboard always there and we just never noticed it?” the blonde asked.
“No. Ace if this is a question about the white board, I will smack you with the same gold club that flew through that window. All questions about the stupid whiteboard will be answered after I explained everything. Got it?”
The three brothers grumbled out a, “Yes.”
“Good. Anyways, to start it off I have two half-brothers. Meliodas and Zeldris.” she slapped a pointer stick against the whiteboard.
“Did she always have that?” Ace asked, whispering it to his two brothers.
“I don’t know. I’m just glad someone noticed it besides me.” Sabo murmured back.
“SILENCE, YOU INSOLENCE FOOLS!” and she threw a frying pan which hit Ace in the head.
Why does she have a frying pan in her requips? Sabo wondered in his head, not wanting to get hit in the head with anything else she might have to throw at them.
“Anyways, Meliodas and Zeldris are my half-brothers. Zeldris is the captain of the Demon Clan’s ten Commandments while Meliodas is the captain of Liones’s Seven Deadly Sins of which I am co-captain and the Phoenix Sin of Darkness. To be fair, I look more like my mother and I think the only thing me, Meliodas, and Zeldris share is our dumbassery we inherited from our father. Second off, my cousin is Magi Aladdin since my mother is his father, Solomon,’s sister. Now, that’s enough of my actual biological family. Now, I won’t go into detail about those three. Because you already seem well-acquainted with one another. Anyways, onto the next one. The next one on my list of brothers is a half-demon named Rin who is the son of Satan along with his younger brother, Yukio, but he doesn’t really need protection. next is Kazuto Kirigaya also known as Kirito. I prefer to call him that. He got stuck in a game where if you die there, you die in real life, but he defeated them. next, we have Satan himself, a king of demons, Sadou Maou. He works as a part-timer for a fast food chain which is sad to be honest. Next, we have Alibaba Saluja, a prince and a king’s candidate, also my cousin’s best friend. He wields the fire djinn, Amon. Also, he’s trying to be a gladiator while figuring out his feelings for Fanalis and former slave Morgiana. Next, we have actual God Yato who is a former god of calamity and a current god of war. I think. I’m not quite sure. But he and his two regalia, Yukine and a Nora named Kazuma, but also Kazune under Yato, must be protected by me at all cost. Then, we have Edward Elric, a alchemist missing both a leg and an arm because he wanted to see his mom’s smile again which kicks me in the heartstrings whenever I hear it. His brother, Alphonse, is an honorary member of the Council of Brothers. And he used to be entirely a soul attached to a suit of armor. No joke.”
“Does no one else notice that they are mostly raven haired or blonde?” Nico Robin commented.
The Straw Hat Pirates turned to the three sworn brothers who just shrugged their shoulders at that. “I admit I am guilty for that. But my actual brothers are raven headed and blonde, so that may be the reason. Anyways, off to the next people. Now, this person could make Luffy look like a genius. Sometimes. Natsu Dragneel, a salmon haired fire dragon slayer, is the brother of Zeref Dragneel, the black wizard, and also simultaneously END, the most powerful demon of the book of zeref which makes him one of the top fifteen most powerful demons. Next, we have strawberry boi, Ichigo Kurosaki, a shinigami who I’ve been helping train. He could see the dead and then he discovered his spiritual power, stole the shinigami powers of Rukia Kuchiki, and started to exorcist hollows and send souls to the soul society. Then, we have my favorite band of brothers since they could literally be in a band. Broccoli Boi, Izuku Midoriya, kinda has a power augmentation quirk, best way to describe it without giving too much away, Porcupine Katsuki Bakugo who can blow things up with help from his sweat. Zuko Wannabe Shoto Todoroki who can wield fire and ice. Also, his brother Touya may or may not be Dabi. Then, Pikachu Kaminari Denki who can utilize elctricity, but too much and he makes Luffy look like a genius. No joke. Well… maybe… I don’t really know. Anyways, then we have speedster Tenya Iida. Oh, there’s sharkboy Eijiro Kirishima. He can make himself go as hard as rock, but he has limitations. Then, we have spidertape Hanta Sero that can shoot tape out of his elbows. Then, half-demon InuYAsha who is the son of a dog demon and a mortal woman. There’s also Shippo who is an adorable little kitsune. And I think I got everyone.” the girl looked at her board before smacking it again as she noticed Luffy had begun to doze off while Ace had totally fallen asleep.
The action alerted the two boys to wake up at once and glare at their older sister. And then, a silver haired undead man with a flying blue cat landed on the floor of the ship. “Thank goodness we found you. C’mon. We got a mission and you and your ‘Team Natsu’ have a job request from the old man and a princess.”
“So Hisui and Bartra both agree to have us do something, but what is this so-called mission?” asked [Y/N].
Ban smirked. “We’re fighting slave-trading pirates.”
“I want in!” Luffy cheered.

remember my stalker!Deuce au? (x) I continued bouncing ideas off with @s-tellula & was so eager to share all we came up with! mostly copy/pasted from our discord discussions
warnings: fem!Lu, mentions of sexual assault (Teach/Ace), drug usage, character death
Deuce really wants to get at Luffy, push her out of the picture, but he simply can’t bring himself to do so
It would upset Ace, & he can’t have that
he might not have the will to do smth, but that doesn't stop his angry glares and his jealously building up to the point where everyone starts noticing and actively begin to keep those two separated
Sanji would try confronting him too, since he's better at reading emotions.
Zoro would keep a close eye on Deuce since-- he's now very abrasive towards Luffy, & that's his captain
Sanji in charge of all the food makes it easier for them to slip things in to calm his ass down.
But yeah, Deuce is smart. He would figure it out.
what if deuce's got some sea stone with him in one way or another; he himself isn't exactly sure why he has it, just knows he's keeping it just in case. maybe he has it to harm a devil fruit user if they decide to hurt ace, maybe he has it to do some research on his own about the mineral.
and when he finds out about being drugged, he snaps at ace, claiming that they are treating him like an animal, like he can't control himself, that they don't know/understand his pain, his worry about ace being harmed and perhaps ace doesn't know about it (aka the pills to calm deuce), or maybe he does, but anyways deuce can blame ace about the treatment and how he's not doing anything to keep the straw hats from slipping things into his food
"that's the least thing you could do after so many years of dedicating myself to you, tO US" and whoaahh this dude is really getting out of control with all this manipulating and toxic behavior
deuce could also start with some "oH I GET IT NOW. YOU WANT ME GONE. YOU DONT WANT ME AROUND WHEN IM A BOTHER, A WASTE OF SPACE AND A THIRD WHEEL BETWEEN YOU AND LUFFY" bullshit and like he's giving some subtle signs that he's threating ace with leaving, but before doing so deuce approaches again, and says smth like ''at least get to feel what those hellish months before finding you were like'' and then uses the seastone
And Ace- is so distraught, cause he had no idea. How could he? After his time spent captive with Blackbeard, there's no way he would ever agree to the Straw Hats drugging Deuce. No, that was something they decided among themselves, & he doesn't even get the chance to confront them on it before Deuce finds out & snaps at him.
Maybe in his own angry, possessive mind- he starts throwing that back in Ace's face as well. Because I guarantee Teach would've bragged about his conquests on Ace to Deuce during the Payback War. "You're so eager to get rid of me! That's why you were slutting around with Teach that whole time, right!? Don't pretend! I know all about it, he told me!" & Deuce knows Teach's version, which was still pretty cruel & unforgiving in his depiction of what happened- of passing Ace around the crew like meat, drugging him, abusing him, but Deuce is no longer in his right state of mind anymore.
Maybe he was never in the Right™️ state of mind
Ace can't say anything more when he brings that up. He was trying desperately to reassure Deuce when it was his relationship with Luffy, but now? He can't recognize the man behind the mask anymore, & it terrifies him. Because Ace isn't okay anymore either.
& he feels like he deserves it too, especially now with Deuce yelling at him for it all, for what Teach did to him too-- he starts to doubt himself. 'Did I want that? No, of course not! I fought, I fought so hard! But... did I really? Did I not try hard enough? Did I let them do that to me?'
He's on a spiral when Deuce cuffs him with seastone. Just a single cuff, like a bracelet, and Ace- doesn't have it in him to fight. All he can let out is a pitiful-- "Deuce..." With so much emotion wrought behind the name, pleading for a man he loved to come back, not wanting to accept that maybe... just maybe... that man never truly existed to begin with.
he would snap & kill Ace, but: it’s definitely an accident, & he’s so clingy with the body after. Probably gets found still holding it against himself, carrying it around with him even, maybe ran off with Ace after he found out about being drugged

WIP: another LU supernatural!AU
So I’m sure you guys have noticed the trend, and how I love these sorts of supernatural/fantasy/superpower AUs. This one’s gonna be a bit more on the traditional supernatural side and a shade or two darker than my Safe House fic.
Preview below.
Wild felt Twilight’s pain and immediately woke up. Before his eyes even opened fully, he had an arm thrown in front of Twilight and his long fangs bared. Twilight was growling too, a hand gripping his left bicep where the sharp pain throbbed.
Warrior froze with his hand held up, empty syringe between his index and thumb, seemingly to say he meant no harm, but his other hand was clearly gripping the gun holstered on his hip.
“What did you do?” Twilight’s voice was demanding but his exhaustion left him without the intensity he needed to be truly intimidating.
“Can’t have you passing out in front of Time and embarrassing me, so I ordered him to give you a pick-me-up. Nothing laced with wolfsbane or anything harmful like that,” Legend answered from the driver’s seat, “though with Warrior, you never know. He has a nasty habit of trying to poison people.”
“Not people. Just vampires.” Warrior sat back and took his hand off the gun.
“Oh? Not all supernaturals? What kind of Hunter did I hire then?” Legend looked into the rearview mirror with an eyebrow raised.
“The kind who’s specializing at the moment,” Warrior started to pack away the syringe into his bag, “given certain extenuating circumstances.”
The glass of the syringe reflected a bit of red from the streetlight that shone in through the car window, casting a dancing dot of light on the floor of the car between the two rows of opposite-facing seats.
Hyrule dove for it. The fairy’s clawed fingers ripping into the carpet over and over to try to trap the light.
Warrior closed the snap on the syringe’s case and the light disappeared.
Hyrule frowned and hissed, clawing at the floor in a rage. Wild and Twilight pulled up their feet on to the seats to prevent their toes from being severed.
Before the fairy left too many scratches, Warrior sighed and flicked a coin out of his bag. Hyrule’s eyes blew wide, and he caught it easily with one hand. He flipped on his back, holding the coin above him with one hand and stroking the edge with another finger slowly.
Warrior kicked the fairy’s legs that were resting on his feet. The fairy kicked back, but then drew up his knees so he was out of Warrior’s space and he could go on staring at the coin in peace.
Warrior was terrifying because he was a hunter. Hyrule was just plain terrifying.
Legend: Prince of Vampires (not Time’s son but one of his potential successors)
Warrior: Hunter
Hyrule: fairy (like the don’t-step-in-the-fairy-circle, steal-your-child evil fairy)
Twilight: werewolf
Wild: vampire
Time: King of Vampires
Sky: member of a powerful mage family who have sworn to protect and serve the king of vampires
Four: vampire
Wind: werewolf
Honestly my favorite characters in this are Warrior and Sky so far. Their personalities clash so much in this. Sky’s 1000% lawful good and Warrior’s lawful/neutral evil. Sky’s either going to kill him with kindness or Warrior will just straight up kill him.
Honestly, Legend’s whole crew’s a hot mess. Legend and Warrior are some combination of lawful/neutral evil and Hyrule’s just straight up chaotic evil. And Twilight and Wild just want to live to see the next day.
I still don’t have a plot really for this—just characters. So I think once I figure that out, you might see a real chapter. (This of course won’t take away or interrupt the updating of the Safe House fic. The Safe House fic is going to continue to be my top priority until I finish it.)
Everything is of course subject to change. Thus is the benefit of it still being a work-in-progress. Anyway, let me know if this sounds like something you’d read!

+*Space*+ LU AU 3
The Commander shifted on his feet as the elevator moved up. it was different though, not the elevator from the fancy building they'd been in the day prior, this was the launch elevator. It was taking them to their shuttle. He knew the procedure, he'd been to space more than he'd been able to count, but some of his crew were new to this, this would be their first launch into magnificent desolation.
"Does anyone else have a weird feeling?" The engineer spoke up from the back. "I mean, our crew is rather big, you think we'll be able to launch fine in close quarters?"
"I've launched with a team of ten." The Commander reassured him lightly. "We are rather big for a short retrieval mission, but it's nothing to fret about, Space travel has evolved in the last few years, more than anyone expected."
"I for one am interested to see this through." Sky spoke lightly. "It's not often one gets the chance to touch the clouds and go beyond."
"You young pilots all talk so poetic about the sky," The Veteran remarked with a slight edge. "It makes it seem like a bigger deal than it is. It's just the sky."
"Aren't you and Sky practically the same age?" Traveler asked looking between them slightly.
"JUST THE SKY!?" Sky gasped slightly, ignoring Travelers comment. "It's not JUST a SKY it's a whole universe beyond the clouds!" Sky argued firmly but not very fiercely.
The Veteran rolled his eyes. "You could say the same thing about the ocean. Doesn't make it cooler."
Sky let out a small gasp of offence and opened his mouth to reply but the elevator made a shaky stop as they finally reached the platform that stretched out a hundred feet before them to the shuttle. "How about we start this mission not in the middle of a petty quarrel?" The Rancher reached over gently touching Sky and Veterans shoulders. Veteran pulled away and let out a huff but didn't argue and Sky nodded agreement with the Rancher. They all turned and began making their way across the platform now almost to the Shuttle.
Champion hung back slightly as the rest of them were moving forwards and the Commander turned examining his face. He was worried, it wasn't hard to tell, he could see the way his scarred hand twitched and the way he shifted his feet away from the loading bridge. He didn't want to board the shuttle. He turned, going over to the young mission specialist while the rest of the crew hung back silently as the Commander went to speak with him.
"Champ." He spoke in a calm voice, but the mission specialist didn't look over, his brows were bent in thought. "Are you alright Champion?"
Champion shifted then looked up at him finally, his expression was hard. "The last time I flew I lost ten years of my life." He spoke firm and unwavering but the slight shake in his hands gave him away to the experienced Commander.
"We are not going to crash." The Commander said in such a tone it would be believable to anyone who heard it. "We have a mission. This isn't an experimental craft. This is the real deal Champion." The Commander looked at him and could tell by his expression his fear was not based on himself but rather fear for the rest of the crew. He lowered his voice slightly and spoke honestly. "We are not going to perish today. Today we are going to the Stars, and we're going to recover a child who needs us, do you understand? I won't let us fail, but we need you to succeed. We can't do this mission without you."
Champion looked at the Commander then past him at the rest of the crew and nodded. "Understood Commander." He replied with a small salute before they both turned catching up with the rest of them.
They finally stopped at the door to the shuttle and made their way inside. It was a slightly awkward task of getting situated, as they had to climb and sit at a 90 degree angle for take off. Once they were inside and seated they began activating the procedures necessary for launch and it wasn't long before a voice spoke into the Coms from the ground team to initiate the take off. Once they went through the last few steps the familiar count down to launch began.
The ship began to rumble as the engines began to burn fuel. The shuttle which they sat in vibrated with the engines rumbling below them and soon the count down reached one and the ship basted off into the sky making its way to the space outpost satellite were their mission to retrieve a young boy layed wait.
