Warriors grinned, and the last bit of his strength slipped away, sending him crashing down into Legend. The veteran’s arms wrapped around him, holding him close, and Warriors leant into him even as his own arms tightened around Wild’s unconscious body. He wouldn’t drop the boy—not so close to the end.

“Hyrule!” Legend called, and turned around. Warriors stumbled with him in a bit of an awkward dance, dragged along by the other man’s strength.

—-

Based on this fantastic moment from Soldier On by @queenofmoons67 The whole fic is excellent and I’m literally starving for Wild & Warrior moments so hit just at the right time.

1 Year Anniversary of the Overcome fics @triforce-of-mischief!!

Hanging by a Thread is the first one in the series, and I doodled a bunch of stuff from/for that fic!

I rly like the whole Overcome series, 'cause that is something I would have found incredibly comforting and cathartic way back in the day- and it is still really helpful to read sometimes. Highly recommend reading it if you like LU, Legend, the That Broken Promise AU, or just want to have some feels and want to hug the dang dude.

Please leave a kind comment if you read them! Reblogging and comments are the best way to help creators of all sorts!

Hi again, @twistedstoryteller!

Okay, LU recs off the top-ish of my head in a sort of organized-ish order:

AUTHORS!

Angst, Action, and Mixed:

Faerule and the No Good Very Bad Road Trip by ImperialKatwala, PolynomialPandemic is a great "Chain Meets Hyrule" fic.

@gintrinsic-writing is phenomenal. A gem. I love all of it, but check the tags to find ones you're comfortable with. AO3 Blood Like Yours is my personal favorite, and the sequel Like Fire in Your Veins by @pocketramblr are both about Hyrule's Blood Curse from Adventures of Link. M for Violence for most of them, but check tags to be sure. If you like it, consider also...

Protector of the Golden Power by Sillus Hyrule centric but he has a different secret.

@somer-writes has a lot of great short one shots, some darker than others. My personal favorite is a sort of character study of the boys at their lowest and how they recover called "Depletion"

For a Sliver of Sunlight by tirsynni: Warrior's dedication to his brothers makes him question his title as Hero.

What are You to a God Slayer by Secretlysheikah BAMF Sky

Brethren in a Cradle by Skyward_Arpeggio BABY!!!! It is adorable, if a bit sad at the start.

Always Darkest Before the Dawn (Linked Universe Whumptober 2023) by Skyward_Arpeggio because in general they don't go above T ratings and write excellent fics.

this year it taught me (lost and ambitious) by qar Also EXCELLENT writer. "Sky has a separate moment with each member of the team"

Whumptober 2023 by Arecaceae Great fics! Plus, "Each story will have warnings in the tags and the story notes as well as a 0-5 whump rating. The ratings will be relative to my writing, so my 5 might not be equivalent to someone else's 5. I don't write MCD, extreme gore, non-con, or extreme emotional angst."

Major's Whumptober 2023 by major_de_speed Major's are also quite clean despite the M rating which is more about the violence.

Linkeduniverse Shorts by Skyward_Arpeggio LU Short fics

A Royal Castletown Wedding by Skyward_Arpeggio This story is so good!!!!!!!!!

Whumptober 2022 by Arecaceae more great fics, rated T.

LU Whump Dump by UnexpectedStormy (ArtemiStorm) need AO3 account to read, but worth it! Linked Universe Whumpy One-Shots, rated T.

There's one I'm missing, and when I find it I'll add it here. It involves a cursed magical artifact that Legend messes with... it's intense.

Fluffier Fics:

Frosty Reception by Skyward_Arpeggio "Four’s glad to finally be home again, and he’s not the only one happy at his return." Cute fic!

S’more Stories by Ginger375 "A collection of drabbles and mini-fics for LUtober! Day 31: Costumes"

Sentiment by Arecaceae

nine heroes, one spirit by Imjustherefortheangst, uncleskyrule (unclemoriarty) tons of great short fics, all with G-T ratings

Finding Family by Tashacee "AU where Wild's scars are a lot worse and he isn't used to interacting with people. The Chain think their new brother is dope af and are determined to make him feel at home."

My Heart's Forsaken Me by sister_dear "Four looses his sword in the heat of battle, and it's picked up by someone else... Time’s aren’t the only secrets coming to light, and the gang discovers they still have a thing or two to learn from each other."

Ambush at the Bridge by JinxedRuby Very action and healing oriented fic, multiple perspectives on one event.

Dark Clouds on the Horizon by CubanCracker62 "he Chain ends up in Wild's era shortly before the events of TotK."

There are worse ways to stay alive by EliotRosewater one shots rated T.

Crack Fics:

Misplaced Heroes by notOK this had me busting out laughing SO MANY TIMES!

Peak Gremlin Energy by defenestration_nation "Fics focusing on various Links being chaotic gremlins"

Not Necessarily LU, but Adjacent or just LoZ:

Blood of the Hero by Skye_the_Lofty_Nutcase: (Wild) Link's parents have to step in to save him when the Shrine of Resurrection gets damaged. His parents are so well written, and Abel makes appearances in LU-related/adjacent fics, The Many Misadventures of Dad Squad and Dad Squad AU by Nancyheart, Silver_Captain82403, Skye_the_Lofty_Nutcase

which is part crack and part angst, mostly lighthearted.

Don't Worry Man, I'm from the Yiga Clan: Link makes a Yiga friend due to being a delightful chaos gremlin.

Feature MCD... but might be worth it:

And Still the Cradle Blooms by Solistrix: GORGEOUS literary masterpiece. The writing is unreal. It's descriptions and emotions are incredible. This is more like finding the meaning in eventual death, so of the three here I suspect you'll like this one best as far as not being too hurt by the character's mentioned end.

This is an Adjuration: I'll be real, this is full of action and excitement but yes, it has MCD and is making me cry, but it's also REEEEAAALLY good!

Blood Drops on Roses by HotCheetohatred Fantastic storytelling! Wild centric, Twi is big brother but from day one of Wild's journey. Unreliable young Wild as narrator is an absolute delight. Unfinished, no MCD yet, but it's in the tags so no promises.

Modern AUs for not-big-on-modern-au fans:

As a fellow not-seeker of modern AUs, I personally have enjoyed the following

@skyward-floored Incredibles AU

Wild’s Wolf by HotCheetoHatred "Modern AU where young Wild is a feral forest child, raised by Wolf Twilight. He is captured, separated from Twilight, and put under observation. Time helps him escape." Unfinished, and I admit personal bias here because HotCheetoHatred is my BETA reader.

ARTISTS!!!

@ovegakart: amazing action, gut-busting humor, and captivating storytelling! Does comics

@la-sera: beautiful, ethereal, and gorgeous illustrations and a great storyteller, loves downfall duo but does every one of the boys justice

@dfanart: HILARIOUS and such heartfelt emotions on them boys.

@kikker-oma great art from fluff to whump to action

@1caru has so many fluffy LU gems!

@linderosse has a Zelda's meet AU, does LU, and much more!

@lele5429 great illustrations and abstract pieces of LU fanart.

@theecholegend hahaha... arson.

@ikaishere has so many cute LU ones.

@thepinklink fabulous LU character sketches

@hiimgin BIAS! I got to work with them and they are FABULOUS!

@pluviatrix has art for their fic And Still the Cradle Blooms

@cherrypaii has fantastic illustrations of these boys!

AND MANY, MANY MORE!

(Commenters, please add artists I forgot. I know there are a ton Im missing!!)

Hope this helps you feel welcome!

Hello ! I wonder, do you have some good wild angst fics ?

Thank you !

Certainly! I’ve written a few myself, so here’s a mix of ones I’ve written and ones by other people.

I know there’s a lot of good Wild angst fics out there that I’m not aware of (and I’m sick today so I didn’t go looking too hard, I know there’s good ones I’ve read that I didn’t put here 😅), so if people have good ones to share please do!

And of course, mind the tags on all of these :)

By me:

Muffled screams/magical exhaustion — Wild gets Twilight’s shadow crystal inflicted on him against his will. Part 1 and part 2 (there’s an earlier part that doesn’t focus on Wild as well that’s here)

Collapse — Warriors and Wild get buried under a cave. Focused on Warriors but there’s plenty of Wild angst as well.

Make it stop — Wild gets cursed, and is forced to repeatedly relieve a twisted memory.

By others:

Air by enjolras_out — a spooky swamp and hallucinations Wild is not handling well. Nobody has a good time.

Beautiful teal flames by Mintyy_Fresh — Mipha’s grace angst, I like the description and effects of it on Wild here a lot.

What’s the opposite of tunnel vision? by enjolras_out — Wild and Hyrule go wandering. It doesn’t go well.

Taste of chaos by Lalalando — Wild gets a bonk on the head. Nice hurt/comfort.

Oranges and yellows by quirkle— Wild vs monsters and an icy lake. The icy lake does its best to win.

Kids protecting kids by quirkle — Wild and Legend attempt to escape from a cave-in.

hey Somer!! I was wondering if you had any Lu fanfic recommendations? I read so quickly I’ve caught up on all the stories I’m following 🥲

i have A LOT so heres some from people I'm not biased towards XD:

Warriors' Disasster Saga by Arggie - a very funny and well written crack fic

Heart Made of Glass and Mind of Stone by FirefliesNightcore - an extremely good converged timeline au which is time centric

Heart on Your Armour by C_C_Cherry and Jade_Green - Twi angst :)

Stubborn by Skyward_Arpeggio - a very good sickfic with lots of comfort

Stand Not at My Grave by Glau - good Twi angst and some really good relationship stuff

LU in Healthcare by Skye_the_Lofty_Nutcase - modern au healthcare setting and wildly cozy

People I AM biased towards:

Blood Drops on Roses (and associated works) by @hotcheetohatredwastaken - calling this a wild meets the chain fic doesn't do it justice. centers a lot on twi and wild's relationship

twilight talks by @rosehipandroots - a series of twi angst fics :D

Visions of a Calling by @wanderlustmagician - a modern au fic with a lot of fun canon nods

Authenticity by @arecaceae175 - a really genuine fic wherein wild is autistic

Here Now by @needfantasticstories - a really sweet fluff fic

ofc i have bookmarks on my prof to look through too but these are ones that i read/reread a lot <3

also im sorry if i missed anyone/anything XD i read a lot of fic lmao

considering your love of warriors, do you have any fic recs?

There are SO many amazing fics out there, and this is gonna sound INSANE coming from me but most of the fics I read are about Twilight 😭

There was this one fic series I read and loved and I can’t find it, but it was about Legend and Warriors and they kinda became buddies who had each other’s backs? All I remember was something about chess and Legend called Warriors Bluebell (and if anyone can find this fic for me i will owe you my LIFE i think about it AT LEAST once a every two weeks and I think I read it months ago) Edit: Two super awesome people found it, it’s called Broken Together by Flamingidiot on ao3

and then i gotta recommend one of my top 3 favorite fics EVER of all time and that would be Level One by LightBluScrubs on ao3. (IT IS COMPLETE!!)

It was written by someone who works in a trauma center and it’s an au about all of them working in a hospital and they all have their different roles to play to get Wild up and running again after a motorcycle accident. Twilight is the main character i think? But it focuses on all of them really, and you do get different povs. and I’m gonna be 100% honest: I wasn’t the biggest fan of modern au’s UNTIL I READ THIS FIC. (and, yknow, now I have au’s i myself am writing- don’t come at me, i’ve learned the error in my ways, i absolutely love au’s now they’re absolutely fantastic and amazing, i’ve learned i’ve repented)

is it intense at times? absolutely, and it’s a lot of medical stuff, but good lord above i reread it several times a months and i’ll probably go reread it after i hit the post button- the character relationships in that fic are so GOOD. AND ALL THEIR ROLES???? PERFECT. that kinda stuff ain’t for everyone but i love that fic so much and it’s absolutely everything to me, i love it DEARLY the ending made me tear up in the BEST way, it’s fantastic

Fic Rec List

AO3 is holding a Feedback Fest for International Fanworks Day! I saw @zarvasace make a fic rec list for it, so here's one of my own! Late to the party but oh well. Here's ten of my favorite bookmarks (no particular order) :D

Immemorial by schrodingers__cat - (LU, complete) Gift fic for me!!! It's one of my favorites of all time. Sky-centric, with all my favorite headcannons thrown in, plus Warriors and Time brotherly bonding hours. I love this fic so much <3

To Hold The Sun, To Catch The Moon series by @obsidiangst, @hyperphonic, and @softpromise - (BOTW, one fic complete, one in progress) Incredible BOTW AU fic. Link is Zonai (native people of Hyrule) and Zelda is Hyrulean, and they fall in love. There's anti-colonialism, anti-patriarchy, anti-racism, political intrigue, and so much more. It's beautifully written and I love it so much

Looking For Group by @tashilover - (LU, complete) INCREDIBLE modern AU. Wild meets the gang, and the gang is wonderful. I love the worldbuilding in this one

All that glitters by Pebble - (Bonus Links, complete) SUPER CUTE MINI AND MAGE FIC!!! I want to consume this fic every day of my life

Old Wounds by @minty-mumbles - (LU, complete) Wild and Legend have a chronic pain flare while traveling with the chain

The Nebula Brigade by @heroesspirit - (Heroes Spirit, in progress) Super incredible space AU for Heroes Spirit. Bugs. Cori Eras bugs <3

Shopping Episode by @zarvasace - (LU, complete) Incredible holiday fic for Shatterproof (disability au). So fluffy and sweet and everyone is perfect

Peppermint Winter by @musashi - (Skyward Sword, complete) Link, Groose, and Zelda experience a snow day on the Surface. Link gets sick and also has a lot of feelings. Those two are not necessarily related lol. My all time favorite skyward sword fic <3

#fic recs #fic rec #lu fic recs #lu fic rec #fanfiction #love these fics #so much love to all these authors #and every author in my bookmarks I didn’t mention #you make the fandom such a special place <3 #linked universe #skyward sword #bonus links #heroes spirit

God Marked.

.

Inspired by Chapters 3 & 4 of Odds and Ends: A Ficlet Anthology by @anthemxix . I’m obsessed with her work and haven’t been able to get these two chapters out of my head.

I loved the idea of the Fierce Deity mask leaving marks on the wearer but I put my own small twist on it.

Fic Recs 3

Some LU gems.

dog days AU by alternatemind Twilight is stuck as Wolfie when he meets the Chain; none of them realize he's another hero: a series.

Distant Times by Have_Kake A really compelling Legend and Warriors friendship fic, sort-of-post-LU with a lot of heavy feels.

Cadence of a Legacy by dezz The Chain meets Mask, and it's complicated. Full of amazing Majora's Mask details and lore.

Draw a Circle Around Your Grief by Pokegeek151 Legend and Four have both lost loved ones. They decide to do something about that.

Pieces of You Stuck on Me by EliotRosewater A wonderful character piece in which Time plays father and brother to all the heroes, but especially Warriors.
