Hello! I hope you're doing fine !

I need to ask about how to make a cake and how to break out of prison.??

Also what is the Shield of Legend?

How to Bake a Cake is a crackfic inspired by this post, specifically these tags:

This one is actually almost done, I just keep getting distracted by other fics lol. Here's a snippet!

“You used… massively powerful temporal magic to rip open the fabric of reality,” Time says, strained, “to get your groceries.” Dark Link shrugs, and offers him the tray. “Apple fritter?” Time’s eye twitches. He takes a fritter.

How to Break out of Prison is a fic I am working on for whumptober, so you'll see it in a few months. Time gets tossed in prison, one even he has trouble escaping from... his only company? A snippy and sarcastic stranger in the next cell over.

“How long have you been here?” A hum. “Dunno. I stopped counting,” is the worrisome reply. “No point anyway; there’s no good way to tell apart the days in here.” Maybe not for him, but for Time it has been thirteen hours, forty-five minutes, and sixteen seconds since he last saw his brothers. “It’s currently evening, ten days past the summer solstice.” There’s a pause, then: “…how the fuck.” His neighbor certainly has a way with words. Time shrugs, even though his company has no way of seeing the expression. “I have a good internal clock.” “…Does your weird clock also have the ability to pick locks?” He’d have called the question strange, if the ability to sense the passage of time down to the second wasn’t equally bizarre. “Unfortunately, no.”

Shield of Legend is a fic inspired by a combination of The Wondrous Sword of Legend and Every Other Star by ImperialKatwala and PolynomialPandemic. It features a Spirit!Legend, Hyrule, a missing prince, long lost friends, and kinda maybe accidentally causing a rebellion. ...Oops.

“….Link?” Legend looks at Time, confused, before doing a double take and zipping over to float inches from his face. “No way… Mask?” Time just nods mutely, his speech stunned as he stares, not daring to blink should his childhood friend end up as some strange illusion. Legend hovers around him in a circle, looking him over. “Hylia, it’s been so long! You got old!” The playful jab doesn't land, Time still looking at him with a heartbroken expression. “And you… didn’t.”

Thanks for the ask! These few have been gathering dust in my WIP folder for a long time... I'm happy to finally let a few snippets free. Hope you enjoyed!

Hello! I’m quite curious about “Darkbound” and “how to traumatize your friends in nine simple steps” and “LU gods au”, I would love to know about them.

Have a lovely day and Thanks.

Darkbound is me attempting a soulmate au, because I'm secretly a sucker for soulmate au's... In this, the Chain are all platonic soulmates, finally having found each other during their portal-hopping journey across time. The problem is, they have a tenth soulmate... Dark Link. Who is NOT happy about it.

Sucks to be him, 'cause the heroes aren't exactly known for giving up.

--

How to traumatize your friends in nine simple steps is a fic where each hero meets/befriends Dark before the events of LU take place. So they are very confused and hurt when they find out it's Dark attacking them, and aim to find out why. This one is on hold until we (hopefully) get a Dark Link reveal in LU, because it could affect the plot quite a bit.

--

LU Gods au is inspired by And the Universe Said I Love You by Mintyy_Fresh. I'm trying a slightly different take on it where Hyrule is just a humble traveller... who accidentally befriends the entire pantheon (the rest of the Chain) during his travels.

There you go! Hope you enjoyed the peek into my WIP folder. Thanks for the ask!

Hello! WIP games are fun! I would love to know about "The sunshine in your shadow."

This is a fic inspired by this glitch in Minish Cap where you can get a fifth Link color palette. I'm working it into FSA, where Shadow basically IS this fifth Link, but got corrupted prior to the events of the game/manga.

As much as I'm curious about what happens next in dark among the lights, I have to ask what the welcome to jackals fic is?

This is Dark Link and Welcome to Jackass is an April Fools day themed fic where Dark Link choses to prank the Chain instead of attack them, making for lots of lovely chaos and confusion.

I posted a snippet of it here!

[luckylectio]

So many Dark Link fics!

Since I'm obsessed with him as well, can I ask about these three:

A Dink Among the Links (For a second I thought you put ADATL twice)

This is Dark Link welcome to jackass

And How to traumatize your friends in nine simple steps

Thanks!

A Dink Among the Links was originally all the cut-content from ADATL, which I'm reworking into an actual fic. It's more fast-paced and crackish, and features a more feral/chaotic Dark. Here's a snippet!

(Time asking the group for ideas to solve a [redacted] situation) "...Anything that doesn't involve stabbing something," Time clarifies. Dark puts his hand down. A second later he raises it again, and Time continues: "Or bombs." Dark scowls, dropping his hand again. "You all are so boring!" "Why is he even allowed to vote?" Warriors complains. "He's evil!" Dark resents that. "I prefer the phrase 'morally challenged.'" Warriors just flails his arms around and points at him. "See?? He admits it!" "Hey, I'll have you know that I haven't commited violence in at least three days. I'm practically in withdrawl." "...You've been travelling with us for a week," Time points out. "Yes," Dark says, not seeing the issue. Time sighs. "...Nevermind."

This is Dark Link and Welcome to Jackass is a fic I was working on for April Fools day, but didn't get it finished in time. It's basically if Dark chose to prank the Chain instead of attack them, leaving some very confused time-travellers. Here's the summary:

“When I summoned you, Dark Link, I expected you to follow orders,” Demise seethes, glaring down at him with the hatred the god is so well-known for. “Kill the heroes, I commanded you. And what do you do?” He slams his fists down onto the arms of his gaudy throne, cracking the stone. “Pull pranks?!” “Distractions,” Dark lies smoothly, wondering if it is possible for a god to perish from high blood pressure. “To lead them astray from the Goddesses’ mission.” “I want them dead, not distracted!” Dark fights not to laugh. Well that’s not going to happen. If Demise wanted them dead so badly, he should have picked a minion that actually gave a shit about his world-ending nonsense. Besides, if the heroes were dead, Dark Link wouldn’t be having nearly so much fun.

How to traumatize your friends in nine simple steps is a fic where each hero meets/befriends Dark before the events of LU take place. So they are very confused and hurt when they find out it's Dark attacking them, and aim to find out why. This one is on hold until we (hopefully) get a Dark Link reveal in LU, because it could affect the plot quite a bit, so no snippet yet.

There you go! Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my WIP folder! Much more Dark Link chaos to come <3

If Dark knows anything about serving gods, is that the tasks are never so simple. They always want More. Usually more than Dark could give.

This one isn't directly related to any one scene particular, just vibes. Inspired by A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio, of course.

[luckylectio]

Doodle dump for A Dark Among the Lights!

Featuring:

The Floor Gremlin (watch your ankles)

Dark's Dramatic Bucket of Angst

Windows vs Doors (inspired by starlight-eclipsed's meme)

An oversized bread knife (will purify your bread of evil)

“Lake” Hylia

The Shit List (to be expanded)

The proper way to react to kindness

Assorted tombstones

[luckylectio]

“What?!” both Sky and him shout in unison, utterly shocked. Nearby, birds startle out of the trees at the sound.

Go read A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio! It's a story in which alarmingly few heroes are aware of who their patron goddess is (or at least haven't been keeping up with the recent lore updates).

[luckylectio]

The battle begins...

[luckylectio]

Our Linked Universe felons Heroes!

(Wanted poster template under the cut!)

Feel free to use the template to make your own posters. Put your friends up for Hyrulian bounty! They (probably) won't be arrested.

<3 <3 <3

[luckylectio]

Dark doesn't know why wolves in particular aren't welcome, but maybe it has something to do with the Twili magic involved in the transformation. Hylians are particularly superstitious about darker magics... but they like animals, don't they? At least the fluffy kinds.

Go read A Dark Among the Lights. Need I say more?

[luckylectio]

for @tashacee

this fic was wonderful

[luckylectio]

look at this lil shit omg

"Support the chaos even when you don't commit it" - Dark, probably

And then A Tale of a Darker Time Dark being a badass ✨✨✨
