What Is Ancient’s End?

Growing up in the Yiga Clan is all fun and games until the end of the world looms closer. For Lara, that means figuring out where she came from and what her family means to her.

Hello! My name’s Cam (any pronouns), and I’m the co-author of this oddly in-depth, very self-indulgent AU. 

It started out because my girlfriend had a crush on Revali and I am way, way, way too emotionally attached to these characters to just be okay with how Breath of the Wild left everyone. When Age of Calamity came out, we immediately fell in love with the brand new way the story went and, most importantly, the wacky hijinks of the Yiga Clan. We thought to ourselves: hey, these banana guys are super cool, what if we made our own characters part of their weird cult? A whole year, several hours of gameplay, and so much planning later, here we are. 

So what is this thing?

It’s a blog where I’ll be posting fics, updates, shitposts, artwork, and asks related to this storyline and Age of Calamity/BotW in general! 

What’s the general story?

Okay SO-

 We have this Yiga girl, her name is Lara, and she’s the adopted kid of Sooga and Master Kohga. In this universe, we’ve taken the whole Astor and the Yiga Clan thing and turned it upside down in the sense that the Yiga don’t actually care much about Ganon and are really just trying to protect their found family. 

(The best part is this is technically canon, because BotW states that the Yiga are more loyal to their master than they ever were to Ganon. We basically took that and ran with it because Kohga is so cool.)

Without giving anything else away, the best way I can describe the story and what this will be like is this: 

A collection of one-shots from an ongoing and continuously forming AU of Age of Calamity where Kohga and Sooga have a daughter, the rise of Calamity Ganon coincides with the events of Hyrule’s past more than you think, and everything is told mainly from the point of view of the Yiga Clan itself.

Wait, so this is a self insert? 

Yes and no. It started out that way just because we wanted to rp it, but honestly it became so much more. The character we added can technically be called a self-insert, but what is a self-insert if not an OC that you’ve just publicly announced is based on yourself? We all know our OCs are small extensions of ourselves in some way.

Either that or they’re just little bastards we want to study like bugs. 

Where can I read it/how do I get started?

At the moment, the easiest thing to do is go in order of the series on AO3, but eventually when I have the time to organize and decorate this blog, it’ll have tabs specifically for the fics, the artwork, and whatever other random things I decide to include here.

You can find the series here for now!

If you have any other questions, or you wanna send an ask and interact with the story’s inner workings, go right ahead! We have so much of it all planned out already, and if we don’t, you might just end up helping us fix a plot hole, who knows! Please comment, reblog, and ask anything you like! 

Anyway, thank you for reading this, really. We hope you have a great day and enjoy the future of Ancient’s End!
