Prompts

For Gone Awry 2025!

September 6 - fumbling (first-timers generally aren't sex gods, and will have more enthusiasm than skill)

September 7 - realistic (decisions like taking a break to get a drink, downtime between rounds)

September 8 - awkward (situations like the cat jumping on the bed, somebody sneezing during sex)

September 9 - require working through or around medical problems (vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, chronic illness)

September 10 - require dealing with trauma (of any kind - purity culture, past abuse)

September 11 - involve kinks or fetishes that don't go as anticipated (a dom can't think of anything to say, a roleplayer can't keep from giggling during a scene)

September 12 - free day!

FAQs

What is this event?

Gone Awry is the Zelink 'sex isn't always perfect' event! Sex can be a lot of things, and this event is an opportunity to explore all of them.

When will it take place?

September 6-12, 2025. I'll post a prompt/theme list in early June, and some helpful references and resources over the summer.

Can I make something for (Link/Sheik, t4t Zelink, original legends, etc)?

Yes! The focus of anything made for Gone Awry should be a form of Zelink, but other ships (including poly ships, or shipping Link or Zelda with someone else) in the background are okay too; just make sure to tag them + any trigger warnings + #goneawry25 so I can share your work here.

Is there anything that isn't allowed?

No generative AI work is allowed -- everything should be your own creative work.

Since this is a NSFW event, participants should be over the age of 16.

Many thanks to @bahbahhh for loving the terrible Muzu just like me and @itcantbe for making my story as pretty as a proper Regency lady.

I really like the Zora's Domain arc although it's not as action packed as the previous one. But the characters really shine here and I enjoyed that we're entering the "cleaning up the mess" phase.

The Promise, Chapter 16

The sun had risen a while ago and put an orange veil on the refined architecture of Zora's Domain. Link leaned onto the window sill of Dorephan’s kindly offered guest room and looked out onto the already bustling pavement. Ladies twirling their parasols on their way to shop in the Domain's exclusive stores roamed the street. The women were greeted by a couple of finely dressed gentlemen who aimed to be the first today to take a sip of water from the spring in the middle of the town. The ball season might still be barely approaching, but the Domain was always a place to be.

Link had spent many pleasant months here, back when they still had a summer house on this exact street. Like so many things, their visits dwindled and eventually stopped after his father's death.

Did Zelda’s father own a townhouse here, too? Most rich families did, so he wouldn't be surprised. But Zelda would likely have brought it up if that was the case, right? Maybe not. Girahim would also know of any house of hers, so that wouldn’t be safe for them either. His thoughts drifted, imagining summer outings in the lush fields surrounding the Domain, laughter shared between his two favorite women, Zelda and Mipha, to Revali teasing him in a fake, mocking tone. Would they ever get a chance to relax?

Dear Zelink fandom, Legend of Zelda fandom, and others:

I've been involved in the Zelink fandom for over 20 years, and have always loved it for everyone's creativity and inclusiveness. However, I can no longer remain silent about a person who claims to be a part of this community, but is actually a hateful bigot who has been harassing and terrorizing dozens of people in the past year, many of whom I respect and consider friends.

Her name is Kaede/Dragon Princess (kaede_kairi on X/Twitter, kaedekairi on bluesky, mylonelydreaming on tumblr), and she has many alts she hides behind to send people anonymous, abusive, and often bigoted messages. She will target people for "crimes" including:

Being a multi-shipper (not shipping Zelda/Link exclusively)

Shipping Riju, even when portrayed as a consenting adult

Shipping non-human characters, even when they're fully-sapient and consenting

Writing a fic with a tag she perceives as "wrong", even if the actual situation is moral and consensual

Giving kudos on a fic with the "wrong" tag

While many of us in the community have tried to ignore her abuses for a long time, her recent messages have escalated to personal, violent threats. This is why I can no longer stand by and watch her terrorize the fandom.

(TW: The following screenshots contain upsetting language, including Islamophobia and transphobia.)

Kaede_kairi, you are not covered by your innocent fangirl mask. We have thorough evidence and proof of the person you truly are: A bully, an abuser, a bigot, and a hypocrite to boot. Get the fuck out of my fandom.

(For more details, see this Google Doc for a full extensive list of her known aliases, records of her harassment against over 20 individuals, and proof of her actual political stances. Warning: Contains many more examples of bigoted/abusive language.)

For everyone else: please note that although this is a callout post, my biggest goal is not so much to hurt her, but rather to tell everyone who has experienced attacks from her, or may be targeted by her in the future:

Don't be afraid. You aren't a bad person because of her accusations. You're not alone, and she is just one person. The fandom does not support her.

❓"What if she has a point about some of those things though?" She's actually just using those topics for excuses to bully people, as evidenced by how she sends hate mail based on an ao3 tag without even having read the story. Furthermore, writing or enjoying a work of fiction aren't crimes, whereas she is the one who's going out of her way to send abuse to people minding their own business.

❓"What can I do?" Reblog or otherwise share this post. Spread her name far and wide. She's involved in other fandoms (Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Sonic, Arcane) too, and I don't know their stories - she may very well have hurt people there too. The more people know about her, the less power she'll have.

Everyone can participate! I recommend picking one or two prompts but of course, I'll stop no one who wants to do more. Just take care of yourself!

To make it easier for me to reblog, tag @zelinktines when you post! There will also be an Ao3 collection in February. I'll share the link in time.

NSFW content is allowed. Please blur NSFW art with the 'mature' feature and hide explicit writing under the cut here on Tumblr, so that I don't hit anyone with things they don't want to see when I reblog.

Merry Christmas! This is a secret Santa gift for one of my SxF friends. Enjoy angsty/unimpressed Yuri 😘

I forget that most people ship things because they want characters to be in a happy relationship and not because they want them to have weird sex things with atrocious psychological consequences

“everyone interprets characters differently” unfortunately so true! thankfully I was blessed with an intense preternatural insight into their core beings (watched and paid attention) and I don’t have to worry
