Hi! I just discovered your blog, and omg I'm in love with your writing style!!! I really need to go to bed rn, so I'll send in some asks in the morning, but for right now:

What rules do you have about the types of asks you'd like to receive? Like, what kind of rating (G or E)? What kinds of things will you/won't you write for? Things like that, basically.

Hi love! Thank you so much, I'm really glad to hear you like my work! In truth, it's completely slipped my mind that some rules would be good to have in place lol. Thank you for reminding me! I'll definitely make a more detailed post sometime in the future, but for now:

As for now, I won't write any NSFW or explicit content. There might be some slightly risqué things here and there, but we'll have to see.

I won't write any yandere scenarios, sorry! I'm not experienced in writing that kind of dynamic.

All my posts will include a gender-neutral reader unless stated otherwise.

I can write platonic, familial, and romantic relationships! When it comes to Wind, I will only write platonic and familial scenarios. Thanks for understanding!

Aside from those, just general common courtesy and basic internet etiquette is all I ask for. Thanks again anon, and have a good day! <3

kisses in public

>> includes: sky and four a/n: sorry for being gone for like, a year, but I'm back!

Sky

As affectionate as the Hero of the Sky is, there is almost nothing that will stop him from showing his love and adoration to his beloved. There is no particular reason as to why he kisses his significant other in public, he just does. He’s a romantic at heart, and if he wants to show you how much you mean to him and you both happen to be in public- well, that is no issue to him! Because of this though, his kisses tend to be incredibly impulsive and rather out of nowhere. He feels like the sharp sting of wind on early spring mornings, the warmth of downy soft feathers leaving you gasping for air. 

It was such a gorgeous day on Skyloft. Hylia had finally graced your group with a world that was fairly calm in comparison with all the others, and there was something simply whimsical and fairytale-like about being so high up in the sky. This wasn’t your first time on the floating island- you sincerely hoped it wouldn’t be your last- and the layout of the sanctuary was easy for you to remember. While the Chain were busy recounting Sun of their tales, you’d decided to peruse the Bazaar and restock on much needed supplies. 

“Y/N!” Your name rang through the thin air, and you looked much more ahead of you to the source of the voice. The potions seller waved her hand through the air, a wide smile on her face as she beckoned you over. 

“And good afternoon to you too, Luv,” you stopped just short of the counter, gazing at all the brightly-colored liquids scattered over the table. You swung your bag to the front of your body, prying out empty bottles as Luv continued to talk. 

“My my, you’re almost here as often as poor Link! Now tell me dear, what would you like this time? I have a flash sale for the weekend, and everything is twenty percent off.” She gladly reached forward and took the glass bottles off of your hands, setting them on her workbench as she started to make preparations.

“Just some health potions this time, I’m afraid.” 

“Oh not to worry my dear, anything for one of my favorite customers.” And that out of the way, your conversation immediately turned to the local gossip of the town. You couldn’t say you weren’t interested, and before you knew it you’d spent nearly an hour just at her stall. But what could you say? Learning that the people before you still had squabbles, embarrassing moments, and more, was grounding in a way. Hylians were always Hylians, with their problems and virtues and vices, you were all still the same, no matter how many centuries had passed. 

Unbeknownst to you however, was the fact the Chain was already done with their debrief. Sky knew where you’d be, and he’d started looking around the Bazaar already, and there was just something different this time around when he did so. When his eyes fell upon your form, he swore he could feel his heart melting inside his chest. There was something he couldn’t quite describe, seeing you talk with his people. The way you leaned forward to listen to Luv’s conversation better, the way she genuinely seemed to enjoy your presence and dropped all pretense of wanting to sell. Fi hummed gently against his back, and he snapped out of his reverie. He wanted to see this more. He wanted to see you feel at home with the rest of his people, and maybe he should start looking for a ring? A brilliant smile made its way on his face, and he weaved through the crowd to make his way over. It was Luv to notice him first. 

“Ah, Link!” She looked over your shoulder and waved, one bottle of half-filled potion in her other hand. You whirled around only to be met with lips pressed up against yours, the faint taste of pumpkin and wind reassuring you everything was alright. Before you could reciprocate, Sky had already pulled away, a scarred hand resting on the small of your back. “Hi Luv, how have you been? I feel like it has been ages since we last spoke!” 

And as much as surprise kisses were common, you were still annoyed with the fact you were never ever able to kiss back. Sensing your distress, your hero turned and gave you a small peck on the corner of your lips and- “Goddesses Sky, that’s almost worse, you little rat!” 

Both their laughter echoed throughout the market, and as annoyed as you were, you couldn’t help but join in.

Four

Four was never truly the type to enjoy public displays of affection; he always found them cheesy and embarrassing. Well, that was until he met you, of course. Now he could understand. As something as simple as holding hands and/or as exuberant as kissing in the busiest hours of the market, he now understood that love had no qualms about time nor place. This isn’t to say he didn’t like privacy. He was much more partial to subtlety: a kiss to your knuckles here, a peck to your temple there. His kisses were gentle, but they never betrayed how much love he held just for you. 

The Hero of the Minish, the Hero of the Four Sword, the Hero of Light. Four wasn’t one for titles, but they followed him wherever he went. His people excitedly called his name, waved as he walked past stalls, threw him thankful smiles or reverent nods his way. He’d normally be alright with this type of attention, but not when he’d lost you just ten minutes before in the hustle and bustle of town. 

“Y/N?” He called out, easily weaving in between crowds of people, his head swiveling this way and that to try and catch a glimpse of your cloak. Nothing. He pursed his lips, exhaling through his nose. You were both going to be late for dinner at this rate, and he did not want to be on the receiving end of Time’s disappointed stare. Just how in the world did you two get separated? You were looking at the same stall for the Goddess’ sake, he swore you were right behind him too. His foot tapped impatiently on the ground, nervousness starting to crawl up his spine. He doubted you were in danger, but there was still that slim chance- 

There was a small bit of pressure on his pant leg, and Four was too experienced to not know what it was. He looked down by his left foot, and leaned down as a small smile graced his features. “Hello, my friend. Is everything alright?”

The Minish waved their arms in greeting, gracefully stepping onto the hand Four offered them as they sat down in the middle of his palm. “Hello Link! Y/N asked us to find you, they seemed rather lost when they stumbled on us.” And oh, wasn’t that a relief. He felt a breath he didn’t even know he was holding escape his lungs, and he straightened back up as he cupped the Minish with both hands. “Thank you, my friend. Would you lead me to them? I’m afraid we might be late for dinner.” 

The Minish nodded, and they were on their way. 

Soon enough, he was guided to a small bundle of trees just off the main market, the sunset washing everything in a beautiful orange glow. You were sitting at the base of the tree, your knees pulled up to your chest as multiple Minish ran across the tops of your knees, crawling up your hands and arms to braid various flowers into your hair. You could almost die with how cute they were, and you didn’t have the heart to tell them no as they started building a braided flower crown atop your head. 

“There you are,” Four made his way to your side, opening his cupped hands by your knees. The Minish gently pat Four’s thumb and climbed out, joining their brethren in decorating your head. You couldn’t move much or risk throwing the cute creatures off your head, so you simply raised your hand in greeting. 

“Hey. Sorry for getting lost, I swore to myself I’d be right back. That turned out rather well, I’d like to think.” 

“It did, didn’t it?” He hummed in response, making sure the spot next to you was clear of Minish before he sat down. And here, with flowers cascading through your hair and Minish chattering away in the sunset’s dying glow, he was lucky enough to see the most beautiful sight in the world unfold right before his eyes. The hustle of the market was slowly quieting as more and more people started closing up shop, and as much as he’d love to stay here until nightfall… 

“We ought to go back,” he gently took your hand in his, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles as he brought them to his lips. He kissed each individual one, and you could feel the heat radiating off your cheeks, and it was only a little consolation that you could see his own cheeks turn red. “We’re already running late as it is.”  “Would you like to explain that to our little friends?” You tilted your head only a centimeter up, pouting your lips to motion to the frankly too adorable creatures sitting on your head.

And as much as you were both scared of Time’s signature disappointed look…

Four sighed, though there was no hiding the smile on his lips. It was in that moment you knew you’d won him over. He intertwined his hand with yours and leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to your cheek, and he felt his heart squeezing almost painfully in his chest. Goddesses, he loved you so.

“Alright, alright, but you’re going to be the one explaining this to Time.”

“Hm,” you hummed, gently squeezing his hand. “I think I’m alright with that.”

The chain travels to Travelers Hyrule and he starts finding one up dolls of all his new hero friends. They'll probably come in handy, so he'll hold onto them for now.

[lxnlxnranch]

Regarding your Triforce!Reader post, I've had brain worms about a very similar concept. Except the reader has the Triforce of Balance, with a slight bit of each of the other Triforces type of influence.

For example, they're stronger than they should be because of Power, but still weaker than the holder of Power. Able to hear the words of the sword/goddess and have visions, but unable to seal like Wisdom. And the unending drive to help others, no matter the cost, from Courage.

They traveled with every Link, helping to temper the more...impulsive side they all have. However, due to Demise's curse after their first journey, they start having issues. Moments where Demise's rage sneak into their mind.

The three golden goddesses (or Hylia, I haven't decided yet) offer Reader a choice. They can give up their role entirely (and not be reincarnated), or they can continue their role in each cycle only to be immediately transported through time to the next one. Reader, knowing the second choice would cause Sky and Sun great pain, asks that every time they move forward, they be forgotten by everyone they leave behind.

The deal is made, and Reader gets to take one more day with those they care for. Knowing they'll be forgotten, Reader spends the entire day with Sky and Sun.

Now, when the Chain forms, the limits of Reader's deal are tested. After all, they never left Wild behind, so he remembers them, but the others only have a vague sense of familiarity. Over time, their memories return, and everyone gets to be happy for the rest of the journey.

The end? Well, I think I'll just have to be convinced to write this as a series first. >=D

(Sorry for the wall of text, I just had to infodump about this idea I've had for YEARS that only got more complex with LU in the mix)

OH MY GOODNESS no I absolute adore this! The Triforce of Balance makes so much sense, I love it! I would read the absolute crap out of your mini series I'm gonna be so real. There's just something about giving it your all, loving so fiercely, only to be condemned to be lonely almost perpetually. It just hits my angst heart so well 🫶🏽

I might write something with Triforce!Reader soon, but I have some other asks I need to get to first. Genuinely thanks so much for sharing, I love this sm <3

Sky was a hopeless romantic, anyone who got to know him enough would tell you so.

He was brave and kind, a true hero at heart, and knew how to keep his own feelings in control... most of the time. If something happened to those he cherished (including his beloved sword), he wouldn't think twice before letting his anger show.

Or, if someone mentioned you, let his cheesiness show.

"They're simply wonderful." He would sigh, head already above the clouds as he got lost in his memories of you. "Their smile shines brighter than the sun. I should visit them."

Because of this, people tried to avoid making any reference to your person. Not because of dislike, but because most of them didn't have the time to listen to the young man talk and talk for who knows how long.

Groose never fails to mention how quiet he was before, and how you turned him into a "love monster" or something. If anything, he was your love monster and you loved him very much.

But, mornings were definitely the most difficult moment for you.

"Link, honey, I need to get up." One of your fingers gently poked his cheek. "And you need to wake up soon, too. Didn't you promise your friends you'd help them with preparing the Settlement today?"

His strong arms pulled your body closer to his, head buried in your neck. His hair tickled you, but you refused to laugh and let him win.

"It's too early..." Your lover murmured against your skin, his hot breath making you shiver. "Can't we sleep in for a few minutes?"

"Last time I said yes, it ended up being a few hours instead of minutes." He didn't move, he was very stubborn when he was sleepy. You sighed. "If you don't get up now, I won't give you any kisses today."

Stubborn as he was, Sky didn't take long to sit up. His still sleepy blue eyes were glaring at you for disturbing his peace, although you knew he wasn't upset at all. He looked quite cute with that pout painted on his face.

"You're so mean." He whined, leaning against your hand when you moved to caress his warm cheek. "I was so comfortable."

Rolling your eyes, you pinched his cheek. "You're always comfortable when sleeping, Link. We can take a nap later, okay?"

That was enough for his usual soft smile to come back.

"Sounds good. Now..." He wrapped his arm around your waist to pull you closer, faces barely a few inches apart. "I got up, that means I get my kisses, right?"

Sweet Hylia, he definitely knew how easy it was to make you melt with that voice of his, didn't he?

"I guess you do deserve some." Your words earned a chuckle from your lover, before your lips met.

Mornings were difficult and you'd often end up being late, but you'd be lying if you said that you didn't enjoy those moments with your lover.

Hey hey! Hi hi! Hello hello!

I too am a fledgling writer, so I wish you the best of luck :) I look forward to the many a great creations you will find at yours hands!

Are there any scenarios that you think about 24/7? One that has just this specific story beats, that you constantly reimagine to find the best way of hot to make it go? Sorta like "This scenario will have this character and this interact like that and it WOULD BE SO COOL... and then this could happen and AJWKDN3KSI"

I'd write down the scenarios I have in my head if I could but I find daydreaming about them just so fun I get distracted...

Merry wishes!

hello!! I'm so sorry for this late response, life has been crazyyyyyy But oh my god, yes. The one that is constantly on my mind literally ALL the time is a Triforce! reader one. That is, the Reader is also affected by the reincarnation curse Demise set upon the holders of the Triforce, because Reader holds the empty piece in the middle of the Triforce.

I don't know exactly what that Triforce piece is yet, but I'm stuck between a Triforce of Guidance or Triforce of Beginnings. Regardless of which one it is, the reader is a silent character in the LoZ games. They help both Zelda and Link throughout their adventures from the background, trying their best to keep the strain off of their Hero and Princess as much as possible, sometimes being a companion on their journey. At the end of every journey however, they are cursed to be forgotten by those they love. For example, I'm thinking Reader was a good friend of Sky and Sun, where they followed Sky down to the Surface and helped him throughout his entire journey- and then was promptly forgotten.

Because their piece of the Triforce is technically empty, they aren't exactly human. Most of the time Reader is a spirit taken physical form, or they are born as a human only to go back into the reincarnation cycle after their Hero and Princess seal Ganon away. They know what their purpose is as soon as they are born/manifest, and they are very loyal to their duty. Now, how does this apply to LU?

I would like to think the Chain gets stuck in someone's Hyrule, perhaps Wild's, and even though they clear out wave after wave of monsters, no portal opens. It isn't until they run into a random traveler that a portal opens up under them and throws them into the next world. Strange, but what is even stranger is the fact this traveler managed to go through the portal. Who are they, and why were they able to go through? Was this fated?

Meanwhile Reader is stressed because they remember all of their past lives, and in turn, all of the Links. How will they hide their secret? How long can they pretend to not know anything? How long do they have to hide their love for the Chain, and pretend like everything is alright?

This is what I think about daily and if anyone has any brainworms with this AU please let me know I would absolutely LOVE to hear them 🫶🏽

Dawn

Here's my first story everyone! I hope you enjoy <3

Faron Woods was always a spectacular sight, no matter which Hyrule you and the Chain landed in. The portal had dropped you off in Twilight’s Hyrule a day ago, and the relief felt by everyone in the group was palpable. His home was a bit safer than the others’, and the idea of cozying up in the treehouse next to the fireplace was sublime, especially with Wild’s cooking. And so that’s where you were, the sun’s dwindling rays painting everything inside the house in a beautiful golden glow, and you couldn’t help but watch your boys and their shenanigans from the comfort of your chair.

While the Champion was instructing Hyrule and Legend on how to prepare the ingredients for supper, Four and Time were busy playing a card game from Four’s time (Honeymoon Whist, you recall) by the fireplace. The rest of the Chain was outside, taking turns on the training dummies as Warriors taught them various combat maneuvers. All in all, it was a beautiful day, and you wouldn’t trade it for the world. You glanced back up at the dying sunlight and thought of the conversation you and Twilight had once. 

“Most people in Ordon think that dusk is a time for melancholy,” he patted Epona’s back as you brushed out her mane, attentive to your task and his words both. He continued, eyes turned skyward as if he was seeing something that you weren’t, “And I have to agree with them.”

Sitting in his home, listening to the comforting chatter and laughter of the group with no worries of death or injury, you found you were of the same mind. You exhaled softly, turning your gaze back into the kitchen where Wild was very carefully explaining the art of making rice to his brothers. This… this was a gorgeous sight, one you wish could last forever, but you knew that would never be the case. Never would there be a time of continued relaxation as long as the Shadow continued to haunt everyone’s days, never would this laughter go uninterrupted as long as portals continued to spawn across time and space. And not for the first time, you wished you were able to stop this all by yourself, to carry the weight on their shoulders and watch as their adventures ended once and for all. But that was wishful thinking, and the universe was never kind enough to grant such a wish.  The door to the treehouse was almost busted open, the sound of Wind’s laughter as he tried to run away from Warriors like wind chimes ringing in the air. He dove behind Time, sticking his tongue out as he wordlessly proclaimed victory. He did so much too soon, crying out in betrayal when Time suddenly scooped him up in his arms and stood from his chair, a sly smirk on his lips as he handed off the struggling pirate to Warriors. You giggled; he was just as bad as the rest of them, and you glanced to his left to see Four very sneakily peeking at the cards he left on the table. You were half a mind to call him out on it, but where was the fun in that? The door was shut behind Sky and Twilight, the both of them ignoring the rather hilarious scene in front of them to go straight for the kitchen, only to be promptly chased out by a grumpy looking Legend who knew exactly what they were about to do. He huffed and turned around just in time to see Hyrule stealing a bite of dinner, his eyes wide and rice grains coating his fingers as he quickly pretended absolutely nothing was wrong. Sneaky sneaky, you thought to yourself. And as much as Legend had a soft spot for the Traveler, he was not going to let this slide. He very quickly pushed Hyrule out of the kitchen, a pout evident on his lips as he sulked and made his way over to the chair next to you. Wild’s voice carried throughout the house: “No dinner privileges for a week, you hear?”

The Traveler somehow pouted even more, and everyone shared looks with each other, a silent challenge to see who would give in and laugh first. It was no surprise when you did, and everyone else followed suit as Time went back to his game with the Smithy, a single eyebrow raised as they started the game again. Oh, he knew Four was looking at his cards and Four definitely noticed, but they continued playing as if nothing had happened. Twilight walked over and gently pat Hyrule’s shoulder, a pitiful smile on his face as Wind came bouncing over to try and hide from Warriors, again. You weren’t surprised he escaped from the Captain’s hold. He dove behind your chair, knowing well that Warriors wouldn't make you move to get to him. The Chosen Hero watched all of this with a tired smile, and you knew he was going to fall asleep before dinner was done.

Chatter and chaos filled the air once more, and you smiled to yourself. These were your boys, and even though you knew this wouldn’t last forever, you were determined to make the most of what moments you did have.
