#Samink

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

*Samus is lying on the ground, staring up at the clouds*

*Link comes up, standing over her*

Link: Hey.

Samus: Hey.

Link: You okay babe?

Samus: No.

Link: Okay.

*After a moment he lays down next to her, both of the sstaring at the sky.*

Samus: ...Do you ever... feel like... when people talk about you... they're talking about someone else?

Link: Honey, I'm a reincarnation of a long line of heroes, each legend surpassing the rest. It's basically guaranteed to come with imposter syndrome.

Samus: Heh. Yeah.

*There's another long moment of silence*

Samus: When people talk about me... about Samus Aran... it doesn't feel like me they're talking about. They always talk about me like- like I'm Doomguy, you know? Fearless, hyper-competent, unstoppable.

Link: And you don't feel like that?

Samus: *snorts* No. I- I'm scared. all the time. I don't know what I'm doing the other half. People die because I wasn't- wasn't good enough to- She shakes her head* I feel like I'm still that little girl, in the middle of a field of death, waiting to die.

Link, slowly taking her hand: I know how you feel.

Samus: Heh. You do. Don't you? ...Does it... ever get better?

Link: Heh. I'll let you know if it does.

Samus: Thanks.

*They lay there silently, staring up at the sky. They don't move, but they have each other. For the moment, that's enough*

When your rarepair ships have literally NO content:

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

Zelda: (Giggles)

Samus: What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Zelda: You're in love!

Samus: I am not.

Zelda: You keep looking at Link with those sad puppy eyes every time his back is turned.

Samus: There are no puppy eyes.

Zelda: It's all right, you know. Even you can be happy once in a while. It won't kill you. But your face might crack if you smile, so be careful.

So apparently Samus X Link is a ship I didn't know I needed until recently. Do you think it would possible to get something along the lines of them meeting for the first time and how they got together? I can offer about... $3.50?

(The Beginning of the First Tournament)

When she first met him… she wasn’t impressed.

It was hard to be. He was on the short side, with light and delicate features that could almost be considered feminine. At the very least, a teenage Legolas or Peter Pan.

But on a second look, she could see he was far more than that. Feminine features blended with scars and scratches that spoke of years of fighting. And his eyes… they were filled with fire. A warrior’s eyes.

“It’s Link, by the way.” said the elfin knight, taking her by surprise. His blue eyes were locked onto her, looking slightly amused. “My name. I assumed you wanted to know it since you’ve been staring at me for about three minutes. Or maybe you weren’t. It’s hard to tell with the helmet.”

Samus snorted. “Sorry. I’m a bounty hunter, force of habit to find the biggest threat in the room.” she said. “And hi Link, I’m Samus.” she said.

“Nice to meet you.” said Link. “And welcome to Smash bros, I guess.” he said. “And.. you really consider me the biggest threat in the room?” he asked.

Samus gestured wide, referring to all the others invited to the tournament. “Everyone else… they’re kids at playtime. You’re the only real warrior here.” she said.

Link chuckled. “I’ll take that as a compliment.” With that he stood from his perch on the back of a couch and walked over to her. “Up for a match? Seems to be the main attraction around here.” he said with a shrug.

Behind her helmet, Samus cocked an eyebrow. “Sure you can keep up? No offense Peter Pan, but I’ve got power armor that could rival a Space Marine. And… you’ve got a glorified butter knife.”

Link gave a grin that reminded her of a lion eyeing it’s prey. “Oh, this is going to be fun.”

(The End of the First Tournament)

Samus found Link on the rooftop, particularly the massive garden on top of it. The elfin knight was leaning against the trunk of the massive banyan tree that dominated the center of it, staring into the sunset.

“Penny for your thoughts?” asked the unarmored bounty hunter, coming up to him and sliding down the the ground next to him.

He grinned. “Meh, nothing much. Just considering some stuff.” He said with a shrug. 

“Like?” she asked.

“You.” he answered rather bluntly. “I’ve been thinking about you.”

The sight of Samus Aran, the hard-boiled bounty hunter blushing was a sight many would kill to see. Of course, Samus would most likely kill them right back, but that was beside the point.

“Oh, um… figured anything out yet Legolas?” she asked, lightly pushing him.

Link chuckled. “Sam… we’re friends right?” he asked.

Samus blinked in surprise. “Well… yeah. Of course.” she said.

Link nodded slowly. “Sam… I really like you. You’re… you’re special. You’re strong, stubborn, brave, not to mention drop-dead gorgeous.”

Samus rolled her eyes. “Duh. You’re point.”

The knight sucked in a breath. “Look… I’m not good with this stuff. Words, I mean. I’ve been trying… trying to think of the right thing to say.But the closest I can get is… is that you make my world a little brighter. Just knowing you is like a privilege.” he said.

Samus felt heat crawling up her face. “Link…”

Link leaned in. “Please don’t kill me.” he said, an kissed her.

The first few moments were shivering, uncertain. Then she leaned in, kissing him back.

There were no more words. None seemed to be needed.

for your weight in pizza, can we see some link x samus quotes please

Samus: Remember, if you die out there I’ll kill you for it.

Link: If I wasn’t so certain you’d find a way to do it I’d be pointing out how impossible that sounds.

Link, at the graves of Samus’s parents: Hello Mr and Mrs. Aran. I’m Link, your daughter’s boyfriend from another dimension. It’s… it’s a really long story. The long and short of it is… I love your daughter. I want to be with her for the rest of her life. Or my life, since I’m pretty sure I’m going to die first since I’m the stupid one. But anyway… Thank you. For being so good to her with what little time you had. My father taught me to seek the parents of my girl’s permission but… given the circumstances… I still wanted to let you two know. I know Samus still comes here and talks to you, but she’ll never admit it, so I figured I’d try it. I’ll stop bugging you now. Bye.

*Link turns to leave but he pauses and looks around as though he feels a presence. He shakes it off and enters the Portal back to the Mansion. As he leaves, two shimmering forms appear behind the graves of a man and a woman. They are smiling happily that their daughter has found someone.

Ok but, Samus and Link basically adopting Pikachu and the Inklings

Link: Okay you two, I want you both in bed by nine. We’ve got a big mission tomorrow and I want you to be fresh for it.

Meggy: You can’t give us a bedtime Link!

Blue: You’re not even our real da-

Link, demonic voice: Don’t make me make it eight-thirty.

(eight-forty five, Blue and Meggy are brushing their teeth)

Blue: I mean… you can’t go to bed too early right?

Samus: Okay, big mission today. Did you two eat breakfast?

Pikachu: Crap, I knew we forgot something.

Samus: No sweat, check your bags.

Pichu: Holy crap! Chocolate fiber bars!

Samus: Of course, I know how to get you two to eat your fiber.

Link x Samus - Samus isn’t great at the whole romantic part of a relationship. However she does make a great effort to do just that after Link got hit in the field,

Though she knew it was ridiculous, Samus always had a nagging feeling that she wasn’t… pulling her weight… in the relationship. She and Link’s relationship was healthy, and they were happy together certainly. But still, it felt like she was always on the receiving end of affection.

Romance had never been her strong suit (or feelings in general). Her previous relationships had been closer to flings that lasted no more than a few weeks. And that had been enough. No one got hurt that way. But this dumbass elfy hero had somehow wormed his way into her heart, and she had no idea what to do with it.

She had brought this up to Link at one point, and he’d laughed it up. “It’s okay Starshine.” he said with a grin. “Just be you. That’s enough for me.” he said, and then nimbly dodged a pillow she had thrown at him for the new nickname.

Then Link had gotten hurt.

She blamed herself. She hadn’t been there, and she blamed herself for not going with him. Apparently Wario and several of his hired thugs had gotten he drop on the Hylian Hero, and though Link had been able to fight them off he’d received several broken ribs and a nasty concussion for his efforts.

So after hunting Wario down and beating him within an inch of his life (with Zelda’s help of course), she resolved to get Link a gift while he was recovering.

But, due to her romantic illiteracy, she had no idea what to do. Her first instinct was to ask Zelda, but then she remembered she had a much more useful asset.

“A what?” asked Young Link.

Samus groaned as she slumped in her seat. “A gift. Something… you know… romantic.” she said, feeling stupid.

“… And you’re asking the thirteen year old?” he asked, a single eyebrow raised.

“Well Toon would just be an asshole about it and Zelda would go into shipper mode and Sheik would just tell me to figure it out on my own.” she growled in frustration. “And you’ve got inside knowledge. So to speak.” she said, crossing her arms.

Young Link shrugged. “Fair enough.” He then started to pace. “Still… a gift huh? Something romantic. Something to wish him a speedy recovery. Hmm…” he said. “Well… I’m good at music he might share that.” he said with a shrug.

“Music? Like… an iPod?” she asked.

Young Link shook his head. “No, an instrument.” said Young Link. He snapped his fingers. “That’s it! You’ll make him an instrument to play when he gets better!”

Samus frowned. “Is… that something normal couples do?” she asked.

“You to ain’t normal.” said Young Link dryly.

“Point taken.” said Samus with a shrug. “So… how do I make one? Is there a ritual or… something? Magic involved?” she asked.

“Oh sweet Farore this is going to take awhile.” sighed Young Link.

Link came too in the hospital (a too familiar sight for him at this point) and pulled himself up into a sitting position. He looked abut, and grinned at the sight of the various Get-Well cards and chocolates sent from the other Smashers wishing him a speedy recovery.

Then he spied Samus sitting in the chair near him. She had dozed off, a present in her hands. “Samus?” he called lightly to her. The bounty huntress jolted awake, but smiled at seeing her boyfriend awake.

“Well, well, looks like Peter Pan decided to wake up.” she grinned, walking over and giving him a kiss.

“Yeah, yeah, love you too Starshine.” he said.

“Don’t make me send you back to dreamland Legolas.” she threatened good-naturedly. But in the next moment she hugged him tight. “I’m really glad you’re okay though.” she said gently.

Link said nothing, but returned the hug and took a moment to appreciate Samus’s smell and feel. He loved her smell. It wasn’t sweet, it was a smell of oil and sweat, due to her long periods in Power Armor, that clung to her despite frequent showers.

He couldn’t get enough of it.

After a moment she pulled away. “Anyway… I… uh… wanted to give you this. Sort of a… get-well present.” she said sheepishly, handing the gift over too him. “Young Link helped me a lot… but uh… I hope you like it.” she said.

Link took the gift with a grin. “Thanks Samus.” he said. “That really means a lot.” Samus blushed lightly.

“Just open the damn thing.” she said, crossing her arms.

Chuckling, Link opened the box, and the started at what was inside.

It was crudely constructed, but clearly hand made. And with great care at that. It was a plain, white, flute. He gingerly pulled it out and examined it all over, feeling the grooves and the notches in the work.

Memories, unbidden, rose to the surface.

…

“Momma why do I gotta learn to play this thing?” he asked of the woman with the kind smile and old eyes. Eyes that had seen too much in too little time.

“Because, my little cub, when you meet that special woman in your life, you need to be able to charm her with your music.” she said. “Your dashing good looks will only get you so far young man” she said in a mock stern voice.

“Then I’ll play it for you momma! Cause I love you!” he had cried.

The woman with soft golden hair and gentle yet tired eyes had smiled at him. “I love you too little cub.”

…

“Link… Link!” called Samus, as she saw his thousand yard stare. “Oh shit. It… it’s terrible isn’t it. Shit. I’m sorry. I’m not good at this romantic crap. I -” she was cut off as Link slowly brought the flute to his lips and began to play.

It was a soft, gentle melody. One she had heard him humming to himself often. When she had asked where it came from, he just shrugged and said he didn’t know. Amnesia was  bitch like that.

Once the song was played, he lowered the flute, and she caught tears in his eyes. “My mom taught me.” he said quietly. “My… my mom taught me to play. She taught me the song. She was blonde. She had green eyes. I… I remember.” he was shaking now, tears flowing freely.

No knowing what else to do, Samus wrapped him in a hug.

A few minutes later, he properly had control of himself. His eyes were still red and watery from his tears, but he was smiling as well. “Thank you Samus. I love it.”

Samus smiled and blushed. “Thanks. But, uh, Young Link helped a lot… and… well you’re welcome I guess.” she said.

They sat in comfortable silence for a moment as Link gave a few experimental blows on the flute, then he turned with a questioning look. “Hey, uh, what’s this made of? It’s not wood.” he said.

Samus smiled. “Oh, Young Link suggested the material too. It’s made of-”

“AAAGHHH! MY RIBS! THE BITCH TOOK TWO OF THEM! AAAAAGGGGGHHH!” cried Dark Link as he writhed on the hospital bed.

Dr. Wily, their attending physician rolled his eyes. “Oh don’t be such a baby. Ribs grow back.” he said.

“R-really?” asked Dark Link through the pain.

“Fuck if I know. I’m a robotics Major not a medical doctor.”

May we start of the new year with a Link x Samus that could be like them on new years or something? I have about...$650

The New Years Eve party had been much like  atypical event at the Smash Mansion. Meaning it was a massive festival of profanity, alcohol, getting to third base in inappropriate locations, and violence.

In other words, a successful party!

Link, who had studiously avoided the worst of the bullshittery, extracted himself from the dog-pile that was himself, Cloud, Ike, and Incineroar. Near the end of the night, the four thoroughly drunk morons had decided to sleep together for warmth, with Incineroar acting as a massive pillow.

Link, nursing a crushing hangover, dragged himself to his room, intending to down Captain Falcon’s Hangover Fixer Elixer (it was essentially super-spicy curry blended into a liquid). However, upon reaching his dorm, he was greeted by a sight that drove any and all thoughts of his splitting hangover from his mind.

Samus Aran. Thoroughly nude. On his bed.

“Well, well, well. Someone’s up.” she snickered. “You disapointed me at the party last night Link. Best not do so today.”

As events unfolded from there, Link dully noted how he felt remarkably better.

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

How would Samus react to seeing Link on his motorcycle?

“Please tell me you didn’t get this to impress me.” said Samus, her eyebrow cocked and her expression questioning.

Link blushed as he lowered the kickstand for the Master Cycle and rubbed the back of his neck. “Heh, uh… no actually. It was part of my quest. But… does it?” he asked.

Samus smirked, and she had to admit that Link did cut quite a figure on the odd motorcycle. Like a combination of Legolas and Indiana Jones. “Depends, can you actually handle that thing?”

Link grinned. “Want to find out?” he asked, offering her a spare helmet that he’d bought that day.

Samus grinned.

Riding a horse was one thing. But this? This was amazing.

Her arms were wrapped around his middle as she rode behind him as he blasted through New Donk City. Internally, she was glad that her Zero-Suit was so durable, so she would probably be protected if they crashed.

She smiled to herself and tightened her grip on him, snuggling closer to him. She might have giggled a little as she felt him stiffen a bit as her breasts pressed against his back.

Smirking to herself she allowed one of her hands to drift lower, just a bit, resting just beneath his navel. She giggled as he somehow kept the Master Cycle straight as the inescapable arousal set in. 

Link snickered to himself. ‘So that’s your game Sam? Alright. Two can play at that game.’ He cackled to himself as he saw the perfect target.

Samus barely had time to react as Link rapidly turned down a side street, zipping between cars… right towards a car carrying-trailer… with it’s ramp down.

Samus’s last thought before Link hit the ramp were ‘I’m going to kill him for this’

They came to a stop at one of New Donk City’s beaches where Samus immediately hopped off and whacked him with her helmet. “Jerk!” she proclaimed.

Link chuckled. “Okay! Okay. I’m sorry.” he said. “But you have to admit… it was a Hell of a ride.” he said.

Samus rolled her eyes, not dignifying it with a response, although she internally agreed that the flight they had taken was, indeed, awesome. “You’re lucky I love you.” she said, right before playfully shoving him into the sand.

He landed with a yelp and grinned like a shark. “Alright Starshine. If that’s how you want to play.” he said. And with that, he threw a handful of sand at her. As she was sputtering and wiping her face he took off down the beach, cackling maniacally. 

“Oh, it is on you little gremlin.” she said in a predatory voice. And with a war-cry to rival the Amazons, she chased after he wayward boyfriend. It would be a long time before they finally collapsed laughing into each other’s arms, eventually drifting off under the moonlit sky.

Do you have any idea of how difficult is to find another person who also ships Link and Samus? qwq

Yeah. I know that feel bro. Now please, take this little bit with you to tide you over out there.

“You’ve never ridden a horse before?” asked Link, glancing at Samus. They were in the stables of the Smash Mansion (an addition purely for those like him and the other Medieval-era smashers to keep their mounts). Samus had caught him as he was tending to Epona, giving her a good brush and some fresh oats.

Samus shook her head. “Nah. My suit or ship was always enough.” she said. “Hell, I’d never even seen one outside a book till I came to the Mansion.” she said.

Link sighed. “Guess that makes sense. It’s a shame though, there’s not many things like it. Riding through the prairie at a full run, the wind all around you. It’s a hell of a thing.” said Link, grinning as he remembered his many horseback escapades.

He was roused from his musings by Samus. “What is it like?” she asked.

“Pardon?” asked Link.

“Riding a horse. What’s it like?” she asked.

Link considered for a moment, thinking up an answer. Finally, he spoke again. “It’s power. Nothing can stop a horse at a dead run. It’s freedom, like you might just fly if you simply lifted your feet from the ground. It’s trust. You have your life in your partner’s hands, and they have theirs in yours.” he smiled and patted Epona. “Sorry, got a little carried away.”

“That sounds… amazing.” said Samus, coming up to him. She halfway extended an arm to Epona before glancing at Link. “May I?” she asked.

Link grinned. “I’m not the one you should be asking.”

Samus turned her gaze to the beast in question. Epona was eyeing her with gentle brown eyes. Eyes that sparkled with surprising… thereness. There was  a presence there, like she knew more than she let on. “May I?” asked Samus. Epona didn’t speak, she was horse after all, but she did nod.

Permission granted, Samus ran a hand down the creature’s side, feeling the coarse fur. Epona gave an appreciative whinny. Link grinned. “She likes you.” he said.

“Glad I’ve got the horse’s approval.” she said dryly.

They both chuckled. “Here.” he said, handing her a carrot. “Give her this. She loves them.” he said.

Hesitantly, Samus extended the carrot towards Epona’s mouth. “Watch the-” Link began to warn, but Epona had already snatched the carrot away and Samus had withdrawn her hand as quick as possible. “-teeth.” he finished.

Samus smirked at him. “Feeding a baby Metroid is a lot more dangerous.” she said smugly.

Link snorted. “That’s because you’ve never been bitten by a horse.” said Link, rubbing his fingers unconsciously. “When she was  foal, Epona damn near took my hand off.” Epona whacked her human with her tail. “Hey, don’t give me that attitude.” said Link. Epona whacked him again.

Samus chuckled at the sight of her boyfriend arguing with a horse. “Give him hell girl.” she said, patting Epona’s side.

“Alas! I am betrayed!” cried Link, clutching his chest dramatically. “They shared a laugh. “Here, let me show you how to brush her.”

They spent a bit brushing the girl, Link holding Samus’s hands to guide her. After they were done, Link spoke again. “So… want to see for yourself.” he said.

Samus frowned. “See what?”

Link grinned. “You asked what it was like to ride. Want to see for yourself?”

.

.

.

A few moments later, Link and Samus tore across Hyrule field of Epona’s back, Samus riding pillion behind the Hero, her arms wrapped around Link’s torso. She was laughing, laughing like she hadn’t in a long time. Not the chuckles that came at the lame jokes her friend’s told, or at the raw cuteness of her Pokemon friends, but the laugh of exhilaration and joy that came very rarely.

Link stopped at a small ridge, pulling Epona to a stop. There they admired the sunset, Samus leaning into Link. “You really are something Legolas.” she said. “Thank you.”

“For you, my fair maiden, anything.” responded Link with that stupid half grin she loved so much.

“But aren’t you forgetting something?” she asked playfully.

LinK smirked. “Oh? And what would that be?”

“The knight is supposed to kiss his fair lady.” she said.

Link laughed, and obliged his heart’s gueen.

(Me holding a pizza toward heaven). O great one please accept this humble offering in exchange for more Samus x Link.

Your prayers are answered my child. Your Pizza is accepted.

Red Gutters, Part 1

Police Captain Douglas J Falcon stomped out of his car and up to his officers. As he did, he took a moment to give the scenery a passing eye. They were in a bad part of town, if the disgusted looks and dirty streets were anything to go by.

Falcon just shook his head in disgust. Once upon a time the badge got you respect. Now it just got you fear and hate. Because a couple racist bastards who should never have been cops in the first place got trigger happy.

The street was already swarming with cops, and his lieutenant, Richter Belmont, some wet-behind the ears grandson of the mayor was waiting for him.

“Report.” he snapped. Richter at first said nothing, merely depositing a cup of coffee in Falcon’s hand. Falcon gratefully sucked down a good fourth of it down. “Thanks kid. Report.” he said.

“We’ve got bodies. Seventeen of them.” said Richter.

“Fuck.” growled Falcon. “We got cause of death?” he asked. Richter, in response, pushed open the warehouse.

Falcon was an old veteran. He’d seen plenty of action, and some pretty gruesome deaths. But even he felt his stomach heave at the sight before him.

“Ten of them were blasted with a shotgun. The rest were diced up with a bladed weapon. Cept for the last guy, they set him on fire. Then cut his head off.” said Richter, fighting back the nausea in his voice.

Falcon too a moment to collect himself before speaking again. “Do we have ID on the bodies?” he asked.

Richter nodded. “Captain, you are looking at the core leadership of the Downtown Pirates.”

Falcon blinked in shock. The Pirates were one of the major gangs that ruled the underbelly of New Donk City, led by a madman named Ridley. “Ridley’s management?” he asked

Richter nodded once more. “Three guesses as to who the human torch is over there.” he offered.

Falcon felt his stomach drop down into his intestines. “Don’t tell me.” he said.

“Yup. Ridley himself. Barney the Roid-Rage Dinosaur is no more.” said Richter, lighting up a cigarette.

Falcon felt his head swimming. The shitstorm this would cause. the chaos that would reign as Ridley’s place in the city would be rushed to be filled by his competitors. This was going to be the biggest monkey wrench in the system since Commissioner Mario blew Kingpin Bowser out a three story window back when he had been Captain Mario.

“Who the fuck could have done this?!”

Samus Aran, clad in nothing but one of her boyfriend’s shirts, that was far too small for her judging by the way it strained against her arm muscles and bust, crawled out of bed. Dawn was breaking over the city, the light shining through the ceiling to floor window in Link’s apartment.

The Dawn of a New Day.

Link, her lover, stood by the window, leaning against the stone wall that bordered it and staring out upon the city. He was shirtless, clad in only a pair of sweats he had thrown on.

Last night had been good. Their tip had been right. Ridley had been meeting with his core leadership. Enforcers, dealers, and corrupt cops all together for one night It had been a hell of a party.

Lighting the bastard who had murdered her parents and tried to sell her on the flesh market on fire had been one of the best experiences of her life. His screams had been like music to her ears. Link had left that one for her to deal with while he mopped up the survivors of their blitz attack and raided the warehouse for anything of use.

She was looking forward to using that sniper rifle Ridley had had tucked away.

But the war was just beginning for them.

Samus came up behind him and snaked her arms around his neck. “Has it hit the news yet?” she asked.

Link shook his head. “No, But old Commissioner Mario can’t keep it hushed up forever. It’ll leak sooner or later. Doesn’t matter. The fight’s just beginning.”

She spun him around and kissed him. “Are you okay?” he asked after the kiss ended.

Samus thought for a moment and shrugged. “I still miss them, if that’s what you mean. But… I’m ready for whatever comes.” she said, resting her forehead on his.

“We’re going to win, baby. Ridley was just the first. Next is K Rool, then Wario. We’ll save old Ganondorf for last. I think I’ll shove him out his penthouse window.” he said. Then he ran a hand down her flat belly.

Flat for the moment.

“And when Rodney or Caroline comes into the world, we’ll give them a city worth living in.”
