SPOILERS FOR CH 253 OF AKATSUKI NO YONA/ YONA OF THE DAWN MANGA

I drew this panel in my own style

This is actually my first fanart of akatsuki no yona ever. It's really surprising since this is actually my favorite series of all time, and ive been following this manga since 5-6 years ago, possibly more. I honestly felt like I had to make it considering what happened in said chapter

no text version vvv

in my opinion, because i literally grew up with these characters throughout the years, and reading their journey up until now, this hurts me more than what happened so far in Twisted Wonderland's book 7 (my other main fandom im in rn)

just a tad more (lies, THIS HURTS A LOT MORE BC ITS JUST BEEN OVER A YEAR OF ANGST BEING BLASTED IN MY FACE)

Sorry if the quality of my sketch isnt up to par with the original

As stated before, ive never drawn any fan art for this fandom before this point, and it's currently 3:38 am for me

[ofrandomthought]

it feels insane that I'd say this about anything that happened in this chapter but

this? oh this felt so fucking good to read. almost as good as I imagine it'd feel if I got to scream these exact words at soowon in person

Akatsuki No Yona Ch 225 Page Coloring

[kazumasamaanimesblog]

Yona sensed that something was wrong with the castle.

Also, I'm the only one who finds it cute that she sits next to him in case he wakes up and needs something😚!?

[hahaalaine]

Soo won doesn't care for gods or monsters, but is now interested in yona's supposed supernatural power? He seems almost excited that the castle is burning down, which is affecting her friends, but wants to potentially use her power for his own gain?

If I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt (which I really don't) I would think that his indifference to the castle burning is just a mask and here he is displaying actual concern to yona for discovering a latent power.

Yet I can't find it in myself to believe in his good intentions because he is greedy for information and is willing to manipulate whatever to get it. I just want to scream at yona to run and join yoon on the quest to save mei nyan

[alittlelavenderlady]

his duality is unparalleled

A Service to the King Ch. 1 (A SidLink Omegaverse Story)

Chapter 1: Help

Knight. Champion. Hero. All these words were things that one would use to describe Link, the savior of Hyrule and the one that took down the Calamity and then years later destroyed the Demon king with the help of the sages.

Never once would someone have thought he would be brought before the former king of Zora's Domain, asking for his help in something that didn't require a sword.

King Sidon and his wife Queen Yona had yet to produce an heir or even attempt to conceive. It had been months since the Demon King had been killed and peace had been restored once more. Yet Sidon had never made a move on his own queen.

The council was becoming irrate with the king, questioning his loyalty to his wife. Sidon promised them he did love his wife but Dorephan saw otherwise. Of course he loved Yona, but not in the way that others sought him out to be. He was sure that was for another.

Sidon never lit up around Yona as much as he did with Link. The fomer king could clearly see something there brewing within his son.

He was sure he was in love with the champion but never once made a move. And even more so now never did anything now that he was wed, despite not having a wedding.

But he wasn't sure if those feelings were there within Link. He was always busy and seeking to help others that Dorephan never got to see the Link beneath all that.

At the very least he just wanted someone to talk to his son that wasn't himself. Who better than to call upon Link, Sidon's best friend?

Princess Zelda had accompanied him, the two insepearable ever since the defeat of the Demon King and she had been found.

Though once receiving the request of help, her reaction was something he hadn't expected. She wanted Link to decline, that he couldn't.

That it was better that he not.

Dorephan sighed from his seat, looking down at the two of them. Zelda clutched at the edge of Link's cloak. Whatever had happened to the princess during that time she was missing really had shaken her up.

She wasn't quite the same any longer.

Link scratched his face a bit with that odd arm of his and looked up at the former king.

“I'll do what I can do help him,” Link said to him.

“Link!” Zelda said with a frown.

Link sighed. “He's my friend. I should help and figure out what's going on. If there is something bothering him that keeps him from being with Yona, then I should at least try to figure out what it is, shouldn't I? Besides, he's helped me more than once on much more difficult things, this is the least I can do.”

“But you...” Zelda began and then shifted closer to whisper in his ear. “Link, you could get hurt if you figure it out.”

Link sighed. He knew that she meant well but he had to do something. Honestly he was the only one that could do this. Sidon was never open to anyone but him.

His own feelings for the new Zora king had to be buried deep. He didn't need the council taking the crown from Sidon. He knew how much it meant to him.

Plus deep down he was a little selfish. He wanted to know what was going on. Receiving the news about Sidon being wed to Yona now had dug deep at him. He tried his best to hide it and he had been successful until one night Zelda had caught him lost in thought with a stray tear rolling down his cheek. Not his finest moment.

“It's a risk I'll have to take,” Link finally said to her and then looked to Dorephan. “I'll do this service to the king and help him. For the better of the king and the better of the Domain.”

“Thank you Link,” Dorephan said.

*

Link had a hard time swallowing what Yona had said to him as soon as they met. She had no idea of course of the feelings that burned within him. No one knew except Zelda of course. Link had made sure of that.

The amount of dread he felt of never having a chance had filled him. To be completely honest he had put his whole mind on the task of saving the Zoras to keep his mind busy. There were a few sleepless nights however after that with trying to mend a broken heart that Sidon had no idea he had broken in the first place.

Sometimes the news still ended up plaguing him.

Fiance at that time. And now they were King and Queen. Sidon had taken up the throne of being king and had pronounced Yona as the queen right as he stood beside him in front of the zora people. The smile he had to force had nearly cracked his teeth.

Zelda had learned of it after she had returned from her dragon form after all of those years. She felt for him.

It was no wonder that she was so bent on keeping Link from doing this task. She had been angry when Dorephan had told them what he wanted Link to do. To talk to his son about what was troubling him with his wife.

More or less Link had to convince him to at least have a child with her so the council would leave him alone and not start anything.

How he went about this really was a test of his own character. The right thing to do was to talk with Sidon, figure out what was going on and then perhaps offer a way for him to be happy but also appease those in the Zora court.

The wrong thing to do was to tell him to leave her and live a life with him. Of course he wasn't thinking really of that. He could make himself an enemy that way and since when did he have the courage to tell Sidon how he felt?

He had been haboring these feelings for years Who was to say that he would end up doing it now that the moment presented itself.

He had courage in other things but when it came to his own feelings he felt ike he was a wimp, someone who wouldn't dare speak a word.

Zelda was right, he might get hurt out of this but how he could say no to Dorephan after he had brought them all this way and practically begged.

They took residence in one of the inns for the night. Sidon as out on some duties out of the kingdom so it was best they both get some rest.

In the shared room Link sat on his own bed, taking his shoes off. He needed some rest after the long jounrey.

Purah pad or not there was still a bit of travel that had to be done to get there.

“Link...you are sure that this is a good idea?” Zelda asked, shifting a bit and rubbed at the spot on her neck. “We've been through so much and you deserve as little stress as possible.”

“He's my friend Zelda. I don't want to see something happen to him because there wasn't a friend here to lend a hand,” Link explained.

“But it's more than that,” Zelda sad to him. “And you know it.”

Link sighed, laying himself back down onto the bed with a thump, staring up at the ceiling.

“Even with those scent blockers on I know that you aren't happy about this,” she tried again. “I know you love him Link, and it'll only hurt you more if you do this.”

“I'm unhappy either way Zelda,” Link told her wit ha frown. “I may as well just do the one route where it helps others.”

“Oh youre always so stubborn,” Zelda huffed at him. “There has to be another way. There is always another way to things.”

Link frowned at her and she flushed, turning her gaze away. She knew he was upset about the whole dragon thing, being the only way. Though he was sure there had to be another some how than putting herself through that.

It was behind them now. He wasn't about to keep holding that over her head. It had only been a few months since he had helped restore her normal form so it was still rather fresh in his mind at the moment.

“At least in this scenario I would think there would be another way,” Zelda said. “I just don't want to see you get hurt.”

“I know,” Link finally sighed. “But I wanted to at least to try to help.”

With her nagging him he wasn't sure still what he wanted to do.

“Just promise me one thing,” Zelda said as Link peered at her from across the room. She rung her hands together, looking scared and nervous.

Zelda had been through way too much. She of all people deserved a vacation. And he understood why she was so protective.

After seeing the passing of two people that she had grown closests to in the past she wanted to keep all those she cared for alive and happy.

Hopefully one day she'd ease her own mind, for now Link would need to do that for her. But he knew this was something he had to do.

“What is that?” Link asked her.

“Promise me that if things are going wrong with whatever it is you're planing...that you'll leave it behind. That you will save your own skin instead of doing the good of the people,” She finally finished in a breath.

Link sighed but nodded, turning to stare up at the celing.

“I'll do my best to take care of myself.”

*

Around dusk was when Link finally woke up from a nap and set out to find the king. He had been told by night fall Sidon would be returning back to the domain and from the buzz that was going on around he was sure he had returned.

He stepped around the statue dedicated to himself and Sidon, gazing up at the stone that captured a moment that would forever be buried in his mind.

He was surprised they had moved Mipha's statue and placed this one there. He didn't think he was nearly as great as Sidon or his sister after everything yet here he was.

He felt small fingers touch his arm and he glanced down to see a young zora admiring his arm as if it was some strange thing.

He felt a little uneasy especially when his mother came up and took her son by the hand to keep him from touching.

“So sorry Sir Link,” the zora woman said to him. “I didn't mean for him to touch your...arm.”

“It's alright,” Link said, watching as the mother and child stepped away. Link idly rubbed his arm with a sigh. Still to this day people still thought it weird.

And still he was self concious about it.

“Well I for one think it's extrodinary,” came a familiar voice behind him. Link smiled a bit, turning to see the king.

Sidon beamed at him, stepping away from Yona who had walked next to him.

It was more than obvious of the distance between the two of them, but still Yona laid a gentle face on herself to try to hide how she felt.

“Your majesties,” Link said, bowing to the two of them. Yona nodded her head as a sign back to Link that she acknowledged him.

Sidon however wrapped him up in his arms and hugged him tightly, lifting him up to his full height. Link let out a laugh, hugging him.

“Such formalities. You don't have to use them with me,” Sidon beamed, setting him back on his feet. “What brings you to the Domain?”

Link glanced at Yona who walked off with a frown.

“We need to talk,” Link said to Sidon.

AEUEHEHDHDJ THE CHAPTER UPDATED AND I'M IN TEARSSSS

spoilers for akatsuki no yona ch 257

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?!?!? YONA WE'RE GOING TO SAVE THEM ALL 😭 😭 😭

link for manga for those who wanna read it too:

[akaneenaka33]

YONA. STOP HAVING WEIRD DREAMS. (Ch 250+ spoilers)

Not only is she predicting Hak's death! But if that dream with Hiryuu! Really did take her to the past!! Then Yona is indirectly/directly at fault!! For the dragon cycle/generations!!! AND Zeno's immortality!!! LOVE YOU GIRLY POP BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!!

Zeno's gonna be so peeved when/if he finds out. Maybe this could also be part of his motive to kill Hak/attack Yona??? Idk man- I want to see the other dragons again, and I get it's a time loop bc without Yona none of the series would be in existence, but still. As an avid Princess Yona fan, it was a kind of selfish choice. This hypothetically doesn't bode well with my favorite dragon (*cough ZENO BELOVED couGH*), so therefore; it doesn't bode well with me.

[kazumasamaanime]

Hak my boyyyyy finally action.... I can't wait a whole month 😭😭 why KUSA 😭😭😭

[thoughtfulstudentsalad]

Aww poor Yona (ch 242 spoilers and rough translation) DON’T READ UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO

Ahhhh the 35th division (soldiers) came there to congratulate Hak on his promotion (Kye-Sook gave) it seems! 

Them: Rather than the 35th division, you seem to suit that better... 

Hak: I...

Them: We’ll support you with all our might

Yona: They all asked me to guide them... 

Hak: Yeah... 

Yona: Even though I’m not very useful in battle... 

Hak: As if. 

Hak: Actually, you’ve done too much. 

Yona: I promised... to Su-Won. 

Yona: I told him that I would support him until the war ended. 

Yona: I also hold responsibility. 

Yona: But... I want to go pick up Jae-ha, Shin-ah, and Zeno.

*Yona is crying and Hak is wiping her tears, he’s so sweet* 

Yun: Is Yona asleep? 

Hak: Yeah. 

Yun: Kija finally slept. He’s willing to go fly (to Jae-ha right away) but he’s not in any shape for that. 

Hak: The Princess was doing her best in a tense state too, so she needs her rest. 

Yun: Yeah... I’m worried about Jae-ha and the others though.

Hak: Don’t worry about Droopy eyes and the rest. We’ll search for them as we advance. 

Hak: I’m gonna wash my face. 

Yun: Okay. 

*Hak walks*

Hak: Hm?

Hak: Someone’s... crouched on the ground. 

Hak: Hey, are you all right? 

Hak: I’ll call a doctor, so sit over there--

???: Please.... don’t call anyone... 

Su-Won: ...Hak.

hold the phone i just realized that yona’s dreams can be broadly divided into ones where she’s actively interacting with other people

[ID: two pages from different chapters of “yona of the dawn”. the first is from chapter 108; yona opens her eyes inside a dream and looks around a dark, empty space, asking, “where am i?”; sinha calls her name and she turns towards him. the second is from chapter 245; zeno calls out, “miss!” and yona startles awake inside a dream and rushes to his side, saying, “zeno…! what a relief! we were searching for you! what about the others…”; zeno is looking to the side, away from her, with a serious expression and says, “miss. it’s coming.”. end ID.]

and ones where she can only observe (possible versions of) the future

[ID: two pages from different chapters of “yona of the dawn”. the first is from chapter 254; yona moves to stand up, thinking “is this…a dream…?”; out loud she says, “zeno…zeno, where are you?”; she notices hak standing ahead of her, his back turned to her, and calls out his name, stepping closer. the second page is from chapter 257; it shows a dream version of yona surveying a town in a valley; her hair is long, and she’s wearing a cape with the hood pulled up over her head. the real yona thinks, “what is this landscape…? is that…me?”. general joo-doh says, “princess yona. we should get moving.” and the dream version of yona responds, “all right.”; the real yona thinks: “joo-doh? where is hak…? where is everyone…?”; inside the dream, she says, “it’s chilly here.”; joo-doh responds, “well, we’re in the mountains.”; dream yona’s response is depicted as unreadable scribbles. end ID.]

(i’ve seen some people interpret the dream in ch 254 as zeno sending a warning but considering that hak being there to protect yona is the reason he decided to go through with his poorly-thought-out murder suicide plan (“there is someone protecting her, even closer to her than us. i know i can entrust our king to the mister without worry. that’s why…i’m heading home now.”; ch 255) i find it hard to believe that he’d just. off him. well…maybe if he finds out about the conversation between yona and hiryuu but he doesn’t know about that yet so this dream has to be a vision rather than him consciously being present in it. semi-related side note, i’m also certain that the dreams are showing either potential futures that might never come to pass or out of context fragments that make the situation seem far more dire than it’ll be in reality.)

there are also dreams that combine both elements, the obvious example being in ch 257 where yona can’t interact with anyone in the past except king hiryuu, but also arguably the dream in ch 210 where she’s shown everyone in coffins and the palace burning but is also talking to zeno.. i have no conclusion here (for now?), i just think it’s interesting.
