#tldr the heroes don't even know what the fuck theyre doing yet so it's mostly just character padding and leg/wars setup

Hey...

I found your au but.. I'm so confused. Can you give me a rundown of what the premise of your au is? I read confidential bbut I feel like I'm missing important background info. In don't get what's going son at all

(pspsps hey we have an au blog with more info and au related asks go there, please don't send them to my personal inbox bc I'm not the only one writing this series-- @ageless-soul-au)

AH! Confidential doesn't have a whole lot of plot going on, it's mostly character setup, so don't worry about understanding the plot of that. But I can give you a rundown of the basic plot of the whole series.

Time travel! The heroes in Con don't know why they're doing what they're doing, so it could get confusing since no one is explaining anything. Some things will be explained by the end! But we're not there yet.

Uh. Spoilers for anything past Con???

The chain is trying to round up heroes from other eras because they've been told they're trying to face a Big Bad-- SOMETHING that needs their attention but only maybe Hyrule knows the most about it, and even they don't know the whole thing. But they have little devices that we call time jumpers or jump sticks, something like that, and they use those to move from era to era. They only go to specific set points atm, kinda like a device that's been child locked. They've been told to gather heroes and that's about all they know.

Later works in the series (that were written previously, sorry about that) explain that the Big Bad is named Mikah (non binary, they/them)-- they have a vendetta out for heroes, or just one in particular but they're so bitter that they'll take the rest down along with their original target. Mikah has employed two notable lackeys from history-- Kohga, the ORIGINAL founder of the Yiga from 10,000 years before botw (and his name was passed down as a kind of title through the ages) and Ghirahim, and I'm sure you know who that is. The way he is here again is a secret tho....

Instead of allowing Mikah to wreak havoc on the timelines (because they're a super powerful sorcerer who learned how to do that), a timeline-protecting agency from the future is set to step in! They sent out letters to specific heroes to notify them in advance and assumed the rest would get picked up by the chain as they went along. And they'll save the day! Right?

Enter Nadea. You might have seen her name float around the blog. She works for the time bureau and has met the heroes. Is she supposed to be there...? Nnnnnnnooooo.... See, the heroes were cut kinda a shit deal and she knows that and is set to make it right, so... she is interfering. Her bosses do not know she's there and she prefers to keep it that way. But she's here to help in whatever way she can!! (without spoiling too much for them)

For the rest, more is explained in Eye for an Eye, as well as Love and Trust (mostly the latter bc the Ganondorf Thing is explained and Mikah is extrapolated on). But yeah!!! That's basically what's going on in the Beginning Conflicts of the au, which don't actually pick up until E4E. (Technically Grace Period, but our rewrite (and expansion) of that will be our next project, and Con is almost over so that's soonish.)

Hooooopefully that cleared some things up? Let us know if you have more questions on @ageless-soul-au (that we can answer without spoilers lmao)
