    Summary

    "Why is this shitfuck pan-rotting pile of artifact-ridden, glitchy, nonsensical sewage that can barely pass itself off as a movie somehow a thoughtful criticism on the global rise of authoritarianism and well-put commentary on how young working class males are forced into the military? What the actual fuck? Why do none of the other reviews mention this?"

    --

    Aka famous movie director "D Strider" pays Karkat to review his shitty movies, and Karkat grows increasingly alarmed that they actually mean something under all of the mind-numbing bullshit. Meeting Strider, the biggest douchebag in the world, does not help. Also he keeps meeting this annoyingly smart human kid and his awkward/obnoxious but very hot guardian. These two things are entirely unrelated.

    Summary

    “What the fuck is that.”

    “It’s a-”

    “No, I know what it is, but what the fuck is it doing here?”

    Leon was really regretting giving Chris the extra key to his apartment. He almost dropped the pisspoor amount of groceries he had dragged in, settling for letting them dangle from his hands. He swept one hand behind his back and hoped Chris didn’t hear the clink of glass bottles connecting.

    But at this point, Chris couldn’t blame him for drinking. Not when he walked into his desolate, barely used apartment to the sight of Chris hovering over a glass terrarium on his coffee table. He was locked onto the little green thing tucked in the top corner clinging to the glass wall.

    A frog.

    A fucking frog.

    A green stupid frog with stupid big red eyes that looked like there was absolutely nothing going through its stupid head.

    “It’s a red eyed tree frog.”

    If you notice anything, it leads you to notice more and more

    The humans talked, throwing bits and things into the passage they called Boatem Hole.
    The humans spoke to It, gentle and curious. They kept It company, called It a friend. It didn’t understand, but something beyond walls and walls of frosted glass and impermeable fog whispered pained and haunted behind It’s eyes with a voice that hurt to dwell on, don’t you remember this?

    Summary

    Twilight holds the kid’s hands, sees the way his ring finger turns in just like Twilight’s, how his pinky is crooked, how the fine bones jump under his skin like piano strings, and presses those precious knuckles against his mouth. Not to kiss, just to cherish close like a breakable, vulnerable thing. Wild doesn’t know delicate. He doesn't know a gentle hold or a touch that is not a sword’s bite or a kick in the ribs. These dear hands are sacrosanct.

    It is in scarred hands and eyes of Sheikah-tech blue that Link finds his purpose.


    falling in love but make it familial and heartbreaking and still worth it to have loved and lost, rather than not loved at all

    Summary

    The group made their way over to the two Hylians, where the individual they had rushed to save was conversing with the newcomer. The newcomer was heavily scarred on his left side, and from the bow on his back, he was the archer who had brought down many of the monsters.

    “Hello,” Time said, as he nodded to them. “Could you point us toward Castle Town?”

    The scarred man blinked. “Nanda?

    The Heroes of Courage are spread across ages. Hundreds to thousands of years between them. It should come as no surprise that they are having some trouble communicating. But when they’re dropped in a world of alien technology and a language wholly unfamiliar, they really wish Hylia had thought ahead.

    Or, the gang-meets-wild fic in which there is an appropriate amount of linguistic drift between Links, Hylia does not provide Google Translate, and Wild is a linguaphile among other things.

    Summary

    It turns out that the death of the Calamity doesn't prevent more things from falling apart.

It takes a while before he realizes he might be able to regain pieces of himself, too.

    Summary

    Centuries after Demise was sealed in the Master Sword, he reforms himself to find that his Hatred Incarnations have been utterly useless. He decides to take things into his own hands-and in the process tears holes in reality itself. To save the Universe, the Goddesses turn to their last hope and send the Hero, as they've done so many times before...

    Except this time, they're not just sending one.

    This time, they're sending all of them.

    Summary

    “What happened? To your world?”

    Wild pursed his lips, staring into the distance as some memory the others couldn’t see played out in front of him. “Yakusai,” he eventually said in a hushed tone. “It is death. Many…” Wild paused, brows furrowed as he parsed through the sentence. “Many killed. No victory. Yet… we live.”

    ...

    The Chain has expanded their ranks by one member, and Link has a new name: Wild. But even with Wild on his way to learning the language of the other Heroes, he still has a long way to go, and their new ability to communicate opens the doors for a host of other problems. Ten thousand years is a long time, and what is “normal” changes.

    Or, the Chain discover the differences in culture (and place) between them. Includes miscommunication and language exploration, sentient rocks, potion-making, memorials, old legends and much more.

    This is some good soup. It's always such a treat to read stuff where authors are clearly passionate about aspects of the story and intricacies of the world, and this series is no exception. Plus, linguistics and cultural development are just straight up fascinating, so it's great to see it so beautifully explored. All in all, good fics, and I've got to reread these later.

    Summary

    “Let’s say you’ve been asleep for a hundred years and when you wake up you’ve lost all your memories, but you defeat the big bad monster like you’ve been told to, because a girl told you to, and because you were in love with her. And after defeating the big bad monster she comes back, only she’s not the person she was a hundred years ago. And you’re not the person you were a hundred years ago. And yet every time you look at her, your chest hurts so bad you think you might be dying.”

    He looks up from his breadstick. “Am I dying?”

    “No,” Beedle says. “I think you’re stupid.”

    All roads lead to Hateno.

    Summary

    Link was 17 when he "stole" the Master Sword. Now, he has been labeled a fugitive and left with nothing. Seeking some more information on his supposed partner against the Calamity (and maybe a little revenge against the king that declared him a fugitive), Link launches a series of heists on Hyrule Castle. These quickly spiral as his curiosity about Princess Zelda becomes something more, dragging both of them into an unpredictable series of adventures.

    There will be angst, there will be Rhoam Shade, there will be koroks helping with heists, and by Hylia there will be Zelink.

    Summary

    The Atsign Agency: run by Joe Hills and the zombie Cleo, they're here to solve all of your supernatural problems, hauntings, magical accidents, and also just about any contracting work or errands you need if you're willing to have it done cheaply by two unqualified odd jobbers struggling to make rent. After over a decade together in the city of Carrows, the two of them frequently see things and deal with things that are probably a bit too ridiculous to name, and have the experience to handle it, if not particularly frequently the money.

    When the mysterious (and clearly very rich) Pearl Moon walks into their agency, offering them a massive payment for a simple job, what are they to do but accept?

    Yeah, they may be about to regret that one. This job is going to be anything but simple, and the entire City of Angels may be at stake. Careful, Atsign Agency: the past is watching.

    Summary

    In which Mumbo crosses several towns, learns some creative methods of self-defense, fights some monsters, sees things no human is meant to have seen, befriends a stranger, steals multiple cars, has inconvenient moral scruples, grows increasingly terrified of his own culpability in the apocalypse, grows a spine, blows up at least one building, accidentally prevents a murder, and attempts to find his best friend in the futile but ever-burning hope the man’s still alive.

    He has to say, he’s so exhausted and terrified that he thinks he might just be mad?

    (OR: the one where, after most of humanity turns into a series of terrifying monsters, Mumbo decides he’s going to risk his life on an apocalypse road trip to try to find out if Grian is alive. Things, as you might imagine, devolve from there.)

    Summary

    Judge Roberta Field eyed the next case on the docket balefully. She’d known it was coming. As soon as she’d seen it appear in her schedule she’d cursed and debated “breaking a leg”, since it had been too late to have another baby as a way out. She’d convinced herself that was too extreme, however, and lulled herself into a false sense of security that she must be misremembering and it wouldn’t be that bad. So she’d decided to keep working and let it happen. And now it was here.

    The Bouchard-Lukas divorce.

    Again.

    It had been three years since the last one, which had to be a new record.

     

    --

    Elias and Peter are divorcing again. In trying to decide the division of their marital property, they need some witnesses to assist their respective cases. This is unfortunate for Jon and Martin, who would really rather be elsewhere.
