Livmightlive - Well Well Well…

I'd love to hear you ramble about this Soul Eater LU au!

Thank you! You might be my first ever ask

who’s next? LU Soul Eater AU

Maze Runner AU Part 1

Sorry for the long wait to anybody who was anticipating this! Without further ado, here’s part 1!

Hyrule wakes up and honestly takes to things pretty well. He spends his first few days in the maze poking around the glade, (the safe center of the maze).

He doesn’t know yet, but the maze is shaped like the triforce. The center, empty, triangle a safe meadow free of any mazes. It’s cut through by a river and has a few clusters of trees. 

Hyrule, who doesn’t remember how he knows these things, is a good survivalist. He makes a small shelter in a small cave, really just a hole between some rocks. 

The maze has three entrances. He chooses one and finally enters the maze. Things are pretty simple at first. Eventually he runs into a few small monsters which he basically just bashes with a self made spear. 

After a week or so he finally runs into a ‘boss’. It’s a LARGE reptile that shoots projectiles at him. (It’s just Aquamentus for Zelda 1 fans) He manages to kill it relatively unharmed. The next day the elevator rises again. In it are some basic supplies, rope, a ration kit, and a small dagger. 

 Hyrule learns whenever he solves a particularly difficult puzzle or kills a particularly large monster he is rewarded. 

This is pretty encouraging to him and he keeps traveling deeper and deeper into the maze, exploring it from different entrances as well. He does this for a little over a month becoming pretty adapted to the maze, getting stronger and smarter. Unfortunately he gets really hurt one day fighting a huge bird that shoots lightning strikes. He catches a strike to his left leg and retreats. 

He’s left with a severe 3rd degree burn. He doesn’t know how he knows, but somehow he knows that he needs herbs that grow deep in the maze to treat it. So, cue him making a mad attempt to go get said herbs but being unable to due to his injury slowing him down.

He stops trying and starts trying to treat it in the glade but he just doesn’t have what he needs. Infection and blood loss sets in and Hyrule starts getting very sick.

Meanwhile, . . On the outside everyone, namely Legend, are starting to freak out because it really looks like Hyrule is on the path to dying a slow, fevered death. 

Legend makes a huge fuss and he is next to enter the maze. It happens fast and unceremoniously. He doesn’t tell anybody or say goodbye, he urges HYLIA to get him in there as fast as they can. It’s not until he’s in the chair and going under amnesia that he starts to think about the implications of losing his memory. 

When Legend enters it’s obvious he doesn’t recognize or remember Hyrule because he fully ignores him and immediately runs into the maze trying to escape. 

He does this for a few more days before slowing down and talking to the other dude. He also quickly realizes that the other dude is SUPER sick. 

Hyrule vaguely answers some of Legend’s questions but he barely has energy to do anything but sleep. Guilt and panic engulfs Legend and he starts trying to help. Hyrule’s wound smells awful. 

Hyrule tells Legend about the herb he needs and Legend works tirelessly until he gets it. (It’s basically nature's antibiotic). 

Their friendship reblossoms as Legend starts nursing him back to health.

On the Zelda side:

HYLIA is surprised when Artemis doesn’t assimilate all too well. She panics upon awakening and spends her entire first week hiding in one spot. Eventually hunger drives her out and she calms down after foraging a meal. 

It takes her another week until she even considers going in the maze. She doesn’t explore it thoroughly. Her first monster sends her fleeing back to the safety of the glade.

Eventually she gets a little bit more courageous in the safer parts of the maze. Upon completing a semi difficult puzzle, HYLIA sends her a care package very similar to the one they sent Hyrule. Unlike Hyrule, this care package does not have the safe influence. 

Artemis quickly pieces it together that she’s here because of a greater power and that when she does tasks that it deems favorable she gets rewarded. So she refuses to reenter the maze in order to see how far she can push that force. She wants answers or nothing at all.

So Artemis starts chilling. She starts building herself a base. She starts seeing what food she can cultivate inside the glade itself. 

After a month of Artemis basically doing jackshit HYLIA gets frustrated. They send in Dawn.

Dawn and Artemis have never gotten along. They never actually had a real fight before, not like Legend and Wars, but it’s always been a known thing that they do NOT like each other. 

Dawn has also always been more aggressive and headstrong so they think she will shake things up. Dawn has also been causing issues since Hyrule, who she was close with, got sent in so it’ll be good to get her off their plates. 

Dawn adjusts well to being sent in and Artemis hesitantly greets her. It’s obvious that the memory erasure works well because they have no recollection of each other and begin to get along with each other well. 

Artemis settles in Dawn giving her a tour of the glade. When Dawn asks about the maze entrances Artemis tenses up and tells her about her theory. She shows her the gifts that were sent after she completed a puzzle. She asks Dawn not to go in…

And Dawn agrees. She thinks it’s a worthy theory to test and the glade provides enough. 

So for almost another month Dawn and Artemis live a happy, cottagecore, life in the glade. 

HYLIA unceremoniously sends in Aurora who’s always been stubborn. It works. 

Shortly after welcoming her in, Aurora points at the maze and asks about it. Artemis and Dawn explain about why their avoiding it and Aurora just basically goes: Okay well I’m not doing that. 

And they can’t stop her. After Aurora starts running the maze Dawn begins to follow bc it doesn’t really matter anymore and eventually Artemis is just: “fuk u guys.” And starts running it too.

As always pls lmk what you guys think!

you guys ever read a fic and just think to yourself

“damn this person really saw the egg arc different than I did”

😭😭😭

I know bbh is my baby girl but pls 😭 if I see another wild mischaracterization or paper villain version of him again I will scream cry myself to sleep

Hey kid you want a job?

Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.

See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.

Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.

Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.

Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.

Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section

(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!

Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.

Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(

Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!

Feeling so genuinely honored that you felt inspired to write this just from my AU!

this fic is a lot of fun and I think it matches the vibe really well

I just shake my head, ruining my already bad bed hair. It's not like I need to get out of bed yet, as Arte--Princess Zelda made me free from my duties for the rest of the week, but she knows I can never take a break from my work for that long.

But having at least one day will be nice--

But as I say that, an annoyingly familiar portal opens up in my room, and I can't even lie and say I didn't curse as I notice it.

Of course.

Great.

Or

The chain are summoned to their 2nd adventure (2 adventures AU)

@livmightlive for your AU!

Badboyhalo fans come get your juice

this is so good!

HUH?? WUH?? CHAPTER ONE OF THIS TWOSHOT IS FINALLY OUT?? AND IM DROPPING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT??

Tw for (semi-graphic) blood, violence, nausea, etc. Read the tags, it's all whump. Chapter 2 will be all hurt/comfort so if you can't handle violence and stuff, stay tuned for that!

Summary:

For a moment, everything is silent.

Or: What was going through q!BadBoyHalo's head as he revives himself dozens of times in the recent fight in the cryogenic dungeon? What tole does it really take on himself and his body?

you guys know the trope in anime or other media where they have to dress a guy up as a girl to go undercover or something and he’s just so embarrassed/annoyed? I think in the chain it would be the opposite

Maybe the chain has to get in somewhere, maybe a Gerudo run city and ofc men aren’t allowed (this is with the assumption everyone in the chain identifies as male). Somebody, maybe Wars, is like: “alright guys… I think the only way we can get in is by cross dressing…. Is everyone comfortable with that-“ only to turn around and everyone is basically already in dresses.

Like obviously there’s Wild with his Gerudo outfit. Legend and Hyrule have canonically worn dresses. Time didn’t have a strong grasp of gender, especially gender norms, until he was like 10. Wind has a little sister, he probably plays dress up with her. I feel like most of the chain is gender nonconforming asf. Four was literally forced to talk personally with each aspect of not just his personality but his soul, he’s got himself figured out. Twilight is similar, he was literally a wolf, the clothing he wears is definitely not what defines him. Sky just gives me the vibe that he doesn’t think it’s that deep. And Wars is a dedicated guy.

and so, turns out none of them actually really care.

legend is just: “I’ve literally been wearing a dress this whole time.” Everyone kinda thought it was a fancy tunic 😔

kill the shift manager in your brain

I was really gonna try to write my bbh fic after all that talk and barking I did over complaining about the lack of bbh content on ao3 😭

like I have a rough draft for a one shot in my notes app and everything 🥺

BUT NOW 🥲

it feels so personal
