Fan Joy July Day #4 (Would you look at that two digital pieces and two mini fics in a row, prepping for this FanJoyJuly was totally worth the extra chaos) @kikker-oma @luckylectio

*deep breath* I’ve been working on this since April concept wise and I need you to all know I am UNWELL about this fic. I adore Dark Link, always have, but goodness LuckyLectio has a talent for making me even more obsessed.

Now I love all the Dark Link LU fics Lucky writes, again brilliant writing, but the fic Finding Friends in the Dark has me in a literal chokehold to the point where every now and then my brain has a mini seizure and I can think of legit nothing else for several hours.

It’s a chain meets a very hurt and tired Dark Link fic and boy do I love it!

So here is the front cover I have been conceptualizing for ages, and decided to post for FanJoyJuly2026! Fic linked below:

“I won’t even fight back,” he promises. “There’s no point, really. If I hurt you, or any of the others, I’d get killed anyway in retribution. And you said it yourself: I wouldn’t win.”

How this person knew the heroes enough to make pranks specific to each hero, means they probably know them…or they’re just a very dedicated historian with a mischievous streak longer than the entire history of Hyrule, and the magic to pull it off.

“Move, dumbass!” Warriors yells over the thunderous noise, as he tries to pull him toward stable ground. To safety. He brings out a longshot, but it’s too late. The floor is already shifting beneath their feet.

The great thing about vertical drops is that when I make art of them, tumblr's formatting actively incentivizes me to be indecisive about which version I prefer <3

(As usual, the fic is A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio over on AO3. Check it out, it's good :3 )

Bonus beneath the cut

Behind him, Wind cackles, apparently having claimed the slate.

“Unleash the swarm!”

Shouting, along with the distinct sound of wings and crickets, follows. Dark gives the guard a pitying look.

“Good luck with that,” he says mercilessly, and keeps walking.
