I've been writing Linked Universe content for more than 4 years now, which is kind of crazy to think about, but now I have a Tumblr. You may know me for some things I've written, or the opinions I occasionally put into the LU Discord over characterization. I'm not sure whether I'll do that latter thing here, but I'll definitely talk about the fics.
My AO3 can be found here.
Things I've done:
Forging A Chain
Forging A Chain is, to me, my main project in the LU fandom. It was originally intended to let me dip my toes into writing LU content and getting myself familiar with the characters. It's grown into much more than that and has basically taken over most of my creative impulses for it. The basic premise is that the Links join up individually in order of the release date of their first game.
A Hyrule to the Past - Hyrule meets Legend. I have opinions on this fic that I may talk about at some point.
The Boy with Many Masks - my current project. Hyrule and Legend meet a pre-Termina Hero of Time, who then goes through all of MM and then joins the group as Mask.
Four's A Crowd - Four joins. Legend has a massive crisis due to his experiences in the Palace of the Four Sword.
The Winds of Time - Wind joins, problems are had, the meaningfulness of free will in a setting with destiny is discussed. Perpetually on hold and will continue being on hold until I leave rewrite purgatory.
Other in-progress fics
Defined loosely as stuff that I've started that I at least intend to continue at some point. Which means it may be a long time before we hear from them again.
A Wolf in the Wilds - Twilight accompanies Wild throughout the events of BotW. Needs to be massively shrunk in scope before I can continue it.
Four's Annotated Hyrule Compendium - Four goes through the BotW Hyrule Compendium and comments. Is being actively maintained but I keep procrastinating on making new entries. Still a perennial crowd-pleaser.
Oneshots
Miscellaneous OOT/MM content - can you tell what my favorite games are? Probably some of my least read content but stuff I'm quite proud of.
On Masks, Physical and Psychological - character study of the Hero of Time throughout his games with an emphasis on OOT. Forms the basis of how I write Mask in Forging A Chain.
Silence - quick oneshot trying to capture the mood of the final hours of every cycle in MM.
Low-effort oneshots featuring Wild - it bothers me that they seem to get more attention than, say, Forging A Chain.
Fire Arrows - discussion of arson.
Cornucopia - what if the entirety of the inventory of BotW could be disgorged all at once.

While Mask perused the shelves, Legend turned to Hyrule.
“Are you going to call staying here again nostalgic as well?”
Hyrule smiled slightly. “Shut up.”
“Oh, look at me, I’m the Traveler, I’ve just popped out of my era and into the Veteran’s era, this takes me back to when I popped out of my era into the veteran’s era and started this whole quest.” Legend’s impression of Hyrule was admittedly not good.
“You have to admit that there’s parallels.”
“Since when were you so sentimental?”
Hyrule shrugged. “Eh. Maybe you and Mask are rubbing off on me.”
“I’m the sentimental one?”
“Have you heard yourself talk sometimes?”
“And Mask?” Legend turned towards Mask, who was staring at something at the wall. “Hey, Mask, would you say you’re a sentimental person?”
Mask did not respond. He seemed to be fixated on whatever he was looking at.
“Mask?”

Mask was sitting at the foot of North Castle overlooking the great lake that surrounded it. The setting sun on the horizon cast up a burning golden light into the sky. Even the clouds were lit with a warm orange from sunlight that illuminated them from below.
The lake itself was remarkably clear, and Mask could see his own reflection as he looked in it as if it were a great rippling, shimmering mirror. It was a good view.
Mask had complicated feelings about sunsets. To most people, they were an ordinary fact of life, marking the transition between day and night, between work and rest, between bright skies and shimmering stars.
Mask was not like most people. He had seen his first sunset after he had left Kokiri Forest for the first time and was headed to Castle Town. He had been awestruck by the sight as he got closer and closer to the city gate.
And then the drawbridge went up, shutting him out for the night and leaving him to contend with the Stalchildren. Such a moment of wonder only to so abruptly turn into fear and uncertainty.

“Mask, do you remember when I said I wanted to investigate rumors of a stash of treasure somewhere relatively close? Yeah, I found out roughly where it is.”
“Ah. I take it that you’re going to go try finding it?”
Hyrule nodded. “You want to come with?”
“Sure! Is Veteran going?”
“He said he couldn’t make it.”
“I see. Well, that’s his loss. At least you get the opportunity to spend some quality time with me, right?”
It occurred to Hyrule that he hadn’t really spent that much alone time with Mask. Mask seemed to like sticking around Legend instead, especially since they seemed much alike.
“Yeah, I suppose. I guess we’ve been needing to do something like this.”

Legend shook his head. “…I just didn’t want people to find out like this.”
“To find out what?”
“You’ll see.” Legend swam to the shore. It was only a few seconds before he was in shallow enough water for his body to become visible. First his shoulders, and then his torso, and then…
“What?”
Legend got his arms onto dry land and pulled most of his body out of the water. He turned himself onto his back and gave a rueful look at his lower body. “I’m sorry you had to find out about my curse this way.”
A parody of the "mermaid curse" trope.
