Hyrule speaks before he thinks. The nickname ends up sticking.

“Wild, Bunny, we’re leaving!” They both jumped, whipping around to Hyrule, who now stood by the cave’s entrance, suddenly barren of the oil tarp that had been there not so long ago. The fire had been snuffed out, and the other heroes were gone.

But that wasn’t what Link focussed on. Nor was it for Wild.

“‘Bunny’?”

Hyrule blinked, as if he hadn’t realised he’d said it himself. “What… Oh! I didn’t mean—it kind of just stuck. Sorry, I didn’t mean to call you that. I’m sure it’s weird for you. But, uh… we do need another name for you, other than Link—that gets confusing really quickly, as I’m sure you can imagine.”

Link huffed a laugh and dipped his head. And… if he was honest with himself, the name wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t related to his hero’s title, The Hero of Legend, at all, and it suited this him better than anything else he could think of.

Besides, when he found a way to shift back to a rabbit again, they wouldn’t need to change to Bunny again from anything else they might choose to name him.

Conveying that wordlessly to Hyrule wasn’t easy, but after a few gestures and hand waves, Wild caught on to what he was trying to say. “You don’t mind that name?” Wild asked, to which Link nodded quickly.

Hyrule breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay! That saves us a lot of time thinking up something new. Now, Wild, Bunny—shall we head out before we get left behind?” They nodded and set out together.

"And I was a different boy"

Never done one of these before! Thank you so much for tagging me @technicallysorcery - it warms the heart to be thought of and made me feel super happy to feel a little part of the community 🥰 anyway was tagged to do this picrew, which was super cute but also I may be hiding the level of my exhaustion lmao

i bought the book, got home, showed my friend and laughed about my star wars brain because for a moment I couldve sworn those two characters on the front look like kylo and rey. haha. very funny.

until i read the acknowledgments in the back after i'd been reading and enjoying the first 7 chapters last night. it's honestly pure willpower, determination and the fact that i spent my earned money on this that's making me finish it.

this is absolutely no disrespect to the author or the story itself - the writing is really good, the trope is wonderful. i'm enjoying myself reading it, strangely, until I find myself taken aback when i'm reminded; yes this character is poe, this character is rose, this is kylo and rey, and hux- etc etc. wish me luck getting through the rest because i'm too far in to call it quits now lmfao.
