They complement each other well as leaders. Time is decisive, focused, aware of their resources. He is physically imposing and strong-willed, and this makes authority come naturally to him in a group where everyone is younger. Warriors fills in his weaknesses perfectly- he knows how to manage a group of people. He understands strategy and morale, he knows how to bring out peoples' strengths. He's the type to plant an idea in your head and make you think that you came up with it.

Wars is drawn to Time for a sense of security and protection, something he hasn’t really experienced before. Even though he knows Time is powerful and has dark secrets, he feels safe in his good intentions. He's also glad to not be the face of authority for once. He feels less pressured to be strong all the time.

Wars is also the only Link who's comfortable looking out for Time emotionally.

Time sees Wars as his closest confidant and reliable friend. Warriors is bright and determined, and his drive to keep moving forwards helps motivate Time when he’s down. He appreciates how emotionally aware Warriors is; he's supportive during bad times and sassy during good times.

They can see right through each other, and they hate this.

Warriors is objectively the most socially passable Link and Time is arguably the least. Wars is a well spoken charmer and Time was raised by a tree.

The Captain has no idea where his place in history is despite having been to all of it, Time’s place in history is apparently all of it, they're both uncomfortable with it all

Time likes to sit on the porch and hand out candy to the little kidlets that go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, but they don't get much traffic if he's mean muggin the whole time. Methinks they'd do better to put him in a keaton costume or a fairy headband. Or maybe just cover his face with a full mask.

Warriors has a favorite sexy vampire costume, and he might even convince Time to play the part of his victim, fake fang-marks on his neck and all. That's a little less scary for the kids at least.

I have a mental image of a movie night together where they binge watch sad movies while cuddled up on the couch, pure domestic bliss

The next time they do movie night they switch up the genre and Wars spends the whole time fawning over the hot actors trying to get a rise out of Time

I just want them to be an old married couple 😔

Both of them hate sad movies for different reasons. Time is prone to bouts of melancholy, so the last thing he needs is more inspiration to be depressed. Wars hates how puffy his face gets from crying. A movie is a waste of under-eye serum.

Time also isn't a fan of action movies. He'll scoff at a lot of the action sequences and fake deaths. "They wouldn't fall that way." "That wouldn't kill someone." "You could never fully impale a man from that angle." If Warriors is really interested in one, he's going to watch it with the guys instead.

Wars commonly chooses a romance/romcom and he will talk the ENTIRE time, ESPECIALLY if it's one they've already seen. He likes to criticize the wardrobes, to point out little inconsistencies that weren't caught in editing, and to laugh at the touching moments because somewhere inside they make him uncomfortable.

War's comfort movie is one of those epic romance tragedies set against the backdrop of a major disaster, think Titanic.

Step One: Abject horror. Thank Farore above that Time wasn't looking when Warriors discovered them. He cannot hide the look on his face. Warriors can't possibly say something to him about it, lest Time do something rash. Wars can't be banished from using any manner of hair removal products in the third floor bathroom. This is the only sink in the house not covered in Twilight's shaven whiskers and stained with Legend's discount hair dye! So Warriors sloooowly closes his sudoku book and scuttles out of the bed to hide in the bathroom and mentally regroup.

Step Two: Planning. Guard training, don't fail him now.

Alright, he's got his tweezers, but those might take far too long. Troublingly, it's more than just one or two hairs he discovered. And this method will hurt. Although the man can take a bullet, Wars knows he will bitch to the heavens if they're plucking individual hairs.

There's a tiny head for the electric razor in Time's drawer. What does he use this for, his nose hairs? Does he ever clean this thing?? Well, it'll be too noisy anyway, and if Time struggles Warriors might accidentally lop off a chunk of his hair.

We've got Sakon's Smoothing Serum, a depilatory cream Warriors was connived into buying from some a social media ad. It hardly worked on his legs, it's not going to stand up to the stalks on Time's ears. Into the garbage.

Then there's the pot of wax. Ohhh what Warriors wouldn't give to tie that man up with the promise of 'wax play' just to use this to tear out those abhorrent little curly ear hairs. It's not technically a lie! Warriors spends and inordinate amount of time fantasizing about the screams.

Step Three: Despair. Because there's no way Time isn't going to notice what Warriors is up to. There's also no way he would willingly submit to the necessary pains of maintaining beauty. But what is Warriors to do, then? Can he really let this stand? Will he just look the other way as those hairs get longer, coarser, curlier??? As they start to sprout leaves and photosynthesize????? Oh, he'd better stop, he is gonna have some weird dreams tonight.

Step Four: ...Okay. Okay. There's a tiny pair of cuticle scissors in one of his manicure sets. They're discreet, they're quiet, and they're the only option he has. He's good. He's in business. Warriors pockets these and makes his way as casually as he can back into the bed.

"Did you get lost in all your belongings in there?"

"Yes. I mean, no!"

"I was worried I'd need to send a search party."

"Oh please, you'd be relieved to be rid of me."

Step Five: Wait. Once Time is in a deep sleep, it will be simple to just lean over and snip a few hairs (1). Start with the big ones. Will Wars be able to use his phone flashlight to see, though? Would that wake Time up? Well, it shouldn't matter. It's going to take more than a few nights to snip a couple at a time, and then to get both sides of Time's head. Warriors can wait. He exudes patient self-control, after all (2). He's got this in the bag.

(1): Time never falls asleep first.

(2): No, he does not.

Step Six: It's been almost an hour now. Warriors should have been asleep beneath his eye mask a while ago. But Time's nearly at the end of his book, so he's probably going to stay up a little longer. Pressing his hand against the tiny scissors in his pocket, Warriors summons his resolve. He's just going to rest his eyes while he waits. Just for a moment.

Step Seven: It's 9:15am. Warriors should have been up two hours ago. But the covers had been tucked snug around his shoulders, and the bed was so nice and warm, so he just kind of dozed off again. During the night, he dreamed about pumpkins growing out of his ears.

On the nightstand, his phone is fully charged. Next to it sits a tiny pair of cuticle scissors atop a piece of Time's stationary.

Are you, though??

LMTCOY Update

Chapter 45 - I Wish You Hadn't

Pairing: WarrTime Contains: Cross-dressing, weapons, threats of bodily harm, and some of the most incendiary sex they've had. This story is set several years in the future.

Which Wars takes as an ego boost for the next 7-8 business days

Sky being incredibly flustered because he likes corsets but not on his bro he is not into dudes he's heteroflexible and having a mini crisis so that's what he calls that thing in his pants all while Warriors is badgering him because Wars himself is antsy about this and Sky's jitters are making his vibes horrendous.

Only for Warriors to be an even bigger pestering ass once Sky snaps at him and pulling up anatomical diagrams to explain.

"So if you stand in front of a mirror, it should be the narrowest part of your torso." "Okay except you're built like a two-by-four." "If I bend like this, see where the skin folds? It's right about there." "I can't see that through your shirt, dumbass! What did you make this thing out of, the curtains??" "Oh, don't be mean just because your torso folds in three spots."

But yes, once they're done strangling one another and Wars gets his time in the limelight he is going to be preening in front of the mirror for days.
