    Summary

    Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone.

    It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though.

    Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.

    Summary

    There was a ritual in it, Satoru thought - buttoning up the nicest shirt he owned, freshly ironed with the wrinkleless slacks he only ever took out for that day. He brushed his hair out in soothing, repeated motions. Once, twice, thrice; over and over as he breathed deep and slow. He was a metronome, following the tempo of his anxieties, preparing for the day to come. As he slid his round, blacked-out sunglasses on, he couldn’t shake the feeling something truly terrible was about to happen. He tried to ignore it, hoping he was wrong - that it was just paranoia.
    He’d never been wrong before.
    He knew he wasn’t wrong this time.

    It was like waking up and feeling as though the air had changed. Or how some describe they know a family member has passed before someone breaks the news. Suguru felt like his lifeline had been trimmed. Like something beyond decided that today would be his day. The final step. And his actions hadn’t helped. Since last year he’d stacked the odds against himself, putting ticket after ticket into the reaping for another bag of grain, another piece of meat. It kept them fed, but the cost was coming. He knew. He just did.

    Summary

    Red Chaos was the name the world had bestowed upon him, and Dream had laughed as he dragged Tommy down against his chest in a rough sprawl back against the couch, squeezing him tight after their first official mission together.

    Tommy had done good and Dream had been proud.

    -

    Siren shifts, a look Tommy can’t be bothered to understand flashing briefly before his shoulders roll into a shrug.

    “You saved my life.”

    I know, Tommy thinks, lips drawing back in an ugly grimace. It ruined mine.

    -

    The morning paper lies discarded on the couch beside him with black bold headlines:

    RED CHAOS: HERO OR VILLAIN?

    Summary

    A work exploring the events that took place before the calamity- detailing Link's chaotic ascendance into the royal guard, his first meetings with each of the champions, Zelda, and the people who raised him. [Complete!]
     

    "Link tossed the sword down. It stayed upright, embedded into the dirt and mud. He wanted to tell her just how desperately he’d wanted to reject it and put it back into its pedestal. The way he ran and lied, and was still lying. King Rhoam was the one who insisted the truth be buried, but Link didn’t utter a word of protest. He may have come clean, but he had no intention of coming clean to all of Hyrule.
     
    He felt he didn’t owe Hyrule anything.

    But the question remained, just how much did he owe Zelda?"

    Summary

    We make our decisions based on what we know best at the time, Link rationalized. That boy did what he thought was right at the time, that boy did the best he could.

    "You did well, Link, and you're still doing well."

    He wasn't sure if he would believe that this time, or even next time or the time after that. But if she kept talking to him in that voice, with the weighted look of love in her eyes, perhaps he could learn to.

    After experiencing a childhood of neglect and abuse, Link finds some refuge in the Hyrule Knight Academy. Surrounded by a new set of nihilistic peers and a handful of professors that expect too much of him, he struggles to keep handle of the broken, malformed pieces of himself. In the meantime, Hyrule is frantically preparing for the impending Calamity. A fateful day in the forest thrusts him into the inescapable role of the Hero, a role he'd do anything to abandon. As Ganon's grip on Hyrule tightens, Link is forced to mourn a childhood that he's still living.
