    Summary

    Those like you, those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero, they are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time.

    This is the curse that has bound Link's soul to Zelda's bloodline, to Hyrule, and to malice for thousands of years. It is through this curse that he is born again, and again, and again, the same soul worn down into something harder and more serious with every passing generation. With every evil that Link defeats, he grows wearier and more determined, and by all rights that should be the end of it.

    Then a portal through time opens, from one Master Sword chamber to another. And Ocarina meets another Link for the first time.

    Four years later, Wild's portal finally opens, and as a collective they decide that this curse needs to be cut off... before it gets any worse than it had for Wild.

    Summary

    Two sessions, both alike in dignity, in fair Skaia where we lay our scene, from ancient code break to new glitchery, where foolish mods make foolish code unclean.

    A dazzling array of fuckups result in two sessions of Skaia spawning in the same metaphysical location, over lapping and clipping into one another. How our players will survive this and whether this corrupted Bethesdaen nightmare is even theoretically winnable... is up to you.

    This is a nanowrimo project. I'll be posting my daily progress, and asking for reader input to guide the story to its eventual conclusion. Please comment and share your suggestions, or follow me on twitter @hareofhrair where I'll be posting regularly and asking for input.

    Summary

    The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.

    Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.

    And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.

    Because that makes sense.

    (No. No it doesn't.)

    But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.

    Summary

    In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.

    Their best isn't perfect.

    ~

    “Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”

    Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –

    Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”
