Calamari (Link)antation by tilapsci for Nebulapaws

Summary
“One, are you okay?” Tetra asks, but there’s no time to respond.
Another gleam somewhere ahead of him, and Wind rolls again, but this time he doesn’t go unscathed. The ink rips past his shoulder, and though it’s barely a graze, it burns.
He gasps, his arm locking up instinctively in response to the unexpected pain, but he forces himself to raise his dualies again. He needs more light, and more space to work, and some cover would be nice, too.
“One?” Tetra asks, much more urgently this time.
“Found it,” he chokes out, and then has to dive behind an electrical box to avoid a shot through the head. “Or, it found me.”
Wind, Spirit, Tetra, and Four proudly make up the Inkopolis sector of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, working to monitor and shut down Octarian activity in the area. Things have been quiet for a while, but strange power outages have recently drawn their attention to Octo Valley and force them to investigate.
There are bets going around on whether wild sharks are responsible for causing the outages by chewing on the cables. Spoilers: it's not sharks.
Or, a Linked Universe Splatoon AU!

Summary
“I am not leaving him in there alone,” he continues, starting to loosen the clasp over his shoulder keeping his scarf in place. “He needs us-”
Just then, there’s an audible disturbance in the water. Warriors whips his head around in time to catch a splotch of dazzling pink amidst a cloud of bubbles in the otherwise dark lake, and then a lizalfos genuinely comes flying out of the water. He stares dumbly as it crashes into the deck between him and Twilight, screeching and squirming in pain and fury, with brutal looking claw marks around its face and throat. What the fuck?
When a portal drops the Chain in the middle of a huge lizalfos camp, sprawling halfway across an unknown lake, everyone expects the worst when Legend ends up getting dragged under. They quickly find out just how well he can hold is own in the water, though, and add a new fact to their ever-growing list of Legend's magical abilities.
Or, the Links learn about the mermaid suit, and they're more interested in marveling at the unique transformation than judging Legend for it, much to his surprise. Legend tosses a lizalfos, Warriors makes a fool of himself, and everyone has a good time.

Summary
Wind squints back down at his letter, trying to recall what day it had been right before they left. All the eras have a slightly different calendar, his more rudimentary than most, but even he knows that the timing must be close.
“It’s nothing. This is just a birthday gift from my sister, so I was trying to figure out when my birthday actually is.”
Immediately, everyone in their little group whips around to stare at him. “...What?”
“It’s your birthday?”
Or, the Chain might not be able to throw the most elaborate birthday party while on the road, but turning fourteen is a big deal. No matter how short notice, they'll gladly do whatever they can to make Wind feel special on his big day! (...Even if they probably have the wrong date. Time travel gets confusing, okay? It's the thought that counts.)

Summary
“Great Zephos, they are totally shit-faced-” Wind hisses from over his shoulder, peeking out of the doorway just like Four is. He sounds like he’s having the best day of his life. Maybe he is.
“You’re a good man,” Warriors continues on, entirely oblivious to or uncaring of the audience he has amassed. “Y’ remind me of,” a thick, ugly sniffle, “of m’ own mum.”
“Oh, wow,” Four mutters.
Or, Warriors and Twilight sneak away from the rest of the Chain in the captain's era to enjoy a well-deserved break and celebrate the end of a long, long week. They, uh, might have celebrated a little too hard, because now it takes three separate heroes to drag them to bed and get them to focus for more than five seconds on a subject that isn't their deep, undying, brotherly love for one another.
Tears are shed, drunken heart-to-hearts are had, and lots of blackmail material is collected. At least Four is thoroughly entertained. Written for a sprint prompt in the LU Discord!

Summary
“What are you doing?” Twilight asks, giving a significant look to the book loosely held in his lap. Wind immediately snaps it shut. “Do y’ like the waterwheel?”
“...Is that what it’s called?” Wind asks, keeping his eyes trained on the structure. After a moment of deliberation, he opens the book again and scribbles out his previous note. He can feel Twilight watching him, and when he whips his head up in preparation to deliver a withering glare, he simply finds the rancher looking at him curiously. He deflates a bit, at that.
“Yeah,” the rancher confirms, giving the home across from them another significant look. “Forgot for a minute that you wouldn't've known that.”
Or, the Heroes of Courage are always curious, and Wind is no exception. Sometimes the simplest advancements in one era are groundbreaking in another. There's not a lot of information about what life on the mainland is like in Wind's time, so he's trying to document some of it while he has the chance.
And, unsurprisingly, Twilight is a good brother. Written for a sprint prompt in the LU Discord!

Summary
“You know, I have to say this wasn’t what I imagined when you said you could imbue non-living things with life,” Bucciarati quipped as Mista climbed out of the tortoise. The look in his eyes was still very grave, but they were in agreement with what they were going to do. “It’s remarkably useful.” I’m surprised I’ve never heard of you before, was what was implied.
Giorno let his shoulders relax and made a show of crossing his arms over his chest even as Gold Experience darted out in the blink of an eye, turning the gold barrettes in Bucciarati’s hair into yellow daffodils.
“That was all I did before I joined the team,” he replied innocently. The best part was he wasn’t even lying.

Summary
While he looked around the best he can with the people everywhere, albeit a little guiltily, Josuke felt glad that Koichi had to decline Jotaro’s offer for this investigation since he had been busy with senior year high school stuff as an honor student. Bright blue skies and the soft spring breeze of Naples were definitely a nice change from Morioh.
He supposed the only downside of this change was the slightly humid weather ruining his precious hair.
