"Tell me your spookiest moments. I'm not talking about monsters like Redeads or Gibdos. Have any of you guys come across something you can't explain?"
OR: To pass the time before nightfall, Warriors convinces everyone to share spooky stories around the campfire. This may or may not result in a few existential crises.
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ And once again, we're back!! I've been trying to be less strict with meself and I've allowed myself to record and post these out of their original order. I won't not-record any that I haven't said I won't record, so be patient and I'll get to all of them! Also be sure to check out Tashi, the author of all these wonderful stories. They're my go-to for Linked Universe content, and I especially love how they write and treat Legend(who is often done dirty by the fandom).
I'll update the chapter pages individually over the course of this weekend, and I will put trigger warnings in the chapter notes for each relevant chapter, as per usual. The tags make it sound intimidating, but it really isn't so bad.
I focused my recording on capturing each Link's "voice" rather than building intensity like I did in Bittersweet Sixteen(Which you should check out, it is accessible outside its designated fandom bc I gave a context-summary, and I also gave myself chills with the performance), which helps to make this even less scary than it might be. If you're concerned about triggers, hold tight until all the chapters and my notes are up, kay? :D I think I'm really settling into the Links' voices, but I need you all to let me know pleassseeee in the comments, You should also comment if you like this series. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
"So I hold. And hold. A moment later, I hear someone climbing up the mountain a couple of feet to my right."
"A monster?" Hyrule asked.
"The rain was too hard to tell, but the outline of the body looked human. I see them climbing, finding one foothold after another. And just as they get level to me... they lose their grip."
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Trigger warning timestamp for dead(?) bodies: [2:14-2:40] and [3:20-4:03] A summary can be found in the chapter's end notes.
I hadn't read this one before recording it, so this read is another live reading for both you and me. It also (theoretically) marks a few game-changing perspectives and convictions that can affect plot. I'll have more to say tomorrow but I'm legitimately sleep-typing at this point so I am definitely calling it for today!
Note from tomorrow-me: What on EARTH was I trying to say??????????????? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Summary of timestamps: Wild's climbing companion falls, but he can't locate them. Later, the same climber joins him on that mountain a second time. Wild sees that the other climber is literally himself. The climber falls to their death.
I'm so tired so if that needs fixin legit just say so in the commetns as always and I'll handle it when I'm not typing like a sleepyweirdo.
