crownedcrusaderhide bio
 Author has written 13 stories for Legend of Zelda, and Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. CrownedCrusader on tumblr, as well, but please keep all fic-related questions to my fic blog, crusadercreates! There's even a few scenes for Cloak and Dagger that aren't posted here, so please, check it out if you're interested! I'll be posting Legend of Zelda fics on here primarily, though my Ao3 has Free! fics, too. I really appreciate reviews, even when I don't reply. I might write these fics for myself but I post them for others to see, so I like to know that other people appreciate what I post. Seeing reviews inspires me to write, so I'd really appreciate reviews if you enjoy something that I've posted. As for who I am, you can call me Sam, if you'd like, or abbreviate my username to 'Cruss' if you feel uncomfortable using a name that sounds like a name. :) I'm 19, a sophomore in college, majoring in Sociology, and have been writing fic since 2011. My old account has long since been abandoned, but if you figure it out, well, good on you, but don't go spreading it around. I still get reviews telling me to complete stories that have been abandoned for years. But don't worry! I'm much more committed to writing now, so please don't think that I'll cancel Cloak and Dagger! It's my baby, and unless something tragic happens, I'll be finishing it. Thank you for checking out my profile! Feel free to drop me a PM here or ask me something on either of my tumblrs! I love talking with you guys!! I'm not currently taking any prompts, especially not on fics that are already in progress. Though it might not always seem like it, I know where I'm going with my fics. Have a wonderful day! |

the way to the heart by dasseinhundin reviews
"I'm Link. Midna called in a favor I owe her, so it looks like I'll be your chef for a while." He quirks a brow, and judging by his expression Zelda can only guess her own.
