Breath of Another World (BOTW Link x Reader)

Victim to inflicter pt.4

Please read this A/N

*Pokes head around door frame* .....Hello, am I late?

Stupid question, I know I'm late by Uhh... Four months? Five months? Whatever, I'm late. HOWEVER, I'm not dead, so that's a good sign right? Right??

Sighhh... in all seriousness though, I am sorry that I keep doing this. I had a good, clean schedule, producing content for this every two weeks or so (I have literally no idea how I managed to do that. Like, seriously...) I know you guys say it's okay and that I should prioritise myself more... but idk. To tell you the truth, I've never gotten this much recognition before, especially over a Wattpad book. And now this book is approaching 300k, which don't get me wrong, is amazing, but also extremely unexpected. It makes me feel like I have to work ten times harder to produce stuff - which isn't true, I know, but it's just another insecurity I have and it's a bitch. Plus, I am a people pleaser which is something I need to work on.

One thing I feel like I should mention though, I do get the occasional message asking when I'm updating... I know you're all just excited to read more, and that is extremely flattering. But messages like that unfortunately add pressure, and do end up discouraging me. Don't get me wrong, I know you mean well, and I'm not upset or anything like that. But I thought I would just let people know by asking if this will update anytime soon... it does intimidate me just a little bit hehe...

So, I know I ask this a lot, but please be patient with me. I may not update as much as I used to, but I have not, and never will forget about this book, and I am constantly working on it even at a snail's pace. I'm not ending this anytime soon, don't you worry.

Now then... as for where I've been.

Ngl I've actually been kinda busy. 2020 was mostly about staying out of sight from people and the virus, and honestly by the end of it I didn't feel all too good about myself. I had to finish my college course early, I've slowly been drifting apart from my friends, my mental and physical health hasn't been all that great lately. I mean, me suddenly making jokes about my mental disabilities isn't exactly a good sign...

Soooooo I have actually been doing stuff! Stuff to help me get back on my two feet. I've started attending a course that helps young people like me figure out what they want to do with their life. And they teach you things like finding jobs and learning life skills. Ya know, learning how to be a functional adult contributing to society and all that good stuff (woohoo.....) And because of that place, I'm a certified First Aider now. So that's cool.

Also unrelated, but I got my Covid jabs.

Like seriously, I'm literally fully vaccinated now. I'm superior to likely most of you right now.

I'm kidding, please don't hate me ;-;

But yeah, it's been a busy few months. I have been slowly coming back to this every now and then, but I am 20 in less than a month and I don't want to live with my parents forever hehe...

Anyway, before we begin, there is something I'd like to mention. Up until now I've addressed Y/N's school as a 'High School', because I figured a good portion of my readers go by that school system. However, as you may or may not know, I live in the UK, (I have resisted the urge to use British slang so much... I think I used it once and everyone was confused as hell) and therefore go by a different system. And... I've actually been going by that instead of America's High School system. Soooooo.... I think I should explain that, to those who don't know.

If I'm correct, American kids stay in school until they're around 18, right? Well, in my country's 'Secondary School' as we call it, we stay there until we're around 16-17 years old. And instead of going up in grades, we go up in years.
