Description:

"Regardless of whether you are humans or gods... truly, you use me whenever it suits you."

He had lived (died) this cycle countless times. He didn't know how many eons it had been (ghosts had no need for time, after all), how many times he'd watched his own reincarnated spirit fight the same battle. Did it matter anymore, how things had started? (After the water has stilled, does it still matter that a stone had been tossed at all?)

Notes:

Also called Toss Another Stone AU or TASAU

Series formerly named "First Things First"

When I publish these works, I'll put them in chronological order, to the best of my ability.

Can be read without knowing anything about Linked Universe. Or anything about any Zelda game in general, really.

Further details on how this series will be ordered, none of which is relevent yet so feel free to skip:
So far everything in this series takes place long before Skyward Sword, inspired by the 30-page manga by Akira Himekawa in Hyrule Historia. The main fic (which is still unpublished and in the depths of having the outline revised) will be after anything pre-SS. The latest timeline-wise before the main fic is "Maybe We've Lived a Thousand Lives Before" which is already published here. This series has always been intended to crossover with Linked Universe eventually. Any fics that take place Skyward Sword era or later will be placed after the main fic, despite the fact that the main fic will in several ways be taking place after all of them. The main fic itself will be covering the events of Linked Universe, which means there will be a lot of time travel shenanigans, so putting anything that takes place withing the frame of the canonical LoZ timeline or later after the main fic is a choice of optimal reading order. Again, absolutely none of this is relevant yet, just thought I'd get it down since I've been thinking over how best to put multiple timelines that involve a heavy amount of time travel into a linear chronological order for a while and this is what I finally came up with.
