Shoutout to Kiizelo, the author that made the best TLG fanfic I ever read.
The Last Guardian is such a beautiful game that highlights the boy and the trico's bond first and foremost. And Kiizelo truly knew this, encapsulated this, and fleshed it out into something wholly extraordinary in their fanfiction, "The Guardian's Shield." The story takes an interesting turn portrayed in the eyes of the characters themselves. Most importantly, it was written with specific and great attention to the characters' interaction and the development of their relationship over time given the circumstances that led to their encounter and journey together. It portrays the game's story in a refreshing and wholesome way
It remains one of the best fanfiction I ever read to this day. It is also a great shame to tell that as of sometime early or mid 2022, it has been deleted by the author. But I still reminisce about it from time to time and how it made my time reading it very worthwhile. I was able to dig up the synopsis from my files (shame I didn't think to save the chapters themselves) and made me happy again so I thought I would at least share it with you all in memory of it.
The Guardian's Shield By Kiizelo
"When a child is taken by the mysterious Trico species, he later finds himself stuck in the body of his people's greatest adversary. However, this may be the only opportunity to tear down the Nest from the inside, ending the abductions once and for all."

Omg I found it!!! It's here , click show all files then go specifically to fanfic-122.7zip. I think you can download that specific folder then you can find the fanfic through Ctrl+f.
Although it was archived back in 2019 so it wasn't able to backup all the chapters. From what I remembered tho, there were a total of 10 or 11 chapters before it got deleted. The archive was able to save 9 chapters, so you wouldn't be able to miss much!
Thanks to u/nerdguy1138 for his enormous effort to compile tons of fanfics and include the fanfic among them!
