Summary
What could the Hero of Legend endure at the end of the day? How long could his love for his brother hold true? Failure meant the death of his brothers, and Legend would not fail. The dark figure before him echoed another fear that festered in his mind.
“But what will be left of his precious hero when he arrives?”
Legend takes Hyrule's place in the clutches of the Cult of Ganon, but can he make it out? Will there be anything left of him if he does?

Summary
"What's been going on with Hyrule?" Warriors chimes, picking lint off his scarf mindlessly.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Time replied, slightly alerted. It had been long since they have heard of the boy, longer so than they've seen him. "Is there something wrong with Hyrule?" He queried after an uncomfortable beat of silence, one filled with Warriors' nervous picking, and Legend's impatiently-tapping foot.
Instinctively, he flickers his gaze over to Legend, who throws his head into his hands in restless exasperation. At least the tapping stopped.
"Some fucker made fun of his stutter." He sneered. "Now he won't talk."
OR
Hyrule and Legend face some trouble. Hyrule takes the worst of the damage. Legend tries to fix it on his own.

The Absent Blue of Your Gaze by amayis_bigtower

01 Nov 2025

Summary
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time’s Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn’t expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious.
Who knows, it could even maybe —just maybe— be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows.
They don’t know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice.
It’s hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.

Summary
Four stares at the triumphant handshake between the two, Legend tapping the back of his Pegasus boots against the ground nervously, and Hyrule wiping the splatter of blood away from his mussed curls. A usual affair. His eyes gloss over with longing, and for once, Four lets his guard down as he watches for what he yearns for; To be wanted. To be a part of something, and to be loved.
Maybe they'd be better as a group of eight. Maybe Four wasn't needed.
OR
Four doesn't really feel valued. What more can he do to earn their love?

Summary
There it was. A chorus, faint but unmistakable, winding and layered, like too many people speaking at once just outside the walls. The storm blurred the sound, the endless rush of rain smothering their words, but the cadence carried clearly enough. The voices trailed along the side of the house… then stopped. At their door.
Ravio’s stomach dropped. He turned, and Link was already staring at him, both of them pale in the lamp light, eyes wide with the same thought.
“Shit,” Ravio breathed.
“Shit,” Link echoed.

silly one shots of if the heroes joined after they've settled down. i see all the "wild joins the chain" and always wanted to see the others join last too lol

Summary
En busca de un nuevo peligro que amenazaba con asaltar el Hyrule de Time, la cadena se adentró en las profundidades del Bosque Perdido guiados por su líder, quien abría el camino a través de la oscuridad. Sin embargo, lo que no se esperaron es que a veces el peligro podía estar más cerca de lo que pensaban. Podía estar en el árbol más cercano, en la flor solitaria que yacía a sus pies, en la brizna de hierba que se veía ligeramente sospechosa.
Quién sabe, incluso quizá (solo quizá) podía estar en la forma de sus propios pasos. En el aire que les rozaba la cara. En la oscuridad de sus propias sombras.
No sabían si estaba justo de pie delante suyo. O vigilándolos mientras dormían. O hablándoles usando palabras que de alguna manera se sentían en la voz incorrecta.
Era difícil de creer que incluso podía estar mirándolos fijamente con la mirada que solía ser azul.

Summary
The absence of the familiar comfort is deeply felt, but it's hard to find a safe place to do it on the road. By himself, he could clear out a burrow somewhere and ward the doors, but he can't just wander off on his own anymore. For all that being with the Chain affords him a level of safety he's never experienced before, it also means hiding things.
A lot of things.
(or: Touch-starved, touch-averse Hyrule finds a suitable compromise. Too bad he can't tell anyone about it.)
(or: Or: 2 times Hyrule enjoys (platonically) being tied up, 1 time he really, really doesn't, 1 time he sort of remembers how to, and 1 time he talks about it)

Summary
“Hey. get up.” Legend roughly pushed the door open with no warning, or even having the decency to knock. Four grimaced when Legend switched on the lights, the sudden influx of luminosity sending sharp prickles of pain.
“Come on.” Legend kicked Four’s leg lightly from over the covers with his boot, skirt swishing in the air gracefully, if only Legend himself was synonymous with such a characteristic.
If Four wasn’t cowering under the haphazardly-covered blankets, then Blue would have snarled at Legend, yelling at the disdain that was brought from the potential mess Legend was bringing in. If walking in Four’s room with shoes on wasn’t bad enough, then getting them on their bed was a far more punishable penalty. “Hurry up, or Time won’t get off my ass, you-”
Taking one good look at Four, Legend was able to realize that boy looked seriously unwell. It wasn’t like them to ignore anyone’s wake up calls, let alone Legend’s. What was even worse was the fact that Four had their face buried in their hands, though the reddened tips of their ears already said enough.
OR
Four wakes up to a migraine.
