Summary
Four has already figured it out. He’s been looking around, and Legend can see that he’s noted the walls, and the carvings, and the fact that this whole place is overrun with monsters.
“This isn’t exactly a palace, is it, Legend?” Four says, testing out the words. “It’s a tomb. My tomb.”
---------
A fresh, bright hibiscus rests daintily behind one ear as she sways in place, humming a tune Legend knows in the depths of his soul. Her name chokes in Legend's throat. He can’t move; can barely think—
“Marin?”
Legend whips around— It wasn’t him who said that.
It was Warriors.
---------
In which a visit to the Palace of the Four Sword sets a series of conflicts and reveals in motion.

Their Melody by Nova16

Summary
Link had been relatively unbothered by his adventures. That is until he woke up stranded in the middle of the ocean with Marin's last gift. Their infant daughter: Melody.
He should have heeded the Shadow Nightmare’s warning. Forces are stirring. Evil is rising. A nightmare or two will soon be the least of their problems.
He made a promise to Marin to leave his adventurous life as a hero behind to devote himself to his new family however he had no choice but to break that promise when he was coerced into waking the Windfish. Doing so cost him far more than he was willing to part with. Now, for Melody's sake, he was determined to stick to that promise. Even if eight heavily armed men show up at his door with stories of a shadow that was wreaking havoc across time. There was no way he was ever going to leave Melody's side. Why was that so hard to understand?
Listen, oh listen. Why can’t you hear her song?
Humming in the darkness all the night long.
She sings as she weaves ‘til the oceans have fall'n
To cover up the sounds of weeping.- Language:

Rain heaven from above for I am thirsty as hell by ForgottenSword

Summary
“A Beta?” Evil purple eyeball - Vaati’s true form apparently, good to know - just about screeched.
Vio bit his tongue and kept his expression neutral and impassive. “Yes, sir” he confirmed, like his neutral scent did not give it away.
“His designation does not matter, Lord Vaati” Shadow insisted, shifting protectively to stand beside Vio, nuzzling his cheek against the Beta’s neck.“We do not need a Beta” Vaati presses, voice icy. “They are untouched. Fickle.” But Vio saw the cold look the demon had. He knew the truth the words carried hidden behind excuses. Betas are more independent than any other secondary gender due to their neutrality and lack of instincts. They are harder to chain down, harder to control. And control was what Vaati wanted, needed. Over Hyrule, over his troupes, over Shadow. And now over Vio.
...
Or: Because Beta's lack instincts that make them easier to chain down and control through a mate, Vaati decides that Vio's secondary orientation needs to change. Both Vio and Shadow suffer for it.

Summary
Shadow, for all intents and purposes, was dead.
Sure, he was vaguely aware of his Light World counterparts fusing into one person once more, and that he was on a new adventure with a group of eight other adventurers, and yeah, he could tell all nine of them had the Hero's Spirit, but it wasn't like he was actually alive. He couldn't actually see any of this, let alone interact. It was more like a gut feeling that told him these things.
So, when he is abruptly ripped out of the total nothingness that had claimed him after his death, he is understandably surprised, confused, and incredibly overwhelmed.

Summary
Alright, so maybe Vio had a teeny, tiny, little preference for the brooding type. So what? It wasn’t a crime!
They had the best fashion sense anyway.
And they were hot.
But they were typically villains.
Vio tried not to dwell on these more conflicting thoughts.
---
Four had a problem. Vio liked to flirt. With villains, specifically. It was making his life a bit more difficult than it needed to be, to say the least.Series

Summary
Four had a feeling the minute he returned to his Hyrule things would get real weird, real fast, and there wouldn’t be much he could do about it. He held onto hope that maybe, just maybe, his boyfriend wouldn’t be the dramatic idiot he was and wouldn’t emerge from the shadows like some kind of evil villain in front of a group of heavily armed and trigger happy heroes. He hoped that Shadow would have a scrap of common sense not to jump him the minute he came back. He prayed his secrets wouldn’t be revealed against his will, but he had a feeling all his prayers would be for nothing.

Summary
Once, Hyrule was the only person he knew named Link. He was the only person who had held the triforce, the only person who had to run from the forces of evil, to defeat an enemy too great when he was too young, too small, too alone. Once, he cast a desperate bit of arcane magic and thrust himself and eight strangers on a quest.
Now, Legend smiles more, and Twilight's shadows are a little lighter. Now Wind laughs as loud as a storm with Sky's smile as soft as the following calm.
Someday soon, Wild will stand in a land of darkness, fighting an enemy all too easy to laugh off, though the darkness doesn't laugh. The shadows themselves will plot and scheme. Soon Wars' own darkness with reach out for him. It isn't long until Four is haunted by his own shadow. Maybe, if they had enough warning there would be something that could be done.
The problem with Time is that he knows the cost of meddling. Then, now, and then again, he was, is, and will be unable to warn them all properly. That's the issue with time travel. For those outside of the stream, the course of it can't be seen, can't be planned for. By the time you realize it's happened, it's already too late.

“Am I a bad person?” Legend whispered, finally looking up from the campfire. The embers caught his ice blue eyes in away Red could appreciate, Vio recognising that self guilt from anywhere.
All four voices in Four’s head began to anchor in the answer, a solid, unchallenged “No.”
