Summary
Legend had gotten used to being within the dreams of the Divine. It happened more often than he preferred, though he wouldn’t trade some dreams for the world.
His ability, however, didn’t explain why he kept entering Time’s dreams. -

Summary
“And what do you do when interacting with other aspects during a formal function?” Four asked, reading from a booklet titled “On the Proper Conduct and Carriage of Aspects, Fifth Edition.”
“Um...” Time’s head hurt. “Bow ninety degrees at the waist?”
“Trick question!” came Sky’s voice from where he plucked absently at his harp from his favorite window seat. “You don't. Unless it's an absolute emergency or your owners give explicit permission to mingle. Focus on the guests and only the guests.”
Time slithered off his chair and onto the floor and lay there, staring dolefully up at the ceiling. “I’m never going to get all this right.”

Summary
Talon came back from a milk delivery at Kakariko village
"Think you'll like this story it's a lot like the ones you enjoy telling"
"That so?"
"The grave keeper saw this purple light that made a weird noise and out of it came this beast"
"What'd the beast look like?"
"It was nighttime and the grave keeper was in his house, didn't get a good look. Claimed the beast was terrifying to hear though. Sounded huge and left as quick as it came"
That's already his cue but Talon wasn't done talking
"Also some guy was in the graveyard with the beast"
This is really his cue to do something
"What'd he look like?" Thinking of his dream
"Don't know. Thou 'parently he had quite the mouth. Say he'd screamed and swore something fierce before running off"
Yup Malon gave a quiet but knowing look He wasn't going to be around for a while Time to dust off his armour and weapons
My take on the Chain's first meeting You know how most fics first meetings have them go from era to era to pick them up Well if you reread the start it's highly implied what happened is the 8 of them came through a portal and ended up in Time's era Where he probably had to go round them up

The Frigid Peaks Of Madness by OrcusNoir

Tags
Summary
The Chain had a simple task before them: Hunt the black blood monsters that were attacking farms in the north before winter sets in, saving countless lives in the process.
Little did they know that this simple quest of theirs would turn out to be a waking nightmare as a conspiracy begins to unravel before their very eyes.
Soon the Chain will learn why Legend's timeline is in downfall, and why Hyrule's era is the way that it is.
(A mostly Legend-centric story that tells the tale of the downfall of the Downfall Timeline. It wasn't just the Fallen Hero that caused it all, no, it was something far greater than that. A conspiracy, a cult, and a plan to save the world that went horribly, horribly wrong.)

Summary
You see, Four had seen his fair share of giant spiders before as a minish, meaning that they actually were regular normal spiders that seemed gigantic because of Four’s minish size, but really weren't.
These ones, though? Oh, these ones were the real deal— actual huge ass spiders.
The Smithy had heard the Old Man yell the name ‘Skulltula’ in between all the chaos, which meant that they weren't just regular giant spiders, but actually giant monster spiders. Fantastic.
Had it been the one giant monster spider, Four reckons they would've been OK. However, as he got closer to the Old Man and the Sailor— who was aggressively ripping off the remnants of the spider web still stuck to his clothes— Four's lantern was able to illuminate the entire dungeon room and–
Oh.
Oh.

Summary
"What's a pumpkin?"
Hyrule thought he'd been asking an innocent question. But based on Sky and Twilight's offended looks of horror, Hyrule had been brutually mistaken. A bowl of pumpkin soup later, and Hyrule realizes he also doesn't know his birthday. The chain is determined to fix this. Immediately.
But then Hyrule realizes that he potentially could use this to his advantage...

"Did you have a nightmare?" Link tried, speaking so softly as if talking any louder would scare the boy away.

Summary
Wild and the rest of the Chain have finally defeated Ganondorf, the evil that'd been awaiting them in the Depths, along with the Shadow. This time, it's for good, and now the Era of the Wilds can finally be at peace. Princess Zelda has been reverted from the Light Dragon back to herself, and with darkness thwarted the Master Sword can be returned to its pedestal. As the kingdom celebrates, so too do our heroes.
All that's left is a parting. Our heroes have spent a long time in these lands, and they need to go home. A portal awaits them in the Temple of Time to return them to their own eras. There, they will live out the rest of their lives, wherever that takes them. They are heroes, soldiers, leaders, adventurers... and the passage of time will march on.
Wild has just a few loose threads to tie up before the others depart. They all do. And what happens now will continue to follow each hero for their foreseeable futures.Series

Summary
You did not like being around these boys, these heroes. You just needed to find your ghost friend again. Hopefully you'd find him soon.
(Pretty much, after Wild had to join The Chain, you and our friendly thalassaphobic ghost friend drop into Tears of the Kingdom and have to fix things in Wild's place. Then he comes back with the rest of The Chain and shit goes down.)

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG, AND NOW I CAN FINALLY WRITE IT!! Super excited, and I'll try to plan ahead. I'm so much better at starting out stories than I am with finishing them. BUT, I do want to plan this one out. I'm ready to finally start making you all start guessing >:)
Also, just saying now, the only chapters with names will be chapters that aren't meant to be chapters, but updates on if I'm going on a small hiatus or something. Hopefully I won't need to, but you never know.

Summary
A trip through Wild's Hyrule comes to an end just as anyone would expect; only this time, Wild isn't called to pass through the portal. In the face of a mysterious second adventure, he must stand aside while his brothers depart without him. Likewise, the chain is forced to leave Wild behind with no idea when they may see him again. They're left to wonder if this marks the end of an unsuccessful journey or if something is happening to their brother while they're separated.
Basically, I saw all the angsty "Wild has to leave" fics and said "Hold my beer."
Also, teen and up is the rating simply because the themes might get pretty heavy and there are a few curse words. Beyond that, it should be safe.Edit: I'm eating my words. Please read the tags.
Edit/Update: I ran out of space in the tags. Check for TW/CW at the start of the chapters. I will try to tag all the major stuff; but again, I ran out of space. -

Summary
“This? This is medicine.” Time said matter-of-factly, as though he was explaining the obvious to someone as incompetent as Sky. Sky’s face twisted into confusion as he was slightly hurt by the words. “Believe it or not, you’re sick.” Time snipped, Sky shrunk back from the tone in his voice.
OR
Sky is unable to recognize his body's needs, Time is a mess of emotions and self-loathing thoughts. Neither of them have a good time.
