  1. Summary

    Kintsugi (金継ぎ) - The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the cracks with gold lacquer. The cracks are highlighted as part of the piece's history, rather than a flaw to hide.

    A series of fics in the same continuity, following post-TotK Link, King Consort and the Sage of Time; his ward Midori, the should-have-been Hero of the Depths; and a dead god in a mask.

    Shards of the Hero and Unbroken can be read as standalone fics. While Link (Sage) and Midori appear in Unbroken, you'll learn about them as the Chain does.

    Summary

    Bullshit. When are we gonna admit that we were all there the whole time?

    Hero of the Minish. Hero of Light. Hero of the Four Sword, four times over. This is a tale of how Link became four long before he became Four.

    [Ideally updates on Wednesdays. Final chapter count subject to change, but it’s all outlined.]

    Notes to remind myself: Vio has a whole ass secret base (dollhouse) with a shard of the dark mirror. Red is trying to talk to Dot but keeps accidentally switching out (Green fucked up the last attempt). Blue woke up in the secret dollhouse and is Done.

    Summary

    "In the aftermath of Twilight’s injury, Hyrule was thinking. Often.

    Not about Life, but about books, and who wrote them, and how.

    And thus, the experiment began.

    “Why are you buying so many green potions, Rulie?” Legend asked.

    Hyrule gave him a shark-tooth smile, a wolf-faced grin, the kind of expression that should occasionally come with blood in your teeth. “Research.”

    -

    Wild gets hurt, badly, and Hyrule taps into a power he hadn't been interested in using ever again. Except, Wild's been dead before, and the consequences of bringing him back again combined with Hyrule's own determination to see him healed are more than any of them know how handle.

    Summary

    "There are others who share your spirit–those bearing the name Link," the sorceress explains. "They are in grave danger. You must rescue them, and destroy the shadow that threatens to upheave time itself. Please…"

    Link doesn't understand what's so special about a knight-in-training who got captured in his first-ever battle, but he knows he can't stand by when other people are hurting.

    or

    Broken they may be, the Links still form a chain.

    Summary

    The Chain have saved the world dozens of times between them, but have still lost some of those that they held closest. With a shooting star and a recovered memory, though, perhaps some loved ones are not as lost as they fear.

    Or

    Sometimes, all you need to get a second chance is to ask for it.

    Updates Wednesdays.

    Summary

    Wind is no stranger to monsters.

    Two adventures taught him more than any boy ought to know about them. About the way they fight, the way they think. About what it takes to make a monster.

    This third adventure wants to test that. All across time there are monsters that are worse than they ought to be. Stronger. Smarter. Faster. Harder and harder to kill.

    Still, Wind is no stranger to monsters. Which is why when a ninth Link joins the Chain, he knows that there is something… wrong.

    Something very, very wrong.
