    Summary

    A series of disconnected Linked Universe stories, some of which are AUs for some of my other fics. No continuity between fics in this series, just shenanigans!

    Summary

    When Shadow shattered the Dark Mirror, he had expected to die. That had certainly happened. It was very painful and he would really like to not do it again.

    What he hadn't expected was to wake up on the floor of a very creepy castle, be mistaken for a severed portion of Dark Link's reflection of the Hero's Spirit, and essentially be coerced into working for Ganondorf to attack the group of time-traveling heroes that Link had apparently, somehow, joined.

    Shadow was only supposed to survive for long enough to figure out where the mirror that Ganondorf probably had his soul connected to was, and how to get back to Link. He wasn't supposed to get attached to Dark Link. He also wasn't supposed to start seeing a younger version of himself, from before Vio came crashing into his life, in him. He especially wasn't supposed to start trying to teach Dark how to live beyond the confines of the battle he had known for so long.

    Or, Shadow adopts a new kid/brother, pulls a Vio (in more ways than just spying on the enemy from inside), and has way too much fun mentally cussing out Ganondorf.

    Summary

    The smithy had always been strange. They’d been strange from the day the chain meet them, with warnings from guards and fear from townsfolk. They’d been strange when they spoke of traitors and brothers.

    But the chain still trusted them. The smithy was a hero just like everyone one of them. Yet the violet in their eyes bore into the soul and the pommel of their blade swirled with a darkness. The way they spoke in that cold manner made a sense of dread curl up in the chain’s stomach.

    Summary

    Wow I just completely forgot a summary when I posted this.

    ---

    “What…what’s going on?”

    “I need your help, Shadow,” he admitted. “I’ve heard about you, you know. What you’ve done. I could use your expertise.” Shadow’s blood ran cold, but he wasn't done. “However! Before we get into the nitty–gritty, I have a gift for you. It's right behind you.”

    Shadow turned slowly, trying to keep half an eye on Dark. He didn't like the guy one bit. There was just something…off about him.

    But when he turned around, all other thoughts left his mind. Because lit by a flickering brazier behind him, just like the others in the circle, was Link.

    ---

    Shadow gets resurrected by Dark Link, who figures he's on his side! Yay!

    The LU boys are also there. Much less yay!

    Summary

    Mirrors of the heroes, created by all that the heroes refuse to acknowledge about themselves. Their darkest, most un-heroic qualities formed together to create an individual born to hate and slay their counterpart as a twisted test of competency.

    They were shadows or dark copies of their heroes, and Ravio is fairly certain he's not supposed to be right now.

    Summary

    Link, now apparently going by Wild, finds himself in a tricky situation with more questions than answers. What's a shade? How does he pretend to be one? And did he accidentally join the dark side? He's unsure, mostly because there are no cookies.

    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.

    Summary

    When Time’s elite pack raids a Yiga hideout, they're ready for combat, magic, even Majora’s twisted mind games—but not for the traumatized omega left behind. Malnourished, defensive, and heartbreakingly unable to offer any name other than his dynamic—"Omega"—he earns the nickname "Wild" for his wary, feral demeanor.

    Wild remembers little beyond captivity. His past is fragmented and uncertain, but slowly he's beginning to trust the pack’s steady promises of safety. Just as he starts to accept it might be real, the pack discovers exactly who they've rescued: Link, Twilight's childhood friend who he hasn't been able to find for nearly ten years.

    Now Wild is caught in the crossfire of political tensions, a monarchy teetering on the brink, and an ancient magical threat quietly rising beneath Hyrule. Wild never asked to be anyone’s symbol, weapon, or pawn—but both enemies and allies are determined to use him. Finding safety was difficult enough; believing he deserves it might be even harder.

    Summary

    ”Dark Link.”

    Ghirahim.

    “If you escape, it’ll be treated as a case of treason. Do you understand?”

    They both knew what treason meant. It meant being killed.

    “I can’t die.”

    The look on Ghirahim’s face was nothing short of ghastly.

    “We’ll make you wish you could.”

    Or; Dark is kept in a small, empty room for hours at a time as punishment whenever he fails to kill the heroes. It does more damage than he realises, and, when a foiled escape plan somehow leads to Dark ending up among the chain... Maybe he can start to heal.

    Summary

    “So,” Malon states levelly, “for some reason, the guy you attacked, chained up, and imprisoned in our pantry, isn’t being cooperative.”

    The pantry door rattles, angry hissing coming from within.

    The collection of Links in her kitchen appear rather sheepish. Her own Link blinks back at her, “…Well, when you word it like that…”

    -Or-

    Heroes have been pulled together from across time to face a mysterious threat, but accidentally find a Link with a darker tale to tell.

    Summary

    Link sighed. "Did you have a nightmare?" He reached for a nearby lamp, lighting it to fill the tent with a warm glow.

    He stood up to take a step towards Mask, but promptly froze in place.

    "Sprite?"

    The boy in the corner wasn't his brother.

    Summary

    Legend finds himself in a forest with no memory of how he got there, much less why he was half covered in blood and his clothes were torn. He found the others and found out he’d been missing for days, ending up on the receiving end of a lecture about running off until he snaps.

    Summary

    Time shuffles up to standing, taking in his surroundings. There isn’t much to see, unfortunately. The cell is built of solid stone bricks, the floor covered in dust, scraps of rubble, and questionable dark stains. The front of the cell is a wall of metal bars, cut through the middle by a door with a thick lock. He walks over and grabs the bars of the door, shaking them testingly. They barely budge.

    The sound of shuffling chains reaches his ears.

    “…Is someone there?” he asks cautiously.

    When the reply comes, it’s dry and sarcastic. “I wish I wasn’t.”

    -Or-

    Time gets tossed into prison, one even he has trouble escaping from... His only company? A snippy and sarcastic stranger in the next cell over.

    Summary

    Legend is on vacation, at least he was supposed to be. He did not think his attempt to avoid another adventure, would result in him getting mistaken for a villain. Unfortunately, Ravio is stuck with him. At least he knows how to act his way through most situations.
