Summary
While already dealing with a faulty Sheikah Slate that’s been using him as a powerhouse since the Sheikah Towers sunk back into the earth, Link has been waking up in a trance-like state in the middle of the night.
A tugging sensation pulls him to the West of Hyrule, prompting him to discover what greater purpose lies beyond his completed heroics. Here, a voice tells him to ‘join them’… but who?
And when he does find them, how is he supposed to easily move with their already established dynamic as the odd man out? How is he supposed to endure such a new change in life?
And here he just wanted to retire peacefully in Hateno Village with Zelda.OR
Wild joins the Chain, then struggles to fit into the dynamic

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.
OR: Four, Wind and Time accidentally make everyone's lives even more difficult.

Summary
“Do you think I could become a doctor one day?” Hyrule asked, voice full of curiosity.
“If you study hard and never give up, then sure!” Time replied. “You can be anything you want.”
Legend rolled his eyes, grumbling something under his breath.
Four trails near behind Legend, internally noting on the hitch in his gait. “You seem bothered.” They blurted out.
“No shit.”
Four winced, “No, I mean you aren’t yourself. Are you doing alright?”
OR
Time figures it's best to take Hyrule, Legend, and Four to the hospital to fix their spotty (and nonexistent) medical records. Of course, this is easier said than done. Because there was one extremely important thing that Time had completely forgotten about.

It was supposed to be a day off for them all while Time healed from a nasty injury. It turned into this small nowhere town being overrun by six "children" all searching for "their mother's" world-ending purse. Warriors would have helped of course, but his hands were quite full at the moment with another small problem. (It's Legend, Legend's the problem)

Summary
Afterwards, Twilight had admitted to Sky that he didn’t see it happen. The goatherd and Wind had been fending off a pack of Wolfos all the way across the battlefield. They had only heard the startled cries, felt the earth rumble with Hyrule’s thunder, smelt the burning ozone in the air.
Sky hadn’t been as lucky. He had been sitting right next to Vio when it happened. The Color had been protecting him, after all.Vio is badly injured in battle.

Summary
“I’m sorry, Four,” Sky said sorrowfully, wiping at his leaking nose with a handkerchief yet again. “I would go myself, but-”
“Like hell you would,” Four retorted, gently pushing his brother back down into the pillows. “You are staying right there until you can at least walk to one end of the hallway and back without passing out. I can deal with Mistress Cia for a few days on my own, no problem.”
Bloodshot, royal blue eyes gazed pitifully up at him. “But you shouldn’t have to.”
“Is what it is, Sky. If it’ll give you a break, I don’t mind it.” And he didn’t, truly. He leaned in and briefly pressed his forehead into Sky’s burning temple as the older aspect shivered and trembled like a leaf against him, even bundled in three layers of blankets. “Just focus on resting, okay?”
(or: Cia's littlest plaything is forced to to make a terrible choice.)

“Wait!” Hyrule said, standing up abruptly, “My era has a cure for colds!”

Summary
Legend sighed, waiting for Hyrule to get his milk. He glanced around the bar, gaze settling on one bargoer in particular. He was tall and skinny, back hunched slightly from years of bad posture. He was nursing a beer, clearly not his first of the night. Legend narrowed his eyes at the man, quickly noticing that his beady eyes were focused on Hyrule.
Legend glanced between his companions, humming uncertainly. “Let’s grab a table,” he decided, grabbing Hyrule by the sleeve to lead him away. Four passed some rupees across the counter and Legend quickly snatched the forgotten gin and tonic for himself as the three of them left the bar to sit somewhere else.
Hyrule, Legend, Four, Twilight, and Warriors explore a Castle Town bar. Things don't go as smoothly as expected, and Hyrule disappears while unable to defend himself.

Summary
Legend was not the kindest Link, he was sharp and he was not afraid to snap at anyone for any reason. This causes some problems between him and Twilight.
Legend honestly is just bad at talking to people, so when his inability to be nice when trying to tell someone to take some personal regard for their safety (at least from his perspective) is called out, he decides to fall back on some old, fairly unhealthy coping mechanisms: specifically, silence.
