    Summary

    Hyrule knows better than to drink potions on an empty stomach, but after one particularly taxing fight with a lot of wounds to heal, he passes out before he has a chance to eat one of his sugar cakes. He resigns himself to suffer through the resulting stomach cramps alone; it’s his own fault after all, and the others don’t need to get worked up over something he knows isn’t a big deal. A certain someone, however, is determined to make it so he doesn’t have to suffer. And to get him some better sugar cakes too.

    Summary

    Snow is the incarnation of Ganon’s spirit, of this Wind was certain.

    He doesn’t care about what nonsense the others say about how Ganon is always a pig or man or something, Wind knew the truth. He was not fooled like his brethren. Pure evil came in the form of tiny white specks of pain.

    And right now Wind’s never seen so many specks in his life.

    Or-

    Wind and the snow have personal beef

    Summary

    Most Sheikah swore fealty to the goddess, and eventually the royal family, from an early age. Those who trained to be in service of either would have an official ceremony where they swore to give their lives to serve the goddess and protect her bloodline.

    This was the duty that Legend had, but that duty had nothing to do with the decision he made.

    Summary

    Legend’s life felt like one awful event after another, starting with the death of his parents and most recently the death of his best friend Marin. Sometimes it just felt like him and his brother, Hyrule, against the world.

    Or at least it did, until he found a wonderful, supportive group of friends.

    Summary

    Legend, Sky, and Time are separated from the rest of the group. Normally this would be fine, they were perfectly capable to take care of themselves.

    The problem came when someone from Legend's past noticed their presence and was quick to capitalize on it and their standing injuries.

    Summary

    "Why can't you ever just use a map! Follow the path!" Legend complained, Hyrule grinning in front of him.

    "Why would I even bother? It's so much more fun to not! I make my paths," Hyrule declared as he laughed.

    Legend covered his eyes with a hand. "You’re exhausting. "I'm the Traveler and I choose my own paths! No map can tell me what to do!"" He mocked.

    Hyrule just laughed at him.

     

    ... Legend wasn't laughing anymore.

    Summary

    Legend wasn't actively hiding his pedigree from the other heroes... but he was avoiding telling them that he was a prince as long as he could. Of course, he knew it wouldn't stay secret forever, but he would put it off to avoid the eventual betrayal from the knights in the group.

    Finally, that not-quite-hidden secret came to light when Legend took the other heroes to Hyrule Castle. At least the reveal itself had been amusing, it's aftermath? Not so much.

    Summary

    "No excuse," Legend exclaimed. "There is no excuse to be fighting a battle for a whole hour straight!"

    "Obviously you've never fought a war," Warriors deadpanned. "Got any injuries?"

    "No, for both, but still! Unholy amounts of enemies? Fine. I get it. But barely twenty? Against the nine of us? Goddesses, I could take out twenty alone on half my adventures within ten minutes!"

    "Oh shut up," Wild snorted. "Yeah right."

    Legend opened his mouth to retort only for not a sound to fall out. He sat up quickly as he heard Hyrule pipe up to side with him but that wasn't his worry.

    Why couldn't he speak?

    Summary

    Legend was never cruel or unhinged. His attacks led to a quick death and the hero never seemed to revel in bloodshed. Today all precedents were being thrown out the window.

    Legend has to protect Hyrule. He loses it a little bit.

    Summary

    After traveling together for so long, each Link has started to pick up on the more subtle "quirks".

    But quirks or not, they all have to care for each other, because they might all come from different periods in history and time, but they've form a weird "band of brothers" together.

    A slightly dysfunctional band, but a band nonetheless.

    (Angst and healing with fluff? Yeah that's this whole series. Enjoy :3)

    Summary

    Sometimes suffering and regret have the same noise. Who knew that the sound of shattering glass was so synonymous?

    --

    All she can do is wonder how he’ll look in a couple of years when the slow creep of the stain stops. It haunts her dreams, tinged in smoke and with the sounds of shattering glass.

    Summary

    The group keeps getting ambushed and so Legend takes matters into his own hands. One bad magical ring decision later.

    “An hour. Then I’m dragging him back.” Hyrule looked into the Captain's eyes. Wars regarded him for a second before breaking into a smile.

    “Sounds good to me Hyrule.”
    An hour passed and the Veteran had not returned.

    Summary

    “Well,” the boy said to it as the sun dipped closer to the trees, “your hero didn't show up yet, but I bet they're coming! I bet they're real nice, too. You’re probably going to save the world together.”

    He was borrowing it. He was borrowing the Sword of Legend, and… what, checking in to see if it was needed? Waiting for a hero to come for it?

    It wasn’t sure what to think. It wasn’t supposed to think about its wielders. But it found itself looking forward to the stories, keeping an eye out while the boy slept, memorizing as much of the information he gave it as it could.

    Its job was to protect the innocent, after all.

     

    Or: Hyrule finds a sword. The sword has opinions about this.

    Summary

    The Champion cleared his throat with a rough cough. “Um, this hero, he-” Wild’s brows furrowed even deeper than before, a little bit of horror slipping into his expression. “...I don’t know if I should say.”

    In an instant, all eyes were on Hyrule. “How bad is it, Cub?” Twilight wondered, frowning as his gaze flickered between Wild and Hyrule.

    Wild cringed. “...Bad.

    “...Maybe we shouldn’t-” Warriors began.

    “Say it.” Hyrule blinked at Wild, expression tired and miserable. He tilted his head toward the others. “Tell them.”

    A discussion about timelines quickly takes a turn for the worse.

    Summary

    The Hylian Champion of Hyrule was no stranger to different environments. Snow, lava, rocky gorges, windy valleys, he'd experienced them all. But that was when he had supplies. Mostly. Now he's stranded all alone with no supplies, no Slate, and no fellow heroes.

    The cold can be cruel and unforgiving...

    Summary

    “‘M jus’... not worth it,” he says quietly, so quietly he can barely hear himself. “‘Not worth stayin’ for, I mean. ‘N I dunno how I’m foolin’ y’all into thinkin’ so.”

    Silence stretches between them, thick and heavy. Twilight digs one of his canines into his lip as guilt swarms in his throat; that wasn’t fair. It’s not right to just dump shit on people just because he’s feeling like this. Legend’s eyes have gone wide, his body still, like he’d just now understood something. Twilight throws back another gulp of whiskey and tells himself it’s because of the resulting burn that there’s tears in his eyes.

    “Yeah,” Legend says suddenly and slowly, drawing out the word by the vowels. “Fuck that, actually.”
    - - -

    or: Twilight alone with his thoughts and a bottle of whiskey is never a good combination. Legend decides it's time to smack some sense into him.

    Summary

    As the flames in his palm began to flicker, panic struck Hyrule. His magic was nearly gone– he could feel the drain already. He quickly put out the fire, squeezing his hands into fists as he brought them to his temples. Hyrule shook his head frantically, sliding down against one of the cave walls until he was sitting on the cold, unforgiving ground.

    He would have a word with Wild when he got out of here.

    If he got out.

    “Has anyone seen Hyrule lately?”
