Fours Personal Space is Shadows Personal Space by siiracusa
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
23 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
Twilight seemed to accept Shadows' addition quicker than the rest as well, which had earned the Rancher some of Shadows' miniscule, yet existing respect. The rest were either left confused by Shadows' existence, or deeply suspicious of him, as if he could betray them any minute.
Shadow always snorted at those types of glances thrown his way. “Traitor?” he giggled. “If only they knew.” He nudges Four, amused, which earns him a deep sigh.
What was evident beyond all, was how close Shadow was with Four.

Or, a short oneshot where Shadow sticks closely to Four.

Summary
A group of heavily armed men, around 8 or 9, wandered around the clearing completing various chores. The sun was just dipping behind the horizon, and it seemed that they had just finished dinner. So these were the men who kidnapped his boyfriend. Shadow’s eyes narrowed.
Or, two weeks after Link's disappearance, Shadow finds him with a group of strange men in the woods. Obviously, these men had kidnapped Link, so Shadow tries to get him back. It goes about as well as you would expect.

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!

Buttered Pesto Toast by Illegible_Handwriting
Fandoms: Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
04 May 2025

Summary
“Please don’t bite my head off," the Shadow drawled, rolling his eyes. "Let’s just try again. Okay. So here’s the deal. You have something I want. Clearly, I have something you want. Let’s just truce.”
“What do you have that I could possibly want?” Warriors spat.
The Shadow smirked. “Hands, my friend. I can get you out of there. You’re not looking too good, though. You considering losing the legs, or what?”
Warriors just snarled.
“Look, I’ll get you free. Minimal damage, and you can just walk away. That’s that. But I want you to tell me what you know about Link.”
---
Deep in a labyrinth underneath Twilight's Hyrule, Warriors gets separated due to a cave-in. Injured, trapped, and alone, he's got one last ally that he'd sooner rip his own face off than accept help from.
aka the Shadow and Warriors fic that's been rotating in my brain for weeks now

Bookmark Notes:
Buttered Pesto Toast: finished.
oneshot. Shadow gets resurrected in Twilight'a era, and Warriors is the first to find him. or rather, be found by him. Shadow helps him walk, Wars helps him get out of the maze, and in the end Shadow tackles Four in the rain.

wet cat syndrome by LostAndDowned
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)
01 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The curse doesn't take hold anywhere but his own Hyrule and, upon learning this, things had changed. Slowly, but they did. And, since then? It could, quite possibly, be said that he's been slacking a little bit about it. Just a hair.
Still, how was he supposed to expect this to happen just from bleeding a bit on some glass?
Hyrule stares and regrets his choices.
[or: Hyrule blood-curses a very pathetic Shadow back to life. More at nine]
[or: Or: Day one of Whumptober! and I'm posting for two of Day 3's prompts: Isolation and Candlelight]

To Isolate by Polteageist (Poltea), sky_squido
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
14 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
Sky has only just figured out that Ganon is the manifestation of Demise's curse when he starts noticing... something working its way up the chain. Nobody is okay, Sky least of all, but he’s determined to figure out what’s going on or die trying.
He has no idea what he’s getting himself into.
This is a story of pain, fear, loss, and somehow, despite it all, courage.

Rain starts to slowly fall on the skylight in Link’s house. It was the first rainfall after a long heatwave, much to the relief of both him and Ravio.

So why was this anxiety pulling at his stomach?─────────
A Legend-Centric fic where he is the last to join the Chain!

As It Appears by Violoafforprez

Summary
“It’s your shadow! It’s got fangs-”
“-And claws-”
“-And piercing red eyes!”
Warriors, Wind, and Hyrule called out.
“It must be from the moon’s reflection.” Four reasoned, “The deep red of the Blood Moon is being bounced around the cave walls.”
But Warriors wasn’t convinced, because he knew real shadows didn’t work like that.--------
