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.--------

Summary
All Zeldas can tell when there's dark magic about. Artemis is maybe just a little more suspicious about it than most. Shadow doesn't really appreciate that.

A Study of Darkness (and its Light) by FloatingNebulas

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.

i'll throw it for you (if you'll chase it) by Seeking7 for obsidianshadow_01

Summary
"Shadow doesn't look like anyone's reflection anymore. He no longer wore his hat, and his skin had lost its greyish pallor. He was tanned now, chasing after fairies, talking about antimicrobial compounds and livestock and future plans that Four would never envision for himself.
At one point, they had been twins, the same soul with a different shape. But they are no longer identical, or even mirror images. Four wonders what that makes them now."
Four never expects to see Shadow again, so he is understandably surprised when they bump into each other. Together, they heal old wounds, but the rest of the chain doesn't know what to make of Four's new companion.
+ + + +
AKA: Four and Shadow reunite, and the others get suspicious of the smithy's new friend.

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
Kakariko City is a bustling coastal city, home to entrepreneurs, CEOs, local tech companies, artists, and every sort of person you could imagine, including criminals. The local criminal underground houses a considerable sum of criminals, and gang activity is simply a day-to-day occurrence.
The most notorious of these gangs is a crew with nine known members called the Chain. The Chain is known by the public as the crew who consistently fails overly-elaborate heists on hilariously small targets. To the criminal underground, however, they are the most prominent enemy of the Yiga gang and the most dangerous crew on this side of Hyrule. Each member of the Chain is known to have their own unique set of skills, and when they choose to get along, those who get in their way know them to be an unstoppable force. Some even say they have connections to the mafia.
What many don’t know is where these infamous criminals came from, so settle down, and I will tell you the tale of how this crew came to be.

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.

Four is a useful unit in battles

Summary
The forest is quiet. Too quiet. The moon slowly creeps up towards its peak, and a new sound dies out with every passing minute. The clear night sky darkens further, and the malice begins rapidly swirling upward, forming large, thick red clouds.
The Blood Moon rises once again.
And with it, a sleeping copy of Four that seems to have no interest in anything but cuddling with him.

Summary
Their smithy is a little strange, a little mischievous, a little feral, but it’s fine, because he’s their brother.
After all, he's a hero, and every hero was strange in their own way. These are all perfectly normal consequences of an adventure or three... right?

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.
Complete.

My Shadow, It Follows Behind by Violoafforprez

Summary
Well… that was until Legend broke the silence, “Ya’know, Four, why’s your shadow so weird?”
It wasn’t making the same movements as Four. Sure, it followed him around like it’s supposed to, but it was clearly trying to give Legends own shadow bunny ears.

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.

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.

Legend and Ravio play "shadow minions" to avoid giving up completely on their vacation. The chain is confused. Shadow is absolutely on board!
(Wind: why is Ravio trying to rob us???
Warriors: WHERE DID HE EVEN COME FROM!?!
Time: ...are you ok?
Ravio: *wail of a very stressed bunny*)

Summary
Time was there for them. He always was. Long ago, he had stepped in willingly as their parental figure, and ever since then, he had promised his boys that they were always allowed to be comforted, valued, and happy. And no matter how much of a struggle it was to convince them to love, Time won't ever give up. Not on himself, not on his boys.
