Summary
Vio sat down at his desk, took a deep breath, and picked up his comb, running it through his hair over and over and over. No tangles, no knots, not so much as one hair out of place. He’d been planning this far too carefully to let anything trip him up here.
Finally, his hair - grown out just past his shoulders for this specific occasion - shone in the candlelight like spun gold. He ran the comb through it six or seven more times, just to be absolutely sure, then picked up the scissors.
Or: How do you mourn a piece of yourself?

Summary
Four has already figured it out. He’s been looking around, and Legend can see that he’s noted the walls, and the carvings, and the fact that this whole place is overrun with monsters.
“This isn’t exactly a palace, is it, Legend?” Four says, testing out the words. “It’s a tomb. My tomb.”
---------
A fresh, bright hibiscus rests daintily behind one ear as she sways in place, humming a tune Legend knows in the depths of his soul. Her name chokes in Legend's throat. He can’t move; can barely think—
“Marin?”
Legend whips around— It wasn’t him who said that.
It was Warriors.
---------
In which a visit to the Palace of the Four Sword sets a series of conflicts and reveals in motion.

Harry Potter: Four Swords Adventures by Garden_Eel

01 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Strange storms begin lashing at the castle and sickly mists begin bubbling up from below the dungeons. Something is afoot in Hogwarts and Harry Potter stumbles upon it, as he always does. When he accidentally unleashes the wind mage Vaati from his prison, it's up to Harry, his friends, and his new "brothers" to put Hogwarts right again. An original "game" set in Harry's third year, combining various gimmicks and geographical quirks from across Zelda canon. Deep knowledge of Zelda lore is not a prerequisite for reading, I promise. It's not like the HP kids know what an Octorok is from the get-go!

Summary
The first time Vio saw Shadow, the phantom had seemed larger than the world. He was the frame and the centerpiece of the night scene, and even now Vio finds his breath just a bit quicker at the memory. Shadow had been dramatic and simply taken joy in scaring others into agreement and subservience, including Vio at the time, but the effect on an audience without the all too intimate knowledge of his wishes and fears was undeniably chilling.
The next first time, after a suicide and theft and forceful reversal of his choice, Ganon’s general resembles the confidence of his former status as much as the shade under a tree at noon resembles the night.
This AU is the same as my Castle Route fix-it AU, but if the Yiga hadn‘t been caught by the knights just after resurrecting Shadow and they‘d instead taken him with them. Basically: 1) the Yiga exist, 2) Shadow left behind force gems after his death that Vio took with him, 3) he researched force gems in general and experimented with reviving animals, 4) the Yiga stole Shadow‘s and resurrected him.

Summary
"What..?" Shadow breathed. "What the fuck are you talking about?!" Shadow screeched, stomping his foot on the ground. His hands were curled in balls so tightly that red crescents formed from the pressure of his unkept nails.
"I'm alive, aren't I?" Four laughed, manic. "I-I'm not laying dead in a ditch somewhere, I must thank you for your time!"
"What? I-"
"No, no- Really, I mean it!" Four grinned like the Cheshire himself. "I don't need you anymore."
Shadow felt as though icicles pierced through his always-cold skin. His blood ran even colder than it already was.
"Its over!" Four announced, clearly blinded by some sort of false reverie and disbelief.
"You're damn right it is." Shadow spat.
OR
Four can't get over the past. Loss always follows.
