Summary
Prompt: Above all else, what Link needs most is kindness.
No, Ravio and Link were not perfect. Still, they were real, and Ravio would not give up his mirror, come hell or high water. He had earned the right to call Link his, and would keep that right if he had anything to say about it.

Ties That Bind by AideStar

Summary
“This,” Shadow pulled out the mirror, waving it around for emphasis a foot from Vio’s face. “Doesn’t work. I got about a hundred feet from those Goddess-forsaken ruins when I started feeling like shit, but when I tried to go back in the mirror--” Shadow waved his hands more, sharp teeth bared. “Nothing! I’m stuck here!”
“That shouldn’t be the case--” Vio began, the pain in his skull lessening enough to let him think. And as soon as he did, the pieces snapped into place, creating a grim picture of his error clear in his mind. “Oh, shit.”
“What? What is it?” Shadow scrambled forward, latching slightly sharp fingers onto Vio’s shoulders. “What did you do to me?”
“It’s actually ‘what did I do to us’, I’m afraid."---
Vio manages to bring Shadow back to the light world, but a small mistake leads to a terrible fate for more than just the two of them... or, an opportunity to strengthen the ties that bind.

Summary
Once, Hyrule was the only person he knew named Link. He was the only person who had held the triforce, the only person who had to run from the forces of evil, to defeat an enemy too great when he was too young, too small, too alone. Once, he cast a desperate bit of arcane magic and thrust himself and eight strangers on a quest.
Now, Legend smiles more, and Twilight's shadows are a little lighter. Now Wind laughs as loud as a storm with Sky's smile as soft as the following calm.
Someday soon, Wild will stand in a land of darkness, fighting an enemy all too easy to laugh off, though the darkness doesn't laugh. The shadows themselves will plot and scheme. Soon Wars' own darkness with reach out for him. It isn't long until Four is haunted by his own shadow. Maybe, if they had enough warning there would be something that could be done.
The problem with Time is that he knows the cost of meddling. Then, now, and then again, he was, is, and will be unable to warn them all properly. That's the issue with time travel. For those outside of the stream, the course of it can't be seen, can't be planned for. By the time you realize it's happened, it's already too late.

Draw a Circle Around Your Grief by Pokegeek151

Summary
Four was always the sensible one, especially among the younger heroes. He was always able to see more sides of an issue than the rest of them, and he was always able to tell when they needed to pull back from an idea so crazy it would have taken someone else intervening to see it was crazy and reckless.
Four knew loss, as well. Legend didn't know who precisely it had been for Four, only that he was mature and sensible enough to have processed his grief better than Legend ever could. It infuriated him sometimes, Four's solidity in the face of grief, but who was he to judge?
When Legend found himself grieving again alongside Four, he hadn't expected the watery, manic grin and the offer to try some dark magic to bring their lost ones back. Especially since he had caught Four in what Legend had instinctively called his purple mood, usually the most sensible one of them all. But if Four thought it was okay, who was Legend to say no?

Summary
The harsh screech of glass shattering. A belated speech. Forgiveness, maybe? Then, a bright, searing light, though this time it does not burn him like before.
Time passes.
Shadow does not.
