    Summary

    While already dealing with a faulty Sheikah Slate that’s been using him as a powerhouse since the Sheikah Towers sunk back into the earth, Link has been waking up in a trance-like state in the middle of the night.
    A tugging sensation pulls him to the West of Hyrule, prompting him to discover what greater purpose lies beyond his completed heroics. Here, a voice tells him to ‘join them’… but who?
    And when he does find them, how is he supposed to easily move with their already established dynamic as the odd man out? How is he supposed to endure such a new change in life?
    And here he just wanted to retire peacefully in Hateno Village with Zelda.

    Wild joins the Chain, then struggles to fit into the dynamic

    Summary

    En busca de un nuevo peligro que amenazaba con asaltar el Hyrule de Time, la cadena se adentró en las profundidades del Bosque Perdido guiados por su líder, quien abría el camino a través de la oscuridad. Sin embargo, lo que no se esperaron es que a veces el peligro podía estar más cerca de lo que pensaban. Podía estar en el árbol más cercano, en la flor solitaria que yacía a sus pies, en la brizna de hierba que se veía ligeramente sospechosa.

    Quién sabe, incluso quizá (solo quizá) podía estar en la forma de sus propios pasos. En el aire que les rozaba la cara. En la oscuridad de sus propias sombras.

    No sabían si estaba justo de pie delante suyo. O vigilándolos mientras dormían. O hablándoles usando palabras que de alguna manera se sentían en la voz incorrecta.

    Era difícil de creer que incluso podía estar mirándolos fijamente con la mirada que solía ser azul.

    Summary

    In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time’s Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn’t expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious.

    Who knows, it could even maybe —just maybe— be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows.

    They don’t know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice.

    It’s hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.

    Summary

    And if that wasn’t as bad enough, then the fact that nobody had cared enough to help Wild was even more troubling.

    Nobody had ever tried to help him. Nobody had ever defended him, or pulled Wild to the side and asked how he was really feeling.

    No. None of that. Wild knew that the others didn’t care about him, they never did. Instead, they just laughed at him. They laughed at how he was unable to fend off for himself, and never fought back, never said anything; Maybe they were right, maybe he was pathetic.

     

    OR

     

    Wild doesn't really like how the others are treating him.

    Summary

    A collection of oneshots dedicated to Time being a good dad, mostly to Twilight, sometimes to Wild and Wind, and very rarely the others.
    I'll make another oneshot book but I love Twilight and Time as a father-son duo and I NEED MORE OF THEM. Be warned, angst ahead.

    Summary

    It was either he ran away from it now, or pushed his stay, and had to eventually deal with the deep cut from Time kicking him out. He couldn’t handle that. Twilight couldn’t ever want to face such a fact from anyone but himself, let alone his own father.

    The name stung, rolling off his tongue as though it was an expletive. As though he wasn’t ever allowed to refer to Time that way.

    Twilight still thinks of the first time he accidentally called Time as his father. As the young and timid child he once was, one that was easily able to be scooped up away from trouble, and into the safety of Time’s arms. He’ll never forget how long the man cried, trembling and shaking as he turned his back to Twilight, not wanting the boy to see just how overcome he was with joy.

    Twilight remembered padding over to Time, tugging on his shirt with a small fist, asking if he wanted a hug.

    What happened to the sweet child you once were? Twilight stared at himself through the mirror, beyond the glass barrier and into the soul of the reflection. What have you done to him?

     

    OR

     

    Twilight wants to leave. He wants to outrun the pain... Does he?

    Summary

    And right now, Wind was seething in anger. It wasn’t fair.

    And he was getting tired of it.

    He was tired of being spoken about behind his own back, and laughed at as though he wasn’t the very star of it. Acting as though he had no feelings or thoughts of it either, and this wasn’t his life that they were poking fun at.

    He’s glad he ended up here, because it means that he fought for himself. And Wind would do it again.

    In which Wind gets into a fight at school. Time and Sky pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Wild offered no reply, instead flickering his gaze to Time’s for a split second before returning downwards. Accepting it as the best of Wild’s replies were ever going to come, Time had also been aware of Wild’s off behavior from early on.

    “Would you care for some company?” Time continued.

    Wild’s silence carried on, save for the clink of the glass bowl that he had placed in front of Time.

    Summary

    Expressing exasperation, Time reached over to the accusatory offering and leaned back as he appraised it. Taken from an undisclosed restaurant, it was an advertisement, appointing to a house of horror.

    “The Temple of Darkness?” Time quirked an eyebrow, dubiously reading the title clad in blinding red ink.

    “It’s uhh…” Time watched in fascination as Warriors racked his brain for answers, in desperate search of upholding a decent-enough explanation that Time would even consider offering permission. It was visibly a great struggle, in which both those and words would vice him. “What do you call a-”

     

    OR

     

    In which they go to a horror house, and it appears that not everyone can handle fear so well.

    Summary

    The Chain had a simple task before them: Hunt the black blood monsters that were attacking farms in the north before winter sets in, saving countless lives in the process.

    Little did they know that this simple quest of theirs would turn out to be a waking nightmare as a conspiracy begins to unravel before their very eyes.

    Soon the Chain will learn why Legend's timeline is in downfall, and why Hyrule's era is the way that it is.

    (A mostly Legend-centric story that tells the tale of the downfall of the Downfall Timeline. It wasn't just the Fallen Hero that caused it all, no, it was something far greater than that. A conspiracy, a cult, and a plan to save the world that went horribly, horribly wrong.)

    Summary

    Even so, Wild decided to have kept his memorabilia. From old gifts, to letters and notes, to even photographs.
    While it’s been years since he’s revisited them, Wild was sure that the recognition may hit him like a freight train.

    But he had to.

    It’s been long enough, he’s waited long enough. He can’t run from it forever, and Wild knew. Yet, he desperately tried to extend that wait of recalling as much as he could. And yet, he took today as a sign. Because if he didn’t get into it, then he was never going to do so, and the anchor was going to sink deeper and deeper as he went on.

    He was getting tired of that weight on him.

     

    OR

     

    Time decides it's time for everyone to clear the house of their old unwanted belongings. To some, it's a task that is just as easy done as said. To others, it brings them great pain.

    Summary

    What if Link and Zelda remembered their past lives? What if they knew each other before birth, when they were still spirits? What if they were Hylia's favorites? What if they were twins? What if they met the chain? What if they were gods? What if they knew Ganondorf and was his friend? What if they wanted to break the cycle? What if they went back in time multiple times to guide their previous incarnations? What if they had control over Time and Soul? What if they mutated their blood? What if, that's the question. Will they be able to hide the truth from the chain or will the truth come out one way or another.

    Hylia and the golden three were pissed, yes they had fun using the Tri-force to create chaos and had fun watching mortals scramble trying to face Demise and his reincarnations. What they didn't appreciate was the state the world was in. It was in ruins and nothing was left alive. They used their abilities and set the world back to the beginning. Though for more fun entertainment they chose the latest reincarnations of the hero, the princess, and demise to be gods. They all rule over their own domains. Time, Soul, Dimension.

    Summary

    Sometimes the information about a crewmate is never enough, especially not someone so young (or so damaged) as Wild. Link didn't want to be the one on site when he experienced uncontrolled rage--

    But there is no one more capable of handling it in the Kingdom than him: another, far more experienced Deity all his own.

    Legend had gotten used to being within the dreams of the Divine. It happened more often than he preferred, though he wouldn’t trade some dreams for the world.
    His ability, however, didn’t explain why he kept entering Time’s dreams.
