  1. Summary

    War Games is a collaborative AU created by Team Tactics, based on the premise "What if Spirit was in the War of Ages... and what if that wasn't a good thing?" It is a branching-timeline story that is currently being written into a longfic and multiple side stories. The main themes are the meaning of the "greater good," the worth of pyrrhic victories, love as both a destructive and regenerative force, grief and recovery, and the ways people react to pressure. Remember: war does not forge good people.

    There are a number of “side stories” and “what-if stories” in the AU, which are told in the War Games Side Stories series. These stories are mostly non-canonical to the core series and are written by Team Tactics. Side stories will be added to the series in no particular order, but the series will be maintained in chronological order (or as close as we can get with a time travel/alternate universe story).

    Team Tactics consists of five members: shadows_of_stars, TwoDumbasses, Hytia, Rose, and twistsandturns. shadows_of_stars is our primary “prosist” (turning the story into fic) — blame them for any issues with the writing.

    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.

    Summary

    All of the Ordon children were familiar with the Wolf, it practically lived in Kakariko during the latter half of the Twilight invasion. Colin however, was more than familiar. Now that he was home he missed seeing the Wolf at night. Link was also acting distant ever since they'd finally gone home.

    Just what happened?
