Summary:

'“Okay, so where are you going with all of this?” Legend finally snapped, leaning forwards with a glare.

“This is why I have called you here. We wish to pass a bill,” Zelda spoke, her voice low as she studied all of the heroes. “This bill would state that all heroes in the far future will operate under the command of the royal family - including all of you while you are in this era. You will only act on threats if and when it is deemed necessary, as will future heroes.”

The silence in the air was deafening.'

Alternatively; We take the plotline for Captain America: Civil War, take off a few bits and pieces, and then shove it in a blender with all of the Links. Enjoy!

"Regrets" by Wisetypewriter

-👻

Summary:

All of them are sitting on secrets. For Twilight, there are only two he can't stop thinking about, can't let himself forget.

He is Time's direct descendant.

And Time will die with regrets in his heart heavy enough to chain him to Hyrule until he can pass down his sword techniques.

He hadn't realized these two secrets were connected.

Summary:

“You wish for me to infiltrate their ranks, master?”

Dark Link tries to keep the incredulous disbelief from his voice. Unfortunately, it didn’t matter how idiotic this plan or his master was being, if that is what Demise wanted, that would be what it got. Demise did not accept disobedience. Or failure.

Which is how Dark finds himself staring down the blades of nine heroes, wondering why this is his life.

“So,” he begins. “Sorry ‘bout the whole, uh, trying to kill you repeatedly for millennia thing.” For some reason, this makes the heroes tense further. “…No hard feelings?”

By @shearlin

Summary:

Legend's love language is gift giving. Not that it's relevant at all, those are not gifts. He just have a lot of equipment and experience - he's the veteran for Din's sake - and he cares about efficiency. He's solving problems he notices, so they don't bother him anymore. There's nothing more to it. They are not friends, they're coworkers at best. That's all. And if he gives away a piece of his heart in every gift... it does not need to be acknowledged.

As if other heroes would allow for that to happen.

Summary:

The weather, cold and wet for days straight, has left some of the group a bit sick. Everyone is pleased when they finally come across a town in whatever era this is, and head straight for the inn. But the couple that own the place aren't happy to see the heroes and beg them to leave the village before nightfall. For almost a week the town has been under a curse that activates once the sun sets. No Link would ever leave such a situation alone and they decide to stay anyway and investigate. What is this curse? What does it do? Who or what is behind it? It's a hero's job to find out no matter the risk to themselves!

Summary:

Mask had been living with his big brother Warriors and their aunt for most of his life since the death of his parents. After graduating high school at 13 he picks up a hobby that his brother thinks is a waste of his talents, until his brother takes him to his college and Mask realizes he would do ANYTHING to get into Hyrule Institution of Technology.

A tragic event uncovers a mystery, and it’s up to Mask and his brother’s friends to figure out what’s going on.

Summary:

Will Twilight ever admit to being Wolfie? Will Legend ever admit to being in pain? Will Time ever tell the others about that possessed mask he's been carrying around, and will Wild ever mention the fact that he may or may not have befriended the enemy? Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z. Or, possibly, in this fic. Takes place after In Which Wild Avoids Meeting the Gang. Fic is a WIP and tags/warnings may change as it progresses. Not LU canon compliant, but vaguely Zelda Timeline compliant.

Summary:

“If I do manage to figure this technology out, we’ll need these to be beacons. But… don’t hold your breath. This stuff is years ahead of tech like my slate.” -- The portals are tech. After the final battle, the Chain goes their separate ways. Fortunately, Wild and Flora are very smart and manage to unravel some of the tech. Hypothetical ending where everyone is as happy as possible! (Not all of them go home unscathed. Some have lasting injuries. This is sad and angsty for about three chapters but otherwise pure fluff.)

I just read this unfinished fic that takes place in a nuclear wasteland and it's really, really good. One of the best AUs I've ever read.

Chain Reaction by Hreathmus Several decades ago, a nuclear disaster turned most of United Hyrule into a radioactive wasteland. Most of the citizens moved across the eastern ocean to New Hyrule, but a few communities still scrape a living on the old continent. The government of United Hyrule employs some of those who wouldn't or couldn't cross the sea to keep an eye on the Wasteland, which isn't quite as uninhabited as it seems.

I would LOVE if you could promote the fic Down by RokettoMusashi - that is my number one favorite LU fic out there at the moment. It’s a 5+1 style hurt/comfort sickfic that’s Sky-centric and exceptional at exploring how each Link responds to illness, showing weakness, and accepting unconditional love. ❤️

Oh yeah, this is one of my favourites!

Summary:

(adjective) 1. to or in a lower or worse condition or status; defeated; not operating or able to function (noun) 2. a covering of soft, fluffy feathers characteristic of birds.

// A multichapter sickfic featuring Sky being the chain's primary caretaker as they're sick and laid up one by one. Purely self-indulgent h/c, I think the kids call this an 8+1.
