Summary
Two years ago, a war started. On one side were monsters and creatures that served the darkness. On the other were the Hylians and beings of the light. Some might expect that the Hyrulean army won, but… That's not what happened. The Dark Forces crushed your numbers until there were only two people left. The captain and his fairy. Hyrule and its royal family were gone. So, the duo fled. Now, they're in hiding, temporarily safe from the sorceress’s watchful eyes.

Summary
He didn’t want the strangers getting anywhere near him. He wanted his Mam, and he wanted to roll down the grassy hill with Linkle, and he wanted to sit in the worn rocking chair by the kitchen and try to sound out his Da’s books. But he knew he had no way of getting out of the trap by himself, and it hurt.
Or: Warriors gets de-aged just before he meets the Chain (in a rather unfortunate set of circumstances)

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?

The Frigid Peaks Of Madness by OrcusNoir

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
Blood traced a sluggish path down Warriors’ cheek and then dripped onto his exposed neck. It was warm. He blinked - once, twice, then rapidly as he tried to clear his pounding head. He stared blearily at his surroundings, finally dredging up two pieces of information.
One - something was seriously wrong with him. And two - he had no idea where he was, how he got there, or how much time had elapsed.

Four years have passed since the Chain last set foot in Rook’s Hyrule. Now, they’ve finally returned—but the reunion is far from peaceful, nor what they could have ever anticipated.
The news about Rook's sacrifice to save Hyrule hits hard, and though Demise has been vanquished for good, the danger is far from over. Ghirahim and Mirage still lurk in the shadows, and time is running out. Hylia and the Chain must act before the threat consumes everything.

Summary
Sky makes the mistake of going to the tavern with Warriors, and ends up spilling his darkest secrets.
“Truth is… never met Ganondork or whatever his name is. But I kinda got an idea of what ‘es like.” Sky said with a hiccup. Wars looked down at him with a raised eyebrow, chuckling. “Oh really?”
“I fought the thing that came before him.”
His eyes widened. “What?”
“Yeah… real petty piece of shit.”

Summary
To Four, Warriors is dangerous. Vio can see right through the ploy. Warriors displays himself as outgoing at heart and a pleasantly social person, yet underneath that, they know that there’s nothing but regret and other by-products of extremely unhealthy habits and patterns.
And now, it seems as if the mask is cracking and his fury is slipping away.
OR
Four decides to ask Warriors for some help in their studies, given that Warriors had always maintained top grades. Though, not everybody is perfect, and neither of them realized that until it was simply too late.

Summary
There was something Warriors was keeping from him, and even though he told Time they would talk about it later, it's been starting to feel as though 'later' would never happen. And with the new era they'd been dropped into, how dangerous the magic in the forest felt and how the nearby town had been dealing with strange disappearances, it seemed as though their conversation was just going to keep getting pushed back.
At least until Time realizes that what Warriors refuses to tell him might have something to do with the bodies in the woods.
