Summary
Where the loss of ignorance is more valuable than the knowledge gained, and Edward figures out the source of alchemy a lot sooner than before.
"Edward has cockroaches under his skin and leeches in his veins. He's vibrating and bursting and his body is too small, too big, doesn't fit quite right. He needs Al to know - needs to tell someone, anyone, but he will cut out his own tongue before he burdens anyone else with this knowledge."

Summary
Shadow had a few issues with his resurrection. He wasn’t complaining about being brought back just yet, as it’d only been a few weeks, but there were a lot of problems that he simply didn’t have to deal with when he was dead.
The first and most important problem was, of course, that he was without his brothers; in fact, he learned pretty soon after he wasn’t even in the right time period anymore, which was concerning. The second problem was that he had managed to catch the eye of whatever new villain his brothers were fighting and they had been the one to bring him back. Because he couldn’t have a nice resurrection, no, of course not. He had a debt to repay, apparently.
aka: Shadow is brought back by Dark Link. This leads to many problems, the least of which being Dark himself.
Or: three times Shadow pranks the Chain and blames it on someone else, and one time he sort-of owns up to it.

Summary
It perhaps should have been expected that Wild's second journey left him with a few skills that he may or may not have forgotten to mention.
It perhaps should have also been expected that the second Four sees a cool weapon, they will immediately drop everything and hyperfixate on said weapon, even if the answer to how it was made isn't something they'd ever want to know.
OR
Four's reaction to learning about the fuse mechanic. Bonus minor angst in the background because I am me.

Wild's unconventional crafting sends Four on the warpath over the blasphemy of traditional blacksmithing. Poor Wild does not understand why fusing things together keeps driving their Smithy insane, and the Chain is very, very glad that Ganon is the target of Four's fury.

Summary
Link has not been himself in years. After splitting, staying as four people was much easier on the mind rather than trying to stuff four people in a trench coat. It was better this way.
Green got to go off and keep up appearances for anything too mind boggling for four of the same person to show up for. He was good at that diplomatic stuff.
Vio spent so much time with Shadow that it was briefly debated if bringing him back from the Dark World had attached them at the hip. Great company, but not tolerable 24/7 unless you just so happen to be Vio.
Blue was getting better at controlling his temper. It wasn't great, it still needed a lot of work, but effort was able to be seen. He and Green didn't fight nearly as much.
And Red? Red normally spent his time in the forge. He adored his brothers that both were and weren't himself, which was too confusing for even Vio to try to explain. It's hard to explain that to a bunch of strangers that show up asking about the hero, too, but Red is willing to try.

Summary
Wow I just completely forgot a summary when I posted this.
---
“What…what’s going on?”
“I need your help, Shadow,” he admitted. “I’ve heard about you, you know. What you’ve done. I could use your expertise.” Shadow’s blood ran cold, but he wasn't done. “However! Before we get into the nitty–gritty, I have a gift for you. It's right behind you.”
Shadow turned slowly, trying to keep half an eye on Dark. He didn't like the guy one bit. There was just something…off about him.
But when he turned around, all other thoughts left his mind. Because lit by a flickering brazier behind him, just like the others in the circle, was Link.

Shadow gets resurrected by Dark Link, who figures he's on his side! Yay!
The LU boys are also there. Much less yay!

Summary
At twelve years old, the Hero of Legend nearly dies inside the palace of the Four Sword. Worlds away, the Hero of Lorule is saved by the ghost of a shadow. Opposites and equals in every way, the two boys are haunted by the Hero of Light’s legacy.
Life goes on, through love and war and the machinations of gods.
Shadow never expected to wake up again after shattering the Dark Mirror. Without the Hero he was created to follow, what’s the point of him? It’s a brave new world, and Shadow has no choice but to change with it, blissfully unaware of the Four Sword resting just below his feet.
How do you react when faced with a past you long thought buried?

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.
