Summary
Vio Link is a traitor. Shadow knows what to do with traitors. Traitors die. He shouldn't have won. Now there's Three Links, their Shadow, and Four Swords.

Dead Vio, Oh No by BlupeeBlep

Summary
Vio's eyes widened and he gasped, voice open to scream, when the sword cut into him, and then through him. His sword fell from numbing fingers, quickly losing their life colour. Knees thumped into cold stone floor as Vio panted from a mouth getting slick from blood, hands shaking and at his sides. He looked up onto icy Blue eyes, and fell over. Normally cold arms, yet now warmer than he is, catch him and cradle his head. Tears fell onto his face, and he lazily blinked them away from his eyes. Shadow's golden eyes looked at him with such sadness, and he was mouthing something. Shadow shouldn't be sad, he's already a very unfortunate creature. Vio lifted a weak, shaking arm to Shadow's face. But it never was able to touch. Violet eyes glassed over, and his arm fell limp.

Harry Potter: Four Swords Adventures by Garden_Eel
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
06 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Strange storms begin lashing at the castle and sickly mists begin bubbling up from below the dungeons. Something is afoot in Hogwarts and Harry Potter stumbles upon it, as he always does. When he accidentally unleashes the wind mage Vaati from his prison, it's up to Harry, his friends, and his new "brothers" to put Hogwarts right again. An original "game" set in Harry's third year, combining various gimmicks and geographical quirks from across Zelda canon. Deep knowledge of Zelda lore is not a prerequisite for reading, I promise. It's not like the HP kids know what an Octorok is from the get-go!

Summary
Shorts from an adorable SDV four swords AU Vidow .
(Vio is the farmer)Vio hummed in thought, walking a bit sluggish towards town. The skies turned, opening into darker hues; the reds muddling into purples and midnight blues. He pulled out a small notebook, turning to a page of names. He’d been given them by the mayor as a little task. Get to know everyone in town, settle in, make a few friends. Friends go far in a small town like this. One name not crossed.
Shadow.
(Character death is VERY temporary like they have a fairy on hand immediatley temporary) added racism tag becuase shadow is half void monster and some of the towns people are monster racist (speciesest?) -

Summary
That sword did this, didn't it. It did something to the boy, and now the shadow is here, in cold and gray and no control of its body.
It's not really his fault, but it thinks it might hate the boy, actually.
Or: Shadow had been conscious in Link's shadow even before Vaati summoned him through the mirror.

Summary
Hey, Sailor, it’s the Captain.
The Rancher, Traveller, Champion, Veteran and I are fine. We slowly met up one-by-one, though the exact timing was different for everyone, and we are still trying to find the Old Man, the Smithy, and Sky. Before meeting up with us, the Champion found some notebooks in an era shortly before the Traveller’s time from you that explained where you were.
Congratulations, Sailor! You’ve stumbled into a time loop!--the Champion.

Summary
When Vaati first approaches him with the new plan, Shadow hates it. It’s stupid, he tells him, to sacrifice someone in this way as a failsafe when the side of Darkness is inevitable going to win. But Vaati says he’s already proposed the plan to Ganon and the king of Darkness himself has agreed that it can only facilitate the crushing of light. So there’s no room for arguing.
Basically, I wanted an excuse to have the colours and Shadow go to the human world and adapt. So I made a plot to get it to happen :) Since they need the four swords to get rid of Ganon (because they vanquish darkness) I thought what if they just got rid of the swords. What would they do. So the fic is just Shadow steals the swords, goes to the human world, befriends some cool as fuck lesbians, discovers Rhianna and is a gay idiot with Vio because the colours go throught the portal as well to get the swords back. Idiotic shenanigans ensue.
Please note I've never played the games, but I've been reading the manga since I was ten so I felt relatively qualified to write this. Enjoy :3
