Summary
Warriors didn't like that. He didn't like how Time knew everything, how Time was always there to help him. For once, Warriors wanted to suffer on his own, by his own hands. Time didn't need to know. Warriors didn't want Time to know.
Because if Time knew, then not only would he want to help Warriors, but also stop him. If Time knew, then Warriors was going to have his blade taken away, have his bleeding, gaping wounds get lovingly wrapped and covered to heal. And even worse, Time was going to hold him through it all. He was going to caress Warriors' frail hands, bring them up, and kiss them. He would have tears in his eyes, Time's voice would fail him as he would promise Warriors over and over again, just how loved he is. That he doesn't ever need to fall to this, and that Warriors is safe here. Warriors could already see that happening. He doesn't want that. He doesn't want his pity.
OR
Warriors comes to a realization.

Summary
Link shivered beneath a blanket, arms huddled in close to this chest. He was half sure he was dreaming. His head ached, heavy like an overstuffed turkey. The green glow did not help. Hylian faces looked alien in this light, escaping the grasp of familiarity. He watched them for a moment longer, hoping the old man would be there among them. Then, self-pitying in his failure to find him, he let his head loll back against the pillow with a groan.
The pillow that shifted beneath him, to his mild alarm. A rumble of laughter met his ears, vibrating against his skin.
“Had a good nap?” came the old man’s voice, soft and amused.
Oh. There he was.

Summary
When a portal splits the Chain, Warriors finds himself injured and alone in an unfamiliar Hyrule. It really is just his luck that- after causing a distraction in the middle of the battle, he'd be dumped out by himself.
But it doesn't take long for someone to find him."The words should be comforting, but they aren’t. Something in Warriors’ blood is thrumming with the urge to flee. Something else in the tall man’s face- something that Warriors’ terrible eyes still cannot make out- tells a story his words don’t."

El Azul Ausente de Tu Mirada by amayis_bigtower

Summary
En busca de un nuevo peligro que amenazaba con asaltar el Hyrule de Time, la cadena se adentró en las profundidades del Bosque Perdido guiados por su líder, quien abría el camino a través de la oscuridad. Sin embargo, lo que no se esperaron es que a veces el peligro podía estar más cerca de lo que pensaban. Podía estar en el árbol más cercano, en la flor solitaria que yacía a sus pies, en la brizna de hierba que se veía ligeramente sospechosa.
Quién sabe, incluso quizá (solo quizá) podía estar en la forma de sus propios pasos. En el aire que les rozaba la cara. En la oscuridad de sus propias sombras.
No sabían si estaba justo de pie delante suyo. O vigilándolos mientras dormían. O hablándoles usando palabras que de alguna manera se sentían en la voz incorrecta.
Era difícil de creer que incluso podía estar mirándolos fijamente con la mirada que solía ser azul.

The Absent Blue of Your Gaze by amayis_bigtower

Summary
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time’s Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn’t expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious.
Who knows, it could even maybe —just maybe— be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows.
They don’t know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice.
It’s hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.

Summary
And if that wasn’t as bad enough, then the fact that nobody had cared enough to help Wild was even more troubling.
Nobody had ever tried to help him. Nobody had ever defended him, or pulled Wild to the side and asked how he was really feeling.
No. None of that. Wild knew that the others didn’t care about him, they never did. Instead, they just laughed at him. They laughed at how he was unable to fend off for himself, and never fought back, never said anything; Maybe they were right, maybe he was pathetic.
OR
Wild doesn't really like how the others are treating him.
