Fanfic prompt: Shadow is a demon while four is just a mortal hylian

It is likely that he would outlive four several times over

What if he decided to stay with four even in death and protect his grave from robbers

And considering the mess that is four swords palace and its weird unsettling atmosphere

And the fact that Legend fights several shades and other creatures

It would be a fun twist if shadow was the sole reason why the palace is so creepy

Because he had several centuries to train his abilities to kill off any and all people who dare disturb his lover’s grave

And amass the ungodly amount of corpses in the palace

The centuries of not interacting with the rest of the world and the grieving over the hero of the four sword

Is an easy way to drive yourself crazy

And considering the fact that shadow never was truly sane to begin with

Even in the manga he showed how obsessive and cruel he can be if he wants to

Imagine how much worse it would get if he has actual motivation to take his rage out on grave robbers who want to steal the four sword

He would go mad from grief and probably speak with the sword and create copies of four like the four shades

And when Legend had the “joy” to visit him and fight his way through the palace shadow was watching him from the shadows

Because even in madness he can feel the same soul that once belonged to four

When linked universe happens Legend is hesitant to be around the one who has the face of his worst nightmares

The reaction he would have if he met shadow (who looks like the shadows of the palace)

Would not be pretty

And if the chain has to enter the four swords palace and four has to endure looking at his grave

And then see an insane and grievous version of his lover

Yeah ,four isn’t having a fun time in this

Or the chain

And especially Legend

Shadow is psychologically incapable of differentiating between four and the four sword and could very easily decide that both should stay at the palace

And if four still hasn’t gotten his shadow back yet because they haven’t been to Wild's Hyrule

He would probably just prefer to stay with shadow

And when he gets forced to leave at some point

And then when he gets back his shadow

Knowing that he will one day outlive him and all shadow cares about

Like it’s told multiple times throughout their stories that they’re bad people who do bad stuff.

Alex law deadass manipulated his friend/person he was in love with (Dalex real) to chop up a body and then gave him no support when he started to show symptoms of distress.

The tenth doctor is just a prick to everybody like let’s not forget he left rose for 5 hours in Girl and the Fireplace.

But the similarity between the two of them is that they get away with said actions because of their looks.

Look up shallow grave on TikTok. 9/10 videos are of Alex Law. You go to Ao3 and there are no David Stephens x reader fics but lo and behold there are plenty of Alex law x reader fics. All the comments are about how good he looks (he is incredibly good looking in this film I can’t even lie Ewan call me)

Eg

I don’t even need to get into how the tenth doctor/David Tennant is the mascot to doctor who because every bit of merch is always him.

I made another post about this earlier in the year but it holds true to the both of them. You would despise both of these characters and their actions if it wasn’t for the fact they’re conventionally attractive. Like if the ninth doctor acted the same way 10 did everybody would call the doctor unlikeable and the show wouldn’t take off
