"Angry at you?" Twilight asked, his head tilted inquisitively.  "Why would we be angry at you?"

The Hero from the sky looked down at his reflection in the small pond before him.  He never failed to notice how similar his and Twilight's visages were, especially when they were together like this, alone and away from their other incarnations.  He shut his eyes and hung his head.

"Because," he began, his voice weary, "I was the one who started all of this."

"Are you talking about that curse?"

Sky nodded.  "I was selfish back then.  I know I did what I had to do, but I never thought about what it would be like for the rest of you.  The Heroes after me - the ones who share a piece of me - they all had to suffer because of what I did.  Zelda's family, too."  He drew his knees up, an unsightly action for the Hero who challenged the god of all evil and won.  "You never asked to be a Hero, but I decided that for you regardless.  …I'm so sorry."

"Sky, you're…" he touched his predecessor's shoulder.  "You can't blame yourself!  I didn't mind going through everything I did at all.  None of us did!"

"I made a mistake!" Sky cried out shamefully, "I made a mistake, and because of that, you - everyone — "

He gasped a little when he felt Twilight's firm, rough hands take his face and turn it towards him.  The younger Hero looked sternly at him, his eyes just as ferocious and beast-like as he had heard.

"You said it yourself," he said, "you did what you had to do.  Nobody blames you for anything."

Sky turned pink and glanced downwards.

"In fact," Twilight's face softened a little, "I think the rest of us have a lot to thank you for.  If you hadn't done what you did, we wouldn't have known what we could do.  Without you, without Time… I wouldn't have seen Hyrule like I did.  I wouldn't have met Midna, or the Princess, or my friends in the Resistance.  I would have lived my whole life in Ordon without ever knowing how amazing our world was."

"Twilight…" The elder Hero was stunned.  There was no malice in the other's face - no bitterness, no regret, not even after all he had suffered through.  He was grateful for it all, even.  He closed his eyes, smiled sadly, and placed his hands over Twilight's.  "…If you don't regret anything, then - I don't want to, either."

Twilight smiled gently and touched his forehead to his predecessor's.  "Then don't."  He then leaned in, planting a small kiss on the face of the man to whom he owed so much of his life.
This isn't an entry in the Hyrulian Valhalla Saga proper, but it does take place in the same universe. I've been getting word that people are starting to ship the Links in that series, so I, eheh... went with it.

HOWEVER, it's important to note that these shippy stories are not canon, because I do not plan to establish any romantic relationships (Linkcest or otherwise) in the series proper. These are just me shoving my dolls together going "Now KISS!" and have no bearing on the main series whatsoever.

I actually wrote this a long time ago on request from a friend, but since I just now started posting these dumb side stories I'll just go ahead and leave this here.............
