Yes! Another straight Twilight shipping!

Wow. This is rare. A hetero ship. Seriously, I'm pretty sure you can count the number of these on one hand.
ReplyDeleteLol, Seth you got the title wrong!
ReplyDeleteThis is very good. It seems like there are a lot of things hinted at, so I'd love to see it continue.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this! It's so funny that hetero shipping is so rare that we get worked up when it happens, but, oh well, such is this fandom. And awkward Twilight is always adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable. ^_^ I certainly wouldn't mind a follow-up.

NOT ANYMORE
We need more Twilight shipping, hetero or no it doesn't matter!
ReplyDeleteNeeds a "Warning: m/f" tag.
ReplyDeleteAwww this is precious. And rare, as a straight ship. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI really don't want to be that guy here, but this was poorly executed. not trying to be mean, not trying to be cruel, but I literally had to read the last 2 parts 3 times just to figure out what exactly was going on. The narrative was hard to follow and non descriptive, and the whole thing felt like the characters were more puppets than ponies.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be mean I really don't, but I honestly can't say this fic is even completed.
I would be glad to help you out to at least see what can be done if you'd like. I also commented on the DA as "exiana" so if you would like it, just send me a PM.
This is a very cute fic. The only problem I had with it was this:
ReplyDelete"You know Princess Luna? Personally?"
"...Can I count on you to keep it a secret? Having the ears of the rulers can make a pony's social life complicated."
So... Celestia's been keeping that My Precious Student thing on the down-low or something? Everyone seems to be perfectly aware that Twi has a personal connection to the sun goddess; I don't think knowing Luna would really add anything extra to that.
Eh, maybe it's just fridge logic, but that exchange hit me strangely.
Duplex Fields here. Thanks for the feedback. This was posted live in-thread one evening when I asked for a suggestion on what to write. It's more of a vignette than a full story. I'll see if it turns into anything beyond this.
ReplyDeleteThe big innovation was having Caramel as a smith's assistant rather than a farmer; I figured a year-round farmer wouldn't lose seeds that often.
Caramel and Twilight shipping?
ReplyDeleteYou sir, have my support.
Also, I didn't have any trouble following what was happening in parts 2 and 3, but I can see where some people might.
All around, a very nice short fic.
