Rewrite up! · 4:22am Apr 2nd, 2014
Yep! Finally rewrote that "Princess and Her Queen"! It's now nicer and more user-friendly, and yes, it's a ship-fic between Princess Luna and Chrysalis, but you guys know me, you know that's not all it is!
The truth is, I'm kinda tired of stories that just plop a villain and a hero together without ever going into what could make that relationship blossom, so here we are. Hope I can do this right, put a lot of effort into this mofo. So enjoy, all you wonderful people!
Also, hoping to have another chapter of "TCB: Setting Things Right" up within the next few weeks. It'll be shorter than the others, but I think y'all will like where this goes.
Well, you know what they say about cloppy ships:
"Ship it, ship it all the way!"
For the purposes of pure clop, an elaborate backstory is unnecessary. For the purposes of a story with some shipping in it, I can see your point on that.
1976019 That's exactly what I'm talking about, tho! A pure ship fic! Either the story is set AFTER the relationship has already blossomed, or the actual courtship takes all of five minutes! I mean, come on!

As I have learned from Kishimoto's Naruto series, there is no technique, no spell more powerful than plot-no-jutsu.
Sometimes, shit just happens for the sake of the plot. That might kind of sour the story a bit, but that might be the way it is.
I could spend an entire story going over how Luna and Sombra could fall in love with each other. Or I could spend an entire story describing the struggle that their relationship went through while briefly mentioning how it all got started.
The former obviously is a very Romance oriented fic that would test my knowledge of what love really is, while the latter could still have romance, but also focus more on adventure and stuff.
There is a reason "love at first sight" is still a thing. It is not because it actually happens very often in real life.
If you are looking for a story completely and utterly about how two parties come to love each other, I have a feeling that you are writing one with "A Princes and her Queen". The world gave you lemons (excuse the pun) and you decided to make lemon flavored iced tea.
The closest thing I have come to that in my own fanfiction writing
... Is actually one of my pony stories now that I think really hard about it. Even still, a large chunk of the courting is reduced to just a few story-relevant details, with not an excessive amount of time spent on the time the two just spent together.
1976102 BUT there are way too many stories that do that! Nobody seems to want to explore what could possibly happen for such an improbable romance to actually occur!

Well, you could dump Luna into Sombra's kingdom and have their meeting be a convenient way for Discord to screw around.
And their friendship a convenient wrench in the great one's plans for the future Equestria. And their relationship to make "In the Dark of the Night" more cloppy than choppy.
Or, you could just say they have a common theme with being banished to cold, lifeless places.
Or, you could always go for the whole, "If I gotta screw somepony, might as well be plot device you".
I feelz ya though, I've come to re-evaluate my idea of a romance story.
1976137 My work here is done.
Hm. Sounds tasty... I check it out later, when I'll get some time...
