Raindrops isn't the most popular pegasus. Most ponies don't like getting caught in the rain, no matter how much she loves creating it.

However, there is one mare who does. After all, what rose can bloom without a little rain?

During a particularly strong storm, Raindrops meets the mare she's been waiting for.

She deserves even more. Roseluck is awesome!

This was so sweet I didn't even bother to wonder if either of them liked piña coladas. :heart:

Always a joy to pre read for you, Bad.

Loved this immensely.

(ps i have a few authors i follow for specific things, like chengar for comedy, or V-pony for adventure, and it's official, you're my author for adorable ships (cerulean is for just mass producing ships with many problems (as in, problems in their relation ship, not the ship itself)

plus: enter this in for the cloudless month entry if you haven't already

Meh. Raindrops didn't appeal to me very well and the basis for the romance is... silly, to say the least.

3243927

Thanks! :pinkiehappy: I'm sure they do. :heart:

3243947

Always a joy to have you pre-read. I'm glad you liked it! :twilightsmile:

3244115

Hehe, thanks! It was the only one I could find of the pair, but a good one. Hopefully the story is good as well. :moustache:

Do you mean Raindrops doesn't appeal to you very well?

Well, it was meant to be sort of a short, sweet, fluffy story. I guess if you look at from the perspective of doing a job everyone hates you for, then meeting someone who loves the job you do, that might make more of an impact. One of my friends has an issue finding girlfriends because he wants to be a cop and most girls he meets (even the nice ones) have a pretty negative attitude about it. Anyhoo, sorry you didn't like it. :derpytongue2:

3244189

Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

3244312

Do you mean Raindrops doesn't appeal to you very well?

Damnit.
I'm kind of mentally incapacitated after reviewing 3 bad ones.
But don't get me wrong, I liked it. Just not as much as I hoped.

3244323

Ahh, gotcha. I understand. Again, sorry to disappoint! Hopefully you'll enjoy my next story better. :twilightsmile:

3244115

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And that you like my ships! :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy:

Can you link me to that contest, please? :3

I admit this did feel like "too much, too fast" a bit. But I suppose that is hard to avoid when you want to get so far in such a short one shot.

bad seed makes good story

I'm only familiar with Raindrops in a Lunverse context, which was what I was expecting. That said I still loved this story. Is it wrong a laughed a little at her embarrassment?

3246300

Very true. Thanks for the constructive feedback. :twilightsmile:

3246868

thanks para :heart:

3247324

Hmm... never read the Lunaverse stories, so I'm not sure what you're referencing. And no, it's not bad. :rainbowlaugh: It was meant to be kinda funny. :pinkiehappy:

D'awww...how cutsey.:twilightsmile:

Lessee here:
RainyMood, of course.

And this first song here:

3248931

Glad you enjoyed it. Was going for cutesy. :twilightsmile:

RainyMood goes well for obvious reasons... and so does the song. :pinkiehappy:

That was amazing, hilarious, and cute. 15 minutes well spent. :pinkiehappy:

3250987

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :twilightsmile:

To indulge in a meme, that escalated quickly. I liked the way you introduced Raindrops and her feelings about her storms, but then she's suddenly popping a wingie and kissing Roseluck and agreeing to go out for dinner and the end. Too much, too fast. The premise is adorable, but it feels really rushed.

3252358

I understand. Thanks for the constructive criticism! :twilightsmile:

WOW, I finally get around to reading this.... what the hell is wrong with me :flutterrage:

This story is perhaps my favorite of the ones I read tonight. I do have to wonder though. Could this Thunderlane be related to the one in Big Horseshoes. Even if you never intended it to be a sequel, or anything fully related, sometimes things sneak by. Little connections... so did Big Horseshoes Thunderlane get written into this or maybe I am completely over analyzing things again. :rainbowwild:

I like this story and again, I wish you added more to the story.... Just when I was engaged and liking this plotline.... it ended :raritydespair: Why are all your one-shots doing this to me? :raritydespair:

3359457

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiehappy:

This is a different Thunderlane. "Big Horseshoes" Thunderlane works with snow and ice, while this Thunderlane works with... thunder. :rainbowlaugh:

Sorry! :raritycry: One-shots have a tendency of doing that. :pinkiesmile:

Very cute and sweet. Bravo:pinkiehappy:

3364925

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiehappy:

Learning?! :pinkiegasp:

We don't tolerate that sorta bizness 'round here... :twilightangry2:

:rainbowlaugh: Thanks for the new word. :rainbowkiss:

Raindrops was upset that nobody appreciated her special talent? Pff. She should be thanking her lucky stars she doesn't have a tax auditing or telemarketing cutie mark.

4396597

Exactly! Then she'd be forever alone. :ajsleepy:

Fluffy, silly and cheesy - but so darn cute I gotta upvote anyway.

4447632

Haha, thanks! Yeah, this could be definitely improved, but since it was written for a contest, I decided to leave it as it is. :twilightsmile:

Raindrops On Roses

And whiskers on kittens~
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens~
Brown paper packages tied up with strings~
These are a few of my favorite things~

4533806 I love that movie! Although I've only seen it once...

I was going to ask you if this contest piece was inspired in part by Regidar's He Gave Her A Rose (That anecdote of yours in the sequel was interesting, by the way.), but the fact that the both of you published a short story with a homosexual Roseluck on the same date is nothing short of a surprising coincidence.

Just thought I'll put this out here.

7163653

It wasn't, actually, but there's a bit of a coincidence between the two stories outside of that.

Mostly, I just like Roseluck. :rainbowwild:

nice story I am currently working on a dramatic reading if you don't mind .
