I'm an irritating fangirl who also writes. A lot of my stuff is sad. I am sometimes overly sex-positive, so if you are sex-negative, I might have called you an elitist taint jockey. Sorry about that.

Wait... could this be... the fic that you let me preread ages ago?

*Reads description!*

Old school noir mystery in a pony style.

And well written to boot.

Strong start and this gets ALL my yes.

Yus, yus it is. (Well, it's the first chapter.)

I was wondering what I was missing in my life.

Noir fics. That's what I was missing.

Why is there an apple bloom tag. I'm worried.

3571718

I'm sure she's just going to be helping AJ on the farm. :scootangel:

3571760
Don't mess around with me, does anything sexual or gory happen to her.

3571805

If something sexual was going to happen to her, I wouldn't have put it in the group. (I put it in the group because Twilight's kind of a ladies' mare.)

Something violent? It's a noir. Anyone can die.

I wanna know before I get into this: will Spike get some booty?

3571805

And for the record, I wasn't "messing around", I assumed you were joking. Obviously I'm not going to try to jam foalcon into your group, after the discussion that was had.

I'm trying to respect your wishes, and you. Try to respect mine, and me.

3571823

Nope. (At least not in this installment. It'll be made clear later that the CMC and Spike are just at legal age, but Noir II and Noir III will take place further along. I doubt seriously that there's even going to be any explicit sex; the convention of Noir is the fade-to-black after the kiss.)

3571842

What's with the Mature and the Sex tag then? :duck:

3572784

Because I frequently cannot be arsed to think, "Does this count as Teen? Or is it too much? Someone gets shot over there, but I want to talk about the blood! Is that going to make it Mature? What about the kissing? What if I want groping? What if I want to make allusions about having pussy breath or something?! Where's the laughing coming from?! Where are the demons?!!"

Then I just give the fuck up and label it "Mature" with Sex and Gore checked.

Well, this certainly looks promising. Haven't come across a pony noir fic this well-written and interesting since Starlight Over Detrot. You've certainly got my upvote and fave; looking forward to how this story plays out. :pinkiesmile:

'Traditional' was a polite way of saying that her mother thought what a lot of mares thought -- that the males were too hormone-driven for things like 'business', or 'magic', or 'math'. Personally, I'd been doublecrossed by one too many stallions to think they weren't capable of it, but I'd never seen that many stallion accountants, either.

I like this setting. And how the Mane6, or four of them so far, changed due the princesses being dead since a thousand years which means Unicorns still need to raise sun and moon, weatherponies are busy enforcing law besides weather and earth ponies like AJ are "filthy rich". XD

Now here's to hope that Twi's "charm" as a "Ladies mare" will get her not only PInkie, but a couple more cute women, like Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, maybe even Applejack when she wants to show Twi her "private thanks" for saving her big bro. That and a couple other mares on the side, just for fun~ <3

A very promising start, I'll keep an eye on it. :pinkiesmile:

3575189 Umm, in most Noir stories isn't the main character screwed over by everyone?

3575876

Screwed and screwed over, in a lot of cases. :twilightsheepish:

3575189

I'm glad it's proving intriguing. The second chapter's coming along at my usual glacial pace, but hopefully it won't disappoint when it finally comes out! :twilightsmile:

3576327 Oh I know, If pinkie doesn't try to murder her by stories end I'll be surprised. Infact my only bets on loyalty will be Spike, and possibly AJ.

the story is great looking forward to another chapter :pinkiehappy:

3596937

I'm glad you liked it. (I worried about Twilight's tone in this, well, constantly.)

I felt like she'd be more canny than academic in this universe, at least outwardly, but she's no less intelligent. It's just not going to show as much until she starts analyzing actual clues, which will start in chapter two.

Chapter one was all about getting the world set and most of the major players laid out. :twilightsmile:

I'm liking it so far, the universe, the dialogue that dark feeling of Noir-ness that many noir fics just fail to achieve. You have surmounted many of my expectations, and I expect you to keep doing so.

The only thing that bothered me was how OOC Twilight was. Although that can be given a pass because in a world where everything is not sunshine and rainbows, some real character development may occur. Especially when Twilight herself doesn't have Celestia to guide her on the path of said sunshine and rainbows.

3599363

My thinking was that she didn't have the luxury of pure academic pursuits, so she actually has a better grasp of how ponies behave than the Twilight in the show. (Also, although it's not really gotten into much, she's older.)

I'm glad it's enjoyable despite the seemingly OOC stuff. The character differences were a big part of why I set it AU, honestly. It had to be a twisted world that made Twilight Sparkle a jaded detective. :twilightsheepish:

Into my favorites you go! :twilightsmile:

Excellent start. I look forward to more.

*Uses Alan Rickman voice* Don't disappoint me.

3653957

I've actually got a fair bit of this planned out, and the second chapter's around 3/4 done. :twilightsmile: Glad you liked it!

Interesting. Like it, looking forward to more

3729964

Glad you liked it! :pinkiehappy: More is coming, just slower than I'd like.

Finally got around to reading this, and I gotta say, I think this is my new favorite story type. Well done!

3798175

Noir? Well, it's been done a lot better than I've done it here, but I'm happy to introduce you to the concept. :twilightsmile:

I really like this :O Into muh faves it goes

4510276

Thanks, Pear. I really need to get ch2 of this fixed. I've got it about 2/3 done but it definitely needs retooling.

*Cries in finding a damn good Noir story.... only to see it dead in the water and would've loved to see the rest of it unfold as you really do give a good vibe for the darkness and the eerieness of the genre.*
