I love to swim, write, and waste my hours away on this site.

Some ponies are masters at the art of love, always seeming to know exactly what to say and do to win the affection of the pony of their dreams.

Lyra is not one of these ponies.

When Lyra finds herself attached to the clockmaker, Doctor Whooves, she can't seem to find the right things to say or do whenever she's around him. Will Lyra be able to win the affection of one of Ponyville's most sought-after bachelors, or will she continue to end up speechless?

Chapter 1 of many. Yeah, this is gonna be long.

Anyways, like the description says, first ship. Yeah. So, I need to know what you guys think. Like it? Love it? Downright hate it? Let me know! If you don't, I won't know what to fix or do better.

I like your writing style and love the non standard shipping. Definitely following this :twilightsmile:

Interesting, You get an upvote!

Excellent as always, swimmin'!!!!!!:pinkiehappy:

I like it, You can't expect more than that this early into the fic, it's only been one chapter so far. I am gonna give you point's on a the extremely rare hetero Lyra. I've only seen a few ships like that and this is the first that wasn't a HIE fic, so kudos in that regard. As for using Doctor Whooves that is another rarity, but if you look on Deviant Art there is a couple of pics. So I'm gonna track this to see where this goes. This is still a well made chapter of a potentially great fic.

On a side note, I never understood where the whole Lyra and Bon Bon thing came from, but here's this comic:

I like it! Haven't seen a fic shipping this pair before, but it seems pretty fun, looking forward to more! Also, I liked the interesting characterization of Bon Bon. :yay:

.....Lyra and Bonbon are the new Amy and Rory Pond. All votes?

that cover art was just too cute now to read this story and i must say i've never heard of this ship before

LYRA'S CHEATING ON-... ehh, to much fanon. It's good to take a risk!

702099 there's none yet. But I promise, there will be lots.

Excellent story. I felt brought into their little part of the world. Although, I have to wonder if its going to be doctor whooves, or just a clock maker. I am looking forward to it.

701443 The whole Lyra/Bon Bon thing comes from the fans mostly; but it does have reasoning. It's because in the show they always appear together and rarely are apart (I think that's it at least).

Anyway, fantastic story. I like this kind of writing style; one extremely detailed and basically gives the whole thought process of the individuals. Faved.

Considering we ship all of the Mane six together, and anybody who seems a little bit close (actually, we'll ship anything if we have the material, crackfics are always fun.) I'm pretty sure the word "friend" in MLP sounds like "lover" to shippers.

I'd suggest you read Triple X, though that's with an OC, but it's good. Though It hasn't updated in a while...

Good job, be seeing this.

Hmm tracking this. I need to see more but it does seem like it could be an interesting read :eeyup:

Finally, a hipster shipping I don't hate!

The writing's good, the idea is very original, and it is overall a promising story.
I shall wait for your next chapter.
Do not disappoint me.:trixieshiftleft:

I don't read many shipfics, but I gotta say, I like that you're using an uncommon ship. It should be interesting to see. As for the Doctor Who references you mentioned, I'm curious to see just what's gonna get in there.

I can see this going somewhere! Lyra and Doctor Whooves, now that's a couple I could see actually happening. Keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:

I can't help but see a lot of myself in Bon Bon for some reason :rainbowlaugh:
I will totally pull of that "I'm watching you" followed by "Good night", any time I'm able.
I like where this is going, and you've got a fav.

I loved the pairing when I first saw a picture of them as a couple. I love this story already. I think I have the picture, but I don't know how to post pictures in comments. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

Finally, a romance story with Lyra that does not involve her being shipped with Bon-Bon. Seriously, I cannot stand that pairing.
This story hath intrigued us. We shall read it.
If the quality of the first chapter is any indication, this is shaping up to be an excellent story. I have always loved to see the background characters be, well, characterized.
Also, which Doctor are you going to be basing Doctor Whooves off of? Ten? Eleven? Or a combination of both? Either way, I will enjoy this.

This is a pretty nice start. I really like the Bon Bon you've established here, and Lyra is pretty good, as well. They both have solid, recognizable characterizations despite being remarkably more mundane than their usual interpretations. Honestly, it makes me a little worried about The Doctor being introduced in presumably full glory, but I suppose I'll just have to wait and see how you handle things.

Interesting...:moustache:I have never seen this pair before... Well either way a good first chapter, can't wait for the rest!

As i said what i thought could be better
1: You should of gone into more detail about lyra's stress
2: You should of had lyra give a example of how Bon Bon finds stuff out
3: Go into more detail of why lyra likes the chestnut colored earth pony
There you go bud 3 ways you can make this story better. Just to let you know i love the story so far:pinkiehappy:

Why the cancel? :c </3
