Hehehe, it's finally here! Love it!
And great first chapter, Miles! Can't wait for more!
And I'd give you an upvote, as well as a Follow in this, but for some weird reason, the site won't let me be the first to place an upvote for it. (Or for any story around here.*grumbles irritably*)
I'll give you one once someone else gives you an upvote for it.
Promise.
I approve!
I love it so far
So is this the story from Luna's POV?
6485961 Some parts, but no, not entirely. This will have multiple POVs
Whew! just read everything in this series (well the milesprower fics) from the original Mistress Do Well to here in one night, it's been a wild ride! my only complaint is I found this early enough that now I have to wait for updates!
6486676 Thanks for reading!
I really had suspected something like this. Neat
I uhh... I read this chapter and really liked it. I figured I'd read the first book in the series...
What the buck have I gotten myself into?
Really good, though.
Oh, sweet Celestia, what have I gotten myself into?
6567189 Glad you're enjoying it
6567220 I never thought I would enjoy something like this. Maybe it's because everything blew up?
"Light coercing"? Putting a freaking unbreakable geas on someone is light coercing?!
6620064 Not sure how far you've read, but Luna revealed that the geas ended even before they left the hospital.
It's finally up! How long must I wait for the next chapter? Please say it's not too, too long!
6621838 Working on it when I can, thanks for the enthusiasm!
Oh, Fluttershy...and now the self-hatred increases.
Don't know why but thinking of Rainbow Dash hiding in that enchanted cloak and travelling I'm already picturing a scene where as she travels she stumbles upon the Flim Flam Brothers and their machine clings onto her cloak, taking it off. And thus antics ensured as people queuing up there might reconize her.
6630769 "By Celestia, the Flimflam Brother's Amazing Machine™ brought back Rainbow Dash! It really CAN do anything!"
I can't stand this Luna. I'm probably gonna get some flak for that, but there it is. Both in this story and in Suicide Solutions. I can understand her not wanting ponies to commit suicide, but I hate the way she goes about it.
6631575 No flak from me. One of the things I've enjoyed from reading Suicide Solutions was also reading the debates about Luna in the comments.
Amazing chapter. shame they are so short but I still can't wait for the next one.
6633415 Thanks for the feedback. I'm really trying to get better at fluff, but as long as the meat is good, I'm usually satisfied.
Forgive me, it's been a... long time. How was Twilight's confession not enough?
I don't see them holding a stiff upper lip about what they did. When a criminal confesses to a crime, unless there is evidence to the contrary, that's an open and shut case.
6637536 Because Luna was quite convinced that Rainbow didn't want them convicted. The lack of evidence wasn't what stayed their judicial wrath; it was their belief that Rainbow took the tape for a reason.
6637568
IDK, that's always bugged me about the story. They arbitrarily put this one year time limit on themselves, Celestia's looking for a way to charge them (evidenced by looking for the evidence Rainbow has) but they don't need it because they have their confessions. They're not following the law because Luna doesn't want them to, thus the princesses are breaking the law that they're putting limitations on themselves to uphold.
Logically... this is where the story falls flat. The conflict of them going to jail has too many plot holes to make sense, as by the rule of law, and any rational viewpoint, they're in jail. The whole 'one year to prosecute based on evidence that a mare that might be dead might have kept' doesn't make sense.
It would've been simpler to just flat out say their fate is in Rainbow's hooves. If she comes back and decides not to prosecute in a year, you'll all avoid jail, otherwise, you're going to jail. The fight over the 'evidence' is simply far to forced and contrived.
6637606 It depends on how you look at it.
Rainbow left voluntarily. Equestrian law dictates one year to convict. If Rainbow wanted them behind bars, she would have shown up with it, mailed it in, etc.
They decided to believe that Rainbow was giving one last gesture of loyalty and friendship while on the run.
But I love the feedback. Believe me. Even criticisms like this. Thank you very much.
6637660
Ehh, stockholm syndrome is a really bad reason not to prosecute a group of rapists no? Especially when their victim might not still be alive.
That's part of where the issue is, they're trying to balance the letter of the law 'we only have a year' with the emotional feelings they have 'Maybe Rainbow doesn't want to.'
I'm all for the princesses having final say, they are the monarchs after all. But the hypocrisy here of holding yourself to laws you're not following is simply to big to look past. All or nothing. Follow the letter of the law, or admit that you're not. One hoof in with three out is simply wrong.
6637683 With Luna's confirmation of frequent, unending nightmares, Celestia believes putting them behind bars would do nothing, except get them three hot meals and a bed. Their lives and friendships are decimated.
6637693
I assume you mean the mane 4's nightmares? The fact that criminals feel remorse for their crimes is not reason to ignore they happened. If you're talking about Rainbow's nightmares, then that's just fucked up.
What they've done is all but flat out say, "It doesn't matter if you rape others, as long as you feel bad about it you won't face justice."
They have the testimony, all the evidence they need.
They flat out admit they're not following the law for personal reasons, yet still see the 'direct' evidence as important.
Again:
They either need to stop pretending the tape is important (as it's not, they don't need it to prosecute. Confessions work great.) Or they need to stop pretending they're following the law (They're not), in which case the one year thing doesn't matter.
And i have to ask, if Rainbow killed herself in this time she was missing, how would they have known? Would they still have let them off?
6637712 They wouldn't, and that's what is driving the four of them, and the Princesses, mad with worry.
Did you mean to make this one paragraph of 16 sentences with random capitalizing of illusion?
Sorry, not trying to just criticize. It's just... nothing's happening in the story. Part of the issue with gap-filling stories is that by their nature they don't cover anything that we don't already know the resolution to.
The 'how' is largely only interesting if we learn something new that adds to the story. We already knew that Rainbow tried to take her life and struggled alone for a year. In a story like this I'd personally like to see the perspective of other characters that we don't really know that well. How's the CMC dealing with this? What's Scootaloo going through? How about Spike? The sisters talking about how they're knowingly letting them off under the assumption that Rainbow's still alive and doesn't want to prosecute. The detectives fighting against that, saying they have all the evidence they need and that this is setting a very dangerous president for the rest of Equestria, especially as this is a HIGH PROFILE case.
Sorry, i feel like I'm just bitching and moaning. It's your story.
6640149 I'm planning on having the next chapter cover a lot of other perspectives. You won't hear from Rainbow again until the fall.
So if other perspectives are your thing, next one is the treat.
And there will also be events after Reparation.
Now this... this was a good chapter.
The Twilight part was great. (I choose to believe that she subconsciously knew what was going to happen when she started and wanted to punish herself like that.)
I liked seeing Discord comforting 'Shy and his interaction with Luna. That was good.
Luna's actions... ehh, we've talked about that before. She blew up at Discord saying they deserve it despite the fact that she's purposefully letting them escape justice for their actions.
Still, good chapter overall.
6642562 Thanks. Can't believe I wrote it in one night.
Well, it seems like Rainbow Dash can fly again.
nice chapter, but found a typo for you. :-)
I'm reading, but not much to say. I enjoy the story for the Twilight and Rainbow relationship, but I skim through the clop as it doesn't hold my attention. Wish Rarity stayed dead honestly.
6718313 And I respect that attention. Looking forward to seeing what you folks think of the ending.
I wouldn't mind seeing a "History" chapter of the months, like major events in it, the ups and downs, etc.....
6788257 I'll see what I can do.
Is the series done? Or do you have something else, even if it's only a "maybe"?
6811748 The only thing I'm maybe thinking about is an epilogue, but that's it. This story was one of my favorite things to write, but it got so little feedback, so I think I'm done.
6811776 That's too bad, but at the same time, all great stories must come to an end. It was a very emotional ride, and I thank you for the experience.
6815266 Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it.
Love to see a sequel that wraps things up. True, they all bucked up, but they all want things to get better too. They just need to learn to forgive, but not forget. For those who seek atonement, they should expect two things, either by their own devices or those of others, punishment and forgiveness. Even Rarity, who did the worst of it, has tried to right her wrongs.
What I am saying is that they could use some more happy closure, not more depressing drama.
6860605 Thanks for reading, and for the feedback!
6811776 Don't you dare to end like this, there has to be fluttershy's regression chapter at least. That's one of my favorite series.
7297142 Sorry, but I have no current plans to continue this at the moment. I poured my heart and soul into this story, and it got so little feedback compared to the original.
7297147 Just don't give up that idea just yet and keep writing everything you want. All our dreams will come to real eventually. And still you got appreciation of many.
