Soarin seems to be unable to find a marefriend. Hopefully Spitfire, his lifelong and closest friend, is here to help him. May he likes it or not.

Looks like four awesome proofreaders ain't enough to correct me. Thanks for pointing those out!

No one's perfect. I'm sure I missed something too.
9138064
They're
the worst and they smell badfine gentlemen.I acc really liked this, it was sweet
Sounds like Spitfire needs a Spitroast from Soarin... ...no seriously. The romantic tension between them even though such terrible friendzoning is ouch.
9138154
Thanks, glad you liked it!
9138155
You're jumping quite a few steps there. But yeah, the romance tag is not there for the Soarindash ship.
9138131
I agree. One of them is the worst, and at least two are smelly.
9138207
Heehee. I could see it coming a mile away. And I love it. Tracking and looking forward to more!
*sniff* *sniff* I smell soarinfire! Time to dig in.
*finishes reading* mmmmmmmmm. Friendzoned.
I want a sequel
, cuz soarinfire is da best!
We definitely need a sequel,
And Spitfire needs to understand that Soarin likes her..
-and wants to make foals with her-

There aren't plans for a sequel right now, but why not? I love this pairing. The only thing is that I have another story I'm working on. It's quite long, and I want to finish it first. So if I do a sequel, it will probably not be written this year.
If you like this ship you probably already know about this blog, but my main source of inspiration for this was Askfirestarterspitfire. The Soarinfire ship doesn't really start before the act 7 but it's definitely a good read.
While this was enjoyable and a good setup for another chapter I feel like as a standalone it didn't go anywhere.

Guess I'll have to seriously start thinking about a sequel then.
9139358
Yup already read the whole blog,
And I agree I love the pairing so much.
Eh it doesn’t really matters when you do,
I’d love to see a sequel.

That blog's pretty wonderful indeed, considering that it's one of the first mlp blogs it sure is also one of the most long-lasting. However I don't think captainhoers planned soarinfire in the beginning. He got asked a lot whether or not these two are romantically engaged since people see them together all the time despite them being half siblings, so he rolled with the idea and shipped them. That spit kissing soar update is entirely fanservice
And btw, as nice as firestarterspitfire is, its Belief that got me into this ship. That fic's one of the first soarinfire fics on ff and is very beautifully written.

BTW can I ask you what was your goal with your fic? Bcause I really can't see it. Even with the worst fics I usually see what the author was aiming for. (And they miss by a country mile but that's irrelevant) Now I already told you it was really far from bad and locates solidly in the 6/10 region but I'm completely lost as to why you would write this story.
It's not a Soarindash fic because it isn't.
It could be a Soarinfire fic but then they forgot to tell Spitfire about this.
It could be a fic about platonic love or friendzone or something of that sort but you didn't go really into that aspect. You stated that Soarin loves Spitfire and Spitfire doesn't love him back but then you didn't do anything with this fact.

Fair question. I wanted to take a break from my main project and take some things out of my chest. (see that clumsy and rushed scene where Soarin express his fear of being alone?)
As to why I chose these ponies, well first as I already said the askfirestarterspitfire blog is a heavy inspiration, I love it and I love what Captainhoers produce. Second, I already had the first scene done. I was going through my folder of drafts and unfinished texts and found that first scene that I wrote four years ago. It was initially written in my native language, and was clearly supposed to be an actual soarindash shipfic. So I had to translate and re-write it to better fit what I had in mind.
However, I had to re-read my own story, but I don't see where I actually stated that Soarin loves Spitfire. I mean, there is a not-so-subtle subtext and a "romantic tension" as PrinceOfDoom said but at no point Soarin flat out said "I love you" to Spitfire. What made you think that? (I'm legit curious.)
I'm not going to lie, I was interested in this fic, and actually read part of it...
Then I got curious and looked at the comments and saw that it was mostly one sided and subtexty SoarinFire and not SoarinDash, and I had to stop.
I know it's probably REALLY petty, but I ship SoarinDash so hard that I just can't enjoy fics about either of them being in a relationship with other ponies (with one or two rare exceptions).
So good luck to you and those who don't have that hang up, and good luck with any future sequels you decide to write.

"Stated" might have been a the wrong word I was just referring to the aforementioned romantic tension. I guess I used the the word state in a more metaphysical manner, as in you "stated" it with the overall message of the story.
(You are not the only non-native speaker in this conversation.)
9140891
That's ok, I guess I can quote Rainbow/myself here and say
Imagine a fandom where everyone had the same ships, that would be pretty dull imo.
9141280
Oh, that makes more sense. Well they've been friends for a really long time, and the line between "friends" and "lovers" tend to be blurry at this point. Maybe they got to be more "physical", maybe not, that's for each one to make their own opinion. But the question to whether or not they should be more than friends has definitely crossed both their mind more than once. Eh, maybe that could be why Spitfire is so eager to find a marefriend for Soarin? To stop thinking about Soarin like that?
9141469
Actually there's already a fic that's based on your scenario: Spitfire rid Soarin' of his manipulative marefriend and unintentionally made a move on him
as his best friend.9158388
I've read belief and it was a nice (if old) one, so I will definitely read this other suggestion of yours. Not soon tho, I have so much to reach recently.

I recently started digging out my old fic folder and re-reading everything. Your fic is in it. I still quite like it. There are enough hints to make the soarinfire dynamic stands out but at the same time It's ambiguous enough what tricks spitfire's playing. It's almost like they both know the answer and both try to deny the obvious. Spitfire tries to land him a GF and his answer to all her questions points to a single solution that is Spitfire, but without spelling it out loud.
It's almost like they're already a couple, just without the title. They've known each other long before they become wonderbolts; they hang out all the time; they're comfortable around each other. As much as I ship them I think staying as friends isn't a bad idea for them because really, for someone to be as close as they are it's just a formality. Soarin' would subconsciously always look for mares that are like spitfire personality/look wise, and he's always going to come home empty-handed. Spitfire would always deny the obvious and try setting him up with ponies that he doesn't like, so that she can find an excuse to rule him out as a potential partner. It can legit turn into a game.
