    A fun little story, Invictus.  As always, your work is excellent.  Good luck on all the writing this story may cause you on that project however.  :twilightsmile:

    You know, I constantly try to imagine how to use Flim and Flam without it becoming a complete farce. While this story is indeed hilarious while reading in their voices, it's also quite moving. Bravo good sir :moustache:

    I think we have a winner here folks. I love how you portray FLim and Flam, and its very easy to hear their voices in this.

    this was brilliant. i loved it, i really did. short and sweet yes, but it had an evident plot and quality way of getting their. equally, i enjoyed your interpretation of the flim flam brothers. not completely bad, but even their good deeds had the hints of egotism and superiority. quality characterization, believable idea, and all around great story. good job.:twilightsmile:

    Sent here by Dawnscroll and I am glad he did, this is an excellent short. Definitely gets a spot on my user page wall of recommended oneshots.

    Nonpareil, huh? I had always wondered what it was they were saying.

    Dawnscroll made me do it!

    And I don't regret it.  This was a great story.  I love when I can find the occasional fic that make Flim and Flam out to be good, instead of the usual greedy scumbags.

    *chuckle* Flim and Flam are two charming guys, and it's fun to see them as good guys for a change. Nice little story.:eeyup:

    Wow. Nice fic you have here. It was not only touching, but moderately funny (Mostly because of the Flim Flam stuff. I can just imagine them saying that all, with the mock surprise and everything.), and very well written. And... it made me like Flim and Flam. Now there's a change. x] This is a surprisingly good story. Nice job. :)

    I liked it. I was half-expecting the Flim-Flam brothers to be trying to screw Pip over or something like that but you turned that on its ear. Then again, this sort of made me realize they were only dickheads and not total monsters in their epic episode. Nice story! It makes me want the duo to come back for season three in some manner.

    Had to comment again: fifteen minutes after reading this fic and it still has me in a good mood!

    Well despite featuring some of the ponies I don't really like. That was a nice little story. :twilightsmile:

    Also. Damn you Invictus for writing Flim and Flam well enough that I read their lines in their voices. :twilightangry2:

    I love seeing Flim and Flam portrayed as actual, sympathetic characters. It's a rare sight to see, and this certainly doesn't dissapoint.

    Just commenting to say I liked this. Like everyone else, I enjoyed Flim and Flam in this, but I like them anyway. Between this and the Psych crossover, you've earned yourself another follower.

    Okay, now that was unexpected. This was definitely worth the featuring. It's poignant, skilfully written, and I have a soft spot for good guys!FlimFlam. Good job, author.

    That... was very interesting. Completely amazing, and I loved it, but still interesting. Never thought those two groups would get together and work out well :rainbowwild:

    First story in the first edition of the reviews did not disappoint. Excellent characterization and a wonderful short about self discovery. Thank you for your contribution Invictus.

    I'm ashamed that it took the reviews for me to find a story like this. I've always prized myself on my ability to find stuff. Oh well, this was amazing though. I can't wait to read more stories by you.

    Brilliant! Definitely deserved to be spotlighted in the reviews.

    And Pipsqueak doesn't get enough fics about him, he's too adorable for words.

    Flim and Flam have a lot of awesomeness to them as well (despite that cider incident).

    There, I fixed the syntax! Thank you, Mudpony, for pointing that out.

    Anyway, thank all of you commenters for your more-than-kind words. I'm absolutely thrilled that you've enjoyed this story and can only hope that you find my future endeavors as entertaining.

    You're the best (around)!
