Bee!
Feel a little bad for pretty much exclusively thinking of her as 'Bee' now that I know she hated it.
That is one toxic freaking crew, my word...
Very nice.
Yeaps, this is still amazing.
Very nice
"GREETINGS, SMALL PONY! WE ARE SHADOW BLOSSOM AND DEFINITELY NOT PRINCESS LUNA!"
In all seriousness, another excellent installment in Bee's eventful life. (Protip: If the mare who built the airship says you're doing it wrong, at least discuss the matter with her, no matter how terrible her social skills are. Physics doesn't care who owns the airship on paper.) Thank you for a great read.

If it helps, I actually retconned this in our game. She was always called Bee from inception, but when the original idea for Silver Linings was conceptualized, I realized making it a nickname that Shadow used would bond them together better. She would come to accept it later on.
It's why she's never called Bee in the first two stories! (Also, in my editing, I had to constantly replace where I had written "Bee" instead of "Blue")

Assuming Lunar and Bee ever manage to reconnect... oh yes, that will be an awkward moment. Probably MANY awkward moments.

I will confirm she's not Luna! Then again, she does have a thing for the Moon...
Thank you so much! And you are right. Everypony should listen to smol annoying and irritable engineers when they're telling you how the SHIP THEY BUILT WORKS!
I love Bee and every story you write about her.

D'awww! Thank you! Bee said she likes you too. (She's Bee. She would never say 'love you too 'because she's too busy being Bee.)
So I read this one first, then the other two, somehow. Don't judge me, my firefox tabs got shuffled!!
Yeowch. I think knowing a gut-punch was coming from reading this one made it even worse when I found out the gut-punch is all a big mistake...
Helluva lil 'verse you're starting here, Novel. I look forward to seeing more!

Yup. One massive mistake... though one that neither could stop. It was... inevitable.
I'm both happy and sorry for Bee now. Why are you confusing my feelings?
But seriously, nice story.

You've read enough stories of mine to know the answer.
...funzies!
Great story. Hope to see more from these characters.

I'd love to come back to Bee someday!
