Verra sneaky, well done!

Wow This was a pretty sweet story and heck yeah sunburst and starlight got married 😍😍 And fizzypop That girl is something else I really like her This was a pretty good story keep out up the good work

That was very cute. Since I ship Starburst I am glad they got married here. I personally see Twilight and Tempest as sister figures rather than lovers though so I wasn’t a big fan of that stuff but it was still kinda cute regardless.

Are they though? This is Tempest, after all, and with her, you can never be quite sure...
:twilightsmile:

(Seriously, though, my take on it is that Twilight and Tempest find that each of them is who the other is looking for, even if it's only as someone they can depend on, more than anypony else...)

GREAT job on the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up in this one shot. And, yeah, I can certainly see Twi being so nervous about handling Starlight and Sunburst's wedding that she would need a lot of calming down. And, yeah, I would say this IS in the early years of Twilight's reign (long enough for Gallus to reach the rank of lieutenant, but short enough for Twilight to not have much experience with officiating weddings). But, yeah, this WILL certainly NOT be the last time she's going to have to officiate a wedding of AT LEAST ONE of her friends (Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich definitely come to mind there, as well as PROBABLY Fluttershy and Discord, etc.)

Anyway, very definitely looking forward to more of your work.

Non-Romantic Life Partners maybe? Just cause you love someone doesn't mean your in love. The Romans had it right with the 4 types of love.
Agape spiritual love, compassion, and empathy. Love for those you don't know.
Eros, romantic love nuff said
Philia the love of friends and close compaions. Affectionate friendship.
Storge the love pof fellows in arms, of allies. Friendship but more practical.
Twilight and Tempest could have a Philia relationship.

Okay, I like this one. I like it a lot.

Tempest has quickly grown to be a favorite pony of mine, beautiful and a badass. What’s more to love? I’m always eager to add more stories starring her to my library.

Though I’ve never really read a story focusing on her and Twilight in such a manner. And it was excellent! Though I haven’t read any romantic stories for the particular pair.

Into the favorites this goes! And I think I’ll make a new bookshelf for this!

Never been too fond of Glimburst as a ship (I just never noticed any "spark" between them in the show, I guess) but this was still a most excellent, heartwarming feel-good fic. I guess it helps I ship the heck out of Twipest :rainbowlaugh:

The flow, the characterization, the dialogue... All simply wonderful. An easy upvote and a favorite from me!

......... -swats that Ruler of Equestria crown off of Twilight's head and forces it back into Celestia's Crown and Luna's Crown-

Yes Starlight was Twilight’s student but Sunburst helped raise Cadance’s daughter. What was her bribe for not getting to officiate the ceremony?

...For the love of God, STOP DOING THIS. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT. Please stop shoving your hate-boner down every single fucking fanfic that even brushes against the notion of Twilight ruling Equestria. IT. IS. ANNOYING!

And I don't give a damn how much you "just hate it". You've been regurgitating this exact same argument at everyone in earshot for a year straight, and I've had it up to here dealing with your brand of bullshit. DROP IT ALREADY.

Just to give my own perspective here, it took me the longest time to wrap my head around "Princess Twilight of Equestria" as canon. I kept wanting to write stories about Twilight and her Ponyville friends, recapturing some of that wonderful Season 1-3 vibe that I'm sure brought many of us onboard with this show. However, it seems like a fair part of the readership are interested in stories featuring an "older" Mane 6, plus the Young Six, Cozy Glow, Luster Dawn, and the future of Equestria under Twilight's rule. So as an admittedly self-interested and self-serving author I want to move to where the readers are. These past few stories I've been writing are a way of exploring this new version of the world, and seeing what I can find in the way of interesting concepts and untouched ideas.

It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, we all know that. And I've written plenty of stuff that doesn't involve Twilight ruling Equestria, so if that's your preference, why not go give some of my back catalogue a look-see? Who knows, you might even find something you like! (I'm particularly fond of Shopping Spree Day myself. There's some good bits with Pinkie there which were a hoot to write!)

Well, that's cool -- I got a positive reaction from both a Starburst and a Templight shipper. So I must be doing something right here...
:twilightsheepish:

mhm... great story! looking forward to seeing you expand more on this if you ever do :D

I enjoyed this a great deal. Thank you for writing it so effectively. Kudos to you!:scootangel:

Sweet story. Although was it necessary to tweak the noses of Startrix shippers? Not great and powerful, man. :trixieshiftright:

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Hats off, kind author! Here, have an upvote! :heart:

As an avid Twizzlepop/Twipest shipper, I loved their moments in this story! They really are adorable :twilightblush:

10408715
Yeah well.... I have few users that I know that support my opinions on Season 9 anyways. >:/
10408756
It's just..... Ruling an entire nation wasn't Twilight's destiny at all. :/

10409675

I have few users that I know that support my opinions on Season 9 anyways.

...Did you not see the anti-retirement fixfic that topped the feature box for nearly all of the past week? 450+ Likes. You have no right to pull the "nobody supports me" card.

Ruling an entire nation wasn't Twilight's destiny at all.

Twilight ruling Equestria had almost nothing to do with this fanfic's plot.

Unless you're opposed to the notion of Twilight being a princess altogether, in which case you should probably just go back to 2012.

10409697
I do so. And I commented on that fic anyways.

Whatever, you just don't get it what Twilight wants in her life. And being Ruler isn't one of them. -_-

this was freaking adorable

I won't lie I adore TempestLight keep up the love hun! Also great story and a perfect read to warm the soul.

Yep. This failed utterly and miserably to suprise me. It might have actually worked had you used a different cover art. It's a dead give away to the plot.

Oh, and Tempest being in the story at all only ever means she and Twilight will be shipped at some point. And that the edgy as fuck Half Horn is always in the Royal Guard, because "Why the fuck not?" Is all I ever get from the sad and miserable excuses authors use.

I was actually hoping I would be wrong about that part at least. Guess I need to stop expecting fans to try something different with her.

This failed utterly and miserably to suprise me. It might have actually worked had you used a different cover art. It's a dead give away to the plot.

I don't think this was trying to be all that surprising. The tags themselves are a dead giveaway as-is.

Oh, and Tempest being in the story at all only ever means she and Twilight will be shipped at some point.

That wasn't what the author was going for:

Seriously, though, my take on it is that Twilight and Tempest find that each of them is who the other is looking for, even if it's only as someone they can depend on, more than anypony else...

If someone wants to see shipping, all power to them, but at its core, this fic is just really strong friendshipping.

And that the edgy as fuck Half Horn is always in the Royal Guard, because "Why the fuck not?" Is all I ever get from the sad and miserable excuses authors use.

That edgy-as-fuck Half Horn commanded an army that conquered nearly every nation it came across. It's not that far of a stretch to say Tempest could make her way into the Royal Guard.
Hell, if anything, that might actually be underselling her.

Guess I need to stop expecting fans to try something different with her.

No need to be a condescending jerk about it. If anything, that makes me care less about what you're saying.

I love this story. Tempest shows her love for Twilight in her own in-character deceptive way. Teleporting the book was like Tempest's sneaky way of stopping Twilight from overthinking everything.

I ship Tempest and Twilight so hard now. A "bad girl" with a studious goody-two-shoes. This story I think shows how well that works.

They're perfect for each other. There's even less of a height difference. :rainbowlaugh:

My only complaint is that Starlight and Trixie make a better couple than Starlight and Sunburst, in my opinion. :trixieshiftright:

10409805
Well, that answers my question weather they were a couple in this or not.

I wasn’t quite sure myself.

Oh, and Tempest being in the story at all only ever means she and Twilight will be shipped at some point. And that the edgy as *** Half Horn is always in the Royal Guard, because "Why the *** not?" Is all I ever get from the sad and miserable excuses authors use.

I've written 46K words describing and justifying Tempest ending up as Twilight's personal guard, and nominal head of her own private army. That's more than sufficient justification for implying the same here. And Twilight bringing Tempest along when she was made Princess of Equestria, and appointing such a determined and capable officer and tactician to oversee her armed forces -- including the Royal Guard -- is no great stretch.

10409903
I have yet to read anything fanmade that convinced me that Tempest would ever actually do it though. Gallus being in the Guard is a stretch to be honest. But I could see it as a way as to not have to back to Griffonstone.

Plus Hasbro made it show canon, and you cannot argue, and win, with show canon.

If it had shown Tempest had done the same, or even hinted at it, then I'd say something different. But all of this about her joining the Royal Guard, has been nothing but fanmade ideas.

From your profile page: "Show canon only matters if you let it."

Somepony's gotten cynical. :twilightsmile:

10409961
I say that because I don't even bother to try and fit my stories into show canon. I just use it as a basis. This, and a lot of other stories, are making themselves out as show possible. Or at least some of the ideas in them.

Tempest being a Royal Guard is one idea that, out of everything that came from the Movie, has the least to back it up as possibly being a thing.

Heck Starlight and Sunburst being a couple has more to back it up. Nothing set in stone and proven. But I can see the possibility in was shown in the show.

Princess Twilight and Commander Tempest Storm? Yeah, I could see that.

10582156
"Tempest Storm" seems to be a good name but "Tempest Shadow" still suits her because of her both edgy and blunt style, because "tempest" means "a violent windy storm" (especially the ones with rain, hail, snow, etc.), while "shadow" means "a dark figure" so her name simply means "a shadow from a strong wind storm"
