This story is a sequel to Stay With Me
It rains hard in Canterlot, and cold, but at five in the morning in the arms of another, the morning rain isn't so bad to listen to.

Every single one of the stories in this series has been sweet and precious, even those with less than happy elements as a major theme.
This one, though? This is the sweetest, purest thing I've ever read in my life. It feels like an emotional payoff I didn't even know I wanted, but now that I've seen it I'm just so, so happy it exists.
Well, congrats, I-A-M. You've made me cry once again. These stories are beautiful in concept, perfect in execution, and wonderfully gay. I hope this series of stories, and/or literally everything else you've written is physically published. Because I don't care how many books you make or how expensive they are, I will buy everything (physical copies of your stories would fit well on the top shelf, next to Tolkien and Crichton).
Also, it's really helped emotionally with an 18 karat run of bad luck over the last few months, so thank you for that as well.
I'm low on time and don't have time for a more substantial comment at the moment, but definitely thank you, as usual, for writing. :)
I thought the series between these two was over, but I guess I was wrong and I'm so happy about it!

lord no, I've still got stories to tell, and Running Out Of Air is still updating.

Wonderfully gay is truly what I strive for. I'm glad my stories can be a bright spot for you, and I hope things improve soon.

Excellent!
Commitment is scary even when you want what comes with it. Even more so when it's for a lifetime. No shame in that, Wally. However, if this series doesn't end with a happy wedding I will riot.

The emotional catharsis here after reading Stay With Me... Part of it's my fault, because I cry way easier at happy things than sad things. And Wallflower finally, truly, ultimately understanding not only how much Sunset did for her, but why she did, and that hitting her all at once in the aftermath of one of the biggest (if not the biggest) nights of her life...
You took my heart out of my chest and just kicked it up and down the street, Yammy. But my heart needs to do that once in a while. It's good exercise.
Oh my god dude. These are tears of joy damit!
Man, this is just pure. Just pure. And that word is often used to mean 'sweet' or 'sappy', and while this is both of those things it's not what I mean here.
This quick snippet is the pure, filtered essence of Wallflower's character, in the way that can only come out in the wee hours when all is quiet but for the rain. Once again, you prove your expertise in getting right inside a character's head and condensing it into a 1,200-word injection of bittersweet introspection to be administered straight into our hearts.
Such a powerful line delivering such an important lesson, and as always, you fit everything you write into your saga's continuity flawlessly. It also works as a sign of Wally's improvement - a far cry from her horrifying thoughts in Running Out Of Air.
And I'll tell ya what. When you want to do artsy-fartsy repetition at the beginning and end of a story, do you ever know how to make it hit. Such a great way of making the passage seem ever-so-slightly dreamy, a meaningless piece of introspection that somehow means everything nonetheless.
This series has been so absolutely earnest in how it shapes the growth of the characters and their love. There are hundreds of sweet little fluff stories on the site that try and capture the kind of wholesomeness here, but it's really not the same. Sure, they all end up sweet, but the contrast with the characters' struggles combined with all the heart your poured into these stories is what makes them wholesome. It's something entirely reliant on how exceptional and hard to find these stories are. Of all the little one-shots, I think this was my favorite of the batch. Morning Rain has everything that I wanted a story after a NSFW side romp to have because I don't feel like I missed anything by skipping over that entry.
Part of breaking away from abuse or enduring recovery from long-suffering battles with mental illness is that even when you're out, you don't feel that is true. Even when physical freedom is attained, mental freedom from trauma's lasting effects on a person isn't guaranteed to happen. That Wally hasn't felt free or loved until now, after so much time and growth in her relationship (and for herself!) is a deeply relatable moment I hadn't expected to encounter. Fuck, thude. This one hit and it hit hard, which is fairly hard for super short stories on the site as it is.
