This is so sweet! I love the way the words drift just like a dream.

One of the best and worse feelings, in my opinion, is realizing that you're not needed anymore. That everything will be fine without you. Not wanting to let go, but knowing that it's time to. The world can, will, and always has, gone on without you there.

You have a lovely writing style.

God, you have the perfect feel for melancholy amongst fulfillment, Skirts. Every story that contains this particular writing style makes me feel almost protective over whomever's turmoil is the main subject for the time. It's so subtle and gentle yet completely exigent, forcing you to accept it just as well as they, no matter how much they'd rather not.

If it happened I'd pay big bucks for an organized catalogue and/or physical book of your past, present, and future stories, that's for damn sure! Love reading these masterpieces.

Only now have I fully remember

oi! no jumping between tenses in the same sentence!

nice story, good read Skirts!

You have an inherent knack for writing stories that read like poetry. I felt myself carried away by the tide of words and reveled in the sweet embrace of gentle prose, even when it dipped towards melancholic.

I always look forward to when you publish a story, and this particular one is a time example of why.

Gorgeous, carefully balanced bit of melancholy. Luna's solemnity and Applejack's cheer each anchor the other, keeping the story from going too far in either direction and thus into self-parody. Thank you for this.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees the wholesome friendship potential between AJ and Luna. This is a great read! Thanks so much for sharing it with us :pinkiesad2:

It’s so beautiful

I remember seeing this under new, reading it, enjoying it, and figuring I'd drop its first like. So glad to see it's trending!!

I try to avoid reading too deeply into stories, assigning too much meaning beyond what is said directly, to better enjoy such stories simply for what they are.

With your stories, though, no matter how often and how resolutely you say you aren't a good writer, under all the purple and odd choices of words that make it yours, I find it difficult.

Whether or not I am reading too deeply, I hope that you continue to find joy in writing, whatever form it may take, whatever world it may open.

I usually have something maybe-lengthy to say after reading anything you write.

But not this one. I don't have anything to say other than....wow, that was beautiful.

Nice to see you can still knock it out of the park when you want to :D

Sweet beyond words...

How sweet. I haven’t been on fimfiction in a few years but coming back to your stories and seeing you are still writing, it feels like it was just yesterday I first read kicking ass in hell or background pony.
