Luna's return and Twilight's ascension to rulership of Equestria helped usher in an age of scientific and magical innovation. She and her slow-aging and long-lived friends lived through tumultous times of discovery and progress, and now Equestria is beginning its first true forays into deep space.
But someone has to be out there, representing Twilight and speaking on her behalf. She can't go herself--FTL travel is still primitive and time consuming. She needs someone out there trekking the stars, keeping up with the growing network of colonies. Someone with diplomatic chops, a vivid imagination, impeccable manners, and a lot of charisma. Rarity is eager to help her wife out in a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the worlds, literally.
Fantastic job! This was a lovely examination of a spacefaring future for the ponies, and you came up with a great and perfectly in-character justification for Rarity to go traveling. Seeing her and Twilight maintain their relationship over their long stretches of time apart was really nice; I'm glad you chose not to make this sad despite that being my initial request.
Amazing fic! I love how great depiction of the characters in the setting is done, also being gently intertwined with some deeper questions — life between thousand years and stars is the perfect background for this indeed. And this story leaves a really cozy and neat feeling.
Gave me a Voices of a Distant Star vibe XD well done!
Space AND Raritwi... I'm in love
Easily the best and most poetic description of a black hole I've ever read
Thank you so much for making this
This was pretty impressive. I really enjoyed it.
Welp, you've managed to make me emotional. The vastness of space and our own insignificance within it, the effects of prolonged solitude, undying love; you've hit all the beats that get me going. Well done. Have a Derpy
That was a really good story.
Im in love with your philosophical storys they touch somthing in me that little else does
