    What do you do, after you've made the impossible, possible?

    With the Wonderbolt tryouts looming just around the corner and rumors of Spitfire being able to perform the Sonic Rainboom at will, Dash is at wits end. She needs something greater, awesomer, more epic than just a mere Rainboom. After all, to perform that trick a second time would label her a one trick pony and if Spitfire could pull it off, then what was the point?

    So what trick could possible be greater than a Sonic Rainboom?

    Okay, so here it is (finally). A slice of life fic with a hint of Twi-Dash in there. Amusingly, when I first started writing this, I figured it'd be 10,000 words, maybe a max of 15,000. As you can no doubt tell from the fact that this is only Part 1, it's a lot longer than I anticipated (also why the next multichapter dark fic isn't out yet). And this is after I cut out an entire arc because the fic was getting too long. Anyways, comedy/romance isn't really my thing and it's just something I wanted to touch on and play with between dark fics.

    This first section is very much a look at Dash's own personality as well as Twilight back when she was in Canterlot and how that effected her growing up. Too late right now for me to think of some proper ramblings, so here, enjoy!

    . Considering how toxic it is,

    Dude. Pinkie Pie ATE some of the stuff. Obviously not toxic.

    “I use dragonfire to cook everything that way I’ve got total control over it.”

    My plate suddenly found itself on the other side of room from me.

    I believe it was 'Bird in the Hoof" where they had Spike cooking up pastries with his fire-- right in public. If she didn't have a problem with it back then, she wouldn't have a problem with it now.

    I know right? Hopefully my next couple of dark fics will make up for that. I'm trying to write a light hearted fic between each multichapter dark one so that my readers don't overdose one me...

    >>1354110

    I like to think Pinkie Pie ate some refined liquid rainbow whereas in the story I'm making the distinction between unrefined liquid rainbow where the unrefined stuff is highly toxic and chemically stable. Probably could have made that clearer so that's my fault. As for Spike's cooking, totally forgot about that.

    >>1354929 I am not a writer, but I like reading really dark stuff. I like the idea of people, (and ponies), Being pushed into dark, evil, cruel situations to test their... character? resolve? Having a tame adventure of going from ponyville into the Everfree and the most dangerous thing being a manticor attack, is still a fun read. But would be better when the situation really sets in, when an actual goddess starts actually doing goddess like stuff and people, or ponies, start really getting hurt and things get very serious. That is just me tho, and also I am a sadistic bastard that only hated Cupcakes cause the format, grammer and such was bad, not cause of the story itself. :pinkiecrazy:

    Yeah, all the things I've said in the past still apply. I like this, but Twidash just doesn't float my particular boat, and the character chemistry between everyone that's not Twilight and Rainbow Dash is the best thing in this.

    >>1354010

    To think, in his take on a slice of life fic Twilight still finds a way to get wounded. I mean this meant to be a happy story and Twilight still has to get permanently hurt.

    Okay, I can definitely see you've derived some elements from A Bluebird's Song and the Reading Rainbow picture by Equestria Pervalis.

    And Damn did you do your sources of inspiration justice...

    I'll be honest, As a lover of Twidash I've been rather disappointed with much of the new fics that have been added to the group for the last few months. Most people are treading familiar water with the whole "Oh they got together because books." and while that's easy to work from, it's stale.

    So for you to come out and drop this great 15k read as a sort-of-starter for what's to coming blew me away. You've done a great job at first-person RD narration, even if sometimes some more fancy vocabulary slips in like "opt". And words do not begin to describe my love for the scene between the two in the hospital. Simply, awesome.

    You have me hooked. Please, continue.

    Spelling errors I noticed:

    “Here are the fact, you like facts right?” - that first fact should be facts

    "She must be good enough to be Princess Celestia's protégé then!'" - She must not be good enough

    I agree with Vurtax!

    You have a great story going here. I am really liking it after some of the Twidash stuff lately.

    P.S. Only complaint I would have is Celestia came and went pretty quickly. Would she not wait until Twilight was awake to check on her? Seemed a bit odd to me.

    The entire thing is written up to a point. I cut so much out of it that I'll probably post up what I've written as a 'complete' fic and then add chapters on later between my larger projects. I mean, I cut out at least 10,000 words probably so yeah.

    Okay, so some of you may have noticed the complete tag (if it still says incomplete then I forgot to change it) and wish to yell at me for ending it like that and you may feel the temptation to cry for more. Well good news, there will probably be more. It's just this fic was never meant to be this long and I want to write my other stuff that I'm more interested in. The reason it's labeled complete because in my mind this is complete. This is one concise, entire story detailing the gradual build up to a date where we got to explore Twilight's past, what Dash wants and what drives her, and what awaits in the future. There will be more to this fic, but I just feel that it's complete (or at least this arc is). So, when will I probably pick it up again? Probably once I'm done with my next multichapter fic, but don't worry, that shouldn't be longer than ten chapters and I'm hoping to release it in about wo weeks time. All this will probably be repeated in the blog post I'm going to write up as well.

    Normally I'd do some ramblings where I give my thoughts on each section, but there are so many sections and it's so massive I don't want to do that again. So hey, lucky you, less reading.

    It certainly feels complete. You'd need some new plot if this were to continue; continuing it solely to show them dating happily would be kind of lame.

    My only real complaint about it was that there really wasn't enough uncertainty regarding whether or not she would actually be able to break the magic barrier; you showed that it would be difficult, but there was never any point where I was worried about her failing. The romance was good, though, and I suppose the fic was more about that than anything else.

    You could also really use an editor. A few silly mistakes are inevitable in a large fic, but there were quite a few in this one.

    I actually had an entire third arc set up that I cut out because it was getting too long. I'll be repurposing it for the intents of continuing it and so forth.

    Yeah, your right. Looking back on it now, she was basically guaranteed to break it so I suppose I could have had more tension there. The main focus was romance, but a bit of uncertainty would have definitely added to the fic.

    I do have an edittor. Just not for this fic. It was too long and not really something I was totally focused on getting polished up. It was a side project that I wanted to write to stop people from overdosing on sadness and dark themes. If it's missing spaces (again) I'm going to be so very annoyed.

    A good ending to a nice story, i feel it was kinda rushed with the training but its ok as everyone just wanted to see the trick, i also like how there is no kiss with twi and dash as it does make it a bit clichéd also the idea of the shadowbolts not being evil for once is very nice

    this is a very good read

    The training was rushed was because I wasn't sure what to write for it. So instead of making stuff up and getting it horribly wrong, I just decided to cut it down slightly and condense it.

    >>1385324

    Really? Damn. I'll admit to editting the second part less because reading 30,000 words multiple times gets dull in the end so I probably ended up skimming sections. And yeah, it does, but it's not the same universe. I may be evil, but this is meant to be lighthearted and happy.

    Luna mocking on her sister was hilarious. How can you complain about that? Authors interpret the two sisters however they damn well please most of the time; why constrain yourself to anything when there's only a single episode worth of Luna to ignore if you'd rather her have a more entertaining personality. Besides, all we've seen from the show is that she's still learning to fit into the modern world, I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see her doing something weird like that in S3 episode.

    Lovely story, but you need to find someone who can thoroughly go over the spelling and grammar in it. I found several places where there were missing words, or the wrong word used. Unfortunately, I didn't make any notes of them, so I can't point them out right now.

    There's also a few scene shifts that are a bit too abrupt, and you often have a problem with showing time passing. That is, it's often hard to get a feel for if it's been hours, days or weeks between scenes.

    I did remember one easily found error though:

    "hundreds of thousands of dollars"

    Might want to change that to "bits".

    From time to time, the characterization was a bit wonky as well. Dash and Twilight was usually on track, and those were the important characters in this story, but others did act a bit odd now and again. I really have to agree with Fury of the Tempest as well. Lunas acting there at the end? That's way too immature. Even if she's more playful than Celestia, she passed quite a few lines on what would be appropriate for a head of state.

    Anyway, I enjoyed reading it even if it's not perfect! Keep up the good work, and I hope to see it continue.

    I actually do have an edittor, I just didn't ask him to edit this fic because this was more something I wrote on a whim for fun. I know that I should have gotten him to edit it since I am posting it up, but I got lazy and I just wanted to get this out so I could focus on my other fics properly.

    Yeah, one thing I was debating was adding in a countdown timer of "x days/hours/whatever till Wonderbolt's Audition" to show passage of time. In the end I actually simply forgot to put that in and yes, I do forget to put stuff in a lot.

    Finished reading this last night went to sleep before commenting (Fixing that now), Anywho, just thought the whole "Breaking the Magic Barrier" would have some sort of fallout similar to the boom of a sonic boom. Magical Distortion is no joke especially when it near a whole crowd of onlookers. Other than the dangers of breaking barriers i liked this story quite a bit. The unrefined rainbow was an interesting concept though it begs the idea where do they get it. Captain of the Shadowbolts was a nice twist and i loved the idea of Luna taunting Celestia with it. If this ever does receive an addition i will surely return to check it out. Great Job :twilightsheepish:

    I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Getting Dash down was the hard part because I wanted her to be relatable and someone Twi could fall for, while keeping her in character. My prereader (y1) really helped in that regard so I can't get all the credit, no matter how much I want to.

    i actually prefer  this sight for  mlp fan fiction cuz ...well its a mlp fan fiction site and the verity is astounding

    also there seems to be less  fandom trolls on this site than on fanfiction

    i mean i have seen stories on FF that were like 100 words long and said nothing other than "they all fucked!" in not so many words

    lol i understand

    kinda wish i could find more fandom sights  tho

    i belong to many fandoms  "Ratchet and Clank" "Sly Cooper" "Spyro (original and legend series)" "Mlp fim" "Star-Wars" "Sonic the hedgehog"

    and  i have only found sights for MLP and Spyro

    i do tend to fallow  authors across sights  so if i find it here  and read it somewhere else  and liked it  they get instant likes and stuff like that

    What realy got me 2 join fimfic was LOYALTY thatone awesome SorinDash fic

    iceflame1019's Dawn of Light series is a great AU Legend's Spyro fic (with some of the original characters in there as well). Long, but really great. You can find it on deviant art.

    Loved the characterization of all the characters. Did an amazing job on twi and rainbow's backstory about fame. Really original idea that worked really well :pinkiehappy:. Reminded me of a condensed version of a bluebirds song without the deceit and plot twists with how twi and dash push each other and compliment each other really well. This deserves more attention for sure, filled with so much feels. Loved it, thumps up, great job :twilightsmile:

    Thanks! I've always felt Twi's and Dash's fame aspect can be used to mirror each other so well, but it's so rarely done. One is famous while the other wishes to be famous and to me, that sets up such an interesting dynamics and as "Twilight's List" put it, Twilight is like the RD of magic. There was originally a third entire arc that I cut out due to length that I'll (hopefully) be turning into a fic in its own right and that too shall hopefully play with them complimenting and mirroring each other like in this fic. Hopefully.

    Maybe. I'm currently working on another fanfic, but considering TwiDash is my favourite ship, you definitely expect more shipping fics from me. Whether it's a continuation of this particular thread or another is an entirely different matter. Like I mentioned above, I originally had an entire third arc for this story that I'll probably write as a separate fic simply because I expect it to be pretty damn long as is.

    Third arc. There was a third arc. But considering the entire thing was meant to be 10,000 words or so and the first two took nearly 20,000 (if I recall correctly) I scrapped it. So instead I'll probably be writing it as a separate thing.

         I would like to challenge what you have just said and ask of you to direct me to a story that has some similarities with this one.  I enjoy the "injury that brings two together" kinds of stories and my main stipulation would be that it must have Dash in it.  In the past week I have read about a dozen stories and none have quite compared to this one.  In short, this is my favorite.

    The first and most similar fic that comes to my head is Dawn of a New Day who I think as an account here? Unsure of that. But when it comes to TwiDash I feel that Bats and Wizard of Words are both better than me. And then you've got writers like SS&E and a ridiculous amount of others that just write better than me in general.

         I now see that I have read some stories from Bats and Wizard of Words.  Both are exceptionally good writers but it does seem that this story is just a bit more appealing to my psyche.  I do enjoy reading good, long, and story creating plots.  The "double wingboner double penetration" must be the oddest story that I have ever read.  I hope to read more stories by you in the near future.

    Different writers have different styles after all and I'm totally not going to complain about getting another reader! Amusingly, this story was meant to be longer, but I cut out an entire third act so it wouldn't be ridiculously long (to think I originally planned on it being 10,000 words!). As for future stories, I'm far more of a dabbler in the dark genre and I'm already writing my next fic that will hopefully be posted in a couple of weeks.

    If I may be so bold as to make some suggestions (and some shameless self plug), Simulacrum has TwiDash and is partially a romance fic despite the lack of romance tag that might interest you, but it is a tragedy fic first and foremost. The ending is also meant to provoke thought and debate so it might be more up your alley. And if you're into Gilda, Trixie, Luna or NMM I suggest you check out Temple of the Stars, which is written by y1fellas (who is an awesome writer with great characterisation skills) and me. And it somehow got featured, though we have no clue how.

    It's so odd to find little recommendations for me like this in places.  Let me just say thank you, haha.  And for the record Transcending Legends was one of the first Twidash stories I read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The scene where the unrefined rainbow exploded has really stuck with me, which is not something I can say about a lot of fics.  Very cinematic and engaging.

    >>2159844

    Haha, I hope you don't judge my writing based solely off of Double Wingboner Double Penetration!  :rainbowlaugh:  That was a way of working through some of the finale-jitters for me and was written to be fast, dirty, silly, and weird.  I write stuff like it every once in a while, but that's hardly what I focus on.  :derpytongue2:

         I am not judging solely off of your odd story.  I am also currently reading your "TwiDash project" and I eagerly await for your next update for it.  I have been meaning to look at all of the stories by the authors that I have chosen as favorites but I have not gotten around to it.  I am currently neck deep in an amazing SpitfireDash trilogy and it captivating to say the least.

         I also thought that I would agree with you as to your thoughts on the unrefined rainbow explosion.  I found many moments in this story that could pull on my heart without totally breaking it.  I am glad to be spreading a good name around to attract some more readers.

    Just spreading the love and recognition around is all. Plus, I recall you writing some truly exquisite fics, though the name elludes me currently.

    And thanks! I really wanted to make sure that scene was engaging and interesting since that was the main 'hook' of the fic. Once people read that bit, I wanted people to keep reading. Of course, if they had gotten that far in, I doubt they were just going to stop, but hey. A hook is better than no hook.

    >>2169223

    Heh, I like to think I'm at least decent with emotions, moods and pulling on heart strings. It's something I've been trying to work on in all my fics and while I know I can get sad or d'awwwww down, I really want to broaden my horizons.

         I thought that you brought out some pretty insane moments of "holy shit this is getting intense" and you can also stir up some great imaginations with the imagery that you create in your story.  I am unsure, but was it this story that had Dash show Twilight the abandoned rainbow factory?  I know that that had some great imagery that made me feel like I was there.  You know, I am starting to enjoy these conversations that I get to have with authors.

    Um... =thinks= Yeah, I believe so. At the very end, she took Dash down to some abandoned place with liquid rainbow everywhere and stuff. Thanks for the compliment! Heh, that was actually a last minute deal. Originally have Dash became the Shadowbolt Captain it was going to cut to a couple weeks/days later where I'd kick off the third arc of the fic and then once that was done, it'd have been a date/dinner scene or something like that. But this was originally going to be a oneshot and it was already 30,000 words or something? So yeah, decided to can the third arc, make that into it's own fic that I'll write at some point in time.

    I pretty much make it rule to reply to everyone who leaves a comment. Of course, if it's a one line "That was awesome! Update Naow!" type of deal I'll probably just reply with a "Thanks!" or something, but if people take the time to read and write up a proper comment or review, I like to think it's my duty to give them the same amount of attention as they gave me and leave a good comment in reply. I mean, I'm not famous or anything like SS&E or WandererD or whatnot so why not? It's not like I don't have the time or get millions of comments each time I update.

         I think that it will be just a matter of time before you get the recognition that you have rightfully coming.  I am also looking forward to the story that you cancelled the third arc for.  If is anywhere near as good as this one then I am sure that I and countless others will enjoy it.

         I know that there would be something good to write if you maimed AJ because of the farm and what-not.  You could also do some amazing things with some of the wonderbolts as well (Spitfire:twilightsheepish:).  Let the imagination run wild and see what it happens to stumble upon.  It could very well be the next big thing on this site.

    Heh, y1 and I have a competition to see who gets featured or makes it onto EQD first and we both agree shipping fics are cheating (no offense). So yeah, I will write it eventually, but I'm working on a massive multi-chapter AU fic that'll be on par with Breaking Twilight that I wrote, but hopefully better.
