OMG I LOVE YOU
now it's time to read.
52,000 words to read?
You're a madman!
Where's my coffee?
Is this a band I've never heard of, or a typo?
I've already done the research! He can! And they don't have much of a flavor, either.
Missing words
At least one of the stars in the big dipper is a galaxy, too, but I don't remember which one it is.
you know, I wanted to sleep when I got home. I should have just ignored my computer, taken a shower, and tucked in, but no. I saw this in my email. I'll be passing out at work tomorrow, but 50,000 words of this? worth it.
Took it out of context for you.
That was awesome!!! I loved both of these chapters so much! Thank you very much!
Aaaaand I might have an idea for a drawing .. I'm not sure I'll get it done though..
Great coupla chapters. Makes me want to get back into writing haha

I know, right? I can't wait for the next part.
You know what always fascinates me about the Milky Way? The fact that we know exactly what arm we're in, and how far from the galactic center we are. It's akin to figuring out your exact location in the middle of the Pacific ocean... After having been ship-wrecked, and in the process of drowning. It's nothing short of amazing, and we've done it while going no further than the orbit of our own planet!
ehheh... Sorry, I was just waiting for Alex to say something to that effect whilst they were stargazing.
Sleep, what is this 'sleep' with which you speak? All 50k+ words, one sitting. Totally worth it. Though at the end of the episode, my DNA clearly fused with that of Sweetie Belle...
4453368 Too tired to name, here... Helps, maybe?

Two things. One, "skimmed a couple grabbed" doesn't parse -- it should probably be "skimmed a couple and grabbed" to be complete. Two, "some magazine" has mismatched plurality. It should be either "a magazine" or "some magazines".
It looks like "turning" shouldn't be here, as the sentence would make more sense without it.
"She [would] slowing lifting" has mismatched tense. It should be "She'd slowly lift".
Loving this story, despite the mature tag (I don't usually comment of mature stories but I'm making an exception =x).
Just one mistake I've been seeing in a few stories on fimfic. The other got the rest. =x
The "reign" here should be "rein".

We do make teas out of chrysanthemums, so they should be edible if we could boil it. =x
[Twilight mode]
I'm pretty sure that was just Alex's gaff but the closest star is Alpha Centauri at 4.4 light years. The sun is 8.3 light minutes from Earth, so his "seven minutes or so" comment was technically correct.
[/Twilight mode]
AT LAST!
Definitely worth the wait, though. You certainly delivered.
The picnic was gorgeous.
I guess she wants to sleep together aswell. Herd animals like to sleep together afteral(gaurding each other). It is normal for her to feel safe when he is around.
Not bad at all chap.
A nice relaxing two chapters.
I wonder what will be next though?
I find myself not looking forward to the day when either she gets enough power to teleport home, or the calvary (heh) pops over to 'rescue' her from the scary looking aliens. Sure, it's a bit selfish but I really enjoy the interaction of these two, how they compare notes from their respective worlds. Heh, it was amusing when her mind was blown as Alex bungled his way through describing the universe at large. Poor Twilight would never survive the internet... trying to assimilate all that knowledge before she collapses from a marathon studying week.
One thing that I was curious about, if she's an alicorn, shouldn't she know a spell of invisibility, a perception filter field, or some such cloaking magic? If I was a unicorn or alicorn, it would be the second spell I learned, right after telekinesis-- two essential spells for pranking of course. Granted, it would be a drain on her reserves but she's already done some teleporting to and from the car with no heed of it's magical cost. I ask this since I'm assuming a teleport costs a lot more than keeping up an invisibility shield around herself.
I didn't read this yesterday, because I did need to sleep. But I will point out that that means that I read both chapters today. Which, since I'm a huge fan of the Dresden Files, ought to tell you something about how much I like this fic. I do not regret this decision.
That said, Alex needs to brush up on his astronomy. Alpha Centauri is a mere 4.37 light years from us, and the Sun is 8 minutes and 19 seconds away, as the photon travels.
It would be neat to see a chapter in Etherea's POV.
Donw, sadly. Now I have to wait for the next part again.
Nice Character development, I really like stories like this
Please tell me you're not going to have him be super politically correct. 'Cuz believe it or not, the vast majority of black people (and I'm one of them) either don't care or actually get offended when you call them African American.
OK, I ha e to admit; the whole reluctance to accepting Etherea for who and what she is was starting to become grateing. Though now this whole slowly becoming at ease between the two characters has started to become rather endering.
Keep up the good work.
PS: I actually don't mind if the extra fluff was kept in the chapters. Gives it more of a slice of life feel. What seem like little mundane things, add wheight and gives a little more authenticity to the two growing closer with time, instead of compressing things and feeling rushed.
Finally, some progress in their budding relationship! Great to see things starting to go well and them finally loosening up.
Oh my this is delightful, I can't get enough of it.
I like that Alex is slowly becoming aware of himself more. Looks like Etheria is starting to come around a touch (such a gentle touch too).
I can not wait for the next installment, it could go anywhere; which makes me really excited.

4457181 She has been their less than a week. I know it feels long because of the word count, but that's not very much time to get used to finding a horse attractive.
Dang, you send this whopper at us with no mercy. Glad to see the two get closer together without freaking out again.
Damn, I've read hardcovers shorter than this update. How did it go by so fast?!
Yay, progress! Etherea is learning a lot, and she's turning out to be a lot more cordial - the nuzzle shows it. I love that. Time for the development train to hit Alex now, and make him stop being a spineless, neurotic wreck, or at least to the current degree.
Ow... EVEN with computer glasses, my eyes hurt... It certainly doesm't have to do with it being 1:28 AM here. Why, that is such a ridiculous notion! Night.
Died
Please please please don't keep us waiting as long for the next chapter!
Okay, he's up to "nuzzle" status. Only fifteen more chapters before he gets to "big hug."
totaly loved it i hope you'll continue this story i hope it wouldn't take another year but it's totally okay if it did because an update like this totally is worth the wait
I'm kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop. Some sort of message from Equestria. There's no doubt at all that Etherea's disappearance got the attention of half a dozen of the most influential, intelligent, and resourceful Ponies in the world at the very least.
I also had the thought that instead of some sort of vague message back, Etherea might be told of the existence of small, portable voice recording and playback devices that humans have. They would certainly be easier to send than an entire living pony.
Here are my comments. Take them or leave them.
Chrysanthemum flowers are edible
Stars are not self-controlled explosions, they are massive nuclear reactions.
I feel true sadness for anyone who actually believes this. Their lives must be so empty.
They aren't the same. "Pony" isn't a cute word for "horse", it's a separate and distinct species, just like humans are different from apes. This little thing that I see in a lot of FiM fictions annoys me.
I enjoyed this chapter, especially seeing Etherea and Alex getting along better and being more friendly.
You should have showed her Reddit r/Equestrian
YEAH! Bring on the nuzzling!

Well I'm pretty sure he didn't want to shove religion into something as simple as star gazing, yes you can say Jehova created the stars the world the entire universe, but with Etherea you can't say that as its pushing your view of things onto her making it fact when for her it isn't.
Etherea has her own view of the world around her, her own view of life itself. Both spiritually and scientifically. That are (Most likely) radically different from yours. What would make your beliefs any different from hers?
Your's is just one input granted one I share but don't push your own views on another, that just gets people annoyed.
And more then likely the reason why your comment has some negative feedback.
A small nit, I'm pretty sure the closest star is 4 light years away, not 10.
I finally got around to reading this story, and is it ever one of my favorites.
I love your writing style, and the fact that you manage to drag it out without it feeling drawn out at all. So much information and content, lots of feelings and other awesomeness.
I cannot wait for the next chapter, though I dread the wait. At least your chapters are beefy as hell and well edited once they release.
"Look at these blacks!" - Etherea, 2014
Was actually pretty curious about this but... How long do your posts usually take you? Like the in between time. I noticed this story was started 2 years ago and was just kind of curious. I'll be a reader regardless of time spent waiting I promise ^__^
you are torturing me! i hope to see more romance soon.
I would like to point out that you could buy an uncut amethyst the size of your fist for 50 USD or so.
Not bad for a first date. Nice to see she's feeling a bit more secure in her situation.
I fucking died right here.
Rework

Watching one direction
Etherea was so

So enticingly close
This is now my third time readinng this chapter and it still a great chapter!
Astronomy is a cool scientific field!
I just wish that I took more astronomy classes in college and that my high school had one. Freaking boring biology/botany class....
Blew a Q-drop on a geology class.
Fourth time rereading this chapter, and it still holds up as one of the best chapters on the site!
Really wished that he blew her mind by telling her that some of those "stars" were actually entire galaxies, and that some are neighboring planets.
Unfortunate that he never told her about the other planets in the local solar system.
I give this chapter 10 happy Twilights out of 10!
