    • Progress
      It's easy to lose sight of how far you've come when all you can see are the mistakes of the past. What happens when Twilight finds herself trapped, knowing that for every thing she's done right, she's done something else wrong?

    • Spell
      Looking back, it should have been obvious. All those brief moments they spent together, the close encounters, it was like they were dancing around the subject. And it all began with something so very small.

    There comes a moment in everypony's life when they have to look back and see what they have done. There is nothing that I regret in my life. I have battled demons, defeated gods, and deciphered mysteries that the Princesses themselves doubted could be unlocked. All of that was just the beginning to a grand adventure.

    I have the "It's Over 9000" soundbite from DBZ on my iTunes, mostly for shits and giggles.

    My songs are always on shuffle, so what are the odds that that soundbite plays as I click on this story?

    THE WORDCOUNT IS OVER NINE-THOUSAND!

    I am so sorry.

    Definetly one of the best romance stories I have read. The Pinkie & Fluttershy ordeal was the first thing that brought me to tears, the second was Dash proposing.

    An absolutely beautiful story that deserves to be read by everypony on this site.

    I've heard there stuff before. Not bad. While not entirely my style I am not some idiot that will go and bash it just because it's not my exact style.

    The song you sent me in a way reminded me of a song on the edge of my style. This one.

    I will end our back and forth on this comment board here so as to not annoy the author with a bunch of comments not pertaining to their story.

    If you wish to continue this musical sharing just send a PM.

    It's just.....so ungodly amazing. Really. This has literally just knocked at least 1o different fics out the window and is sitting as one of the absolute best pieces I've read. There are so many feels in this fic, all of them good. All of them so well developed and realistic. There isn't any needless tragedy to create tension, everything is completely possible due to time. Even her end thoughts are something that I can see any person feeling and the dynamic of Rainbow helping Twi realize how much more there is in life to enjoy just....ahhhhh it's too amazing. I don't care what you ever think of yourself, after this there is no doubt that you are in fact The Wizard of Words.

    heart warming, sweet and beautiful the best combo for a good fanfic i like it how it goes over everything as a long friendship report and a one at that i believe it could make a man with a heart of stone share a tear or two.

    A man once said: a great love is like a good memory, if fores it or push it, it will seem fur fer away but if you sit wait and if your patient then maybe just maybe it will come to you.

    First off, because I'm just a nitpicky person, a few errors here and there. Nothing that couldn't be glossed over, so no big deal. And this story is complete, right? So that thing saying the story is incomplete is false?

    Now, for the most important part.

    Wizard of Words, you brilliant, brilliant man.

    This story made me smile like a goofy bastard. Thank you for taking my shitty day and spitting in it's face.

    This story shall be re-read in my future. This story has the ability to make me happy no matter what happens in my life. Thank you for just being so awesome.

    This story starts great, but there's one little thing I want to say, if that's ok with you. Could you please slow things just a little bit down. Twighlights other feeling and the development of the relationships of the mane 6 could be depicted more detailed.And somehow Twighlight was easier to convince to a marriage than to an one night stand in other stories. I know that she was thinking about this a long time ago, because Twighlight nearly never does something without long thinking, but you can let her tell us more about this feelings. That would be nice, if you don't mind.

    I understand where you are coming from, and I did try to do that at first, but I guess the reason why I didn't was because Twilight was trying to explain how these big things happen over time, and I gave them an unspoken relationship between Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy's incidents. If I had spent longer on her thought process it most likely would have altered the pacing of the story compared to the rest of the fic, which would have been damaging.

    Some more thoughts from me...

    I liked that Twilight started to freak out. It's exactly like her to overthink and rile herself up over little things like this. Good characterization there.

    I didn't like how rushed the TwiDash was. Twilight kinda went into blow-by-blow description storytelling in that part. As it was the narrator recounting her own love tale, I would have liked to see that part expanded upon. Maybe mention how Twilight had felt something for Rainbow, maybe have her realize that she and Rainbow had shared feelings for one another prior to the Wonderbolts letter, and they were clearer in hindsight. It was such an important part of the story, and it kinda feels as though you glossed over it.

    A story that rends the very barriers that one has set around their heart and soul, singing beautiful symphonies of wondrous emotion that cascade through our heart, nay, our very manifestation of ourselves, enticing us with it's teases of true love and care, as well as it's true content, the lesson that the best has truly been saved for the future. It is a manifestation of wonder, and I hereby classify it as one of the Great works of TwiDash, if not as one of the greater works in the entirety of fictionalized stories under the romance genre on FIMfiction.

    Long story short, loved it to atomic pieces. Thank you fully for the brilliant and truly wonderful work! :twilightsmile:

    Nicely done! I loved it all (sucker for a good TwiDash), except for the two marriage proposals, which seemed to come completely out of nowhere. Just two extra paragraphs giving some background to set them up would've at least made them plausible.

    I loved this story, from start to finish.  I started crying when I finished it last night: it made me stop, look at how I was living my life, see an ugly truth for what it was and make me want to change it.  Not that I have a bad life: far from it, but I can see now how I can do so much better.  I'm still in the rough stages of change: the last few weeks have been particularly tough, and it's been a long time coming anyway, but this has been the perfect catalyst for setting me on the right track.

    From someone on the way to changing their life for the better: thank you for writing such a beautifully optimistic and inspiring story. :twilightsmile:

    okay, although this line:

    almost ruined the story for me because of how unrealistic it was, it was quickly balanced out by how emotional the ending was. This is a perfect portrayal of what life is, and it's one of the best fics I've read. Amazing.

    Hello, I'm back after actually reading the story. Not what I expected, but that's not a bad thing.

    I just thought this would be another TwiDash story, but everything that happened in the story just all collected into one gigantic ball of feels.

    This one is definitely one of my favorites. Good Show. :twilightsmile:

    Mmm, I'm gonna feel like a jerk for saying this, but I think it needs to be addressed regardless.

    You tried to do way too much with this story, and I believe it suffered because of it.

    It moves so fast, flying from significant event to significant event, touching on them only briefly before flying off again, wildly landing at another moment in time.  Now, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it -- the writing was good, really no problem with grammar, and I definitely felt some feels -- but a lot of what I did feel was lessened because most of it was only a glimpse, and a good portion of them came completely out of left field.  For example, the bit when Pinkie ask's Fluttershy to be the mother?  I didn't necessarily feel my heart being warmed, I think it was more something like this:  "Wha?".  There was near to no build up, nothing alluding to their feelings for one another, it just sort of happened.  One shot, it happens then its done, moving on to the next scene.  The emotion you had there felt cheapened by it, because it honestly felt a little forced.

    Anyway, another example would be the TwiDash moment, when Rainbow proposes.  Again, right out of left field, it just happened, and Twilight just says "yes".  She does go on to admit that it was fast, yes, but that sounds like a cop out, a quick escape.  I really wouldn't be near as miffed about it as I am, had we been shown some relationship build up to it, but that sadly didn't occur, so I am.  The TwiDash in general was heart warming and fluffy, but that brings me to another point.

    I think this fiction was really just a bunch of fluffy frosting, without the nice, delicious layered cake underneath.  It's a gathering of fun and important scenes from their lives, and that's it, really.  There's not much driving motivation for anyone, or a consistent conflict, and because of that there really isn't much to become drawn in by (also, not every story needs to end with the ridiculously happy "they had a baby" deal... no offense ^^;)

    I did like the little internal conflict Twilight had about her life, and what's going to come after this moment.  Although, I don't really think Dash's explanation solves it very well.  The reason Twi is worried that disappointment is all she has to look forward to now is because she already has everything she could ever want, When Rainbow essentially says "We can always continue to dream, to wish for things to come", that doesn't solve anything.  Twi already had all she wished for, there's nothing else she wants, that's why she's worried; Dash, you're not helping >_>

    Overall, it's pretty good for what it was.  A kind of feel good fic that highlights all the great moments in their life.  The writing is good, and the feels are there, but I just don't think it stacks up to all your other stories.

    It has a lot of potential, but you tried to cram so much in, you ended up taking out what was important, and that's depth.

    Fair response. I admit, I felt myself that it was rushed in a few parts, but I didn't know how else to add depth without making it into another massive epic, you know like the other three I have going. Hopefully I'll be able to fix that issue in some updates, but I do appreciate the honesty.

    No sense in making another epic if you don't have to, especially if have three going already.  Besides, this would be one long story, and I'm more interested in what you already have, honestly.

    On that note, I do believe either Progress or Slender awaits.

    I never asked for this.

    I never asked for all these feels: all this happiness and all these sad feels.

    But then everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

    On a serious note, you have an impressive amount of writing talent. I hope to see you furthering your skills and your selection. I love TwiDash ships (without clop, mind you), and after reading A Bluebird's Song (which every single person here needs to go read), I have become very picky on which stories are good. The bar has been raised to a level I have never seen before with A Bluebird's Song. However, you have succeeded in creating a story that I enjoy. Kudos.

    This was beautiful, nothing more, nothing less. This is a story that does not need praise or adulation. It is simply what it is and what it is, is simply beautiful.

    The second story to only ever make me tear up.

    This story was absolutely amazing. I honestly started to tear up more than once while reading this. You are one heck of an author. I am glad bats linked to you in his blog post.
