Crap, I forgot to thank people in the authors notes. :facehoof: :twilightblush: My bad.
I would like to thank my two beautiful proof readers: Pulse Flyer from iBrony.com and veridianphantom from right here in my home town. You guys are the best.

FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE.
I need to stop reading these second person fics. :eeyup:

Great story bro. :rainbowkiss:
But, I thought of something. The library's bigger on the inside... What else is?

This appears to be an interesting premise and has a lot of promise to be a touching romance with a unique protagonist and different premise with Twilight than I've seen before.

I may have missed something crucial but the back story ended up seemingly contradictory to me. You said the protagonist had graduated from school, then three years later left home for Canterlot and as a young "School colt" didn't do well there. Seems like you were still figuring out his age range for traveling around while writing this part.

The conversations with Twilight could have felt a lot more fun and animated with some gestures and descriptors added for flavor. Take this block of vocals for an extreme example:

“So where are you from?” Twilight asks.

“Fillydelphia.” You reply.

“Wow, you’re a long way from home.” She says.

“Yeah, I haven’t been back in three years.” You say, a darker tone taking your voice.

“Why’d you leave?” She asks, prodding you for information.

“Family reasons.” You say coldly.

“Okay, I won’t push.” She says.

A couple times you mention a tone shift, but there's no mention of facial expressions or physical movement. Did the corners of his eyes tighten? Did his grip on the hot chocolate become stressed? Did Twilight's smile falter a bit? Did Twilight fiddle with her mug a little while asking out of curiosity? Did his or her tail flick with agitation or anxiety? What about the ears? Not saying to go crazy, just to add something once in awhile to paint a picture to engage the imagination.

Are both great stories that use physical and facial expressions to convey meaning outside of words and engage the reader with imagery. Check them out for a good read and to see how much flavor can be added to a story when these techniques are used properly.


Anywho, I think the story has the potential to be really sweet which is why I was suggesting looking at this stuff. Since I'm enthusiastic about it I mean. I'm looking forward to what comes next in this wintery romance~ :pinkiesmile:

It's now official. Twilight is a timelord and her TARDIS is the library.
That's now canon. :rainbowlaugh:

My ONLY major criticism is that you need a little bit more in terms of romantic detail. Try fleshing out your vocabulary a little, adding some phrases that may seem a little pointless here and there, mainly during dialogue.
Mind you, I am a complete and total nitpick, so don't take my criticism too harshly.

Other than that, it's great. So far, you've got a 4/5 from me, but if you added some more detail in terms of actions and expressions during dialogue, it would be perfect. It's not too sappy, and there are very few points that I found confusing.

Excellently written, sir (or madam, whichever is applicable.). I would definitely like to see more from you!
:eeyup:

EDIT: Ah-HA! I knew I recognized your style from somewhere. I really liked The Wub That Blinds.

This chapter really turned out well! And since many have said it I don't really need to add anything else to the vocab part. The story itself is coming along swimmingly, work on the next chapter soon! :pinkiehappy:

Thanks to veridianphantom for proof reading the first half of the chapter and ThaWh1teBrony for the second half. You two are the best.

The big brain sez no no but the little brain sez yes yes

It's unfortunate that he loses himself in the moment.
...because all that I see coming now is Mom's Spaghetti.

Aw sheet cake- why does my character always have to be an idiot?

So it is, but why does it have to show up every freakin' time, and why is it that every time it DOESN'T show up there's always some misunderstanding where they think I'm cheating on them anyways? It's like the universe is conspiring against the main character- always. Oh wait, it is. :facehoof:

Love is a path to the dark side... which is why it's the strongest kind of magic.

Grandmother once said this: All women are equely beautiful.
