    For Derpy Hooves, it seems like every day gets worse than before.  Her whole life she has been seen as nothing but a rolling disaster.  She's seen as a clueless, quirky, messed up pony, simply due to her walleyed disability.  How can she possibly hope to erase the stereotypes she was assigned?  For Derpy, it's impossible.

    Impossible, that is, until she chances into a certain purple unicorn.  Will this meeting be yet another failure, or could it be the opportunity she's been looking for, and how could that opportunity affect her life?

    Rated M for sexual content in later chapters.

    ***UPDATE NOTE***  Revisions and additional content are in the works for some rough spots or things that just weren't given enough detail or background as they deserved.  Please be patient while I work on trying to improve on the story.

    I'd like to thank slip_stitch for proofreading for me, Ardensfax for giving me the inspiration to try my hand at writing, and Perilian for the massive amount of encouragement that keeps me motivated enough to work my hardest at writing.

    >>1629459   Yep, it is indeed a TwiDerpy ship...  I didn't think I had seen many, and somehow I just liked the idea, so... here we go!

    >>1629354>>1629297  Sorry for the confusion on the repost on the first 2 chapters; I realized after posting that there is no 'edit' on chapters (at least that I've found) after you put them up... The only solution I could come up with to make them easier to follow for readers was to repost them entirely and remove the old blocky versions.   My apologies if that bothered anybody.

    Apologies said on my faux pas, here is chapter 3, and I hope everybody enjoys it.  :twilightblush:

    OK. You got me interested. So far this looks like a really good TwiDerpy fic.:trixieshiftleft:

    Too bad that there hasn't been that many good fic about these two, since most of them are bit... well... hasty. They don't take their time if you know what I mean.

    But, looking forward how this story is going to develop :moustache:

    Thanks everybody for the positive comments!  To be honest I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out as this is the first story I've ever written, but it's getting more and more fun to write!  Only got about 5 hours of sleep last night before I woke up with anticipation of what was going to be happening in the next chapters.  I have to say it's exciting to have people become invested in the characters like this. :rainbowwild:

    Hard to believe I started this intending for it to be relatively short; it's taken off far more than I ever thought it would. :pinkiehappy:

    Here's hoping I can keep up with updates with relative frequency; I'll be hiding at home from the mobs on Black Friday so maybe I can get some extra work in that day.

    Once again, thanks everybody for the comments, favorites, and likes!  It keeps me motivated knowing that people enjoy it.  :heart:

    I really like how this story is going. I read literally zero clop stories for this show. I believe this is the 4th I've attempted. If I read a description and take that someone is just have sex just for the hell of it it completely turns me away from the story. I know I'm a minority because of the amount of clop that is constantly featured. Anyway I gave this story a shot because it has a lot of background and emotion between ponies, not just random sex. Romance Reports is the best "clop fic" I've read, but I think stories like that and this are just mature shipping. As long as this doesn't turn in to all out clopping every chapter like TAW's work, I'll continue reading.

    >>1694538 There's going to be clop material, but it's not planned to be anywhere near the focus.  It is meant to follow along with the story and serve to further relationships (and of course be fun as well), but yeah, not gonna be there just for the sake of turning it into a giant clopfest.   :twilightsheepish:  Hope it keeps the story enjoyable without turning you away, and thanks for the favorite!

    only thing I don't like about this is that you portray a brand new couple as having sex immediately. and that's mostly from exasperation from most other clop writers doing as much. to be fair, though . . . this is some pretty damn adorable cloppage.

    >>1705268 My apologies on the sudden elevation in the relationship; I saw the problem from the start but the only idea I got was either string it out over the course of years, or have them form a close emotional bond.  As the storyline doesn't take years I went with the latter. Hopefully when all is finished the timing and placement will make more sense; but for now, yep, super speedy escalation.  :facehoof:

    I do take solace in how understanding Dash and AJ were for Derpy, you've definitely ,ade an emotional bond between the reader and Derpy's bully problems, etcetera. I must say I am very intrigued to how well your story telling goes, I will be watching this closely, and considerably taking mental notes on how well it is displayed, I have not noticed a single grammatical error (and I notice a lot of them in Shipping fics)! Thank you for creating a lucious storyline, something that reminded Derpy of me when I was younger, and still witness today (societal problems etc).

    >>1732724  I am very glad I have been able to make it possible for readers to relate to the story and the character relationships.  That's what I was striving for and what made me change my mind from making this a short one-shot to a full-blown story; I couldn't leave the idea I had short without sacrificing emotion or content.  

    I can't take credit for the grammatical content, that honor goes to slip_stitch, who has been kind enough to tolerate both proofreading my story and putting up with me for years IRL.  :heart:

    Regardless, I am happy to hear that I have succeeded in describing the characters in a way that allows readers to become emotionally invested in them.  :pinkiehappy:

    I can appreciate the heartfelt tenderness of the two mares, and Twilights understanding of how much anguish Derpy had to go through after making a new mare friend she thought she was never capable of befriending, or dating. I have become rather attached to Derpy (or Ditzy, I need a name that doesn't counteract her damned life, a real name. Not something that was pulled out of some bullys nut sack of insults) as her character really exemplifies the rules of compassion from other ponies, you can't help but feel sorrow and eventful sadness over her. A truly remarkable story.

    You can really reach people with your characters, oh fine Author. Keep it up! :derpytongue2:

    The characterization of the others and particularly Twilight is great too. E.g.  I really like Twilights train ride back home and what she think about her, Derpy and how anypony react.

    Of course the other things in your tale honest genius. How you work with emotions, well timed appearance of anypony/dragon and a nice mix of mature and canon theme.

    And the best thing: it's not over yet! :pinkiehappy:

    This made my night. I was pretty glad when Derpy's eyes didn't get fixed.

    I mean, I don't hate Derpy, and I do want them to be fixed, but I like how you brought tragedy before happiness.

    Most authors I know don't take that step, and make their stories shorter than they could be.

    This chapter really does well in showing beauty in tragedy. It also really makes a much larger emotional investment between the characters and the readers. Well done.

    Well, Applejack certainly deflated kinda quick. Too bad somepony nice and stupid :rainbowderp: will have it in her empty head that it's somepony else's fault :derpyderp2: that the spell got cast wrong. :flutterrage::flutterrage:

    As for the chapter itself, we need a word for really good but really sad.

    The process you used for this story, almost certainly ripped a few emotions out of me. I'm of course insinuating that the story, really brought a tear to my eye after the process of the spell failing. Truly a gut wrenching moment. I do like how you showed how someone who has been blinded reacts to the feel of another person/pony touching them then skittishly jump. I am like that a good 98% of the time, and it doesn't contain itself to just foreign feelings, loud noises, pretty much anything scares me.

    Anyway, your story truly has the emotional feeling other shipping fics lack, I commend you honourably for unlocking your imaginative potential in this story. I look forward to the next chapter, good day Remedy. :twilightsmile:
