[Genderswap]

Prince Tempo and Gleaming Shield didn't get exactly what they expected when they got married. Flowers and roses are nowhere to be found in the torrent that is their daily life together. One fiasco follows another and they find themselves apart more and more often. Having concluded the latest trouble in the Crystal Empire, neither unicorn nor alicorn wished for another problem. It's unfortunate that Queen Oscura was such a paranoid ruler, as an overlooked trap ends with the royal couple in another impossible scenario. As time stands still, a disillusioned prince begins to wonder if escape is even desirable.

A short adventure that teaches the two a little bit about each other.

NOTES
1. Timeline is roughly between The Crystal Empire and Just for Sidekicks episodes.
2. You may wish to get familiar with the genderswapped names if you are not already. Several variations exist but there is a handy list of the more common ones at MLPGenderswap on deviantART.
3. I occasionally make use of fanon in my fics. However, I do NOT adhere to it.
4. Alternate Universe only because it's genderswap. As fimfiction.net lacks this category, it ends up as AU.

Like it so far. Have a nice set up and delivery into the story :twilightsmile:

Not bad, definitely. It really could use some more attention. Playing out on the differences in the genders is also fun.

Man, whoever didn't read this story doesn't know what they're missing out on, I love this so much so far! We really do need more genderbent stories along with Shining/Cadence ones!

Awww, I really like Gleaming, she reminds me of Snow White from Once Upon A Time. Ey, nonetheless, I love how you're portraying these two! Onward to the next chapter!

Thank you very much. In my experience, the genderbent stories do tend to get less attention. Perhaps because their "niche"? I've been hearing a lot about Once Upon a Time but haven't watched it myself yet. Perhaps I should...:twilightsheepish:

Saying goes that when your stuck on a mountain
you try to go up, you try to go down
you turn around to face a wall so you can face yourself
realizing you've made a mista-a-ake

:pinkiehappy: Yes! I've been looking for a story like this!

Very enjoyable read. The characters felt a little dry in their characterization at times, but overall this was quite good.

Doesn't look like it's gotten as much attention as it should, though.

Really like this. It might seem weird but SA and Cadence are my favorite characters to see genderbent, precisely because of how their gender reversal affects their dynamic and I think you really did a good job showing that here. My one complaint might be that the chapters seemed to go by too fast or that they weren't long enough.

This was very cute. It's nice to see the royal couple functioning as a happy marriage instead of the usual bad ideas with them often littering this site.

Oscura?
That name sounds familiar...
