Viola snorted. "Quite the opposite. I can't stand it." The older mare gave a sly little grin. "Do you want to know the real reason?"
Eager to share in a conspiracy, the little filly bounced in place, nodding vigorously.
Leaning in, Viola whispered into her daughter's ear, "Because your father knows how to be bold when I can't."
Octavia tilted her head. "But... why does that mean you love him?"
"Because he balances me out, dear heart." Viola smiled. "I can balance him out when he's gone to far, and he can pull me out when I've not gone far enough. And if that means we have to fight sometimes - well, at the end of the day, it's worth it. For both of us."
That was an excellent chapter. Thank you for continuing this, I'm very much enjoying the way you're handling the aftermath as something much more nuanced than 'and they lived happily ever after'.
Wow. Really impressive for an unedited one-off thing! While it makes me sad there might not be more, I'd always rather the creator be happy with their work and take it in a direction of their choosing rather than bending to the will of their fans and sacrificing their own creative vision in the process. By all the up votes, people sure liked this! You did a great job.
Edit: fixed comment and happy to see a new chapter!
So this is continuing... I mean, it better. Chapter 2 would have been a weird stopping point, but it could have been. Chapter 3... Now you've got me on the line. Really excellent writing. The first 2 chapters earned a fav, but for what it's worth, this one earns you a follower.
I love finding fics that turn out to be infinitely more than I initially expect from them. A true masterpiece has been found here, I eagerly look forward to see the rest of this stories' path.
Shit....now THAT was beautiful advice.....damn, that was very, very impressive. Go after her Octavia, love her, LOVE HER!!!!!! Has to be so tragic when your heart goes one way and your mind another, huh?
so........are there any plans to continue the story or not? Because you have made something wonderful here and I would hate to see it stop here. Still, your life so I won't complain if you don't.
Oh wow, that last bit about the quandary.. That was good stuff. Like, 'wow' level good
Loving this fic!
That dialogue...
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS *rolls around in feelings*
Definitely better than the University Days mom. Damn I'm loving this story.

Excellent dialogue with Octavia and her mom. Sounds like something out of a movie.

Internal monologue helped Octavia some.
