LOL. That's all I'm gonna say, because there's nothing I can say that wasn't already said when this was on EQD.

For the record: FIRST...only because it's 1:50 AM.

read it on EQD, glad to see it here 5/5

Hahaha, a little crazy, but enjoyable. I liked it, keep up the great work!

Thanks! Anything about Lyra should, IMO, be at least a little strange and silly.

Man, I loved this fic.

This was really fun. Thanks for writing it!

Also, I assume you're aware of this? Because it's pretty awesome, and you definitely should be if you're not.

Edit: Never mind, it seems you are. I found you commenting on it like 14 pages in. Feel free to ignore me.

Ignore you? Never! :

More seriously, I'm gobsmacked, thrilled and excited that this fic's inspired other people. It's one of the best things about this fandom: the sheer, often recursive, creativity!

>>309848309848

I couldn't agree more! I only became a brony about two weeks ago, and I've only been slowly indoctrinating myself into this culture. I keep seeing things like this which amaze me. A background pony sitting in a strange way inspires a flood of artwork. A piece of that artworks inspires a great short story. This short story inspires a beautiful comic. It's incredible, and I can't believe it took me so long to see what all the fuss was about.

Thank you for the reply, and again, thank you for the wonderful story.

That was great. I'm curious, where did the whole "Lyra running on her hind legs" come from? Is it because of the way she sits?

>>325101325101

Pretty much. In a scene in Dragonshy, she was seen sitting on a bench in a very un-ponylike position. Ever since then, the fandom has taken that and expanded it into sort of a running premise that ranges from her liking to sit and stand strangely, all the way up to her obsessing with or wanting to be human. It's basically the fandom having run amok with an admittedly adorable background character.

This fic is adorable. I love how you wrote this all in a true slice-of-life context, its just brilliant. But I got to ask tho, will you be making more fics about BonBon and Lyra? The way you write it makes them look unpredictably lively!

Original idea. The story feels a bit rushed, still well written!

I remember this one from deviantart! How's the fan comic and/or video coming? ANy more from it? This is honestly one of my favorite like... top seven or so.

Thanks! As far as I know, the artist's working, slowly, on the next section of the comic.

Count me in as another one of your fans from dA~ This was an absolute blast to read in the WTG.

And in case people want to see the fan comic based on this story (made by DarrianMH on deviantArt), here it is!

Part One and Part Two

Utterly darling! I love the view of Lyra and bon-bon's relationship too since so many fics seem to focus on the strife and fights rather than the simple pleasure they must get from each other.

I know I'm massively late to the party, but I just want to express how much I love this story. This, to me, is the essence of the LyraBon ship. Lyra is odd (not human-obsessed, just weird), and Bon Bon doesn't quite understand her, but she offers her love and support regardless.

>>16294211629421

I'm glad you enjoyed this. Lyra and Bon-Bon are the most loveable almost-canonical couple ever!

And yeah, I don't really like the human-obsession thing, since it's such an obvious meta-element to introduce into the setting. There's plenty of room for Lyra to be exuberant and a bit weird otherwise, too. :)

Wait... Honey? Sweet...? I LOVE YOU!? o.o Oh god they're shipped?

Love the story.

>>17127631712763

At this point, I'm halfway ready to defend Lyra and Bon-Bon as a canonical couple.

Fair enough, likely as not it'll always be fanonical though.

>>17132981713298

Oh, sure, I really don't think they'll have a lesbian couple even as background characters, but with the way the animators keep putting Lyra and Bon-Bon together, the idea has taken a life of its own.

I shouldn't nit pick the obvious difference between fanon and canon but I couldn't resist.

Still this is actually the first time I've ever read that ship so it took me by surprise. I honestly don't know why fans are so obsessed with them myself other then I suppose the typical human obsession with romancing and the acts involved. What do I know though I keep to myself in my sanctum for decades at a time anyway.
