Love has many faces. Parents and children, brothers and sisters, lovers, friends, all of them share unique bonds that hold them together. These bonds may be simple or complicated, and sometimes we find them in unexpected places. The bonds that hold Equestria together are no different.
Takes place sometime between "Sleepless in Ponyville" and "Magical Mystery Cure."

Quite adorable so far.
All of my yes. ^_^ Love the idea and wish I had the time to read it. I'm workin' on a side story to the story of mine that you reviewed for me a little while ago. Thanks again. ^_^
2392812 Thanks! This was kind of an experiment for me, since I've never written any kind of romance in the MLP universe before.
2393779 No prob! Hope your new story goes well.

It's going just fine. Only four more views until it reaches 100, which will be another milestone since this fic isn't a clop or troll fic.
2393817 Nice!
I didn't realize you posted it already. Just happened to look at my feed and there it was. Thanks for the shoutout, and it was my pleasure helping!
2393856 It was my pleasure to have you on board.

Damn you...

Ahh, the story is really starting to come to life now. Initially, I was rather disappointed and thought that the writing was a little bland. Except for those Celestia-Luna scenes before each chapter; those seemed to be interesting and felt as if they were getting somewhere. I still think adding a few similes to the main scenes would spice things up, though. And it'll be nice to leave a line after each paragraph.
Man, do I ever hate shipping. The slightest hint of shipping drives me to flip tables. And yet, no tables were flipped during the reading of this fic. No, I rather enjoyed what I read. It helps that the story is more than just romance, those parts were a delight. But even the dating was tolerable. Shocking, truly.
2799020 I'm glad this story didn't lead to wanton property destruction.
This was an entertaining story. Though... a bit anticlimactic, it was entertaining at the least and managed to hold my interest, so it has therefore earned a like from me.
2802508 Thanks! I guess it wasn't supposed to have a climax in the usual sense. It's different from what I usually write, so I'm glad people like it.
Interesting concept. Even if not all chapters worked (Fluttershy's was very dull), the story had a very nice thematic "wholeness" that made the whole thing pop, with the whole idea of the various facets of love. Even the little blurbs in the beginning of the chapters, that I found to be out of place, kinda paid off by the end.
I specially liked how you didn't try to give Pinkie the easy way out of everything being suddenly fine. All in all, I'm not that into shipping, but this was a very nice story.
2914334 Thanks! I've always felt Fluttershy's chapter was the weakest, too, but I haven't had the chance to improve it yet. But I might. Eventually.
The quote next to "Before" should be next to "later." instead.
2999134 Whoops. Nice catch!
I like the feeling of misdirection in this story, that is, you really don't know what's going to happen next. That's hard to pull off on shorter stories without it feeling jumbled or messy. Kudos!
3231431 Thanks! That's something I really worked on in this one, so I'm glad it turned out well.
Aw, little Angel feels sorry for being a selfish butthole.
