    ...I finally managed to set this account up properly.

    Quick introductions: I'm 23, been a fan since 2010 / 11, looking to dust off my writing skills because the world is a complex place and I'd like to comprehend a portion of it someday.

    Now to dust off, (hopefully) finish, and polish those WIPs sitting in my Google Docs and Notes App (you can't stop me), and I'm set.

You've got a very nice style of prose. I can feel the musicality permeating the story, because you've got Counting Stars as a constant through line, you've got Synesthesia and Perfect Pitch, you begin and end on a C#, you've got the constant description of notes and keys (Sci-Twi's a G#m7, I'm assuming you knew that already), and I think the title's inspired by Signed, Sealed Delivered (I'm Yours), but I could be wrong. Not only that, but you've got a great grasp on contrasts -- "they've already made out and I've only just made amends" feels like a line ripped out of a Bond film, in a sincere sort of way, it's a nice play on language.

Speaking of Rem, you handled that whole dynamic well. I love that they're similar in temperament and personality to EQG 1 Sunset Shimmer, but that it's for an incredibly different reason. I also love that Rem and Sci-Twi had a history prior (the flashback was short and sweet, but it added a lot of depth to Rem for me), and that Rem isn't some terrible secret Twilight had to kinda hide away, they just drifted apart. It raises a lot of implications about how much Sci-Twi has kinda conflated the two in her head -- that box made it to Rem's house for a reason. Or did she think they were the same person this whole time? Either way, it speaks to Twilight's intelligence that she near-immediately figures out what's going on.

More of a tangent, but you've managed the impossible in writing a misunderstanding / miscommunication story where I don't want to bash either character over the head, because they're not being unrealistically dumb. I suppose that's more to do with Rem's vent session than anything -- it feels like Rem's still holding stuff back in spite of letting everything out, and that feels realistic.

Essentially, I want to see more of this world and unpack the history, because it just feels like there's a lot of stories waiting to be told. It's all around, a great story.

Thanks for favoriting Signed, Sealed, Sent! Could I poke around and ask why?
