The Worth of Words

A sequel of sorts to device heretic's Just Words, because I was dissatisfied with the ending, even if it was sort of poetic justice. Read it first to get a sense for where this is coming from. Or just assume stuff, that's your call. (I really think you should read it first, though). Next paragraph is quick summary of the inspiration (the other story) and after that is this story's description.

Twilight finds out that she's adopted, from her brother, while he's drunk. Hurt, she goes to her parents; when they admit the truth of the matter she runs off to see Celestia. After a long talk, Celestia emphasizes the value of one's chosen family (or those that chose to be their family), placing that head of the value of biological relations.

A week later, Celestia struggles with herself; For the first time in years, she really wants to tell Twilight and thinks she deserves to know.  Nevertheless, the situation weighs heavily on her. Her past, the possibility of political fallout and disgrace, and Twilight's potential reaction to her callous dismissal of the value of biological relations weigh heavily on her. Still, if Twilight dies, never having known, it would be a crushing blow and an undeserved slight to her former lover.

Two weeks... wow. D:

Chapter 4 has unfortunately been delayed, sitting on the back burner as it is. For anyone who cares, it's about 2/3 done (I've been aiming for a 1500 word minimum per chapter). I apologize if anyone had been looking forward to it... With luck I will be able to churn out the last 400-500 words in the next couple days and get that up on here. Probably not the most exciting chapter, but it's kinda breaking new ground in a way. I haven't written much of anything with Twilight Sparkle so far, at least not in this context.

Aawwww you're missing out, while the film isn't extraordinary by any sense, it isn't missing anything, it's quite the good watch. Every November 5th I give it a watch, even while deployed. I can't say if it's loyal to the novel, but it seemed close-ish. Highly recommended!

Well, thanks for favoriting Abhorsen, not sure if it wont end up in the hiatus pile here soon but eh :/

Wow. That's kinda of insane. I have to actually watch it all the way through someday. I must confess that I've only seen a teensy part of the beginning and never actually seen the whole speech in the movie.

Hah, I can do the entire introduction scene from the film quite well, I'll guiltily admit to owning the entire graphic novel, but I haven't finished it yet.  :twilightoops:

Myself of course. What exactly are you asking?

I like Garth Nix's books: Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, etc. It seems like it could become an interesting crossover.

I'm going to assume you liked V for Vendetta based on the rambling alliteration in your user description box.
