Comic: "Prince Charming" · 12:53am Nov 15th, 2015
Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:
As you may recall, artist dSana/Stainless Key and I have been working on comics together! Several said last time that you were willing to take a "Descendant story, no matter what the form!" Well, I'm holding you to that.
I imagine that, upon seeing the comic and what it's about you'd have been able to guess that I developed the narrative even if my name wasn't on it. I hope that you enjoy the piece. Once you're on her page you'll have to click on the image to enlarge it, as all glorious 8.2MB is too much for DeviantArt to handle...
... and despite Key's attempt to resize it for me, far, far too large for FIMFiction's limit. Instead, click the title below to be taken to the comic on Key's DeviantArt page. Leave her a comment there and me one here, too!
Expect more to follow!
Stay Awesome,
-Desc

I don't know... I'll have to ask Key.
Interesting
That certainly was sweet.
Is this just a single one-shot, or will it have a sequel/follow-up?
Glad to see the two of you cracking ahead. Nice job, the both of you.
Pleasant thing to find just at that late point in the night where you are too weary to do anything useful, but still too awake to be able to rest.

I'm glad you think so, Mix.

There will be more comics that explore their relationship, but this is a "one shot" as far as this exact scenario goes. I'm glad you found it sweet, Sig!
3542798
Heh! I'm sitting here working on the next one. I can't get it pared down to less than forty panels!
Thanks for the support, Aotrs!
Always good to see creative stuff from you, TD.

Thank you, Zap. I'm glad I'm still able to provide stuff worth reading/viewing.
This is a point that proves that MLP is a cartoon, by the way. Twilight Sparkle is a brilliant young unmarried mare, who has *nopony* lined up to date her. Unless she has a dating history much like Cheerilee, you would think her five friends would be trying to set her up on a regular basis.
Applejack: Come out from under that table, you coward!
Carmel: No! You're going to make me go out on a date with her again, aren't you?
Applejack: Maybe.
Carmel: No! I'll stay under here until next week if I have to!
Applejack: Now come on, sugarcube. Last time weren't so bad. The two of you went out for dinner--
Carmel: She ate everything on the menu! She's an alicorn now! It's like feeding a furnace!
Applejack: And ye' went dancing with her.
Carmel: She nearly broke my leg when the music started. I thought she was having an epileptic fit!
Applejack: It won't be that bad this time, I promise. I packed you two a picnic lunch and you can sit out under the stars all night.

(later)
Luna: Sister, there is a strange stallion accosting young Princess Twilight. Do not worry, though. I dropped one of my stars upon him.
...If it's too large for DeviantArt and Fimfiction to handle, I'm afraid it will also be too much for my phone. Unfortunately, I'm not sure when I might get a chance to view it.
You keep on keeping on, you master of the complex relationship that is Twilight and Spike.
Very sweet! Nice work, you two.
This was very sweet and beautiful The pictures added that extra touch, although it would have easy to see the scene through your words. I know I've said this before but I wish every young person would see this and then they would understand why parents and other people care so much. Great work and good luck to both of you in your future endeavors!
OB
Descendant, amazing writing as always. It makes me wish you can be a writer for DHX, so we get a wonderful Spike episode.
Whoa! I was following her before I learned this! That makes this even more awesome! Its like finding peanut butter in chocolate!
I don't have a DeviantArt account, so I hope it's okay that I say "that was adorable" over here.
"Oh, Spike. Don't be silly. I'm an immortal alicorn princess now, I think, or will eventually. See, we don't require 'Prince Charmings' to keep a kingdom afloat, since in all likelyhood a half-breed alicorn foal wouldn't inherent immortality. Thus outliving the 'heir' to the throne and making the whole point of having a Prince Charming to produce an heir to maintain a monarchy rather pointless."
"Uh, Twi_"
"BUT I see your point. Even if I have or will gain immortality at some point, the whole uncertainty as if and when is still there. I suppose given all the dangers we could use one or two backups to produce a proper bloodline. Thanks, Spike! I'll be sure to look into this 'Prince Charming' business a little more thought. For Equestria."

"Wait, Spike what are you_ AAAAHHH~" *THUD* "Oww... SPIKE!?"
"And don't come back until you've made some coltfriends!"
*slams door shut*
"What just happened?"
"Hi, Twi_"
"Go away, Gallop-a-Gus!"
*whimper*
Ooo, this was a great read. I'll be looking forward to anymore collabs between you and Stainless Key.
3543048 In my headcanon Twilight just loves using air quotes whenever possible. A lot. Also, I loved the comic. Most adorable.
Truly touching. Thank you for it.

Pinkie probably has dossiers on a dozen different stallions who meet Twilight's criteria. She's currently locked in a debate with Rarity over whether or not it's a good idea to introduce all twelve of them at the same time.
Oh wow, this comic was nice, sweet, and adorable. Always nice to see Spike and Twilight's relationship explored a bit more.
I needed happy tears tonight, thank you
3543113 (resists urge to plug unfinished changeling fic) I'll admit to a certain amount of 'crafting' the poor stallion when I wrote my Twilight shipfic, but I never thought of twelve candidates without speed dating.
That was lovely.
Its a good comic and its very heartwarming too. Though i have thing for this kind of stuff.

(yeah im a bit of romantic soul too, poke me
3542782
I did today
Glad to see ya back in action.
YES! Will we also see Spike and the girls looked into like Rarity and Flutters?
Oh the feels
Congrats on being featured on Equestria Daily, you two! Great work!
That was a cute slice of life comic. I can definitely tell that The Decendant wrote the story.
3542826
I died when I read Luna's part!
Now that was cute
Very heartwarming and dsana's art style is so adorable
3542871
Whenever you do, I'd love to hear your opinion, Game.
3542900
That I will, Cyn... that I will.
3542935
Thank you, Skywriter. I'm glad that you could enjoy it.
3542950
I see your attempt to lure me back into fic writing, Olden!
(It's very much appreciated, b.t.w)
I also agree with and support your comment about people caring about what happens in the lives of those they love. Well said.
3542958
That's two people who feel that way!
3542964
Key and I are two great tastes that go great together!
3543004
Just fine o do so and most appreciated!
3543060
As will I, Odd... and I don't think you have to wait too long.
3543064
I'm glad that you found it adorable, Tel.
3543113
I'm glad that you found it touch, Fan, and I hope to bring you more soon with Key's help.
3543130
I agree! I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Ly.
3543210
I'm very glad that I could supply you with them, Paper.
