Better Late Than Never · 7:33pm Nov 18th, 2015
I hate catching a cold. But, sometimes, when you do, you need a few WAFFs to go along with the tea, chicken soup and Mucinex. And that's where a nice redemption-fic comes in.
Bookish Delight is by no means unknown, and her new story, Better Late Than Never is a perfect example of a nice redemption fic that leaves you feeling good about things.
Now, I personally like the deleted ending where Twilight actually goes back to Crystal Prep with new friends rather than the (to me) slightly-forced ending where she was left on her own without a ride back to go home, so she had to rely on public transit again she joins the Sunset Team. And I'll be glad to discuss that sometime, but not now, because this is not about me.
Anyway, this little piece is sweet and well-written, it has nice voices for all characters and again, gives you the WAFFs you need in rainy days. Definitely worth taking a look at it.
Edit: I went full-screen. Never go full-screen. There's no turning back.
May something adorable snuggle your face!
I loved part of that alternate ending--the part where the CPA students mingle with the CHS students and Indigo Says That Thing She Says.
As for the rest... wow was it nice to think about and I liked it on its own, but my gut just wouldn't let me stop thinking that it was too much too soon given all six girls' progressions in that movie. (All five being buddy-buds with Twi right at the end after dicking her over for possibly years? At least give them, I don't know... a week to think things over first?
) Given the choice between that and an ending that felt mildly forced in the name of finishing the parallel to FiMPt1+2 they'd been running with all movie, I do believe the writers made the correct call. Even so, this story was a subconscious attempt to reconcile the two--especially near the end, lol.
Thanks for the shoutout! I certainly didn't see this coming but it was a very nice thing to wake up to.
Get better soon! Vitamin C--learn it, love it. (Disclaimer: I'm, a writer, not a physican, my advice is personal rather than professional, and I assume no liability. ^_^)
Damn you. I wanted to make that "Never go full screen" joke, but you beat me to it.
It definitely is sweet, and I quite like how it presents the Shadowbolts.
I loathe catching colds as well. I hope you feel better soon.
Also, Bookish Delight's new story is cute, amazing, and definitely worth looking at.
I'm pressing F11, but nothing is happening.
D pls
Hope you feel better soon Wanderer. Thanks again for checking up with me by the way.
