Have a tiny excerpt.
“I don’t know, Adagio. But Princess Twilight said that Celestia...Princess Celestia...asked how I was doing. She didn’t say so in as many words, but I think that means the Princess has forgiven me at least some. To be honest, I worry about that sometimes. It keeps me up some nights. I did really wrong by the Princess. A younger me might not see a way to forgive somepony for what I did, but me now?” Sunset reached forward and put her hand on Adagio’s knee. “I think I can see a way now.”
Slowly, Adagio let go of her death grip on her arms, one hand slipping down to join Sunset’s. It rested there for a moment, but when Sunset lifted her hand Adagio intertwined their fingers together. They sat there like that, in the sunshine, the only sounds around them coming from the machinery that kept the school cool in the summer heat. She squeezed Sunset’s hand in her own, the smile on her face reaching her eyes when she looked back up. Then her brows knit. The smile faltered and confusion set into Adagio’s smooth features. Her curls bobbed when she sat back and looked quickly down at their hands and back up to Sunset’s face.
“Are...are we still flirting? Or is this a friendship thing...moment...thing?” Adagio lifted one shoulder in a half-shrug. “I’m honestly confused right now.”
I do! I do!
Stay classy you degenerates.

God, I haven't read El Goonish Shive in literally a decade. Is that still going? ???
Something... Something... Crime of missionary position under the covers... Something...

Yup. I think we've finally made it to the next week in comic time. (Only mild exaggeration).

I don't remember jack squat about the details of El Goonish Shive, but if the pacing is anything like I recall, then yeah, not honestly surprised if the in-universe time line has only moved a few months.
Not like I'm unfamiliar with that...
*looks at a couple 50K plus fics that cover only a day or two of time*

You know, I would hope, after keeping up the comic all this time that David Shive's writing and art had improved. I took a look at the last couple of strips, and from what I remember from way back, it has gotten a lot smoother. The style looks intack too, so props to him there.
As far as me being neat...eh...that's debatable. And I was going to argue the the unwholesome point...but as I have sat here and thought about it, I don't think that even my older clop fics would count as 'unwholesome'. Especially in the context of other comparable content available on this site. But! The teasing! I do that! But sometimes I give you the payoff too.
After extensive amounts of teasing...
That's bad and you should feel bad.

The secret is I always feel bad.
