Teach Me Timely Seasonal Holiday Stories · 8:04am Dec 23rd, 2017
Last year, I teased a sequel to "Teach Me Goodness," in which Cheerilee spends her first Hearth's Warming away from home. I never actually wrote it, so, this year, I've decided to hop back on that pony, and ride it across the finish line.
So, here, we have a story about our gal Cheerilee, who's living the single life of a doctoral student in Fillydelphia, getting hit by that ol' seasonal depression. Who should come along but Starlight Glimmyglam and the Great and Powerful Trixie, stumbling into her life full of good intentions, ready to pull her out of the doldrums and give her a reason to quit drinking.
Except, being the two worst ponies in the world, they kinda don't make things go according to plan. But their hearts are in the right place, at least.
Toss Cheerilee into this screencap, and you've essentially got a visual summary for the entire story.
Tonally, I think this story might be out of place, compared to the two which preceded it, but it means something to me, and is honestly about on the same level as "TMG," as far as personal significance is concerned. It's got something for everyone, too: crying, hugging, Cheerilee, poop jokes, implied CheeriMac, an ambiguous relationship between our two favorite magicians, and copious references to the rest of my horse-canon (spot 'em all, get a free fly swatter. ).
I'll talk more about it when all's said and done; for now, though, I urge my many, many followers, well-wishers, and familiars to read it post-haste. I know I haven't been around much these past few months, so consider this an extended apology for all that.
