    Cancelling The Enchanted Carousel, restarting as a new story

    Hi all!

    I've already made the announcement in other places, so I figured I might as well do it here, too, to cement the change.

    Hiatus on Story + Thoughts

    Hi all!

    Just letting you know this story will be hiatus'd for a bit.

    Not because I'm not writing anymore, but because life got in the way so I wasn't able to finish it all in a fugue state as I wanted, and the reality is right now... I am not in the headspace necessary to write it.

    Though, since I'm not doing that, I do at least want to talk about it.

    Okay, here we go.

    As some folks may know or have seen, I'm currently working on a story that is very important to me. It is still not finished, and will likely be updating in the next following days because I want to write it and get it done in one go.

    Quick Note re: contacting me!

    Hi all!

    I hope you're doing well.

    I've been meaning to say this for a while, but keep forgetting because my life has been a dumpster fire for the past year, but I did post a fic today so now's a good time as any!

    Re-uploaded Someone To Hold On To as a complete oneshot

    Hello!

    Just wanted to get ahead of any confusion for anyone following this story to say that I ended up doing a speedrun of the entire thing and then deleted the old chapters and just posted the entire complete story as a new chapter.

    That was it.

    I hope you have been well!

BOOM BABY!

ESimulations
Twilight Sparkle regrets botching her romantic confession to Rarity. As a joke, Rarity proposes a simple and elegant solution: break up and try it again. She just wasn't prepared for Twilight to agree to it.

That took forever.

Simulations is a fic I’ve been working off and on for about six months, so it’s really nice to see it finally posted.

SPOILERS UNDER THE BREAK

The audio reading was also a lot of fun, as my live readings usually are in the patreon server. I try to do them a lot in my server because so much of my writing is amplified by having tone, and it’s also been really beneficial for people since they can listen in while they do other things. We actually had a live reading a week ago or so, for one of the BG!AU stories where a voice actor friend of mine appeared near the end to do Rarity’s lines and the ensuing chat freak out was amazing lmao

Anyway, yes!

I think generally one of my favorite parts of this fic is the fact that I was able to go ham with Rarity, and it still made sense in context. A huge part of how I interpret Rarity and Twilight’s relationship has always been the dynamic present in this fic. Rarity is dramatic, Twilight points out she’s being dramatic but still playfully goes along with it, etc etc

It was also the first time I wrote a proposal which makes sense because I prefer writing scenarios with established relationships. The “will they, won’t they” and crushing parts of a relationship are great and all sure, but I feel like there’s so much to be had from, like, the actual fully-formed relationship.

For this fic I also INDULGED MYSELF in Twilight being the suave one, which is how I headcanon she’d be in a relationship once she’s been in it for several years. So many of the RariTwi fics I read (and I’m guilty of) have Twilight as the flustered mess and Rarity as the suave one so I really enjoy doing the opposite.

Depending on how the live-reading goes along, I might start actually providing more of these outside of the patreon server, but we’ll see.

Anyway, thank y’all for reading. I hope it was fun!

End Simulation.

Saw the fic post earlier, I've got to check it out!
I thought I had read the prequel, but must have gotten it confused with another fic.
Hope you're doing good!

Honestly, there really are too many "how they got together" stories and not enough "we're in a relationship now what happens next" stories with most of the latter being porn
