    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!

HELLO

Do you know what day is today?

IT IS my birthday RARITWI DAY.

The correct way of celebrating if you want to,,, is by posting your favorite RariTwi pics/fics/content in a comment below (while crediting/sourcing properly, pls)!

I’ll start with a wonderful drawing by ArcticWaters.

GODSPEED in your deeply appreciated gesture in making me forget I am ever older every day and it’s depressing.

MWA!

Just remember, the older you get, the more RariTwi you get to experience.

Figured we could use some Rarity defending Twi's honor, or at least defending Twi. Plus, who can resist a mare in shining armor?

Happy Bday Mono.

TThe Perfect Present
Rarity's birthday is coming up, and obviously, Twilight isn't stressed out about this. Nope, not one bit. Not in the slightest.

Now that is a present.

You know, I don't think I ever actually shared this one because the whole thing was delayed like a year and a half? But this is a picture I actually commissioned for that one Raritwi one-shot I wrote for your contest.

Happy Birthday, Mono!

Apparently it's this artist's birthday, too! Lookit that! All the RariTwi you can get! :raritystarry::twilightsmile:

Present's in the works. I'll have it up tomorrow morning.

Maybe these aren't my moooost favorite ones, but they're special to me. This lovely art by Funk is the cover of The Last Train Home by Mono. It's special because this very story was the first RariTwi fic I've read (even before The Enchanted Library, yes xD) and this is the reason why I fell in love with this shipping and also found this sweet and nice community.

"Uhm, Rarity, don't you think you're a little sick to be working on your romance stories?"
"Darling! I -- *cough* -- resent the suggestion! Just because I am stuck in bed for a few quick moments, or weeks, does not mean I can escape my duties to our lesbian horse princess!"
"Our le--"
*kisses*

Happy birthday Raritwi-Mom

I think this is a pretty good one. With a fairly original concept that you don't see often.

If I posted all of my favorites then we'd be here all day, and time spent writing comments is time that could be spent writing more RariTwi, so I'll keep this brief.

Fics: posting Monofics is probably redundant, but I have to say that Crimson Lips and TEK are the two best fics I've ever read, and I still put on the reading of Simulations from time to time and listen to it while I game.

I do want to share the two fics that got me into RariTw, and which I still consider some of my favourite fics in the fandom:

TThe Shadow of a Doubt
Nights in Canterlot are for sharing secrets. Ten years have passed, and the six friends have begun to walk their own paths. A burdened princess meets a friendly face among the crowds.
Ardensfax · 20k words  ·  436  8 · 6k views
TThe Diamond in the Stars
After a devastating year, Rarity decides to get away from it all and spend some time with her friend Twilight. As their friendship deepens, the two turn to rely on each other with problems both internal and external.
Distaff Pope · 84k words  ·  217  11 · 3.9k views

And since the embedding system hides M-fic, I'll also share my favourite RariTwi erotica (Cynewulf's "The Sickness Unto Death"):

[Adult story embed hidden]

I will also refrain from linking every fic in the RariTwi bomb, but suffice to say that it was a wonderful event that gave us more good RariTwi fics than I can count.

Art: I think my all-time favourite RariTwi piece is still this Parent Trap AU pic from Earthsong:

derpicdn.net/img/view/2020/2/23/2282063.jpg

This Into the RariVerse piece from ArcticWaters also takes a top spot (just look at how flustered Twilight is, and how each version of Rarity feels unique and true to their source materials):

derpicdn.net/img/view/2020/4/14/2322720.png

Finally, in lieu of dumping every single image by lilfunkman, I'll just pick these two that are my desktop wallpapers:

derpicdn.net/img/view/2020/3/24/2305229.jpg derpicdn.net/img/view/2020/1/31/2261685.jpg

Other RariTwi content: I love my TEL shirt to death, and the copy of Mono-Logues on my shelf, and I hope to get more RariTwi swag in the future.

Anyways happy birthday, and thanks for all the great OTP content.

Happy Birthday Mono!

I mean, there's this fic, which is an old favorite, but I also really liked the follow up/prequel. Of course the author wrote also this, which, let's be honest, I'm not saying anything new or unique by saying it's great, but I'd be remiss if I left it out of the conversation.

Oh, there are these fics called The Enchanted Library and The Enchanted Kingdom, maybe you've heard of them? :raritywink:
And some adorable RariTwi pictures by LolliponyArt:

And I, myself, have drawn a Rarilight picture (you've already seen it). It's not the best, but it's something.
