Simp Wars Ep.3: Gift of the Pegasi by Flashgen · 8:26pm Dec 25th, 2020
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Even in these taxing times, Hearth's Warming has come around once again. And as a participant of the Jinglemas 2020 event, I had requested a story: one that had either Twilight or Rainbow Dash, preferably Slice of Life or Romance.
Yesterday I got my story. And, let me be honest, I couldn't have asked for a better Jinglemas story.
I present to you, Gift of the Pegasi by Flashgen.
During my one year and four months' stay on Fimfiction, I came across a lot of romance stories, and a lot of shipping along with it. So far I've encountered AppleDash, TwiDash, FlutterDash, RariDash, PinkieDash, RariJack, SunTwi, TwiLuna, the list goes on. And while I'm not particularly biased against any ship—good character development and detailed depiction of emotion are enough to satisfy me as a reader of a romance story—I do have a preferred ship.
And, well, I got that ship as a gift.
That would have been enough of a present to make me happy. But nope, Flashgen went ahead and absolutely nailed every single aspect of the story. I won't go too much into details because of spoilers, but the characterization of Twilight and Rainbow was flawless. The conflict and plot development was also S-rank, and the story's resolution was done in a very natural manner. In short, I couldn't have possibly gotten a better Jinglemas gift than this.
Shoutout once again to Flashgen, who wrote this story for me! This was one of the best, if not the best TwiDash fic I've ever read, Flash! Thanks for putting your time and effort into writing such a good story, thank you for writing it, and wish you a Merry Christmas! Cheers!
