... and it's going on day 4 in the box of shame.
Today at work I was being productive and busy, working on a Robinson 44, when a pilot just randomly walked into the hangar, and gave me some beer and whiskey shooters because "they had been on the plane for a bit too long" and left.
I'm at my dad's, just loaded up the wood burner because the furnace is still fucked.
Lets do this.

So, before we get into the actual story, lets talk a little about how it came to be.
Grading Scale:
A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)
B- (a good episode with numerous flaws but still rewatchable)
Back in September 2022, I went through a terrible experience in Discord. It was an interaction that I had with a talented artist from the NiGHTS fandom who turned out to be a shitty person. I happen to have screenshots of what transpired, though I obscured their username.
It's been a long week, but finally as you can see, my first story is here. Hooray!
It's a translation work, but I am the author and the translator. It was written in September 2019. It's been two years, how time flies.
Edit: It feels really shameless to ask, but could you please check it out, at least the description? Please.

This was originally going to be in chapter 2, and I’d written it to completion, but my proofreader, the ever-talented Setokaiva, told me it was unnecessary when combined with the other scenes, and I saw his point. So, I took it out and edited bits and pieces of it into the remaining scenes.
Still, I couldn’t bring myself to delete the thing fully from my notes, so, as a way to make up a bit for the delays with this story, I’d like to share this deleted scene with you.

First and foremost, I hope that Trixie's refusal to use pronouns wasn't too annoying. When pre-reading, Admiral Biscuit suggested changing some to 'the unicorn' and 'the magician' but he was also uncertain if that would actually help. In the end, I decided that it wouldn't alleviate the situation enough to make it worthwhile.
I’m happy to announce that the second A Tale of Two Suns side story, and sequel to Swimming Lessons, will be posted within the next few days or so.
It’s going to be a multi-chapter work, and I won’t post it as quickly as I did Swimming Lessons. I’m not even totally done with it. But I’ve also got a good deal of it finished already, so I think I’m good as far as timing.
So, everyone, brace yourselves, for soon, you shall experience the madness that is...The Great Tabloid Disaster!
One YouTube channel I follow is Great Big Story. They do micro documentaries: 2-5 minute videos about various topics, slickly edited and narrated. YouTube recommended one of their videos to me, and I couldn't help but notice some similarities to one of my fics. I suppose Luna would be proud of them?

This mutated from an episode review to an Applejack character study. Even more remarkable is that 5 minutes in, I was sure I was going to HAAAATE "Going To Seed". I figured there was only two ways this would play out:
This here's a story that was a flopped attempt to write based on a writing prompt! I don't even remember what the prompt was or where it came from!
I fear for the next story to review.
The mare stopped abruptly just outside the door before springing ahead, bursting into (very random) song.
