This story provides Snips and Snails a great backstory, interesting personalities, an entertaining and very convincing first person narrator character voice, and quite a fun and often funny plot.

Edited to add: In view of the second seven chapters that were added to the story after the first seven, this story still has many good qualities, but some of the additions are not exactly 'fun' in the most direct sense. I still recommend it as an interesting AU, though.

When a story that is imho good and more fun as a story and better written than most fimfiction.net stories just doesn't fit the demographic and gets an amazingly low number of reads...(at least so far)

imho, this story does some lovely things with music, friendship, realizations, and personal growth.

Y’all have one of those moments where you know there’s something you should have did but didn’t and you only remember it a day later and then wonder how you forgot in the first place?

Which is an appropriate enough segue into our next Not-A-Contest story:
