now I'm getting stares because I'm sitting here in the middle of school giggling like a moron...

I am glad to be responsible for that. :3
663633 i really love this story. I've re-read it three times now. your updates are frequent, I just wish there were more of them. keep up the good work
Awkward moments abound!
RariAppleDash!
663629 Not as bad as reading a Discworld book while watching "Hotel Rwanda".
So much inter-relationshipping!
663646
That is the name of the game.

Try listening to a Tenacious D album during a tense political discussion about the Armenian genocide.

Yus! (also, dat avatar)
Before you know it we'll have an 8-way orgy on our hooves before the story's over, what with how our lovely heroines are so open-minded and warm towards each other.
I'd approve.
That aside it was another lovely chapter. It's always so adorable to see Flusteredshy!
I also had a small question: this story will have at least 100 chapters, right? The thought of it ending is frankly depressing.
663710
A reader after my own heart, in all ways.
This story will have... I have no clue how many chapters. There's no end in sight, I have stuff planned for a LONG time, so barring IRL tragedies we're gonna keep chugging along for... a while. A LONG while.
663633
I highly enjoyed this chapter though it felt much shorter than your usual stuff.
That is not a complaint, you are an incredibly prolific writer, you're churning these chapters out like an absolute MACHINE. A PLOT DEVICE if you will. It's just that this one felt...Short.
Ended on a high note though, so it was very pleasing in that regard.
I do like the idea that we both shared a lot of thoughts on AJ and Dash fighting dirty but in different ways. It highly amuses me that they're so aggressively...Horny. (Though that would make Rarity magic bondage Horny Squared I guess?)
Ideas for awesomeness:
Pinkie Pie is okay with open relationships? I so totally see her getting kinky with Tubs of Jelly guy. Maybe on a mattress made of donut.
I also suspect that Rarity might have...Dabbled in creating her own "Private" wardrobe for herself and Applejack. Just because your a dominatrix doesn't mean you can't look stunning in leather, darling, and black is always the new black after all! Black and blue~
AND NOW I END WITH A FRIENDSHIP REPORT
My Love Celestia:
Rarity is in a somewhat open relationship. Fluttershy and I are dating you two. We are in a hotub together. Alone. We are hot and we aren't even in the sauna yet...Dripping...Steaming...Sweating...
How fast can you come?
Yours, Twilight
My dearest Twilight
I don't know, dear, but I have a feeling we're about to find out how fast I can come very, very soon. Lun-
Oh dear, it seems The Princess of the Night has left me behind already.
If you start without me I'm afraid I'll have to punish you Twilight ~
Celestia
Celestia
If it's all the same to you, could you punish me anyway? I've been a naughty, naughty foal...Rarity might have even brought some, er, study aids with her ~
Twili-Oh, it seems Luna came equipped with all her royal regalia this time. Rarity seems to be...
And Fluttershy isn't exactly having reason to be jealous because she's...
WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?!
Twilight
Twi- *Scribbled quickly, as if the writer weren't stopping from, say, a 50kmp/h sprint, to write this*
...A thousand years of comfort eating royal cake has not helped my figure at all...

Well, it was only three scenes, although in terms of word count it was no shorter than usual.
As for Rarity's private wardrobe... Give it a chapter or two. Somepony might be coming to visit... :3
/reads friendship report.
PFFFT. I love that people are writing micro-fic about my fic. At this rate, we're going to enter some kind of Mobius Strip of recursive ficcing. Mobius Strippers, by the way, are cyclically erotic.
663720
That is amazing news. Keep the lols coming, this story is freaking HILARIOUS.
Also, I can see Pinkie being exactly that open minded about relationships. It's very.... Pinkieish. If that's a word.
Brilliant, but I still want to see that appledash scene asap. The world demands more sexy!
*"And, well, it... Uugh, it was so frustrating. But in a good way! She... she kept teasing me."
Rarity looked at her in shock, although despite looking affronted, she was clearly... approving? It was a strange mix of emotions in her expression, one that Fluttershy couldn’t quite place.
"In public? Darling, that..."
"No, not that kind of teasing. That, uh, that was later. And in public."*
that underlined part was/is killing me, i can't stop picturing it in my head and laughing!
This thing's been featured around 3 times already.
Good reason too, cause' you're like the bestest author ever.
663701 Heil die Fuhrershy!
663755
Me too~! Glad to see it's a fan-enjoyed line. :3
663762
4, if we count the original "When I first published it" one. The way the "Refeature" slots up top works is that any story popular enough to have been featured under the old system will be featured every time it updates.
663764
Pegasus power?
Huzzah! Appledash !
MOOOAAAARRRRRRRRRR
663629
You too? Always choose the worst time to read these things.
I go back to work (after a two week break) and the first thing I see in my mailbox is this.
Needless to say, this is a good day so far. =3

663943 You don't know my school. I go to school in the ghetto. I get all these stairs from these wiggers, because the actual ghetto kids don't give a fuck, and... actually they are quite comical, so maybe it isn't all bad.
663982
It is now canon that, after the first time Celestia hears about the "Twily" nickname, the two of them enter an ever-escalating battle of horrible nicknames for one another. You glorious being.
663992
To date, I myself haven't managed to top 'T-wizzle' but I am open to suggestions!
(Minus points to Celestia for even thinking of using 'your hunk'a hunk'a burning love'.)
i have only this to say take twilight back to that shop with tia it is awsome to see her reaction to say the least.
I'm not too fond of open relationship, but during the threesome Rarity said No kissing. And that I kinda like, I hope AJ and Dash wont mess things up with their beloveds !
Anyway, great chapter! I love the retelling of the events, it's always fun to see the other ponies' reactions.
664025
Actually, Rarity simply had a problem initiating the kiss herself. They're all very new to this business. As for open relationship stuff... Well, given that a lot of my personal experience is there, I suppose you might be worried about the future.
664019
Or maybe the shop will come to THEM.
Damn this sounds good. Can't wait to start reading it...
664038 Well, I must admit I am very curious now, this story has a lot of interesting stuff going on. I hope it aaall works out!

I fell out of my chair... And it hurt. But I was laughing. So. Damn. Hard.
Thank you, Ariamaki, for presenting non-monogamous relationships in what is looking to be a healthy and positive way. It is very difficult to find that in fiction without it being either purely topical as a handy wanking kink (not that one can really complain about that if the fiction in question is all purely topical for wank purposes, but...) or worse, as something ultimately empty and somehow less fulfilling than sanctified and blessed monogamy, the One True Relationship Type.
I have been greatly enjoying this series from early on, and It is always a good day when I am informed of a new chapter going up. I'm happy to read that you have no plans to stop anytime soon. Thanks again for yet another superb and entertaining chapter, even if you have a delightfully nasty habit of leaving us hanging and waiting intently for the next.
Tease!!!!!!
I've had this developing opinion for a good while, but with the development between Rainbow and Applejack here, I really need to get it out of my head by putting it in a comment. At first it was just Twilight and Fluttershy going after the Princesses, and I liked that - that's what drew me in, after all! And then it was Applejack and Rarity (I think, the intermissions with RD/PP didn't have any contextual link to the other events, so I can't remember if that actually came first... but whichever one came first, it works either way, so pointless parenthetical thought is pointless), and I was like "Oh, okay, there's going to be other ships. That's nice." And then came Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie (I think, again), and I couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit at the fact that this is one of those stories, that just has to ship all of the mane 6, mostly with eachother. But I still didn't say anything, because the writing was good and interesting and fun, and my gripe was minor in the face of all of that. But now you're having Rainbow Dash and Applejack lusting for eachother, with both of their partners just so having happened to have already spoken with both of them about being okay with seeing other ponies so long as they come back... it seems like this story is just heading towards a great big orgy. Love seems less special when it happens at the drop of a dime, and even less special than that when the love isn't great enough to overcome lust. Most people, especially women (there have actually been studies), have a hard time seperating the physical act of sex with the emotional response we identify as love. Love and sex go hand in hand. Because of this, it cheapens the idea of love in my mind to have someone that's in a supposedly loving and caring relationship want to have sex with someone else enough to actually act on it. But this is fiction, and pornographic fiction at that, so I think I could have just rolled with it, if it was more realistic - not neatly tied off with a fluffy cute li'l bow by going "It's okay because their partners already gave them permission off-screen, so they don't have to feel guilty or worry about getting caught or whatever"... I understand from one of your previous comments that you don't like drama, but avoiding it retroactively just makes me blegch. I don't know, it's probably my own fault for trying to read this as purely a romance story instead of a gratuitous sex story. (And I don't mean that as an insult, there's absolutely nothing wrong with gratuitous amounts of sex)
I know I kind'a rambled a bit without focus, and I think I might've repeated myself at some point?, but I was kind'a still figuring out why it unsettled me as I was typing. I know these are just my own personal thoughts, I'm not ridiculous enough to want you to go back and change these things, lol. I wouldn't mind the slightest bit if you completely ignored this comment, I just really wanted to get it off my chest. I'm really hoping you don't take offense to any of that, I really do enjoy the story. I actually couldn't decide whether or not to actually post my ramble or just delete it. I'm gonna' hit that Add Comment button anyways though, and hope I don't get a notification of a comment telling me off.
As for the rest, their reactions to eachother's stories while in the spa made it totally worth reading a recap. xD Though is it really necessary to spread a recap across this many chapters? It's like you're intentionally torturing us, waiting for the royals' announcement.
664626
Thank you, very very much. I am currently in an open relationship with a very wonderful gentleman, and we had been previously in an open triad with a kind girl. I do my best to represent the relationships the way I understand them: Loving, supportive, and normal. Thank you, again, for being one of the most supportive and impressive readers out there, not to mention having one of my favorite names, period, on this site. You and TAFYFSI.
664739
I fully understand if that is an issue for you, but see my previous statement above-- This is based in part on my personal real experiences with that kind of relationship, and how it does NOT always have to be an issue of guilt or separation. I'm sorry to hear it is not to your tastes, but... Part of why I am writing it is because of conceptions and reactions like that. It's not about making excuses. It's not about "permission". It's about these kinds of relationships, and how they work out. And just because things are drama-free now does not mean they will necessarily stay that way- Things change. And as for it being, quote "neatly tied off with a fluffy cute li'l bow"? When I said this is based, in part, on my actual relationships, I meant it-- Including that part. There's nothing neat about it- It's something that both partners have to understand, and if they feel that it's going to come up, it's best to discuss it early.
I am more than open to discussing this and other topics in the future- I'd love to get a response to this one.
As for spreading out the recap... I will admit, part of it is so that we can get a nice zoomed out view of what everypony else is doing, but another part of it is so that the big announcement itself can (optimally) land on a nice iconic chapter number. Maybe something with a 0 at the end, at this rate.
664699
Damn straight.
663629 You're reading a clopfic in school!? Wait, I would probably also do that if my school had wifi.
663764
Heil!

It's really hard to argue with "it's based on personal experiences where it happened this way", lol. One of the bigger issues in the scene, for me at least, was that it was mentioned in the middle of the scene that what was happening had already been discussed off-screen some unidentified period of time before the scene. The entire thing just came out of nowhere from the reader's perspective. I don't think it would've bothered me nearly so much if there were some build-up to it, which having that discussion between Applejack and Rarity in a previous chapter would have been perfect for.
And waiting for a certain chapter number to write the next part of the plot seems rather arbitrary, but I'm enjoying Rarity's and eachother's reactions to their stories, so it's not that bad, lol.
665103
I'm not waiting for a number arbitrarily- It's just turning out that way in the planning, so I am rolling with it.
As for it not coming up earlier, well... There wasn't really TIME to have it discussed before now. Everything was happening too quickly, and did not involve them. I personally think using it as a flashback was better for pacing purposes, and to show that we don't really know how long ago it was.
665000
...Is that pre-existing, or did my COMMENT THREAD just get fanart?
Polyamory!
AppleDash is such a sexy pairing, too. Just the sheer amount of spirit, of lust for life those two have. To me, love (and healthy lust) is centered around mutual respect. And those two are steeped in it.
664864
Your understanding of such relationships is like my own. So long as everyone involved is clear and accepting of what it is, an open relationship is as loving, close, fulfilling and yes, as normal as any other. The persons involved are no less stable and healthy, mentally and emotionally, than monogamous people (they [we] are no more stable and healthy either, but that is purely the human condition and has little to do with social relationships of any particular sort).
More on the chapter itself, I didn't mention in my first comment how startlingly similar to my own the relationship between Applejack and Rainbow dash (a lover you can spar with? How perfectly wonderful a thing to have, I tell you!) as well as between Applejack and Rarity (it's so often the soft, cute ones who like to truss us up like a spider with their prey, is it not?) seems. That simply makes me love this story all the more. Thank you again for the excellent entertainment.
And finally, as to the name. Let us all be thankful for old friends who lack the money to fill out their Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard army with rather pricey GW miniatures, and so choose rank upon rank of cheap plastic Celts all painted up in stereotypical blue warpaint. Whatever name he chose for his custom Imp Guard army was quickly forgotten as we, his loyal and loving friends, dubbed it the "Woad Bearer Legion".
665338
1- In re the army: PFFFT, very nice.
2- In re the relationships: Agreed on all counts. :3
3- In re this discussion: You seem like precisely the kind of person I'd love to chat with. Hit me up by PM and we'll arrange something, Steam or GTalk or Skype or AIM or w/e.
663735
A burlesque dancer, a pip,
Named Virginia could peel in a strip,
But she read science fiction,
And died of constriction,
Attempting a Mobëus Strip.
665517
Said it before.
I'll say it again.
I love my goddamn readers.
And the spa conversations continue. It's a good thing that Aloe and Lotus are discrete with their clients' conversations, because the paparazzi and tabloids would love to get a hint of just some of what is being discussed in the hot tub today. I'm still rather surprised that Fluttershy's managing to stay conscious through this discussion, though it sounds like the concept that there are readily available synthetic copies of her secret places circulating just about blew the fuse there. You've got a good rhythm going on as she and Twilight take turns exchanging successive portions of their weekend activities, I think it will be interesting to see how things progress in the next few sections, as they are both getting into territory that is intensely personal in detail now. So far, it's a pretty good job, considering that you are playing a balancing act between having them discuss things in the level of detail that would be expected for this conversation, and doing a sketch job of the conversation since the readers already know all the minutia of what they are discussing. I think you're hitting just about the right level so far.
Now, as far as the Applejack/Rainbow Dash competition and their (somewhat) surprise revelations about their respective partners allowing for an open relationship. I'd have to say that in the context of what we know about Equestria in general, I really don't see such an item as being all that shocking. Remember, we are dealing with what started off as a herd animal at some point in the distant past. I would be surprised if plural relationships weren't the norm there. I congratulate you on sticking to that option as a reasonable possibility for the ponies. It doesn't matter that for better than half the human race that sort of sharing just breaks our personal limits, you just have to accept that you're writing ponies, not humans in a pony skin. The only real issue I have with things as you're laying them out is that Applejack's statement about her relationship with Rarity seems to be a bit at odds with Rarity's "no kissing" rule she laid out in the instructional session. I think that maybe slipping in little additional explanation might clear that up fairly easily, in one place or another.
You're continuing to give us a quality read, I'll be looking forward to the next installment.
665592
I'm not sure why everyone thinks she was making a hard and fast rule there-- She specifically said she was having issues there, because of her personal upbringing, and how she would hate to steal Twilight's first kiss. They then agreed to "skip that part of the lesson". That's all.
As for the rest, I am ALWAYS glad to see your comments, because they really inform me of what's working, what isn't, and how to keep on track.
