...so you get a tentative favorite until somepony dies or has one of their appendages ripped off or something

Good start though :yay:

fantastic start but I have to agree with 3415892 in so much as this getting a tentative favorite because of the gore tag :fluttershyouch:

can't wait to see more of this

I vote for an appendage being ripped off personally

You have captured my attention
DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME

Added to Read Later.

Description note:

But sometimes what is forbidden is what somepony needs, and so the solar goddess's sisters have set off to bring the two unusual lovers together, not know the events they are setting into motion with one simple act.

Should probably be "not knowing".

This, I like this. I don't normally read gore stories - the worst I read was Fallout Equestria and it's kinda tame - but I AM willing to try.

Well,another story I'm going to track.

Interesting...

3418111>>3416022>>3415892
Well to tell truth, the only reason why I put in the gore tag is because their is going to be some ritual sacrifices latter in the fic, so be prepared for that.

I'm more concerned about whether or not this is a big "fuck you" to faust (from any of the daughters really, althought Celestia a bit less so because she has, at the very least, infactualation.) After all, right now basically Luna and Cadence's (Cadenza's?) goal seems to more or less be, "HELL YEAH, GET HER LAID BECAUSE WE CAN!"

They view it as more of a "she is being denied something that would be good for her" kind of thing, they are in no way doing this as a fuck you to their mother, even though she will see it that way.

3418325

(Note that I don't expect you to spill the details)

Then it really depends on who it is that is sacrificed... If it's someone I like (ie any of the mane 6 [which you seem to love to do that sort of thing to]) then... :pinkiesick: Otherwise I probably could deal with it

3418875
Well I could say, but then that would be spoilers.

So...

Considering your previous works, should we be expecting Bonniecorn popping up at any point?

3419037
:trixieshiftleft:No, no Bonniecorn will be in this fic, and I erased her from the last one so Bonnie be no where in my stories any more.

3419329

Really? Why? I thought Bonnie was brilliant, just a bit poorly executed...

3421066
eh, felt out of place, the only one I really wanted in there originally was Faust, so the others we kind of just unintended filler.

Alright, I saw the cover art and was like "Oh man I've been waiting for a fic based on that for aaaaaaaaages".

So I read it, and here's what I think:

It's very rough. Very.

The pacing is bad, for one. In 1000 or so words, we have all this stuff dumped on our heads, when it would have served the story better to focus on building the world and setting up the characters before delving into the romance.

I also didn't approve of the overly telly writing and the clunky dialogue; it was hard to get drawn in when you have gems like this:

“And it’s not just her, the young high priestess is the same way, and before you ask yes I know the difference between the love one holds for their goddess and the love one hold for somepony special and believe me, she sees her as somepony special as well as her goddess.”

Ick.

Still, the general concept is very interesting, and the universe could be very captivating depending on how you handle it later on. I'll be watching.

Does anyone know the artist behind the cover art?


EDIT:
Think I found it.

i hope this is not death please :fluttercry:

I hope this is continued :)

Shining ascended? So this is a more Greecian style pantheon where one can ascend if the gods feel like being uncharacteristically generous?

Or am I missing something? Regardless, good to see this still exists.

<insert comment congratulate an update here :)>
“Since you came of age my Twilight,”
Sorry for the nitpick, but this line makes me feel like she had feelings before Twilight was of age and acknowledged them once it was more appropriate. Which is some sketchy timing on falling in love.

5638492
Yes, it is like Greek myth, though even more spotty, for Faust is not a generous goddess.

5639575
Well she is a goddess, no doubt weirder things have happened. Plus, wouldn't you fall in love with a pony who was literally sacrificing parts of her orgasms to you so that you could feel a pleasure denied you?

5639776 So far all she's done is deny her daughter (I can't remember how they're related if at all) a relationship; until she starts banging everything that moves and disappointing her husband/wife in every possible way she's still better than Zeus.

5639798
Well seeing as how Faust has no husband or wife to cheat on, we cant really do that, and the lady is too damb chaste to fuck around with mortals. However, she activity apposes mortals gaining any higher unless she deems them worthy, and even views Twilight's friends, the elements of harmony, as thieves in regards to how they gained their powers.

I only got to the end of the first one before I had to speak.

You are in desperate need of an editor, and I think your page break image link broke.

I can't help with the latter, but there are groups right here on FiMFiction for authors who need an editor.

No bet, it's practically a given.
