Rhino


T

This story is a sequel to Crossroads of Possibility


A young unicorn colt and a changeling nymph have bonded as friends. To them, everything seems fine with the world as they play. They don't put too much though into what might happen if others find them, why would they? They aren't doing anything wrong. They're just hanging out and having fun. However, some don't see the situation so simply.

What if someone does see them? With one race of secrecy and the other thinking the first is just a myth, can such a friendship exist? The children's answer to that seems clear. Everyone else though... not so much.


This is one of two sequels to my standalone fic Crossroads of Possibility that shows things continuing directly from the prequel, asking how would life change for both main characters if they were to be together for an extended amount of time.

A sort of Alternate Universe version of my other story, An Alternate Path and an actual Alternate Universe to Studies in Equinity. Familiar characters can be seen in a different environment, and environment shapes characters just as much as they do themselves. This is the cute sequel as opposed to the mature one.

A sort of fun idea had by myself and my co-writer, enigmaMystere, in which we hope to use what we learned from our previous tale to improve on it in all ways we can, while still sort of light-heartedly letting the characters play out to see where things go.

Did they sleep together? Without her wearing pants? At this point in the relationship, especially taking thier age into account, I'm going ot have to say: WHAT THE BUCK???!!! :twilightoops:

They're young, they don't care about that aspect of it. Plus, girls sleep in overly large shirts all the time.

I found this very cute for some reason. It warmed my hearts :yay: :heart::heart:

My gosh, can you imagine if he took another swig of that? We don't think even innocence could stop them then!
I kinda wish I had friends to play make believe with, maybe a little. Sure we have RP now, but it's not quite the same is it?
I wonder if we'll see the "was it real or just an affect of the spell?" complex? Gel certainly seems to be benefiting from his exposure...
Keep going! ;)

Already special someponies, eh? I wonder if that's going to make it awkward when his parents find out?
Keep going! ;)

We're a little curious about Gel 's lack of social knowledge, she's obviously out before proper training has occurred, but why is that? Somehow I don't remember that par being explained.,.
Keep going! ;)t

4000244 It's less explained and more shown. She's obviously way too young to be in the military yet, and changeling social interactions might not be the same as those of ponies.

4000721 right, all the more reason for us to wonder. It's like, "what could have possibly happened that Gel ended up where she is" kinda thing. The setup feels like something fairly bad happened, like, 'Gel wanted to see how infiltrators did their job and got lost from the group before they found out', or maybe darker, 'Gel was the only survivor after a rival ling group attacked their convoy' (though I don't see a dark tag, so this is unlikely).

He was reading 'Mossflower', wasn't he?

4002327 Internet points for this one! He wins! I can't believe someone got that.

This is really adorable :pinkiehappy:

My experience with fiction is telling me that a younger sibling might be in the cards for Rhino.

Of course he would sample the "milk",just to make sure it didn't spoil or something!
Still, it seems Gel will soon be able to feed off Rhino anyways, right?
This chapter made us crave smores, and we don't even like marshmallows all that much...
Keep going! ;)

4231579 In a strictly dietary sense, at the moment she is using him as a supplement to her love supply. With him around supplying the intense friendship, she doesn't need to drink nearly as much of the love, though still a little.

4232393 yes, it did seem like she's getting a bit off him, even if its subconscious rather than intentional.

4232733 Yes, she's not exactly old enough to know about active harvesting yet.

4232772 it makes me wonder how he'll react when he finds out. I predict Gel will take it harder than he will....

4233363 Personally, I don't see what's wrong with it. She just gets a health benefit from beings friends with him.

4233442 it's not that it's wrong, and they will probably never think about it this way, but the philosophy is: are you just doing it to eat or do you really love me?

4236698 Fair enough, common enough question for those who come into a relationship with a changeling and have doubts about its legitimacy.

4236716. Yes, we're pretty sure that scenario is on the "standard scenes any changeling-fic must have" list.; p

4236731 And yet I somehow avoid it. :P

4236752 yes, the mark of a good writer to avoid falling into stereotypes or flipping them on their heads.

"He was traveling to have his sword fixed and get reinforcements so he could save the others from the evil overlord."

Was his name Martin?

excellent story so far and also the first ive seen with zero dislikes so congrats, have some more likes

4425199 Thank you very much! New chapter soon.

Gosh dang this fic is adorable.

...

WORK ON 'SOMETHING NEW'!

~Crystalline Electrostatic~

I got to say that I love this story. It's the sweetest and most emotive of the RhinoXGel stories.

5050424 Yep, those kids and their budding feelings that they don't know what to do with. It's adorable.

Absolutely love this chapter. The interaction between Gel and Rhino is very intimate for children their age, but it's also very loving and filled with curiosity. It made me laugh watching those two unknowingly doing intimate acts that their counterparts do in Study of Equinity but with childish curiosity and wonder. This is one of the sweetest romantic fics I've ever read.

Gotta love the innocent naiveté of children.

I'm so glad you guys liked it! This was the part I delayed for I don't know how long, wondering if it was too much even though it felt natural.

5266355
It felt perfectly natural and wasn't rushed at all. I can easily see both characters doing this, and it was tooth-achingly sweet/d'awww inducing. I couldn't help but smile and chuckle at their actions.

this is borderline foalcone, but thankfully you haven't crossed that line yet and <i can still love this story.

5266878 Don't worry, I can promise there will NEVER be foalcon.

5267098 Thanks. That's quite relieving.

0.0, I'm not sure children should be doing that.

That was fun. Now they're all clean! Achievement get!
It's cool to know they're at the stage where touching those areas feels "weird but nice", but not yet "oh my gosh this is awesome!".
Keep going! ;)

I will most likely die of a D'aawwwww attack while reading this...

nice! an update :heart:
what about other fics? will they be updated too? :twilightblush:

I love it when this story is updated. Rhino and Gel are very adorable here.

D'awwww inducing must find hole...teeth rotting....
