Write more when you get the chance. I have a feeling that this story will be great. And I don't need the force to tell me that.
I like this story. Get the next chapter up soon please. I can't wait to read it. I hope this has a romance tag.
When will u update? I want to read MORE!
4033741 I post the newest chapter every Friday! At least thats my usual deadline and will only not post if life gets in the way. I'm very happy you all like my stories!
Well duuuhhh your story is great. I can't wait to see what happens!!!!
4034178 No problem. Your stories are awesome! Can't wait to read the new chapter then!
i love that your going on in this story, keep up the great work
Nice job with this chapter. I have to say that Celestia was fair. Great job with another cliff hanger. I can't wait for the next chapter.
DANG YOUR CLIFFHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to die if your putting lots of cliffhangers. Dont get me wrong though, I love your story and I can't wait for the next...keep writing!!!
Boring? This is the opposite of boring
4048079 I'm sorry about the cliffhangers. I really am, but you must realize that I only have one (1) week to write these, and I get writers block when writing these sometimes. Also if I didn't put cliffhangers in, there would really be no interest to continue reading. It's like, if you read the Hunger Games, and they already told you what was going to happen in Catching Fire and Mockingjay, there would be no purpose in reading them. Again, I'm sorry that cliffhangers are killing you guys, but it's something I have to do.

Don't worry about it. I so get that u have 2 put cliffhangers. It actually makes ur story my favorite on this site.
4048395 I can relate. I get writers block more often than I'd like to admit. I like to counter this by writing a set number of chapters in a project before posting the story and releasing the chapters once a week.
That said, I do love me a good Flashlight fic and your's definitely qualifies as good from what I've read.
This is a great story I love it keep making more of it
So far so good. Did see one mistake.
You'll be and old stallion and still try to jump into action
That first and needs the d off.
You'll be an old stallion and still try to jump into action
Keep up the great work!
I liked the chapter. Keep up the good work
4082252 Well that's embarrassing
. I changed it, thanks for telling me. This is why I need a pre-reader! 
4082740 No problem.
You are the BEST!
I love this story!
This story actually inspired my story which I will be releasing shortly! 
It is another FlashXTwilight! Keep posting new chapters!! 
Ba baj! (LOL)

4082777 Thanks. That makes me feel really good to know that I contributed to a new writer. I can't wait to read your story!
You're, as in, you are. Your is a posessive word.
Should be an in both cases.
there should be a subject there, else how would we know who remembered what?
Sympathy for Flash, I popped my leg out about a month ago and I'm still not entirely fine, damn pony magic making everything better.
Great job with this chapter. I can't wait for the next one.
4083854 Thanks for the error findings, I'll fix them. I do type very fast, and errors do sometimes slip by my sense of hitting the wrong key (yes sometimes I can 'sense' when I hit the wrong key) or my sight. I do know that "your" is possessive and that the sentence should have used "you're" and also when "a" and "an" should be used. I do appreciate you telling about these errors.
I TRULY LOVED IT! How could anyone hate this piece of art!
4082875 Thank You! This story is just so amazing!
I'll be sure to notify you when the first chapter is released!

Only problem I have is I'm pretty sure Celestia can't just go tear up the official verdict; you can't just do that Celestia, princess or no it's tyrannical to tear up a verdict in light of new evidence without consent of the jury...
Or maybe I'm incredibly wrong with my ideas on how courts work.
I really like your chapter.
i was scared that Flash still wouldn't get his job back and i actually gave a sigh of relief when he did.
Dangit, 2nd time today!
I foresee big trouble.
NO!
CLIFFHANGER!! MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!
KEEP WRITING!
! And fast..... I depend on it! 
Soooooo drama!
Ba bay!
Yeah. Nice job. Some incriminating evidence and the guard rallying to support Flash. Nice job. I can't wait for the next one.
I dont know why I feel like breaking cliffhangers today!
Can't say I saw that coming. Keep it up!
Speaking of sufficient amount of words in it, you forgot to type a few in this chapter.
Surely you meant: "Protect the captain at all costs!"
Also, you made a grammar mistake, too.
Don't you mean, "smartest?"
Beyond that, I can't see why a faction called the Red Fang would want to kill Flash. Either it's someone who hates his guts or there's a lottery out there just for a laugh and they pulled his name out of it.
First kiss aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Nice chapter. I like how now Flash has to face reality about a possible relationship with Twilight. I can't wait for the next chapter. Best of luck.
4147974 Actually, I did mean "Protect at all costs!" That wasn't a mistake.
Thanks for the other grammar error, it's fixed now.
Love the story! Would love it if you maybe could help me sometime with editing on my story : A Guard And His Princess That would be awesome!
'Till next chapter!
/Shimmering Sunset
Keep writing
I say keep the violence, but add romance on the double. Great chapter. Just add the romance back into this story. And yes I love love stories. Good chapter by the way.
So Flash is Ezio?
The Plot Thickens!
Great chapter. Well, good to know the traitors have been found out. Best of luck writing. I can't wait for the next chapter.
I can do cover art if you like. Though I usually do black and white, I can try my hand at color. I am kind of busy with my own project but I can see what I can do.
I
this chapter.
I can't wait for the next. I hope Twilight's fine.
When is the next chapter going to be out
4220191 Chapters are every Friday! Only time I will delay them is if absolute necessary (family emergency, etc.)
Marriage party!!!! Can't wait for the sequel!!!
I was up with it until the part about kingfish being his sister... I dunno, maybe if there was some foreshadowing or something, but it just kind of sprung from nowhere...
But hey, you managed to hold me until the last chapter! And climaxes are one of the hardest things to write (fights scenes dramatic reveals and all) so I'll still give this story a plus.
