Just another writer that aims to entertain. Nothing to see here, move along. Though yes, I am very feminist. Don't like it? That's nice.

A week before her wedding, Cadance receives a letter from one of her exes for a rendezvous. Cadance agrees to meet her, hoping to catch up with her old friend, but the meeting takes a turn for the worst.
A big thank you to my friend Jackie for the cover art, and for helping to develop this idea. A special thank you for the people that pre-read this and helped me improve it. Here's hoping someone else is entertained.

A few downvotes right out of the gate?
Well ain't that rude.
4018987
I agree, how rude indeed.
good story btw.
4018987 4019031
And not surprised in the least, really. This is the sort of story that some people won't give a first chance 
Thanks.
as it's advertised, anyway.Well, nothing wrong with the story itself in my opinion. Though I have to admit, I would be very interested in a romance between Cadance and, well, Lily Blossom. And the "turn for the worst" the description mentions is really something unique. I could say more, but, you know, spoilers.
Disclaimer: I personally do not care much for F/M romance, and even then, the Shining Armor/Cadance relationship in particular (here present in the background because of canon) is something I personally find about as interesting as a beige wall. So after the pretty damn interesting first part between Cadance and Lily, the second half left me wanting more of the first part, mainly because, even in the unique circumstances, the knowledge of what it will lead to (the wedding) takes me out of the experience a bit. But this is just my personal taste and has nothing to do with the quality of the story in itself.
Since it is tagged as incomplete, I am awaiting the rest.
Tried to keep spoilers out of it. By the way, how do the spoiler tags work on this site? There are no buttons for in on the little comment writey interface, but I've seen people use them. Stomp, stomp!
Well, this turned out to be a lot different than I expected. And I rather enjoyed that.
Turned out to be a rather interesting take on what exactly went on in "A Canterlot Wedding". Pretty good. Pretty good. 
4019140
And heh, honestly almost took that as a personal challenge to see if I could write Shining/Cadance well. 
Though I'll refrain from that; the Season of Cadance is gonna be allllll about the sapphism. 
I might consider writing a sequel to this, though; already have one in mind. 
Glad you liked it!
As for the spoiler thing... just put the world "spoiler" between a pair of brackets like the other text commands.
4019155
Try to be different with all of my stories, but this one is... tricky. Since I have to advertise it like this so it doesn't get spoilerific. 
Glad you took a chance on it, and that you enjoyed it!
I remember this. I like it. Course I like Cadence(and Shining) more than some on this site.
Still either way its good in my opinion.
Go with my headcannon:
I'm Ice,I'm Cold, I do not know love for i'm am death,I'm am barely flesh and bone, my heart is out metal, My brain is silicon
She is lamb for an prize, Blood must spill.
Who can love an Grim Reaper like me
By people said they hate me but I must do murder and stealing,
By not my hand I chose this faith but it was force of nature make doing this
Call me evil for you want, I'm not evil but machine to nature call Act One of I can't love by Chrysalis
I think I've read this before, somewhere. Have you published it somewhere else?
4019255
Either way, glad you liked! 
I think that Shining and Cadance can work, it's just that a lot of their potential flavor isn't used on the show much. Wish more writers would use them so that the fandom could warm up to them.
4019256
Where exactly is it from...?
Interesting verse.
4019260
So I did some rewrites so it wouldn't break site rules about reposting, and now I'm giving this story a second shot at life.
It was published here, once, for a day, but I took it down the same day because I was mad and things weren't going well. That was last year.
4019200 Well you did a good job of it.
4019296
That's good to hear; I read it before and liked it. Glad to see it up again.
4019296
Me,
It my head-canon sir,
It expalin why this must do,
Cadence is Lamb, My head-cannon: Chrysalis is cold and detached because she raise this way, To never feel, To be Hollow shell
Never feel anything...
This show damage in inside... Whole point to give an very Tragic Villain feeling.
That is what like to be Angel of Death
4019296
Oh well there's always hope. 
Its a problem other characters have too.
Hope it does better this time. If not, try not to let it get to you. We've all read great stories that for some reason don't get the attention they deserve.
daym
Well, this was pleasantly surprising.
4019049
isn't it kind of arrogant to assume that people are only downvoting this because of the description? (not that it isn't the case, it most certainty is)
4019397
And yeah, that's often the case. It's on the popular stories list, so that's good at least!
Yeah, that's why I try to go for unloved pairings and characters. Like Harshwhinny. Gal gets no respect.
4019400
Thank you, I think.
4019433
Thank you; glad you enjoyed!
4019439
Well, maybe a bit. But I do know how important the game of advertising is, and I know how the game is played, so I could already tell this wouldn't perform particularly great - and would get needless downvotes. I like to think I somewhat know what i'm doing.
Another LDSocrates classic.
4019519
Does it really matter if you know where the downvotes come from? or is this about prestige or somthing
4019519
After some time has passed, and when your fans have finished reading it. I would suggest adding the appropriate tag and releasing it to her fan base. If you know what I mean? Don't want to reveal too much.
Oh, by the way I was once Kain187, I changed my name.
I didn't like it very much.
4019561
I... I have classics?
4019640
It's a matter of quality control, really. If the downvotes aren't because of the story or my writing, then there's nothing I need to change at the moment. Nobody's exactly come forward telling me what I need to change
lately.4019643
Oh, of course! I plan to tomorrow; twenty-four hours is more than enough time.
4019660 You sir, are the crack shipping king, of course you do.
Oh man, this was more heart-wrenching than I could imagine. Your only real friend turning out to be an impostor, and then that impostor rubbing it in your face. I hope you come up with some good material in the future.
Not what I expected this to be. Great story.
Great to see it recieved a lot better response this time around, LD.
And I couldn't help it: had to read through it a third time.
(and still just as good) Also read it aloud to my wife (while she's working) and she loved it too!
4019200 Ah, the season of Cadance. I am already as excited as whatever the hell the English equivalent of a Flitzebogen is!
Gah! I hate having to write vague comments so as to not spoil the ending!
I really like how it answered so many questions of that episode?
And her mane?
4019666
Wow, um, thanks!
4019972
I aim to please, so I hope so too!
4020601
Glad you enjoyed! 
Heheh, I'm getting that a lot.
4021065
And to your wife? She a fan of the show too? 
So'm I, honestly. Needed a little confidence boost like this.
4021984
Um... come again?
4022949
Glad you liked it! Though... what about her mane? 
Don't worry, I'm taking the spoiler restriction off a bit later today.
4022966
Yeah, she is. I was the first, but I slowly got her to come around to liking the show, thanks to Suited For Success (she is a fashion major & designer; that song had her hooked!)
I'm still slowly getting her to come around to FimFic, she reads my stories, and I've read her a few different shorter ones from here that I've liked and thought she would too. And yours was one of them
What a
!
Wow...
This is perfect!
Spoiler warnings are coming down, folks! Talk freely all ya want!
4022988
Great! Fandom needs a more feminine touch.
Even better that she likes my workahem, what was that?4023267
Okay... bravo, that got a laugh out of me.
4023831
Mraw, thank you; glad you liked it!
4023998
Why do you ask?
I'd say that he could, with a good story and a good writer at the helm.
Though I don't intend to read the story. I will admit this: the cover art definitely grabbed my attention.
to quote myself when I saw it:
"hhhuat the fuu!?"
and the thought that went through my head afterwords:
'I did not see that coming.'
nothing wrong per say. Just caught me off guard.
Oh, here it is! I read this when it was first published, but it disappeared before I could properly add it to my spreadsheet. This whole time it's been sitting there, with a "Wordcount: ??? Author: ??? Ships: ???" entry. Glad that that mystery is finally solved.
I of course would've preferred seeing an actual romance between these two, since I was originally promised shipping, but this story has pretty much been my headcanon for how Cadence was kidnapped since I first read it.
Shit nigga, this got cray-cray.

4024171 now we know how Chrysalis got in
Not bad. Don't usually read ships, but this was pretty good.
Man when that twist happened I was like "Holy shit this explains so much!" Excellent story.
A nice one shot, though too predictable after seeing the Crysalis tag.
Only point of critique I can think of is that Crysalis wouldn't slip up so bad impersonating Cadance with that kind of back story.
I'll admit, I very much did not see the twist coming. I thought that there'd be *discussion* of Chrysalis, that this was post or early pre-wedding... Good twist!
This is a great fic, and speaking as an EqD pre-reader, I'd say with an editing pass to make sure typos and grammar get caught if anything's funky, you're good to go, if you're inclined to submit it.
4025137
Well, um... thanks for not reading?
4025288
You have a spreadsheet? 
Erm, anyway, glad this became your headcanon! Pretty big compliment. 
Spreadsheet?

Think you might need to fix that link.
4028947
Thank you so much!
4038636
I added it once I thought enough time had passed that spoilers didn't matter anymore. Glad ya liked it all the same.
The Chrysalis tag wasn't there originally.
4043320
I guess I'll try to submit it soon then! 
Um, wow, that's pretty high praise.
Short and sweet and enjoyable. While it was really easy to tell what was going to happen going in, I really liked the idea that Lily never existed. It brings a whole plethora of emotional ravishment that I would have liked to have seen really analyzed. But for a one shot, I guess the movie cliche responses of "what have you done within Lily" and "Why?" will have to do. Like so many stories I've enjoyed, my only real complaint is that I wish it were longer.
I has the sads! Poor cadance! It wouldn't be so bad if chrysalis actually loved her, but did it for her people. I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.
A nice story to read, good job on making it.
Well, that was a story I only gave a shot because I liked some of your other stuff but turned out to be a very pleasant surprise that went in a wholly unexpected direction. I won't say it was perfect but I liked it. Have a thumbs up.
Wow... That reversal was beautiful, just as much as the journey through Cadence's emotions and thoughts. Like, damn. That was some real stuff when it came to meeting an old love and finding meaning again, only for ... Well, you know. As usual, Socrates, I'm left in minor awe of how you handle relationships.
Well, damn.
That was a suckerpunch to the gut.
But in a good way. This is very well-written and handled. I love stories that pick up where episodes left off, or provide some backstory.
Faved!
