"Violence for violence is the rule of beasts" - Barack Obama

T
Source

The armies of the the free world — from the Myrmidons of Minos to the Border Guard of Equestria — unite to free the deer nation Nainuoc from a tyrant and destroy his secret doomsday devices.

Critics see a quagmire, cooked up on flimsy pretenses. Supporters see a just war of liberation, for the safety of the world.

Gilda and Trixie see comically large sums of money, drifting softly into their clutches.

:rainbowlaugh: Sweet.

"Freedom is messy." I fell down laughing at that.

Absolutely adored this story. Love love loved it. Wouldn't change a thing.

Fantasticly written good sir.

That was excellent, a perfect little buddy caper fic, between two folks who really ought to team up more often. The only thing wrong with it is that one little word: "complete."

LIK IF U CRI EVRYTIM!

I can only imagine how horribly wrong this goes after the curtain closes. The alternative is that these two are set for life, and thus won't get up to any more buddy caper stories. And that would be terrible.

In any case, thank you for a magnificent heist.

Another excellent Gilda/Trixie fic from my favoritest– wait.

For theRedBrony.

Those pics pretty much sum up my feelings right now. You were right, btw, I did love it. Thank you Chuck, this means a lot to me :pinkiehappy:

Celebration Music!

>>>Evil Lord Saiyan>>>

I knew Goku was gonna let the Super Saiyan God thing go to his head.

:trollestia:

I love the way you write Trixie and Gilda!

Hmm, this level of fraud and deception seem right up Flim and Flam's alley.

Trixie and Gilda would have competition....

“Even if they did find out, which they won't, what are they gonna do? We’ll blame it on our contract-holder and show them the orders, and then the contract-holders will blame the interim government, and the interim government will blame the NGOs, and the NGOs will blame the MLAs and nobird will do anything because it’ll turn into a mess of talon-pointing and screaming aides. And that means nobird is gonna be looking too deeply into finances or where things have gone, because they know it’s gonna be a huge mess, earn them more enemies, and solve nothing.”

You know, I´m pretty sure that the "blame chain" runs in the opposite direction: toward the weakest link aka scapegoats (specially when they actually deserve it)

Dear God I need more of this.

Not if you're a contractor, and not if the entire company you're working for is corrupt (and lets face it, if they'd hire Trixie and Gilda, they're rotten to the core).

I actually do plan to continue this, but first I need to get through THAT NOVEL YOUVE BEEN WORKING ON HOWS THAT NOVEL YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

For some reason, I feel as if this can be turned into a series all of its own.

Super awesome! :heart:

You know, I'm now intrigued/horrified by the idea of the FlimFlam brothers partnering with this delightfully dark duo. They seem like they'd it fin perfectly in this kind of story.

I love all of your stories. Fuck yea, war profiteering!

Wondered when I'd see you guys here! Glad you liked it.

4278554 Sorry for taking so long ^^; My new duties at EQD sort of ate a bunch of mt time before things settled.

Dammit, every time you release one of these it makes me long for more Banishment Decree. But you keep releasing more of these so I guess I can't complain.

Wait, this is the internet. I can always complain! Write more Banishment Decree, dammit!

I just LOVE this! I've spent all night looking at your other stuff, starting with Banishment Decree and working my way up. This Trixie and Gilda are just too damned fun! Snarky, dark, malicious, and fun! I really hope you do more of this soon. :trixieshiftright:

So is this pre or post Banishment Decree?

It was enjoyable either way.

Not canon to Banishment Decree. It is, however, canon to We'll Dismember It For You, Wholesale!

Oh well if it's a stand-alone (sort-of) I don't have to wonder how they lost the money before Banishment Decree, they can just keep it.

:rainbowlaugh:Sorry I don't have anything to really contribute beyond "this is a riot". Always love a good caper.

Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.

Already did. Got some bullshit back about 'an inconclusive ending' or something and I'm not editing this story for the shitty arbiters of taste at EqD. They've got Persimmon Spring and Banishment Decree, they can be happy with them.

Ah, yeah. Trixie and Gilda, two lovable scoundrels, homicidal international criminals, and shameless war profiteers. They're hilarious, despite (because?) being utterly terrible by any reasonable (and most unreasonable) standards.

(Dammit, why doesn't this place have a Gilda smiley anyway?)

This was tons of fun dude, I especially liked your take on magical ordinance as an EMP. And hey, if their company needs to avoid Congressional scrutiny, they can just break up into subsidiaries and change their name to something innocuous like Conservatori or something.

I like it. The spelling and grammar mistakes get really distracting at times, but I certainly like the idea and perverse charm of Gilda and Trixie being scoundrels and thieves, pillaging war-torn countries. Sometimes it's good to be bad.

Oh yes, this is the best way of portraying Gilda and Trixie in existence. And I love that they get away with it... because shady characters just shouldn't be caught all the time when their plans are so brilliant.

You portrayed the conditions in a (very familiar sounding) warzone perfectly and fit the two misfits into it seamlessly. Have a fav.

More of this is needed.

Yeah, this was pretty badass, I guess. :rainbowderp:

Am I the only one who saw the trailer for War Dogs and thought of this?:rainbowlaugh:

Holy shit that was brilliant, Chuck. That ending especially.

Fun. Always love a well thought out con.
