This a great to read and thanks for writing this by the way.

Thanks. there was barely any time between me thinking about this, writing it, giving it a quick once over and posting it, really, which isn't typical for me. It'd be interesting if they actually do something like this on the show. Remember in Twilight Time, the fantasy where Apple Bloom grows a really big apple tree in less than a minute?

I like this, short and simple
! But Twilight... YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY THANK YOU. 
I would have thought Twilight would be just a little more excited about a new house.............

Good point. I think she was just a bit too surprised by what they did to think of it off the bat, and her first reactions were pretty much to go into research mode and to realise that she had a library with no books in it and to want to immediately fix that. She isn't exactly always the most conscious of social niceties.
I'm pretty sure she would have thanked them as they were restocking the library, though.

Now I'm tempted to write a story where Apple Bloom becomes some sort of amazing potion master, like even _more_ amazing than being able to grow full trees instantly out of scratch, and her flank remains resolutely blank; and then one day she's frustrated in the orchard and kicks an apple tree halfheartedly and BAM there's her mark in apples and apple-related accessories and she's all "OH, COME ON!"
Except knowing my writing style, it would quickly turn from a stupid random comedy into a six-layers-deep reflection on the inescapability of destiny and the disturbing implications of the cutie mark system &c.

I know, that's what it feels like sometimes. I thought about giving her a cutie mark here, but I felt it'd detract from the point of the story. The show does that all the time too. It really feels like the cutie mark crusaders should have gotten their cutie marks by now.
There'd be a lot of complaining, but I'd support that as a two part season finale for season five.
I'd certainly read a story about the disturbing implications of the cutie mark system, mind.
I needed this. :)

Yeah, me too...

And drive me insane in the process, I'm sure. ^^
Someone has done an awesomely creepy version of what you describe, however: The Name Game

Thanks for the rec!
Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to top that one.

Honestly If the CMC get their marks, I'd like for one of them to get it before the other two so that they figure out what growing up means (and that it doesn't mean you have to stop having fun).
Not that everyone will be happy when the CMC realize that just because they have their marks doesn't mean they have to stop crusading.
Well thought-out and heartwarming. It would have remained just that, but:
"I think we can declare amnesty on library fines with the library having been destroyed," puts it over the top. With it being so short, that line really sticks out, and it's so in character I can see it happen on the show, sure.

Thanks. It is something I could see happening. Books that were checked out and/or overdue were the ones that survived after all.
This story really sort of just happened. I watched the finale, went to do my grocery shopping with the destruction of the library still in my head, it combined with Twilight Time, and by the time I got home, this was half done. I kept going at home, looked it over, and decided to just go ahead and post it.
I'm fond of it. I wouldn't have minded having more to it, but I've already got enough things I'm working on, and it's reasonably complete in itself.
--arcum42
That was really sweet, I can totally see the CMC doing something like this for Twilight. :)
Finally a fanfiction that acknowledges it that Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle miss the library too and that especially Sweetie Belle misses it and one where Sweetie Belle cries about the loss of it and says that she misses it because she learnt magic there!
That was overdue. Thanks for that!
4784777 I'm kind of surprised Apple Bloom didn't get a potion cutie mark at the end.

Well, as it says earlier in the comments, I thought about it at the time, but thought it'd detract from the point of the story. It probably helps to keep in mind that this was written the same weekend that the episode in which the library was destroyed aired, IIRC, though...
--arcum42
That was a good story.
