Even when there's no light at the end of the tunnel, that doesn't mean you can't keep moving. Luna finds it within herself to put one hoof in front of the other, as her immortality melts away.

Simply wow, just wow. I think I will need to re-read this one day to get all the points, but wow, this was good work.

Also, can I guess if you are a fan of Wheel of Time?

I want some cereal.

Beautiful. Just finished, and it's wonderful. Excellent work. I was wondering there for a moment if Malaria could take down alicorns, but later we see it's Discord Malaria, which works for me.

I'd italicize the very last word.

Steve Vai - Tender Surrender

Wow... this certainly was deep and heart warming... And damn you for sending those onion ninjas! :fluttercry:

For some reason A Thousand Years was playing in my head the entire time I was reading this.

How do you consistently produce such quality and brilliant work?

This is astounding. Just...wow. You're getting better with each story man. I feel like I need to re-read this several times just to get it. This was quality.

Well done sir, well done. :twilightsmile:

Who the fuck keeps disliking every comment? :rainbowhuh:

Fuck you for making me feel feeling.

4474130 I know of Wheel of Time (who doesn't? It was one of the most popular series ever), but I've actually never read it yet. I have an overall sense of the plot, but I should probably read it sometime. If this holds any similarity, it's just coincidence.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

4474201 Thanks, Brunnen! You're not the first person to think she came down with Malaria.

4474765 Thanks, mate! I'll keep the onions coming ;)

4476566 Aw, thanks! I kinda just let my pen go wherever it wanted this time, so I'm glad you think it came out well! Of course, I always have a tendency to go on the subtle side of things, so without any restraint this time, I don't blame you for not getting it all on the first go.

4477051 :D

4477210 I ask why as Luna's healing was VERY similar to what happened in one of the books. Good job on doing it by accident!

Oh, good god, thank you! My heart was pounding throughout this story, thinking there was going to be a sad ending. Thank you for not going down that road.

Somepony's been disliking comments. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Unfortunately, there's someone out there who's been taking to my stories, blog, and user page and being derisive simply because I ship Twilight and Luna. This means downvotes galore.

4477500 Fuck em, your stories are amazing.

Man, this was well-written. Normally I dislike TwiLuna -- in the show, they rarely talk, and Twilight is hardly nicer to Luna than she would be to any new princess.

However, I'm fine with really any ship if it's done well. And this one is.

In return for making this epic story, take this disembodied, green, upwards-facing hand with the thumb extended, and this golden star.

you had me at "Even when there's no light at the end of the tunnel, that doesn't mean you can't keep moving. " gonna read this later on :twilightsmile:

D'awwwwww
The feels, they're killing me :fluttercry:

Wow, just, wow! You are so superb at writing!

I am a gigantic dork for Twiluna, so let's just say I was quite eager to tackle this fic. So glad I chose to check it out immediately!

Your mature and poetic grasp of language is remarkable, and fits the tone well. I found myself guessing quite a bit, due to the overall melancholic tone.

P.S. if you write a lot of Twiluna you can bet your buttons that this won't be the last you'll see of me!
P.P.S. I love how the "cover art" for this fic is by the artist who got me to ship Twilight and Luna

Simply amazing. Wonderful job!

Wow. This was really...something. It's too late for me to fully comprehend this all, I think. :ajsleepy:

But, I think it was good? Liked and faved...and will reread again...hopefully it's not just that I'm too dumb for this one :rainbowhuh:

It's a bit stilted and the lexicon is wayyy too fancy for my tastes. I don't think I understood it as the author meant for me to. :pinkiesad2:

4477814 Thank you so much! I never meant for this to be preaching TwiLuna or anything, and I'm glad you enjoyed it despite not liking this pairing so much.

4478212, 4479332, 4478860 Aww, thank you!

4479156 Oh no no no! If I'm to be honest, I was experimenting with not telling or giving the reader everything, having them work out some bits of information. I doubt you're "too dumb" for this, I was probably just trying too hard or something. I'm glad you still enjoyed it, though!

4478445 Thank you! I'm really happy that this came off so well for you. And that you appreciated my metaphors. Just... that. Also, welcome to the little clan of TwiLuna people! We... well, we really don't make sense half – most – the time, but I promise we don't bite! You'll certainly be seeing more of me, then.


4480147 Hmm, okay. Stilted, I can understand where you're coming from. However, I'm confused about my "fancy lexicon". My diction, at least to me and those who read it, had nothing wrong with it. I understand it's your opinion, but you make it sound like it hits a far extreme. That worries me. What exactly went wrong, if you don't mind me asking?

4480593 I never said you were preaching it; I just dislike that specific ship because of my headcanon. If the story had just been about them dating, I would probably have liked it a lot less. As-is, the feelings are almost used as a tool, which I found interesting. Hence me liking it. :pinkiehappy:

4480593
Teehee! Sorry, I didn't mean for that comment to be taken too seriously. Self-deprecating comments/humor are just what I do. :pinkiehappy: Don't worry yourself too much over my bleary 2AM blatherings; it's a good story and you're clearly a talented writer. I've just got a big mouth, sometimes. :facehoof:

I look forward to more from you. :moustache:

4480593


He he I've actually shipped Twiluna for quite a while, I've just never really participated in any fandom activities or what have you. But it really is nice to find myself reading fics and chatting with other fans uwu Thanks for being swell

(I hope I'm doing this replying thing right. Haha. I'm new to fimfiction and also using a mobile device. Welp.)

Okay, so I finally read this story of yours.

This is quite beautifully written, as per usual for you, Habutt. I am impressed by some of the writing and language you used. The interactions between Twilight and Luna were superb, as well.

The problem I have with this, really, is that you went overboard with what you were trying to convey, and you ended up with layers of purple prose. That alone made reading this story harder than it should have been. The other main problem I had is that the sequence of events is kind of... confusing? Like, I think you were trying too hard to be subtle and indirect, but really I just feel like I missed something, or like an important scene was cut out prior to be being published.

The ending and the beginning were solid pieces of writing, but it began to fall apart when you tried to convey something majestic and ended up just confusing me and my inferior brain. I understand the importance of subtlety, but clarity is always more important.

Other than that, there are a few editing nitpicks I had – missing words, awkward phrasings and suchlike. The melodrama kind of turned me off somewhat as well.

Really, if this had a less basic concept, I would probably have found it easier to swallow. But since the actual premise lacks substance and the writing is flawed, I just found it hard to enjoy it.

In short, not bad by all means, but I would consider this weaker than your other work by a large margin.

Now watch as I go to sleep, wake up with a properly working brain and completely change my mind.

4480593 The wording is extra flowery, borders on poetry, to the point where I lost what was actually happening in the story because of the extra-pretty wording. :pinkiesad2:

My heartstrings shook while I read this. :pinkiesad2: Beautiful, just... beautiful. :heart:

The writing is very pretty, and that's nice, but I have no idea what happened here.

I am extremely confused, I had no clue on what was happening in this story. Also

Of course, sending a her out to the Zebrican homelands, with no experience in the grasslands, to spend a week with the Great Shaman in his meditations.

Just her you do not need an a their.

Just simply beautiful:heart:

takes a lot to make me cry. You just did it.

This is an amazingly written piece of art (If a few ignorable grammar mistakes) and i give it easily a 9.7 out of 10. Anyone who says these paragraphs are too over done and the premise is flawed, or that any part fell from amazing to confusion is more than likely a reader with the inadequate skill to comprehend properly written literature when they see it. from beginning to end, emotion, string plucking action, descriptions, details and above all my favorite two ponies and the best ship ever, this is truly one of the greatest one-shots I've read. id even go as far to put it with Whisper Sun Silent Moon and a few others. you get a like, a favorite and a new follower for this.

Keep it up.

4489199 Ah, a typo. I'll get right on it.

4487301 Okay, I understand. This was a more experimental piece than I usually do, so if you were lost, I can learn from it. What exactly did you not understand? Luna's reasoning to do this, why Twilight was sad or withdrawn? If you don't mind, I'm asking you this too, 4489199.

4489313 Aw, thank you.

4491553 I'm glad you took the story to heart, that makes me feel accomplished that my emotions could get across some pixelated ink. But please, don't... Don't compare it to Whisper Sun, Silent Moon. I love that story so much, and this isn't anywhere close. Go read The Celestial Mechanics in Midsummer or something and compare RedSquirrel's work to that. Not mine. Not yet.

I put a lot of work into this, but as I've seen from the comments, I've written for too niche a reader here. This style of writing is my favorite, but it's not in much of my other work because I'm far from being competent with it. 4480861 and I talked about this (whom I believe you were referring to on the "flawed premise" comment) and it's partly a stylistic preference (Thick, emotional diction and sentence structure, with a heavy use of metaphor so I don't write fifty-thousand words to spell out everything for the reader) that in this case simply didn't read for everyone. But it has to. Losing half the readership isn't a good barometer.

I'll need to be better next time around.

I haven't even got that far in my understanding. Where I'm at is more of an...

Who is alive; Who died; What's real; Whats a dream?

I got noooothin

Did a wave of red thumbs wash over the comments?

4565065 some dude really dislikes Habanc. Its gotten to the point where they have gone on his blogs, user page, and stories to dislike because he does twiluna. Habanc mentioned that in one of his earlier comments.

MESSAGE TO EXTREME DISLIKER:
you are a fucking dick:ajbemused:

4660548 Don't worry about it, dude. It is what it is. As long as more people are telling me they enjoy reading my work rather than attacking it, it's all good. Mr. Negative is doing his thing, I'm doing my thing, and most people are having a good time.

That's what matters.

4668121 that is very true, good sir

wonderful story. sad that it ended, ^_^ keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:

Purple prose. This story haz it. Thumbs up though.

5075284 Yeah, sorry about that.

I was experimenting with slowing down time, or the perception of it, and needless to say there's still work to be done. I'm glad you liked it, though!

Dayumn! So many feels.

Wow! This was the best one of your works I've read so far :pinkiehappy:
And you seem to really like TwiLuna :twilightsmile:

Thanks! It's my favorite.
