frist?
Also, backgrounded background ponies are the best!
Keep going!
Great little diddy, if you ask me. Two people just... interacting. The best kind of oneshot.
It's nice to see the nameless get their stories told from time to time.
Have a thumb up and a gold star.
This is probably the most obscure reference I have ever understood. On that note, this is a really sweet little fic, and your interview captures a lot of the style Terkel actually used in his books.
5138287 ha, now that you mention it.... (Googles name)....!!! I see what you did there...

Thanks!

Sometimes they have the most interesting stories.

The funny thing is that I haven't actually read any of his books yet, but the passage at the end seemed just like what he would have done.

Very great story. I see a "spin-off" story about Golden Agate, wonder what his foal will look like.
The so called commoner can have the strangest stories. The guy in the UK who won the lotto twice, and lost it all. The guy in Japan who was visiting relatives in Hiroshima. then went home. To Nagasaki.
To those silent servants. Those who only stand and wait.
You might wanna put some clarity into that to let the reader know that the Crystal Pony hesitated to speak any further.

Not a bad idea.

Don't mind me or all the notifications, just catching up on stuff I missed.

That's cool. Rinnaul did reviews of all the stories, if you want to get an idea what you're getting into before you read it.
I'll admit, after reading this line I assumed that Golden Agate was afraid of Sombra's return.
The next paragraph made me mildly ashamed, as I should have been for what I'd thought.
A solid, nicely written slice of life.
Why does this story not have more views?
It deserves so much more.

I agree with you 100%.
Do listen to AShadowOfCygnus' reading; he gets Golden Agate's voice perfect.
6883210 I did
It took me until the story was over to realize his name was not actually Spuds. >.<

lol.
I don't think I ever said what his actual name was.
Sometimes I wonder if it's obnoxious, the way I force everyone to get on the NITPICK TRAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!
what
Perhaps the most jarring tense changes come in the middle of sentences.
In other news, this is a nice story.

Corrections made, thank you!
Again, thank you!
Aw this, more of this Biscuit.

Maybe one day.
At least we now know more about his daughter than we did before.
I suspect that the foal will be ordinary:
When the Mane 6 used the CrystalkHeart to defeat Sombre, it temporarily made them Crystally. It is probable the magic of the CrystalHeart which makes the CrystalPonies Crystally.

Nope she turned out to be crystally, read Field Notes from Equestria XD

So the CrystalHeart causes EpiGenetic Changes:
¿Are you aware of phenotypic variability? Basically if 1 identical twin exercises and the other is a couchpotato, the exercizer ends up with bigger muscles. Some types of phenotypic variability are encoded in the regulatory mechanisms of DNA, thus giving the next generation without changing the underlying DNA. Epigenetic changes decay back to baseline and are overwritten by new epigenetic changes, so last about 5-to-10 generations, on average.
The foals of Flurry Heart might be crystally. The foals of CrystalPonies living outside of the CrystalEmpire might stay crystally for several generations.

We don’t know the range of the thing. When it’s active, it could keep crystal ponies crystally anywhere on
EarthEquestria.Maybe it’s the lack of it which does; maybe the normal state of crystal ponies is crystally.
I think it would depend on who she hooked up with (and I suppose the Crystal Heart Magic)--she’s the daughter of at least one non-crystal pony (Shining) and the other probably isn’t either (Cadance, don’t know her full origin story in show canon; I think in supplemental canon she was a pegasus who ascended).
Golden Agate’s pure Crystal Pony. His marefriend isn’t, but thanks to the magic of dominant and recessive genes, their foal is crystally. And has a gait most normal ponies don’t. And she’s a unicorn, which don’t exist in the Crystal Empire.
And I don’t recall if she was ever named.
