Oh my. That was simply lovely. :raritystarry:
You, good sir, deserve a mustache. :moustache:

Meaning, btw, that you delivered, quite exceptionally.

5681292 Thank you :)

Tbh, I stayed up all night writing this, choosing each word and phrase meticulously. I'm frickin exhausted too lol.

5681436
You know that you're not supposed to stay up all night clopping to your own material, don't you?

Just kidding.

Your hard work shows. You do amazing work!

5681859 Funny thing that, and full disclosure;
I couldn't touch myself until after I posted the chapter.
I could say it was a rule, my attempt to write romantically, or not wanting to corrupt my image of such a beautiful and innocent character, but I would rather leave that a mystery lol.

I am curious how many other people did, though.

5681887
Or maybe you couldn't because you were afraid you'd never finish it and post it.

As to your final question, the world may never know. :trollestia:

Not bad. Would be good if he bedded the other elements. :raritywink:

5682020 I have to be honest, I was so close to making this my last attempt at clop, because it makes me feel like I'm diving into a subject that doesn't need to be written about. I took this opportunity to go out with a bang and include a *lot* of my turn-ons, including the petting, wingplay, and Flutterdom, all of which I downplayed far more than I would have liked, and I always find it a struggle to come up with new ways to describe the same action. One that I am yet to experience, I might add.

However, I found throughout this chapter that I simply feel unfinished, and it's encouraging me to actually complete some other things as well, including both clop and non-clop variants.

This story in particular feels like I could add whole chapters of depth to it, and in fact, that was something I planned to do from the start. I'll probably make a blog post on it later as to why it feels so unfinished, but until then, you know what I'm working on :raritywink: lol.

Sorry for blowing up the comments of my own story, I just love conversing about teh pony fics :heart:

5682033 I fully intend on doing that at some point, though not in this universe and not in first person POV. :rainbowlaugh:

This began as a plot-driven story exploring the depths of Twilight's and Spike's relationship and evolved into something else entirely. Not that far off real-life, if I had to compare the two. I kept it succinct because I intend to continue in this universe with other stories, and I consider this the introductory one. Most of the 'irrelevant' details, like Spike's decision to skip out on meeting with Rarity, or choosing to meet Fluttershy instead of sleeping on it, will be called on again later.

Thank you for the comment!

I hope that you do continue to write, clop included. Writing good clop is actually hard to do. Writing about the same thing, while not using the same words and phrases, and without it becoming monotonous, is extremely hard. You've done masterfully. Your lack of experience doesn't show. At all.

I look forward to any words you choose to write, as I know they will always be quality ones.

Your friend,
Phenrys

5682136 Can you tell me whether is this a FLutterspike or a twispike ?

5683065 Flutterspike, although I'm tempted to say it's neither lol. It won't be a surprise though :raritywink: and I'll understand if that ruins it for you:scootangel:
5682466
Thank you!

Riz

5683119 No it didn't ruin me, I just confuse that in early chap. he was with Twi and in the end he's with Shy.

5683136 I cause a lot of confusion, and I understand that's a weak point for me at the moment. I was trying to highlight the differences and similarities between one's closeness to a friend, and the lengths they are willing to go for them; and one's relationship with one they love in the other form.

I've scoured this land they call "Fimfiction.net" for ... so longI'm only NOW seeing this????:pinkiegasp:
This story is amaze. Yes, amaze. Good job, exsnaggerwes, very good job!:yay:
And even though I'm not nearly popular enough for it to mean anything, I give this story a 10 outta 10.:moustache:

5881803 Thank you very much! If you don't mind my asking, what about it did you like in particular?

5882137 Do you want a review or just something I liked?

5882461 whatever fits. I asked because I'm doing a side story that will reference this one heavily, and I also recently wrote a guest clop chapter in another, and I was wondering if you would be interested in either.

5882480 Alright, here's my input.
I can't choose just one thing in particular, but I'll tell you what I think you did well. Keep in mind that I'm just a reader, not a writer, and that I'm especially biased to anything FlutterSpike because it's my favorite ship.
1: The characters were believable. They stayed true to themselves and didn't do anything crazy that the real characters wouldn't do.
2: Good pacing. Although sometimes moments felt a liiiittle bit too rushed, but it was still paced well. Everything happened at a pace that lets the reader understand everything that is going on in that moment.
3: The descriptive details were all there, you painted the scene well.
4: The clop was done well, it wasn't too rushed or over dramatic .
5: The character development was done well.
But, what I liked most about it is how the characters interacted, it was all very convincing.
Final verdict with bias, 10/10
Final verdict without bias, 9/10
And I might be interested in those other stories/chapters, it just depends on what's in them.

5882653 in the guest chapter (in a 5score side story), Trixie and an OC.

The story I am writing referencing this one is also a five score side story most likely without clop and involving Spike, Moon Dancer, Cadance, and another undisclosed character.

Seriously in character, passionate, sincere, loving and so much detail that I can't help but love every since line. You done a very amazing job and I can not wait to see what else you'll create my friend.

6019578 Thank you for all the compliments and the follow!

Since you like Spike with the other ponies, I recommend Dragons' Destiny for you. It's not a pairing per se, but it does have some good interaction with Spike and Scootaloo imo.

6425626 Thanks! I hope you enjoy the other scenes in this story too!

7498946 10 out of a giant number like that would give it less than .001% rating. Making it the worst you've ever read. You'd want the giant number first to send it over 100%.

7566972 ok I rated it and liked it so a 100% in books XD
