Sequels1

E

Adjutant was a former high-ranking changeling under Chrysalis, and now runs a changeling colony in the Everfree Forest under the auspices of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Anyone, changeling or pony, would be lucky to have the attention of a changeling of her status, so why does the only one she desires spurn her attentions?

Surely they can put aside their differences to reach a convenient arrangement?

This a side story that takes place after Spectre of the Past, though it's intended to stand by itself.

Thanks to Gavinfoxx and PhiliChez for proofreading!

Perhaps a bit of a rocky start, but I am intrigued, no less. Do continue.

you had my curiosity at "changeling", now you have my attention.

Interesting opening. Tracking.

I need a copy of this book.

Well somepony is getting a bad customer review. XD

My favorite part of this chapter is how Luna understands the Adjunct's issue well. Two mares from more... 'traditional' periods. It was nice little discussion they had.

That was, how you say, cute.

You can do it Adjutant. Though it may take quite some time for him to let you in and trust you given his job, family and his mental scarring. Given his past, I believe Thunderball deserves some happiness in his life.

No tag as sequel?

I don't think it's tied into the other stories tightly enough to warrant it. I'm open to arguments otherwise, though.

its kinda after all this what happened, for me its enough to count as sequel/continuation

Fair point, I'll make a note of it in the story description.

That was cute, but it's over already? :applecry:

There might be a sequel down the line.

aww its over? you need a sequel

That was fun, and some interesting little bits of worldbuilding.

Far too short. The story really didn't even have time to start before you ended it. I see you might be planning on a "sequel," but I would recommend simply continuing this half-story until it becomes whole.

Well, I'll definitely throw in more chapters if I get a solid idea on where to take it*.

*One that does not involve clop.

Hah, I keep imagining that Ditzy's the author behind that book!:rainbowlaugh:

Just like the other comments said, it's a bit too short and it feels like it's incomplete but I am greatly amused at how Thunderball scaled the walls like that.:rainbowwild:

You're continuing this. Yay:yay:
It's funny how Thunderball is getting the short end of the stick though in this case, it just might end out in his favor.:raritystarry:

I find it to be a nice story of stubbornness learning to find love... oh and the other one is Adjunct. XD
Haha, but seriously this was a nice short story. The humor is good.

Great chapter, I really enjoyed it! Thank you so much for including Silent Knight.

I've been wondering lately, are the bullets mentioned in the story actual bullets from guns or are they magical in nature cause I haven't seen any mention of a firearm..er firehoof? God ponywords are confusing sometimes.:derpytongue2:

The term for the projectile a sling shoots is, in fact, a bullet. Lead bullets for slings predate firearms by over a thousand years, having been in use since the days of the Roman Empire.

If the author is indeed Derpy, no doubt that one of the many rules to attracting the attention of a stallion is to accidentally hit them with your building-destroying butt. Many stallions seem to not mind at all, and instead become intrigued!

The plot thickens, as they say.

5505106
5505169 Huh, is Derpy/Ditzy's reputation for her destructive bum that widespread cause I think I've only seen it in a brief comic somewhere and that's it.

Also, Juntao,:rainbowlaugh:

Why it didn't show in my fav list uhh? Now just by luck I found you continued and even made sequel xD

Is this still updating? I've had in on my completed bookshelf since chapter 5. Only noticed the new chapters because the sequel linked back to it.

5557088

Definitely done now.

5557126

Good to know.

Just asking for the sake of my obsessive compulsive library management. :twilightsheepish:

Moving on to the sequel now.

Lol talking about subtle critics to your superior xD

Awww that is it? This story was getting so juicy ;p

So...browsed Anzel's favorites list because Silent Knight is awesome, saw this, got interested. Wasn't sure what to expect. This is amazing. Nice witty banter, a bit silly and serious all at once. And that's not even the writing style, which exudes humor. This is actually the characters doing it. Your writing style just makes it better, like honey in a good tea.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Also, that image of her trying to sit on Luna's lap is just fantastic. I half-way expected some reaction to that.

Much win here. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of this. It's a shame it took me so long to discover your work, but I plan on rectifying this situation asap.

I'll admit, it took me a little bit to appreciate this fic. The dialogue felt stiff, at first, but then it grew on me and I realized that it fit perfectly for both characters, given how much they rely on manipulation and trickery. Good on you.
