Thanks for the shout-out! It's been a pleasure to help you with this the whole way. I'd also like to congratulate you by NOT taking the cheap way out with your story and keeping your characters, well, in character, having them act and react to things as they actually would. Lily and Rose did the right thing by themselves and by the story here, hard though it may have been. As the song goes, you can't always get what you want, but you might get what--or who--you need.
It's been a fun ride, and the story has done well. Look forward to the epilogue and hearing more from all our new friends--Richard, Lily and Linky--in the future!
6244038 Yeah, sorry to everyone who wanted some Rose x Lily, but I had to do the right thing as much as the characters did. Would have been fun to write, but a massive failure of storytelling. This story was a real trip. I'm pretty sure it was out of my league and I stood no chance of going it alone but that made it fun too. I learned more about writing with this one story than I did in school.
The hundreds of hours I put into this was a lot of hard-ass work, but it was a lot of fun too. I feel like, this time around, I made a story that was "good enough." I'm glad that I was able to give something back to the community that gave me: Kkat's Fallout Equestria, Gentleman For Mares, Feathered Heart, Five Star Service, Wild Rose, The Haunting of Ponyville,Turnabout Storm, and The Assumption of Applejack -or- Appletheosis -- just to name a few.
Not that my story is equal to any of those but at least it tried. Couldn't have done it without you, sensai!
Another great chapter, altho I'm sad this tale has to come to a close.

So why doesn't Linky drink? Is there a story behind it, or is it just a preferencee?
