I like the worldbuilding here. The thestrel backstory and the idea that Shady Forest was a haven to them makes perfect sense, as well as that they would later parlay it into a tourist attraction. Roseluck being undressed is almost too hot. And that last line? Perfect!
5793457 I am really surprised DEL didn't just explicitly state that there are thestrels in Shady Forest after his announcement that Season Four was being added to the Gentlemanverse canon. The way he set up The Lady and The Gentleman it was the perfect place to add them. Well that's what us trusty sidekick authors are here to do: expand the universe and make it more awesome!

I like to think of the two them as mutual admirers of just how crazy they are.
I had a surprisingly easy time writing this chapter. I look forward to starting on five and finishing up strong.
5795365 I shouldn't complain about the dislikes. How many times have you seen fimfiction receive a human on pony story with only two downvotes? While this might reflect that general audiences stayed away, the story only having briefly featured, it's still astonishing. I think the first-person Roseluck may have deflected a lot of the hate generally leveled against HiE. I can't say I agree with the haters, but seeing things from the pony's perspective is kind of nice for a change.
Just wish I had my own artwork for this. I really need to break down and get an artist, but I fear for asking one to do work for my clopfic.
5795265 I'm not entirely sure what angle you're coming at this from, but I will point out that the universe I'm writing in favors world-building and drama over actual sex. While there's nothing stopping me from having these two banging in every public space in Equestria, I feel obliged to only use sex as a storytelling device, a means to an end, rather than an end unto itself.
I do plan on having one or two additional sex scenes, but I can't promise you the rest of the story will be filled with them.
5796532 I'm restarting on it today. What you see here is about 2 months worth or work displayed for viewing in a matter of days. At my current rate pf production, there should be a new chapter in a couple weeks. I'm glad you enjoy it.
5817966 I have no plans for a Lily Valley x Carrot Top side story at this time. Though if you're really wondering how things are going with those two, you might not have long to wait. They'll be making an appearance within the next couple chapters and you won't want to miss it.
While I am much more used to the metric system of kilometres per hour, that is still extremely fucking fast. The fastest land animal on earth, the cheetah, runs at max about sixty miles per hour. So there better be a very good explanation for her able to run that fast!
...many of us grew fed up with the constant fear and harassment and our founder, Night Wish, lead a group of thestrals here to Shady Forest, under a canopy of firefly lit lamps carried by watchponies to serve as a beacon for others to join us in freedom from the hatred of our daylight-loving kinfolk. The magic of the forest suppresses the light from the sun, making it a perfect place to hide and build our own thestral colony to preserve our way of life.
The thing with the first four chapters was I had Firesight do a single pass only and there would be issues with letters being dropped and missing gaps or double-gaps.

You forgot the " at the end.
Very nice build for thestrals, which I think was absent in my story.
I am surprise you know about the Tercios :)

Ah, Hollow Shades. Were I to exist in this 'verse, it's definitely a town I'd consider settling in.
Loved the bit of thestral history, too
When I read this, I could think of but one thing.
You may think we're slow, Rose, but we evolved as persistence hunters. No matter how fast you run, we'll get you. Eventually.
serviced by ed and black open-roof carriages pulled by earth ponies with prop bat wings.
What does 'ed' mean?

Red and black. Fixed.

Peace and love for thestrals!
