Talon and Thorn


T

All good things must come to an end, and somepony has to write the book on them.

Cheerilee one of the last element bearers is dying and Ghost Writer has been sent to make sure her biography is finished before she finally passes. There are many mysteries about the old mare and her friends life but Ghost is interested in one in particular, Cheerilee has been romantically linked to so many ponies (and other races), she why did she never have a special somepony? Why did she never marry?

A Lunaverse Story, written for the February writing challenge on the topic of 'Future Romance'

You killed off Best Lunaverse Pony way too soon... I am overall sad after this chapter. :fluttercry:

...and now I'm overall sadder. Nice job.

Not my favorite genre, but great story nonetheless.

I need to rethink my life....

“They never found Trixie’s body, she just disappeared.”
“Countess Lulamoon was in very poor health, it is likely...”

:fluttershyouch: Poor Trixie. At least she made Countess.

“She disappeared!” Cheerilee insisted. “She’ll just be waiting for the rest of us to pass and then she’ll pop up again, all part of a trick, she always liked to get the last word in.

:rainbowwild:

“You’d think a script writer would make it a little less dry. At least it was accurate, Trixie’s was nothing but a pack of lies, of course that was part of the appeal, and the point,” she smiled, “Always knew how to work an audience.”

Trixie would never lie! She just edits the truth a bit. :trixieshiftright:

Based on the story description, I have two words of advice for you: learn punctuation.

Goodbye Miss Cheerilee...:fluttershysad:

Any chance of someone doing the autobiographies?
Or her travel books?

I'm not sure which would be better, Cheerilees stories or Trixies. :rainbowlaugh:

You and me both brother...

Interesting beginning. Who are the five princesses? Luna, Celestia, Cadance. Twilight, probably and unfortunately. The fifth is... ?

As for Trixie, not really fond of what happened to her here. But I'll continue reading.

Trenderlee? Not bad. Sucks he died, though. :(

Okay, not too bad. I think Ghost said 'yes'. Still kind of depressing, though. :(

I was thinking that number four was Dinky, actually.

L!Twilight might still have "it" in her, but her destiny doesn't seem to be on the same trajectory without the Element of Magic, and it's apparent that #5 isn't Trixie either.

Maybe it's Bon Bon. :trollestia:

Yes Twilight is number 4, I think it's been said that her destiny is Alicornhood in all universes. As for number 5 I didn't actually have anypony in mind, I just wanted to make the future seen an unusual place, it could be Dinky, Discord, Puscience, Bon Bon or somepony never mentioned so far the stories 65 years in the future so their's time.

I'm sorry about Raindrops's untimely death, I just realised that I didn't really have anything in mind for her to do and decided to have he die at some point again just to give a feeling of time having passed.

For Trixie's book, well some nameless brownnoser during her political career complained that the various other autobiographies didn't paint her in a good enough light and that all her friends must be jealous of her. So to show him she decided to put quill to paper and write "My Awesome Life" by the G & P Trixie containing the true and in no way enhanced truth. Never before had ponies learnt that in fact it was Trixie who had taught Luna to raise the moon! And that she could have beaten Corona at any point but she waited because she felt sorry for the poor Alicorn. All her friends agreed that it was in fact the best Autobiography ever, although Twilight made very sure that every copy ended up in the Fiction / Comedy section of the nations libraries rather than History or Biography.

Well it's supposed to be a melancholy story. Although to me (as an unattached person) it's supposed to say that you don't need to get married or have children to be happy, you can have friends, so many friends.

Not all universes. Sure as heck not the Hasbroverse. :p

I thought you were generally following on 'behind' the canon universe, have decided to totally branch off instead or just alter some things?

5690032 Some stuff will stay the same, but a lot won't. Discord's fate will be... *Striker trails off as a wickedly evil grin forms on his face*

Seems legit. :trixieshiftright:
