The convention went by without any additional sudden attacks or bouts of drama. The final day was a pleasant experience of relaxation and socialization. Silver met new ponies as she wandered the convention, and most of them had nice things to say. When everything was wrapped up, everyone gathered their things, new and old, and headed for the station to get a ride home, but Twilight had other ideas. "Silver, will you lend me some of your magic?"
Silver perked her ears. "Of course, what do you have in mind?"
Twilight grinned. "I think I can manage a group transport with the two of us combined. Everyone gather around." Everyone? Silver found the word odd coming of Twilight's mouth, but recalled it wasn't her first time using it. Everyone gathered close to Twilight and Silver. With touching horns, Twilight tapped into Silver's pool of magic and added it to her own as she wove the powerful magic. They vanished in a bright flash of silvery pink light, and suddenly appeared in front of the castle, a little crispy around the edges but otherwise unharmed.
Spike shook the thaumic soot off of himself and checked his goodies. Once he was sure everything had made it fine, he dashed off with a giggle to stash his prizes away. Silver looked around just in time to be flattened under a very round Night Watch. "You're back."
Silver rolled over under Night and nuzzled her fullness. "Hello, mother of my foal, guardian of the nest, and holder of my heart."
Night went red and her wings fluttered. "Was she practicing her lines while she was away?"
Twilight snorted softly. "I think she just missed you. Which reminds me, news!" She waved and Night stepped off Silver to follow after Twilight a small distance away and they began to whisper to one another.
Night's eyes widened. "No!"
"Yes." Twilight nodded firmly. "If she decides to."
Night looked back at Silver, then Twilight. "What's she waiting for?"
Silver blinked. "You're in support, I gather?"
Night moved up to Silver and nudged her. "Fast made me appreciate the mare physique, but I'm still mostly a straight mare. I like stallions, and I liked you as one. You were my stallion. This is your foal, which you made, as a stallion."
Twilight thrust a hoof between them. "But! This is Silver's choice."
Night stopped, then nodded. "Yes, yes it is. I will love you either way. Make a decision you won't regret."
Silver took a soft breath. "Twilight."
"Yes?"
Silver pointed at Twilight. "Are you willing to take the foal?"
Twilight blinked in befuddlement. "What?"
Silver spread her wings. "The foal, our foal. I'm not sure a stallion could support her, even as a... magical construct or whatever he is right now. You are female, fertile, and we are mates. Can I put a foal in you?"
Twilight snorted into a laughter. "That sounded so wrong... I... well... it is my foal too."
"He."
"He is my foal." Twilight nodded slowly. "I would be a real jerk to say no to my own foal, but how do you plan to get him to me?"
Silver tapped her chin softly. "The old fashioned way?"
Twilight flushed. "Silver, we're trying to move an existing foal, not make a new one."
"So?" Silver rose to her hooves. "Do your magic, make me a stallion. I'll focus the child where it counts, then we'll, you know, couple, and I'll fill you with the foal, and you can carry him to a much more natural term. No more immaterial foals."
Twilight poked her own belly. "I'll skip right to being..."
Night got a smug look. "Welcome to the club. I'll show you a few tricks."
"Will you do it?" Silver looked at Twilight intensely.
Twilight sagged a little. "If it means restoring you and our foal's safety, yes. You can put a foal in me, as you said."
Pinkie exploded out of a nearby bush. "Foal party!"
Night shook her head at Pinkie. "You already threw this one a party?"
"I did?"
Silver smiled gently. "We're moving a foal, not making a new one."
"Okie Dokie Lokie." Pinkie saluted and dived back into the bush, vanishing.
Twilight shook her head a little. "I wonder if I'm ever really alone with her as a friend."
Silver leaned in and kissed Twilight's cheek. "Enough about her. How do we do this?"
Twilight looked Silver over. "Are you certain? I'm pretty sure this is a one-way road. The energy required to go male to female on an alicorn would be more than all the alicorns currently in existence."
Silver considered a moment, rubbing over her belly. "I'll only regret not giving birth, but that was already taken away from me when I ascended and the child lost its body. Other than that, I'm ready to return to masculinity, I think. I don't begrudge my time as a mare. It was... I want to say educational but that's so dry. It touched me, changed me. I think I'm better for the experience."
Twilight waved inside. "Then let's get to work. I expect Cadance will arrive in a few hours."
Silver and Night followed Twilight. Fast was inside, chatting with Spike. He looked up towards the others when they arrived. "Hey! Looking good, Twilight, Silver. How was the trip?"
Silver gave a quick rundown of the event, excitement included. Fast bobbed his head. "You showed those jerks what's what. I'm very proud of you." Fast smooched Silver, pressing her to the ground and hugging her. Silver surrendered to the affection, enjoying the sincere adoration that Fast provided until he drew back.
Silver sat up, wings fluttering. "More big news. I'm ready to become a stallion again."
Fast tilted his head. "You can do that?" Fast suddenly became female. "Awesome!"
Silver blinked softly. "Was... everyone around me waiting patiently for this?"
"Maybe."
"Yes."
"A little."
Spike waved a claw at the mess. "I don't get it. If you need me, I'll be in my room." And off he went with his bag of swag.
Silver looked around. "Well... since everyone's alright, there really isn't a reason to delay."
And a reason to delay appeared as Tumble wandered through the front door. "Anyone see... oh." He was looking at Fast. "I forgot you could do that."
Fast shook herself out. "I was originally a mare, actually, but I can do either, both, or neither. Does it bother you?"
Tumble squirmed a little. "A little?"
Fast snorted softly then pointed at Silver. "She's going back to a stallion, so I can be a mare again. I want to be plowed by that pony prod specifically."
Tumble went dark red, but looked at Silver as if trying to imagine her as a stallion instead of a fertile-looking mare. It wasn't easy for him. "But..."
Silver swallowed heavily, the last wall she had left in her sexual maze being threatened. She wanted to run away and hide, or to lash out and protect this last scrap from harm. As absurd as it might have been, she still felt laying with Tumble as a stallion was gay, and gay was bad. Ignore the fact that she'd been ridden as a mare, and rubbed mare parts together, or touched a stallion as a mare; those were as a mare. A mare can do those things. A stallion... Silver shrank back a little, visibly struggling with the notion. Fast bumped up against Silver's side, whispering in an ear. "None of us will think less of you. Do you love him?"
Did she love him? She looked at Tumble, who looked back at her with that confused expression. She... didn't... really love him. She thought he deserved to be loved. That was different. Could she love him? She frowned with thought and sagged to the ground with a flop. "I want Tumble as a friend, and as a guard. If we develop feelings, that will come later. I can't, and won't, promise love when I don't feel that right now."
Tumble gave a stiff little nod, then turned for the door. "I think I should get moving on."
Fast frowned. "What, like that?"
Tumble growled softly. "Yes, like that. It's... time I found my own stallion." He marched up to Fast and kissed either of her cheeks. "Thank you. You helped me a lot."
Fast smiled brightly. "You deserve it. You're adorable, nice, and not built bad either. Go get your stallion."
Tumble bobbed his head. "Exactly. I spent all this time waiting to be rescued... No more. I'm going to do it myself." He spun in place and marched out the door without looking back.
Silver wasn't sure how to feel. She rose up to her hooves and looked to the others. "Did I just fuck that up?"
Twilight frowned. "Language."
Fast shook her head. "He is growing, just like you. He'll find someone who has room for him and him alone, and he'll be happier for it. He needs a nice firm monogamous bond with another stud, not this mad house."
Night rolled her eyes. "Our mad house."
The guards out front shouted out. "Announcing the arrival of Princess Cadance, Celestia, and Luna."
Twilight blinked. "I only invited Cadance."
Invited or not, all three walked in with soft smiles. Cadance and Twilight met and did their little dance as Silver looked to the royal sisters. "Celestia, Luna, hello." Luna was beaming with obvious excitement. Celestia looked more reserved. Silver perked an ear at Celestia. "This is not an act of defiance, Celestia. I have learned a lot from my time as a mare."
Celestia leaned forward, ears alert. "Oh? So it was a good thing?"
Silver snorted. "The act was good, the means was not. You should have asked. I would have said yes. You look at me and see a horrible and potentially dangerous alien, but I look at you and see a mother that has lost her soft touch. I want to be a part of your kingdom, not harm it, or any single pony in it. I want to love you, and be loved."
Cadance turned towards them. "I do hope we are here to do some magic, not bicker."
Celestia nodded. "I will hold my peace, and lend my magic. You must understand, if the circle of princesses is akin to a herd, you are now volunteering to be its stallion. You will be quite prized, but also quite controlled and protected. You will be expected to give us foals as we demand it, as will be your duty."
Luna snorted softly. "I have seen his dreams. The idea of being requested to stand and deliver is no nightmare of his."
Silver glanced around and back at Celestia. "You... don't want Twilight now?"
Celestia colored softly. "I... we'll decide that when the time comes."
Cadance leaned in, whispering to Silver. "The prospect of a true alicorn stud is a dizzying one for her. Don't tease her about it." She coughed into a hoof. "Which reminds me. How dare you make this circle and not invite me!"
Twilight's expression fell. "I didn't... I thought... You're already married!"
Cadance pointed at Silver. "So is she. And?"
Celestia nodded at Cadance. "Will you join us, niece, as a unified front against all Equestria's enemies?"
Cadance brilliantly smiled. "It would be a pleasure. Now, how is this spell performed?"
Twilight got to work quickly, assembling the princesses in a circle with Silver in the middle. She gently nudged Fast and Night out of the circle, but they didn't go far.
Silver squirmed in a mixture of excitement and nervousness, trying to breathe calmly and let the magic happen. Twilight began playing magic and the others played with it, falling into sync together. She smiled. "Here we go. By my calculations, we should have more than enough magic. I planned on only two princesses."
With four present, the magic gathered swift and hot, becoming a boiling ball of plasma just over Silver's head that flashed with wild swirling colors of all the princesses. Dark blue, pink, gold and purple all gathered and fought as it grew larger and larger. "Silver, this is probably going to be very intense. Try to stay still. You should be perfectly safe."
Silver wondered at the word 'should' just a moment before the ball came down on her, and everything was lost. She felt like she was on fire at first, but the heat quickly absorbed into her body as raw power went to work inside of her. She lost something important within her, and sealed up, ceasing to be a her. The energy moved, descending as Silver transitioned past neuterdom to masculinity. With a deeper grunt, he bucked his hips in time for new parts to grow out, familiar parts. He expanded in size and power, almost as tall as Celestia, but not quite. He still had growing left to do. He felt... full, uncomfortably full, and a sensation he hadn't felt in some time. He wanted to do something with his parts. With a jump, he remembered what he had to do and suddenly moved for Twilight, who yelped and backed away from the large alicorn. "Twilight, you promised."
Twilight remembered as well, and flushed. "But..." Perhaps she didn't expect him to become as large as he had, but she had promised. That didn't mean... "Let's go upstairs." She fled up the stairs, with Silver following closely behind. She smelled... lovely, divine. He never wanted her more than that moment, and the time it took to get up the stairs were a sweet agony. The other princesses, along with Night and Fast, followed at a more sedate pace, and didn't try to gain entry when Twilight slammed the bedroom door shut.
Silver practically threw Twilight onto the bed, drawing a squeak from her. He wanted her, yesterday. He mounted her and held her tightly, and they rutted. It wasn't love making, not this time, but rather a deep animal rutting that persisted for quite some time. Not that he held back. They went from one crest to the next without pause, filling Twilight with the magic of the foal Silver wanted protected, and then so much more. Silver gave back all the magic he had in excess, the remnants of the massive spell, and Twilight became swollen with it. Unlike before, the swell was truly alive, housing the foal within her. It took the greater portion of an hour to fill Twilight, and they sagged to the sheets in exhausted euphoria.
As if they knew the deed was done, the door opened and many female faces peered in at the scene. Fast whistled sharply. "Damn girl. Did you leave any for us?"
Cadance snorted softly and turned for the exit. "I am no longer needed here." And she fled with a smile, apparently pleased with herself.
Silver extracted himself from Twilight and sat on the bed, facing the others. Their eyes were drawn to what he had pulled free of Twilight, not his face. He wasn't sure if he should be flattered, aroused, or annoyed.
Celestia broke the silence. "We will have to announce this, of course."
Luna nodded in agreement. "Of course. The kingdom will rejoice to know they have a prince, a true prince." She looked at Silver for the first time, in the eyes. "Are you pleased?"
Silver considered it. He felt... virile, and good. The thought that his foals were incubating in two of the mares in the room only made him more excited on some visceral level he was still struggling to understand. "I feel... excited."
"I can see that." Luna's eyes lowered a moment.
Night adjusted her glasses a moment, shuffling awkwardly. "Well... I suppose you have princesses to bed now."
Silver heard some bitterness in the tone and slipped from bed, approaching Night swiftly. She looked smaller, fragile... He reached for her and picked her up, biting at her neck with sharp fangs. "Dear first wife. I have not forgotten you. Bearer of my first foal, most cherished in all the land. The others will all glow green with envy knowing you are closest to my heart."
Night flushed and squirmed, pressing into the embrace. Silver could see that his words did make the others squirm, though he hoped there were no truly hard feelings there. He squeezed Night gently and ran his hooves slowly across her swollen belly, feeling light and giddy at the thought of his foal being within her. He suddenly jumped at a touch at his new organ. Fast had slipped in under him and was showing her strong approval. Silver wanted to object, but was carried away in waves of pleasure and soon sat back to let Fast work him over. Being the stallion of this large herd may yet have some advantages he had forgotten...
Growth is usually good and it seems his growth is being appreciated.
5979524 So many possible meanings.
I'm betting his fanbase is going to grow exponentially now. First it was the Lunar pegasi, now it'll draw in the stallions and all the drooling fangirls.
random idea, silver experiments with that wing spell that twilight used in that young flyers competition episode
It was a kindness silver did for tumble now the stallion is free to go find someone who he can be happy with and still have silver as a friend
It was definitely right of him to let Tumble go. I understand how he felt guilty over his own rejection of being a 'colt cuddler', but it was being true to himself and not just bigotry. In a sense I feel like a fear of being a bigot was pressuring him toward pretending to be what he is not.
As Fast said, Tumble needs his own stallion, not to be a part of the herd.
Though now he has no guards of his own. Will the IK fill that role? Or does he have some serious hiring of his own to do? I doubt becoming Equestria's first Prince will lower the need for protection, and his performance last time means he will not be underestimated again.
5979833 Butterfly wings for everyone!
our little Silver,,,no that is not right our Prince Silver Stars has grown up, the filly is safe Twilight is truly happy Night Wing now see ware she stands in the royal herd.
even Rough and Tumble has grown up and is much better for it. I am hoping R T can find a stallion to fill his hart and I am really hoping he comes back as I think he would make a perfect captain of the guard for the castle.
I get the feeling Luna and celestia are going to be vary demanding mars to keep happy in the bed room that is.
Cadance will like wise want a visit also.
one thing is bothering me. Silver has ben attacked in the past now as a stallion he will be a huge target.
the size growing larger he is a stallion now so yes that is needed after all the other princess are larger some how I cant see celestia looking for a steep stool. .
is Silver happy? I will say yes.
who will be the second princess to bare become pregnant? I don't thing I even need to say that answer or do I. he has tried with Luna in the past but I am thinking a nice twist would be cadence she is the princess of love a true love child with singings blessing after all silver and cadence do share a bond from silver saving her kingdom.
ok I am rambling agene.
exultant chapter the clop part is perfect as I find less is more.
Harts Fire.
PS I have a feeling the story is going to go in to quest mode now.
time for some trouble to befall Equestria and with Twilight now pregnant in a big way it will fall to silver to get the job dun.
Shouldn't that be "any more" sudden attacks or bouts of drama?
This should end with a question mark, rather than a period.
Silver found the word "odd coming" out of Twilight's mouth.
A "one-way" road (though that's usually "street").
Again, end that with a question mark.
Change "them" to "her."
Ignore the fact that "she'd" been ridden as a mare.
I'd also change that last comma to a semicolon.
Which reminds "me."
Will you join us "niece"?
Trying to "breathe" calmly.
Saying "swirled with wild swirling colors" is rather redundant. I'd change that first use of the word to something else, like "strobed" or "flashed."
Change "golden" to "gold." It's a noun here, not an adjective.
The second sentence is a fragment; I'd combine it with the first, so that it was something like "It wasn't love making, not this time, but rather a deep animal rutting that persisted for quite some time."
I'd change "spare" to "excess."
5980520 These typos are not fit for a prince, and have been executed. None will mourn them.
5980588 There's so much here I barely know where to begin. Really, this chapter was one of momentous importance, and as such it had quite a lot going on. With the main character undergoing such a major change, the impact of this decision cannot be overstated, and the resulting fallout - both among the secondary characters, and the setting as a whole - are just beginning.
One thing to note is that I'm going to stick to the feminine when talking about Silver in this chapter, just for the sake of eliminating confusion. Starting with the next chapter, I'll go back to referring to Silver as "he" instead of "she."
I imagine that people are expecting me to talk about what happened between Silver, Tumble, and Fast first, so I'll go ahead and get that out of the way. Simply put, I think that the entire exchange can be summarized by Silver's question after Tumble left, and I'll go ahead and answer that here: Yes, Silver, you fucked it up. Again.
Simply put, I flatly disagree with 5979996 and 5979989 regarding how that entire exchange can be characterized. That's because Silver is a bigot; we were told that flat-out in the story: "As absurd as it might have been, she still felt laying with Tumble as a stallion was gay, and gay was bad." Protip, Silver: When you're admitting that you think "gay is bad," you're admitting to prejudice. Silver quite clearly has no problem having sex with other males; she's just afraid of what it says about her if she does so while she herself is male. She's scared of being labeled as "gay." Her hesitancy has nothing to do with her sexual preferences, but rather than her male gender identity could be somehow impugned (hence why she thinks it's okay for mares to do "those things") - it's a fear without any rational basis, which is the most literal interpretation possible of "homophobia."
Compounding this is the fact that, while Silver may not truly feel romantic love for Tumble, that's largely attributable to the fact that she never gave herself a chance to let those feelings develop. Seriously, you can't blame someone for not having fallen in love with someone else, but you can indict them for never having given the other person a chance. How long did Silver spend with Night Watch and Fast Change in that dorm room before they realized that they were developing feelings for each other? How much time did they spend together, letting friendship slowly blossom into love? Weeks? Months? How much time was Silver spent with Tumble? One day when they were with Celine? Less than one day now, since the entire time-span from when Tumble became a guard to now was something like four days altogether, most of which was spent apart? Saying "I don't love you" when you haven't ever given that person a chance to grow in your heart is the height of disingenuousness.
But here's the thing: all of those points I just raised? None of them matter.
None of them matter because Silver was willing to try. I absolutely have to give her major props here, because Silver really was trying to rise above her own worst impulses here and give Tumble an honest chance at having a relationship with her, and that leads us to the one place where Silver truly did wrong: she mangled the message when she tried to tell Tumble that. Seriously, I can't believe just how badly her spoken words butchered her intent. She was trying to say "I want to try. I want us to explore, together, if we can fall in love." But instead, what came out of her mouth was entirely focused on the negative, on what she "can't" and "won't" do, on wanting him as a "friend and a guard," mentioning the possibility of love only as an unromantic, off-handed "if it happens, it'll be later." When you put it like that, is it any wonder that Tumble misheard the message?
And make no mistake, Tumble did misunderstand it. He, utterly unsurprisingly, took it as a full-on rejection, because that's how it sounded. You can see that in how he conducted himself in response - never once speaking to or looking at Silver, he immediately left the group, his words clipped, speaking of finding someone else; those things are what you say when you feel hurt and angry, which he clearly was. Fast had essentially abandoned him, which sent the message of "Yeah, I know you love me and all, but I'm going to stop being a member of your sexual preference. Sucks to be you!" Tumble just lost Fast, and then lost Silver again all at once. He tried to make it sound like he was moving on, but that's what you do when your heart, your pride, your hope that maybe things will finally work out for once, have been broken, and not for the first time either. Night and Fast were completely wrong - or worse, flat-out lying - when they said that Tumble had "grown" and "needed to go find himself." That's such crap; his pain was obvious...and so much worse for us to witness because we know that he didn't realize that Silver was trying to offer him a chance at what he wanted the most: to be with her.
What's more, this entire scenario showcased Silver's hypocrisy with regards to her subjects. She went on and on about wanting to make sure that becoming male again wouldn't alienate or upset the lunar population. But after all of that, her thoughts towards Tumble don't take into account the colt cuddler population? Male homosexuality is still an acceptable form of discrimination in Equestria, and Silver didn't even consider that by being with Tumble, she might be in a position to change that? So much for being concerned about her subjects!
Seriously, Silver needs to run after Tumble right now, say that she doesn't accept his resignation, and then restate her feelings in a much less negative fashion. I honestly can't see Tumble not responding to that; it's obvious, so painfully obvious, that he's never gotten over his first love. If Silver were to reiterate her message that she wants to try having a relationship with him, that she's willing to really give him a chance...then I can't see him saying no. He deserves that much. Instead, the story seems to be shaping up to offer us a bland "and then Tumble left the story to go find someone else, and since he did it of his own accord, Silver wasn't morally culpable in any way. The end (of Rough Tumble's presence in this fic)." Needless to say, I find that very unsatisfying.
...so having said all of that, what else can be said with regards to this chapter?
Well, it was nice to see Silver returning to male form! That's doubly true since she figured out a rather intuitive way to not only save her foal, but hopefully give it a new chance to incarnate in a physical body. It's unclear if Twilight is carrying her foal the way a normal mother would, or if it's still diffuse, but either way it's nice that such an elegant solution was found to that problem. That really seems like a symbolic announcement that Silver has completely regained her masculine identity. That, and the intense sexy fun times that Silver had putting it in her (double entendre intended).
Indeed, it seems like, for the foreseeable future, the various mares in her herd/circle are going to be spending quite a bit of time showing their appreciation for Silver's return to stallionhood. Twilight might be satisfied for the moment, but the array of eager faces (that were quite clearly listening outside the door) made it quite clear that Silver is about to have a seriously-intense second honeymoon...apparently right now, since Fast was quite content to have her own go at her restored husband right there in front of everyone. Heck, with how things were progressing, I'm amazed that a fight didn't break out right there for who got to be next.
So Silver gets to live the classic male fantasy, having a harem of beautiful, eager females. It'll be interesting to see what sort of agency Silver is tasked with once the near-constant sex finally subsides and she (remember, I'm sticking with the feminine form for this review) finally gets around to the business of governing. After all, being tasked as nothing more than "royal baby-maker" is a rather degrading position...and that's essentially what Celestia was saying Silver would be now. Clearly, Silver needs to spend some time showing her who's the boss (and yes, I mean that in a very lewd way). Equestria is a very matriarchal society, but Silver is in a position to change that should she feel so inclined. After all, she still has her own ideas about how males should act, and since satisfying your women is one of those, the other is going to be being powerful and protective of them (something I suspect Luna will absolutely melt for), especially when they're pregnant.
Speaking of which, it was quite clear that no one there quite understood the full implications of Cadance joining the circle. One can only imagine how Silver (and Twilight) will react when she mentions that she wants a child of her own. I hope that some spotlight will be given to what this is doing to her marriage; that kind of character drama is pure gold, because it's a situation where there are no true bad guys, but hurt feelings may still abound. That and I can't see Shining Armor being happy with that development, even if he completely understands. Knowing that some (more powerful, more special) guy is nailing your wife and knocking her up is a huge blow to the ego. I don't think Silver is going to look Shining Armor in the eye and smirk while plowing his wife, but that's about the only way it could be more humiliating for Twilight's brother.
It was also nice to see Night's continued insecurity be mentioned. I question the wisdom of Silver flat-out saying "I love you most of all" in front of the others (especially Luna), but there's a necessarily-utilitarian aspect to a herd/circle this large, so it seems to be okay. Hopefully Silver will remember that it's not just fear of "I'm not good enough" that's driving Night, but also that she's at a low ebb because she's rapidly becoming too pregnant to work...speaking of which, how's that road coming along, I wonder? Hopefully Fast will keep her company and remind Night that they're both still special, even if they're not alicorns.
Also, one can only imagine how the nobility will react to this news. We haven't gotten anything in the way of how they're going to deal with the legalities of the circle. Maybe it's time to bring that particular topic back into play?
Overall, a very powerful and dramatic chapter, and clearly one of the very best for that reason!
5980752 I'm not sure any of the ponies present could decipher the mangled messages going between Silver and Tumble, save perhaps Celestia, and she is unlikely to speak out about it in any great depth or detail with other things distracting her as they are. Night might have noticed if she wasn't busy having her own feels. Silver obviously didn't 'get it', and the rest are pretty clueless at subtle nuance of the sort.
I do think Silver has gone out on a limb quite a number of times in this regard. Of all the things he's done right and wrong, saying 'man, you aren't open enough sexually' makes me giggle in the thought of it, even if the line he drew in the sand is entirely in his head, it's the one line he has left in a vast sea of options. He hasn't considered trying to champion colt cuddlers, but would likely get real nervous about doing so. He is from Earth, America specifically. Is that really a cause he's eager to get in the middle of? Could trying to champion it compromise all his other battles?
Surely it deserves a champion, but it may not be Silver. Bad enough he's already the first of too many things. First lunar royalty, and first prince... When does it go from innovator to just plain freak?
Luna is not challenged by Night Watch. Luna is confident she can order Night Watch aside at any moment, and Night would waddle out of the way. Luna also likes Night a lot. In a lot of ways, Night is the shared possession of herself and Silver, and his proclamation of adoration for her is cute, rather than threatening.
Fast knows what's up, and how to play Silver like a fiddle. She's going to get her needs met, no matter what odd words spill out of his foolish snout, and he'll thank her for it. She was never Silver's first choice, she literally forced her way into the herd, and she's alright with that. Silver shows his love for her physically, and she is entirely fine with that mode of expression.
You'll note Cadance excused herself after everything was said and done, and made no attempt to get 'first dibs'. She has a husband to gently speak to before it ever comes up. She's unlikely to bring it up until he's given his approval. Hurting her precious Shining is not an acceptable price for a foal.
Phew, quite a chapter! To think some folks didn't wait around after Silver lost his bits originally.
Yay happiness. And also. Sex erryday
I think a couple of chapters ago the foal was a "he" when Silver managed to summon it for a moment.
lame. really lame. 'twas better with him as princess. there seemed to be more depth in siilver after she became a she. normally i am not for romance stories where a stallion gets turned to a mare and is like"whee!i want babies!" but you had pulled it off to a stunning extent. now he is a prince?l ame.
6281715 Amusingly, there were no few people who quit the story in an angry tirade when he became a she.
I hadn't considered this possibility. Clever, also nice to have him back as a him.
And now you once again claim that Silver's foal with Twilight is female, despite calling it male last time it was brought up...
6613145 All fixed. We'd combed through this before, hmm. The typos are growing more clever.
were
Probably should read foals were
Again you pulled a result out of left field I didn't expect but a good one.(Twilight: What have I done to me now?)

HAHAHAHAHAHA (foll's out of char) OWWWWWW Bloody hill
I suggest "each." "Either" just... doesn't have quite the right connotations - like he's picking one at random.
As to the rest... I'm going to go home, curl up in the corner, and stop trying to comment on the already-written future chapters. My reactions keep inadvertently predicting things!
P.S. I'm ecstatic that Twilight did indeed get thoroughly foal-injected. The way that scene played out could make for such a good side story, if you know what I mean. As is, they way it played out was hilarious.

Yay silver is a stalion again
I'll be honest I Skipped every chapter until he was male again. Sorry- i ain't up for no bullshit of changing genders.
This story has a staggering amount of on-screen sex to be rated teen.
I feel really bad for Tumble.
Smoothly written Cinemax scene
It's spelled niece
