It's called garbage can, not garbage can't.

T

Whilst attending the opening night of an art exhibition, Princess Luna notices Celestia spending an above average time with a wealthy patron of the arts. She makes it her business to find out what makes this stallion so special, and why Celestia seems to very awkward around him.

My first foray into straight shipping, I guess. Teen for sexual themes.

6089071 Gotta' risk it to win it. I'm confident I've written it to a satisfactory level, so hopefully that'll survive the inevitable shitstorm that follows a weird pairing, eh?

Fancy Pants is best Canterlot pony. I'll be checking this one in a little bit. :twilightsmile:

6089162 He is. Hope you halfway enjoy it.

6089213 I did read it and I more than half enjoyed it! I thought it was a fun little piece, and I especially liked Silver Cup playing the patient, dutiful butler. Good luck to Luna setting up her sister with "Algernon." Maybe she should get him some flowers...

I bet by the end both Celestia and Luna will be in Algernon's metaphorical Hooves. if not then I'll get a laugh from Luna changing around Celestia's court to give her sister time to court a romantic interest.

6092296 I think what will come will surprise you, then. In any case, we shall see.

Surprisingly entertaining. Lets see where you take it.

Hmmm! What if the following happened before that episode where Rarity met Fancy Pants?

Luna: "Hmm! Yes that's the one,... regal yet vague,.. the perfect cutiemark for her!"
Celestia: "[Waking up] Zzz, snort Uhh? Whaa? Cutie..mark?"
Luna: "Just finishing your disguise sister... You get to play with Fancy Pants and I get to rule in your place!"
Celestia: "[Looks in mirror] My wings! My mane!... What's that on my flank?"
Luna: "Your new cutiemark sister,... or should I say 'Fleur de Les'?"

Oh hey, another chapter. I wasn't expecting that, for some reason. CONTINUE!

6095944 I like to defy expectations whenever possible.

6095924 I'd read that.

Off on a good start.
One question... Does this story involve the "Herd" concept?

6096033 No. I don't really like the herd concept. I don't feature it in any of my stories.

I hope the story ends as well as it starts, then.

6096078
OH THANK GOD!

To anyone that reading this comment...
Don't get me wrong... But that concept idea is... Kinda dumb...

Fancy Pants: Vinyl's dad. Yeah, okay, that's an interesting take.

Wonder what Celestia's got in mind to show Luna. Perhaps a tale of coltfriends through the ages?

So Luna and vinyl have joined forces! Cool, I wonder what the Reval will show.

6096980 Yeah. I agree.

You're safe from it with me, at least.

6097139 Well, I mean, they've both got... blue manes. And they're white. And they're unicorns. Liek, the headcanon writes itself at this point.

6098578 Oh yeah, I got it. I wasn't being sarcastic either: I really do think it's interesting. Thinking of bringing in Vinyl's purported brother, 33â…“-LP?

6098826 I wasn't going to. I just don't really think he'd serve much purpose in this story, adorable though the picture of him and Vinyl is.

I swear, my heart exploded twice when I saw that picture in the comics. I had to put it down for five minutes and leave the room before I could keep reading. No joke.

6098849 I saw that page and showed it to my buddy and he actually pointed out that Vinyl's cutie mark is appearing there. I couldn't believe I missed that, but it really has made me wonder more about those two as siblings. Ah well, another time, another story!

Curse you, Luna! Not WINE!

6102584 I know, right?

Beer is obviously the superior drink.

6102598 LUNA IS WORST PRINCESS

I have to say, you've really nailed the Luna as seen in the comics personality. Cook and Price would be proud

So, wait... it's over? That ended rather... abruptly.

Still, it was highly enjoyable while it lasted. :twilightsmile:

6102679 Perhaps. Endings are hard.

That said, abrupt or no, I think the story is definitely complete. Luna's more comfortable with her knowledge about her sister, Celestia's rid of a meddlesome Luna and is free to pursue her own life, and Vinyl's relationship with Octavia has evolved somewhat. Not to mention, friends were made (except perhaps in Vinyl's case).

I'm glad you like Luna, though. She was the most fun to write, and I definitely drew inspiration from the comics. I'm glad that came through.

Well, this was fun, and I particularly liked this chapter's exploration of Celestia's past loves. (And a daughter? That's something you don't often see in these kinds of stories.)

Thanks for the fun story, Hap. I hope we get to see more of these intimate little portraits.

Buck beer, Whiskey and Rum in da house.

6104473 Possibly one or two. I like this kind of short character-y thing.

Very cute story.

"It shall be an old fashioned wine tasting!" Luna exclaimed.

I can't help but think that an "old fashioned" wine tasting will be more to Vinyl's taste than Octavia's. Lots of chugging and throwing glasses on the floor, that sort of thing.

6301814 One does not swallow at an extra fru-fru wine tasting, unfortunately.

Defeats the purpose, in my opinion. But there you go.

6301817 I was aiming for a joke, but I guess my delivery fell flat. My idea was that maybe Luna is much older than the conventions of "an extra fru-fru wine tasting", so what she was planning was something a lot less refined.

6302648 Ooh. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

"Flowers for you," he said, and held out a large and elegant bouquet of perfect, snow-white roses. Celestia widened her eyes. "From Algernon."

Damn you. I hated that book in middle school

8844716 Sweet. Also glad you enjoyed it. : )

Ah, it's so good! :pinkiehappy:
The interactions between Luna, Celestia and Fancypants are gold. Also, I like your butler OC.

Fancy grinned. "Not today, I hope. Now then," he said, picking the paper up again. "...Despite your unwelcome interference, I shan't look a gift horse in the mouth. Let's take a look, shall we?" He browsed the list once again.

Wait, that is a human phrase, but what does that mean for ponies? IS A GIFT HORSE A PONY TERM FOR A SLAVE?!? :twilightoops:
Wait, this has a Romance tag, not a Dark tag. I'm overreacting. :twilightblush:
On a different note, I enjoy the headcanon that Fancy is Vinyl's dad.

What a delightful little tale of romance and whimsy!
Jolly good show, old chum! :moustache:

9563217 Cheers man. Always nice to see one of the older stories get some love. : )
