I get that it's the conceit for this kinda semi-love-triangle thing, but you'd think the Princess of Love would actually know how love works.
Sure they may "truly" love the one that makes the most drama now, but with some effort and actually wanting to get the greatest joy out of the love that actually works, they could easily get the best out of the situation. Even if it hurts for a little bit. Dunno why she sounds so damn defeatist.
Also, weird as it is, it's a good thing Trixie is there. Twilight REALLY needs to get laid with somebody that wasn't an important part of her formative years.
I can pick the exact moment that this chapter disappoints me.
"Twilie, I- We can't. We shouldn't," he protested. She looked hurt, at first. But her emotional disappointment gave way to her cunning mind.
I didn't like that it glossed over Twilight and Cadence's relationship, but I understand the desire to trim the fat. It still hurt the flow, but I understand why it happened. This banter between the two siblings however takes an immediate one eighty. Where it was once tender and loving, it takes a break neck stop and Twilight tries the seduction angle instead. What, were conflicting feelings on love, third-wheel relationships, and incest not enough to work with? I can feel where the mood suddenly shifts at this exact point. It's like that "Well, emotions are over. Time to get to the fucking." moment. The following dialog only felt like it was part of the routine that leads to sex. Killed it for me. Yeah, Trixie is likely going to come in so there's no longer a third wheel, but it feels false to raise drama and then immediately shoot it down.
This chapter is where the fic drops even the slightest pretense of subtlety and turns straight-out homage to Winter's Child. Then it drops that and runs off the nearest cliff straight into TwiShinCadTrix four-way (setup).
OMG that ending! And the author note at the end is SO FITTING. TOO FITTING

Something tells me little armor is going to be passed around... A lot.
This whole chapter was just one big case of Déjà-vu. Was this intentional or a coincidence? Nevertheless it is a nice chapter.
And then there's the ending...38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0q1bwqvIs1rqnbfjo1_250.gif
