If there's something Daring Do hates, it's fancy Hearth's Warming parties.
If there's something Daring Do loves, it's saving the world.
Combine the two, watch how long she lasts.

Dang, the full image of that cover art is really well done.
I'm confused, what makes that one pun so much worse than every other one?
Yippie-ki-yay motherbucker.
I am going to have to read this later.
Of all the things, this is the best one.
I enjoyed the side-kick banter between Luna and Sugar. Absolutely great!
Brace yourself feature box.
Aragon is coming.

The others are, at least, somewhat original. As in, Caballeron thought about them and all.
"Ice meeting you", on the othe rhand, is the bottom of the barrel of ice puns. Everybody and their mothers have done it. Daring, her job being what it is, takes puns seriously.

Nah, not happening. I appreciate the sentiment, though!
This was exactly what I was excited for when I saw you'd published a new story.
Thank you so much man. I needed a great laugh.
You're the best Secret Santa ever!
A mare of intrigue, she lives for the thrill.
Always has places to go, and ponies to kill.
Danger is the game she plays, and she holds every card.
'Cause if you wanna win, you gotta fly hard.
A mare of the world, so suave and so smooth.
She trips over the stallions piled up at her hooves.
But evil is lurking, so she is always on her guard.
'Cause if you are gonna fly, you better fly hard.
She is always there when the chips are beginning to fall.
She would not care if they kicked her and grabbed her
And shot her and stabbed her
And nailed both her wings to the wall.
Facing death every day is a tough job for any mare.
But her hours are flexible, and she has got great dental care.
By the way, if you walked in late,
Allow me to reiterate:
The name of this fan fic is "Fly Hard".
They call it "Fly Hard".
You are reading "Fly Hard".
It is the theme from "Fly Hard"!
And now, to actually read the damn thing.
There seems to be a word missing between these.
"Very" may be better here.
That is the kind of talk that gets a pony visited by four ghosts. It was four. Do not forget about Marley. Or should I say Mare-ley?
"The Only"? That is an odd title.
Being useless as bloody ever. I mean, come on, what is the point of them anyway?
There is only one, now?
Aw, snap, Sugar Song is River Song.
They are bigger on the inside!
Unless he is inside of the cloud instead of atop it, "in" should be "on".
This sentence may be pregnant because it did not get its period. I will continue to make that joke until the day I die.
When you are holding swords in a magical grip, all this dodging and whatnot seems pointless.
Ah, the self-references. This would not be an Aragon story without them.
Yeah, and you stopped to gloat instead of killing her, so you are both stupid.
Missing space.
Well, this was fun. I am glad I read it.
By the way, if you walked in late,
Allow me to reiterate:
The name of this fan fic was "Fly Hard".
They called it "Fly Hard".
You just read "Fly Hard".
It was the theme from "Fly Hard"!
~KBO.
Found The Librarian and the Quest for the Spear reference.

An accidental reference, though! I'm afraid I'd never heard of that movie before you commented on the story. The line is actually a reference to the story's very first paragraph.
oh boy this was fun
Before reading:
Another story from Aragon?
Guess I'd better put on some pants.
After reading:
I'm glad I was wearing pants for this one because otherwise my chair might have been ruined after that one moment when. She. Swung. On the chandelier.
Hee hee. This should be more popular than it is.
"you're daring done"
im gonna, stab you
another epic story i knew i saw the die hard refrance in the title thanks for recomending it
The way this is written makes it sound like what Last Laugh said is forcing Song to step back.
I came here for the puns. I was not disappointed.
Good work, you brilliant, authory person, you!
Oh god, I HAVE to read something this obviously pun-filled.
Heheh, very nicely done (or perhaps icely done? Eh eh??? No? Okay then moving on). A wonderful spin on the old pulp adventure style story with more than the daily recommended dose of wit. Can't wait to read your other works!
Wonderful! This had me laughing out loud in a couple of places and grinning through most of it! Instant headcanon!

Yippie-ki-yay, party-pooper.
I love the dynamic between these two. Sugar Song so needs to be canon!
I don't even know why I was so entertained by this...but I definitely was...even if there was a bit of "what the heck did I just read" in there.
IIIIIIIII'M GONNA SWIIIING! FROM THE CHANDELIIIER! FROM THE CHANDELIIIEEER!
Ridiculous, over the top, absurd, and so so SO damn fun.
This needs a sequel.
6906900 I'd say that pun was like my steak... Well-done

So... all appropriate curses directed toward automatic spell-checkers but the underlined word there is meant to be feint.
You're a maniac. :D
Found a thing. :B
That's one of the things I love about your writing.
You use these little descriptive bits -- an amusing turn of phrase added in much the same way that the fancy chef sprinkles his salt -- and then you revisit that turn of phrase.
It's like your head is a conspiracy-theorist's corkboard in the best possible way.

NGL the fact that you clearly come back to this story and re-read it every few months is funnier than anything I've ever written. But, like, in a good way. I appreciate it!
Also yeah all my stories are full of details like that. This story alone has like a million -- so it's neat to see that people actually catch them!

One of the advantages to having the memory of a dead goldfish is that I can enjoy a good story multiple times and regularly discover something I'd not noticed or failed to properly appreciate the first time.
(Truth be told my memory's not quite as bad as that, but I'm rather fond of exaggeration.)
Daring's "narration face" is something I never knew I needed, but now desperately desire in everything
From atop his magic cloud, Doctor Caballeron crowed triumphantly, "My dear Daring, it's the rule of cool!"
Sugar Song spat out her champagne and nearly tripped over her own hooves in shock. "Bastard! Was that a layered pun?"
Last Laugh wiped away a proud tear with his hoof as he deflected Sugar's rapier into a nearby table. "I'm so proud of him," he said proudly.
I don't know exactly what qualifies as a layered pun, but I think the 'rule of cool' bit qualifies. I'm very pleased with myself about it.
I'd forgotten that bit with the hammer. It reminds me of those people in the Star Wars universe who'd just use shotguns when fighting Jedi. "Parry this, you casual."
Hello! Have a review. And a like. And a favourite. It was great to catch up with Daring and Sugar again (I read Evil is Easy... before this) and once again I had a whale of a time. Caballeron was immense fun, too.
