It makes me so happy to see an update to this story!
And of course, as time passes there will be different disagreements and shortcomings that come to light in every relationship. So of course Rarity and Atchmon will be finding themselves arguing/fighting weeks and months after getting together. The problems that arose in the first week or two might be resolved, but as they spend more time with each other it's inevitable that problems/arguments will still happen. It's bringing to light newly discovered facets of their relationship. So while you may think this dynamic between them might be getting old, I see it as further explorations into a still developing relationship between two beings who are lost and still coming to grips about what they really mean to one another.
but there was still and ever present ache
And to an.
Hopefully Rarity's actions in this chapter don't haunt her. She did what she needed to do.
And she really needs to destress herself. She can't have Atchmon unknowingly help her with that, especially if it's never to completion.
I'm pretty sure I'd upset A LOT of people, if Rarity ended up with anything permanent. Nah, I just wanted her to freak out over nothing, like I'm sure she would!
8416098 I'm glad so many enjoyed this chapter for that very reason! After reading through it countless times, I eventually forget why I thought it would be a good idea to begin with.
8416417 I know! I wanted to make a gritty chapter, and I worried too much on what others would think, that I forgot about all the things that made it good!
8416972 I know the feeling, or at least something similar to it. I'm always second guessing myself whenever I try to compose anything longer than a few paragraphs, editing it to the point that I sometimes have to sit back and ask myself "what was I originally trying to say again?".
Although, that might just be due to my inner grammar nazi perfectionist taking the wheel whenever I try to post something while exhausted... Like I am right now.
8416705 Sorry about the long wait, the next chapter will be up within the next week, after I go through it once more to be sure I dont have any fresh ideas pop up! I've had it mostly completed months before I finally settled on the ideas for Bad Company.
I fully intend to finish this thing. And make a sequel after it!
8416417 That's what I did wrong. I forgot to read ALL the way through it to see how it flowed. Man its better than I imagined. It still hurts my brain knowing there was about a half dozen directions I was trying to go before settling on one!
a vary vary good chapter super slice of life. some how i feel some ware in the next 2 or 3 chapter this story will be earning one of the tags placed on it.
Unless Rarity is being a drama queen when she refers to being in the everfree for weeks. Or it HAS been weeks, but then why would her leg have been mostly healed after only a week, when Applejack injured it during the portal incident?
I pretty much lost all sympathy for Rarity when she kicked him in the balls this chapter. Also kinda hard to believe the 'reversed gender roles' aspect of this story when she's acting like a typical woman and striking him.
"Margaret Honeysuckle. She broke my h-heart. AHhahaha!" he finished with a barely contained chuckle, and could only hold back for a moment, before he burst out laughing.
"Why can't she just take care of herself!? I was doing just fine on my own! Why couldn't he do the same!? Why did it have to be me!? Why did I have to take care of everything!?"
So which is it, she or he? :P
"-gelding!
Missing a quote... also that whole bit with the quotes there is a little confusing at times to figure out who is talking. In fact, it took me until later on when they talked about gelding again to realize what Rarity had done earlier, and this is the first time in the chapter the word gelding is even used.
"Okay..." she sighed in relief. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to kick you there ! I was afraid I really did turn you into a- gelding..." she said bashfully, while tapping her hooves together and laying her ears back in shame.
Wait Oh god, did she kick him in the jewels? *wince*
U know, scorplion is a good alternate name to manticore

You would think with his knowledge of plants that he would have a very healthy stock of Yarrow for emergency poultices.
Might want to tighten this chapter up.

Yup! Exactly what I had in mind.

That's a Jaws reference isn't it? 😁

Yep! XP
Jaws movie reference
Nice! I loved that scene
So which is it, she or he? :P

I've had pretty much zero sympathy for the cunt the entire story. I feel he should have cooked an eaten Rarity first chance he had.
I recall a fic where Scootaloo was feeling down over her being "broken" and Rarity cheering her up by teaching her about kintsugi.
Wait
Oh god, did she kick him in the jewels?
*wince*

With her saddlebags gone, the dreamcatcher Atchmon made from her hair shouldn't keep Luna from trying to find her again....
....assuming Luna wasn't permanently trapped in the dreamcatcher....
....oooooh, we may have bigger problems aside from Rarity being stuck out in the middle of the Everfree...
