Remember, thee/thou is actually the informal second-person pronoun. At the start, Elderberry should probably be using "you" with Brimstone. And then there's moments like "You'll hurt thyself!" Granted, it's clearly the diction to use, given how the modern Pies still employ it, but there are flubs here and there.

The doll scene was cute, but I hope Obsidian is careful with it. It is made of volcanic glass. Also, I quite like Paul, but I'm a sucker for amorphous, chaotic masses of flesh.

You could've introduced demonic clairvoyance earlier, perhaps an off-handed reference during the contract renegotiation. ("Look, Lord Sedah writes all of these out ahead of time. Do you know how much of a headache a clairvoyant gets when his predictions are wrong? And believe me, the last thing any of us want is to get him in a bad mood.")

Still in all, certainly an interesting way to explain the Pie family weirdness, including the sisters' extreme temperaments. After all, demons aren't exactly known for being pillars of emotional stability and restraint. I wonder if they still know about their Tartaran forebear.

Actually, I wrote this story such that all of the ponies spoke Old English, while the non-pony characters speak normally. I'm somewhat shocked you didn't notice. Glad you liked it, though!
