CoffeeBean


There goes my hero.

T

Working mornings was a thing Tea Leaf had initially hated. Dragging yourself from bed to the showers at 5 in the morning to help open the doors at Tip-Top's Cafe in downtown Canterlot was a less-than-ideal situation for most, but she had come to enjoy it for a single reason; a regular of the Cafe by the name of Fleur De Lis. Sure; there were other regulars, but she stood out from the crowd in many ways than one. Their little chats held as Steam Wand, her partner in coffee and tea related crime, prepared Fleur De Lis' typical order had come to be the thing she waked for; the rest of her shift and University afterwards were merely side-effects.

>Released the first chapter 1 day ago
>Already on Hiatus
That was fast

7663145 Upon 2 seconds of googling, I now see my mis-use of the 'hiatus' tag.

oops

Romance? Fleur Di Lis? Great writing?

7663184 I... what is your comment supposed to mean?

7663186

Check out the proper spelling of her name.

It's weird, no?

7663202 Yes, I know the 'proper way'. I didn't use it because I've seen many people not use it, and the tag on Fim Fic doesn't use it. I'm not going to ctrl+f the entire story and replace every line of her name with the 'proper way'.

Yay. A new story!

7663202 Sorry, my last post came off as a little dick-ish. I was assuming you'd want me to change it... sorry m8

7663224

No worries, mang. I just think it is super weird that they changed it to that. IIRC, they did it for copyright reasons.

7663232 Makes sense they did it for the copyright. Still makes phonetic nonsense out of a name that actually has sense, however.

How long will this be

7663994 There'll only be one more chapter, and said chapter will be about 6000 to 7000 words.

Heh. Not bad so far.

On mobile, so I'll leave a better comment later. This deserves as much.

~Skeeter The Lurker

Really enjoying this. Hope to see more.

7664194 Chapter 2 will be done at some point. It's going to be quite a large one; about 7000 words, I estimate.

I would like to point out that Fleur will be as straight as cooked pasta by the end of this.

Hot, wet, dripping, hanging limply from Tea's lips as she slurps away.

7664224 Actually... you'll be a little surprised by the fact your statement isn't very true.

Is it just me, or does Fluer look kind of like young Celestia?

Steam chuckled lightly, "If you don't lean towards mares, then you don't lean towards mares."
"If I told her no, I'm sure it would crush her... and I don't want to hurt her or do anything to ruin our friendship..."
"You could just kiss her."

Uh... no Steam. That would still be giving false hope and affection, and thus still a very bad idea.

Nice chapter.

>titled "The Usual"
>has nothing to do with the Ponyville Day Spa
It's a travesty!
:rainbowwild:

Grats on the feature, dude.

how many chapters will there be?

Few grammatical errors but it hardly breaks the flow. Keep writing this.

7664653 Because of how things have been, I do most of my writing on a phone (not kidding about 80 percent of this was written on a mobile), so errors with spelling and double-added words would be fairly prevalent.

7664327 Steam isn't very good with relationships...

on general basis i love Fleur, one of my most favorite fic's is about Fleur
so far this fic has potential and i will wait and see how it develops

7665393 Well, I hope chapter doesn't disappoint when I publish it!

This will either go wonderfully right... or terribly wrong. :trollestia:

7772795 You'll find out soon enough. I'm re-kindling this story. I have edited chapter 1 a little, and I'm continuing work on chapter 2. Expect it within the next week or so!

7863851 plot related edits or just grammar?

Fleur simply smiled as she began to shred the mozzarella. She couldn't decide of Tea Leaf was truly strapped for time, or if she was dodging her advances.

Woot, heartwarming little story with a happy ending for all. How about a alternative heartbreak version? :trollestia:

7873415 Funny enough, I already fixed that problem.

As for a heartbreak version... why tho?

7873416 because im a sadistic little s**t ? :trollestia:

I was mostly kidding though, love it the way it is, am a sucker for happy endings. :twilightblush:

7873441 I am both of those things, as well.

Enjoyed the fic and feel sorry that it ended

7874581 :twilightsmile: It was a nice little thing, wasn't it? I too feel like this story could go on for another 2 chapters or so, but I always like cutting myself short. It keeps things from going stale.

Fleur, what have you gotten yourself into? :rainbowderp: Great read so far. :twilightsmile: Really like the pace(?) of the story. Keep up the good work. :twilightsheepish:

7874585 still would be interesting to see fancy and his reaction and the relationship itself develop a little bit more

7874751 Thanks! And, thanks for all the favoriting and the follow!

Absolutely fantastic. Worth the wait.

7875441 :twilightsmile::twilightsmile: So glad you finally got around to checking out the new chapter! I was hoping you'd like it.

Finally Fleur de Lis has come back to Tea Leaf!!!

Loved this story from the beginning and I loved the ending! Nice work, mate!

Stay awesome!

7873441 Isn't that the fun thing about being an author? We can be... very sadistic sometimes. :rainbowlaugh:

As for this story... this is quite a story to gain inspiration from. Especially when learning about the trick of showing (or in this case showing the emotions before this type of scene) without having to delve into an explicit act itself. Tea Leaf was adorable and so was Fleur. Plus being a story with a romantic story so... nice, it was really a good break from all the other... shameless clopfics out there. XD I really loved this story and also was inspired, per say, about how emotions shown is much better than a... sex scene. Good job Coffee Bean! Thanks for a nice and happy ending.

7878626 Goodness, that made me happy. Thank you for commenting, and I'm glad you liked the story! I'm also happy to see my choice of not writing a sex scene paid off. I found it a lot more... intriguing to simply read Fleur's recollection of it rather than actually seeing it.

Clop gets boring after you write it like 4 times...

This story was a break for me, as well. I finished chapter 2 right after I finished up a huge, emotional fic that had been draining me for the past like 2 months, so it was nice to actually write something and not feel horrible while doing it.

7878652 Hahahaha! You're welcome. And I understand that feeling. The stories I write... do sometimes make me feel like I'm or am, a little bit sadistic with my characters. XD (Then again I don't know when I've written a happy one. One story series literally has three bitter sweet endings. The romance one I was speaking about does have that... somewhat hopeful ending to it since its first and only sequel is being written).

So I understand you completely when sad stuff tires you out. I've done that three times. :rainbowlaugh: And yeah, after having read this. I might end up going with just showing the emotions of said scene without adding the sex. At least I'm more assured about doing it. But yeah, all in all, good job.
