Octavia Melody is a pony that looks only for her own personal gain. She’s skilled in diplomacy and relations alike, and through years of hard work and determination, she's beginning to meet her aspiration of being truly influential.
Enter Fancy Pants: Everypony has a different story about him, but they never seem to match up. Some ponies call him a benevolent and giving stallion, others say that he is deeply corrupt and as devious as they come. Some conspirators even suggest that his ambitions reach as high as the throne itself.
At a summit in Manehatten, the pair cross paths for the first time.
A oneshot that may expand into a full story. Big thanks to Coffee for offering his thoughts and helping me to brainstorm.
Chapters (1)
What really sells this story is the way the character's interact, and how the author leaves little tidbits of information between the dialogue. It's like adding spice to a dish, making the ambrosia of flavor intensify.
I can not stress enough how much I enjoy this work, and think It's the strongest story you have written thus far. Keep up the good work, man!
I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of this! A slow burn rare pair is always good.
