A guy. A guy who writes stories. Stories about ponies. (And sometimes robots).
Over the course of her adventures, Daring Do has faced all sorts of monsters and villains-- but during a routine visit to a Saddle Arabian bazaar, she finds herself confronted by two unicorn brothers with a terrible thing: a business proposition.
Written for the Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo! Very (very) vaguely based on the work of Impossible Numbers' Horse Apple Turnover as well as his Daring Do stories like Jungle Tricks.

I do love seeing punch-clock nemeses. Just because you're locked in a struggle for the relics of countless lost civilizations doesn't mean you can't be civil to one another. Still, thank goodness Ahuizotl didn't show up...
In any case, a lovely tale and some fantastically voiced Flimflams. Thank you for it.
I love this. They're enemies, certainly, but they're PROFESSIONALS about it. No sense in being unnecessarily uncivil.
But the question remains: where is the crown?
Loosely based, he says, and yet Daring here is clearly not up-to-speed with "modern marketing" i.e. Flim Flam shenanigans. Not too different from her out-of-touch wild persona in Jungle Tricks.
The voicing of the Flim Flam brothers in this easily outclasses the same in my own original fic, and nails that fast-talking, untouchably adaptable smugness. And of course their particular scheme this time is pretty much exactly how I'd imagine Daring Do would stumble across them.
Tradewind is a great name for your OC. I know you mentioned having difficulty coming up with that, but it's so apt I think that's time well-spent!
Also liked the talk between Daring Do and Doctor Caballeron. I can't add much more than what everyone else has said so far, but it's just so amusing to see the adventurers turn on these con artists and act civilly towards each other.
All in all, a charming bit of silliness. A like and a fave from me.
Your dialog for Flim and Flam is superb. I also like how even Dr. Caballeron has standards. I guess Flim and Flam probably have standards too, just not when it comes to ancient relics.
Very clever. You know, all this needs now is Flash Sentry and Carrot Top showing up. :D
This was superb. Everything about this was great: Daring herself, Tradewind (the Sallah to Daring's Indiana Jones, maybe? XD), the Flim-Flam Bros. were hysterical, and Caballeron was a great addition too. Love how he and Daring can be professional with each other when they're not dealing with treasure hunts and all. XD
There are times where I wonder how many stories like this slip under the radar and don't quite hit "Popular" to be devoured by fans.
This is one of those stories.
I believe people actually ship the two of them
