Limestone Pie is more than a little annoyed to discover a budding archaeologist wants to try her luck at their rock farm, but nevertheless takes it upon herself to look after the kid. And to make sure she stays the hell away from Holder's Boulder.
Entry for Writeoff FiM Short Story Round, Event 87. Prompt: The Other Side.
Ah, what a delightful slice of life. Great casting used well. Fun and light but with lots of resonance between the characters.
You’ve earned this:
This was great! The world needs more Limestone Pie, and this was a wonderful portrayal of her. I hope you feel like writing more of her in future stories
Was the bit about seeing the world a Roam Springa reference?
This was really well-done. A wonderful slice of life story, and a nice look into Limestone's character.
8962703 Pshhh, the world can toughen up and deal with it!
I love this! We need more Pie family stories!
Wonderful stuff... even if this continues the whole "conflating archeology and paleontology" thing. Still, loved every moment of Petunia eroding Limestone's resentment and suspicion. (And I can't help but wonder what it says when a pony named after sedimentary rock—a sedimentary rock that isn't even made from other rocks—so loathes the stuff.) Thank you for this.
Ugh, I love Limestone so much.
Intrigued by the premise. Will read when I have time.
I love it when this website ejaculates something original!
Thank you for this, dear author.
I think i kind if hate Limestone

I get her. She's the one who is going to have to step up and run the farm, possibly alone, while two of her sisters achieve wild success beyond. (And note that Marble is the one Limestone doesn't fight with).
Sweet. Funny in the beginning. It was nice to see her gradually soften.
A truly amazing story, and a proud addition to this Group.

Wait, I’m confused: are you the author, or is this one of your alts?

Blue Chameleon VI was an alt of mine. However, I ran out of uses for the account, so I asked a mod to move the stories to this account instead.

Ouf... But yeah. It is the most depressing place I can think of
Aw, Limestone made a friend.
As you never reach that age you can never get past it.
Keep telling yourself that.
Common ground.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
