I admit this chapter was a surprise.

Stories with mind controlling objects don't usually have their bearer helping another get laid with just advices and tips.

Well, for Tamati, all’s fair in war, but when it comes to love and matters of the heart there are no shortcuts and you gotta make the effort.

9150593
Well, Tamati didn't ask her to lie... was it maybe part of the truth?

9150619
Possibly. In this darker version of Equestria, it could be very possible ponies were attempting to find a means to tame dragons.

That's going to be an interesting conversation to possibly have in the future.

So did Spike's love for Rarity completely switch to Sweetie Belle, or is it going to become a three way relationship?
Because I'd kind of prefer the second (though that's more the Sparity shipper in me than anything else)

Sweetie Belle is just the start. Spike’ll be getting lots more to join his harem before long.

Sounds like fun.

I love the idea of this but the anthro aspect just doesn't appeal to me

Sorry to hear that, but you can’t always please everyone.

Just makes us more unique and life less boring lol

It also makes sense in other ways. Maybe Celestia wanted a lover who wouldn't die of old age (a common motive for her in fanfics) but who wasn't boorish like most other dragons.

On second thought, Tamati might be overcomplicating things. He could simply go to the Princesses and seduce them into being his consorts.

Maybe he is just wasting his time taking the scenic route to complete domination, but he’ll probably enjoy himself as he works his way up to them.

So I decided to give this a chance and other than a few grammar errors, I must concede that this is well done enough that I'm gonna make this an exception to my general dislike of anthro stuff. You've won my follow.

I am honored by your watch and humbled by your Spikestache my good sir.
