Exceedingly cozy!

When I saw that letter to Mount Aris, I knew I just had to deliver it immediately! It wasn't an emergency letter or anything, I'd just been wanting to go there ever since its restoration.

I think I prefer rambling here instead of in the author notes.

This pairing was inspited by a comment I once made. Shout outs to RadBunny, by the way, go read his stuff if you like Griffon x Hippogriff fluff.
The story itself came pretty naturally, actually. I'm suprised no one had written about this pairing before, given that they have quite a lot in common. The first-person perspective was tricky, but I saw no better way to write this story. And while we're on the topic...

Writing is hard, man. I don't know if it's inexperience or perfectionism (probably both), but I'm a really slow writer. Including proofreading and time spent thinking about what/how to write future scenes, this easily took me over 50 hours. All in the past 13 days, so it was pretty overwhelming.

This is my first story; I would appreciate it if you could rate it so that I know if I should consider writing more or if I should stick to my day job (I'm okay with both, honestly). I do want to make this story as best as it can be, though, so let me know if you find any typos or grammar mistakes – English is not my first language.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day! 😁

That's alright; I take longer with even less output, so you're probably doing something right.

Off to a good start, I say.

You know I had to do it to 'em.
Good to see you here, I had a feeling you would like this one. 😛

When you mentioned turning Gabby into a seapony, I pictured penguin griffons.

There’s a lack of description in this story. Why was Gabby awed by Seaquestria? What did the palace look like?

This is a great concept for a story and you executed on the overall idea well. The ending was especially satisfying and really brought the whole thing together. The individual components feel a bit underdeveloped - it would have been nice to read some more descriptions from Gabby's perspective to give an understanding of how she interpreted what she was shown. Overall, I wanted to see more, which is not a bad problem to have. What I liked best was the way you displayed Gabby's enthusiasm in the story.

Well done on your first story, congratulations on being featured, and good luck in the May Pairing Contest!

So, when does Gabby move in?

Is it just me, or did this fic read like the Hallmark Channel?

Yeah I can see why you think that.

Will we see more of these two?

Awww this was a sweet story of gabby and Terramar story here And it was sweet of him to give Gabby a tour of his home and I really felt bad for Gabby She really wants Her home to become a Majestic Kingdom again I am sure in the future it will get better slowly but surely this was a pretty good story

I'm with you there. You know those Hallmark movies that play through December? My mom watches every single one.

My late grandmother on my mom's side was the same way, I'm not against cliché love or sweet fluff stories, but I do prefer a little variety every now and again.


Upon rereading I had a sudden thought. When Gabby turned into a seapony, who wants to bet that she looked rather like a dolphin?

Gabby is endlessly adorable. Nice work!
