Interesting story, however it would have been nice to see more of a resolution considering now that she's been dropped by YSL, a certain princess's word might hold MUCH more weight than some dinky little fashion designer who knocked up an associate of said princess and seemingly abandoned his financial responsibilities to the foal.
ponyquines are, besides think of the bits that went missing when everything went "woosh" a tragedy no one expected

Thanks for the comment. I really wanted to focus on Rarity's personal inner strength and her indomitable spirit to overcome a difficult situation rather than rely upon favours from royalty; something that in itself has the potential to backfire. I was aiming to show that Rarity could make a success of herself and actually emerge in a stronger position after the personal trauma she had been subjected to.
She leaves the story in a more lucrative professional and financial position than when she started, and that's a good place to be for bringing up the foal she loves as a fully independent mare - I love her spirit!

He's a character used to getting his own way and really isn't very nice at all.
I based him on a cross between Svengallop and Suri Polomare, but no matter how unpleasant and manipulative he is, I wanted to show that Rarity's qualities of genrosity and humanity make her the stronger.

Legend!
Well, I have to say, this is a bit rushed, but I DO like the work that went into the characterizations and future chapter set-up. Yeah, I COULD quite easily see how Rarity could end up in this situation in a slightly Alternate Universe story (which this is). And I DO hope this guy ends up getting taken down a few pegs in SOME way.
Anyway, on to the next chapter.
Loved how Twilight and the others are trying to help out Rarity here. And, yeah, I especially liked how Twilight convinced Redheart to keep her mouth shut for the time being. Even if HE might deserve the bad press, Rarity is under enough pressure right now without the media field day.
And, now, I'm on to the last chapter.
REALLY good conclusion to this short story. Yeah, I am definitely glad to see Rarity bouncing back stronger than before off this. And yeah, the "stylish foalwear" is a GREAT idea as was the inspiration for the name "Pearl". And, of course, as was pointed out by another reviewer, I could definitely see Spike invoking more than a little Karmic Trickery on that guy.
Anyway, excellent job on the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up in this short story.

Thanks for your comments - so pleased you enjoyed it!
Rarity was having a really rough ride, but she's got through it and her future seems to be better assured than at any other time in her life.
Gotta love Rarity!
I don't know why but at the end of this chapter I imagined Rarity singing "Everything Changes" from Waitress the musical. Anyway good chapter, very descriptive.
Don't know if you're aware, but fun fact,humans are one of the only animals that have periods! And, like most animals, ponies do not.
