I'm kinda tired, so I blame that, but at a glance, I thought the character tags included "Giant Spider", but it was just Gallus and Sandbar. For a second, I was wondering just what the hell I had missed in MLP.

Anyway, I'm gonna get around to reading this later, but I'm hyped for it.

Edit: That was fantastic, as expected. The crown was such a great thing to tie the action and adorable bonding together.

At least giant.

Not a big fan of anything having to do with spiders, but having seen the advertisements for a certain old film, I can't help but imagine one of the characters yelling "Get back, YOU EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS!" :rainbowlaugh:

That was a really fun and engaging read! Where to start...

I loved the use of the artifacts. I think that the griffon crown's power was especially well thought out--it makes absolute historical sense as to why Grover was so great, and here it got to be a sweet, romantic way for Gallus to bond with Sandbar. I really, really, really want to read more about the whole Student Six using the magic of their various cultural artifacts, so I hope you do more on that.

The action elements were really great. The injuries were properly worrisome, and I could see them make all the acrobatic moves based on the descriptions. (I will say I'm not sure I tracked exactly how the coup de grace move above/below the web actually happened, but the end result was satisfying, anyway.) I thought it was interesting that the "little" spiders were highly flammable while the big one used fire magic. Seems like a poor survival trait to give your offspring.

The little peck of a kiss! 😘 So sweet!

As always, your descriptions of scent are superb.

He stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw it. A hulking, huge arachnid sitting on the side of the wall. Furry and brown, with eight, unfeeling eyes like giant black marbles and limbs that were nearly half the length of his body, and adorning its chelicerae were fangs the size of an average pony’s forehooves that ended in sharp, dripping points. One bite from this spider would deliver enough venom to take down a middle aged dragon, less so himself. Probably. Gallus was no toxicologist or arachnologist.

Shelob been having more kids.

“Five of those.”

Now shelob herself? Damn.

“Go for the eyes,” Gallus said with the class again, less bored this time.

Sound advice.

That was a great movie but I don't think it was that old unless we're thinking of two separate movies.

It was from 2002. That's almost half my lifetime ago, so that's old enough for me. 😅

Oh we were thinking of the same one I just thought it came out later than that. it's a hilarious movie. It was on Syfy last week.

Boy this was a pretty epic story and gallus and sandbar Are pretty awesome together as a team Specially the artifact they have on them 😀 Awesome job with the story

Adorable and fantastical and gosh can I please get a sequel sequel sequel this one is so good. High fantasy, lovely prose, good queer romance, adventure-romance blending, and giant spiders are almost everything I could ask for. You know how to write these precious kiddos as explicitly heartwarming and implicitly so.

Obviously, GallBarYona is everything I could ask for in a Young Six story, but I'll take half of that. :heart:

To the author - the whole first half feels a video game:raritystarry:
middle section is the flashback bit right?
final part is perfection & funny with smolder smacking the griffon, lol:rainbowlaugh:

“Go for the eyes,” Gallus said with the class again, less bored this time.

Eyes, nuts (if applicable), ears, joint areas(like elbow, knee, collar bone, ect), and kidneys, are all extremely vulnerable areas for any living thing.
