Just a quick note here. still looking for an editor for both this story and my other story, Days of Discord. yes i know they need editing badly but i will forge onwards bravely with or without. that said please be gentle this is only the second fic i've ever been brave enough to publish (who knew it'd take ponies to get me to publish :derpytongue2:) expect future edits so keep calm and FiMfic on.

Thank you, thank you.

Hmm... it's Rarilight :yay: but Twilight is blind :pinkiesad2:. I'll have to give this a read later.

Yes I do my best but grammar was never my strong point in school (I'm a scientist by heart) I can usually keep them from being to horrendously bad though i'm only mortal, expect revisions when/if i get an editor/beta reader. Though i must say wow i didn't expect this kind of attention so quickly nor for it to be so positive. :twilightsheepish::pinkiehappy: Thank you all, second chapter is in the works now! should be up in a day or two if work doesn't drain my creativity too badly

Well don't forget to start a new paragraph for each new speaker. So far it's pretty good, but you still need to remember that one thing.

Alrighty everyone please give a big round of applause to Campisi who has so graciously offered to be my editor. :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy: The first chapter has been revised and these revisions have been posted so now the more grammatically inclined won't be so quick to reach for their torches and pitchforks when it comes to me. Chapter two is under revision and will be posted as soon as these are done. and chap 3 is well on its way. Thank you for all of your support and love. and again a huge thank you to Campisi for the assistance.

Whew, :yay: yay, second chapter is done. please blame me for insisting on experimenting away from my usual writing style and switching POV's this took much longer to get right than i expected. many thanks go to Campisi for patience in dealing with my idiocy. please do enjoy.

Looking cute so far :D

While I enjoy a touch of tragedy now and then, it's nice to hear the positive prognosis for Twilight, allowing for a more upbeat focus on the interaction between Twilight and Rarity. I'm enjoying Rarity's efforts to help Twilight adjust, and also allow herself a little time doting on her friend in the process. It's a very sweet story so far, and I'm looking forward to more.

So Twi blew dinner off wow haha. :rainbowlaugh:

It needs to me spaced better. Giant walls of text with multiple speakers is a massive pain.

Nice save with that last line.
I was going to comment "How does Rarity know Twilight's a fillyfooler?"

sorry i will be going back and editing thru this. google docs hasn't been wanting to play nice with fimfic.net so yeah i'm having to do a bit more manual reediting in of certain things like spacing than i care to. i will fix it when i have a bit more time.
also no, Twi didn't blow off dinner. i simply skipped over it. i tried to write that dinner scene a hundred times. it didn't work. it got axed. i like the way the story flows better now with it it.
I'm glad i seemed to hit a spark with the ending of the chapter. :rainbowdetermined2::moustache:
and i always meant for this to be a happier story, drama is fun but i'd been writing a lot of heavier more serious things when this idea struck me. so i'm glad everyone is enjoying it so far. thank you all!

As i see it the pain at the beginning sets the mood of all sorts of upbeat moments between Twi and Rare, the bedroom scene at the end has my mind raceing faster then RD going for a sonic rainboom, bravo!

all hail the giant wall of text!!!

There i have broken down my great wall of text. sorry i took so long to get to it. Work was very demanding of my time recently. Chapter 4 is in the works though it is slow going.

Not bad for an unedited chapter, almost looks like the final copy with the same typical grammer and speeling errors.

Hehe Pinkie seems to have her Pinkie senses in full effect.

I like it. Keep it up amigo.

HI thanks. and I'm sorry for the long delay between chapters. RL circumstances and some illness have conspired to rob me of my muse these past few weeks. Thankfully with the return of the new season my muse decided to show back up again and i have been writing again. no promises on when the new chapter will be up but i have not forgotten or abandoned this story by any means.

i cant wait for this to continue :pinkiehappy:

Awwwww, this sounded interesting, but it's been so long since the last chapter.

and for the long wait I greatly apologize. I am still attempting continue the story but I've hit a majors patch of writers block. which coupled with real life events (for example having to work two jobs) has severly curtailed my ability to write for this. I do apologize. I am not calling it dead yet. I will prevail! until then I apologize and understand anyones disappointment with me.

Take your time:twilightsmile:. No need to apologize for the wait, especially since you're busy. Looking forward to when you update though.

I don't want to pressure you but how is it going with the story? I just found it and it almost painful it doesn't continue...:raritydespair:

Ok I apologize again deeply for it taking me 9 months to get this chapter out and up:ajbemused:. My muse utterly abandoned me and I for the life of me could not get it to a state I was happy with. I'm still not completely satisfied but I don't see the addition of time improving the situation any So here it goes. It is still under minor editing. I'd call it 85 percent done at this point, the last segments still need to be ran past my most wonderful editor Campisi. Who deserves an award for putting up with me. Good news is I think I have a pretty good handle on chapter 6. I can reasonably promise it won't take another 9 months :yay: So please forgive me my tardiness and the low quality of this chapter. I promise to do better. but without further ado. please enjoy.

It lives!

2932428 If you took another 9 months, you'd start to give The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle a run for its money on time between updates :derpytongue2: But in all seriousness, the world won't end if you take forever to update. It will however end if you never finish it (j/k, but I'd be really sad).

This chapter isn't that bad. Maybe some minor grammatical things, but it's moving the story along in an interesting way :twilightsmile:

Is.... can it be true?:rainbowhuh:

THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULLFILLED:yay:
It finally updated. After all this time:raritydespair:

Sorry it took me a while to build up the 5000 GP worth of diamonds to use in the necro.... I mean raise the dead spell.:derpytongue2:

Yay EXPERIMENT AND SCIENCE TIME!

I am glad I found this story, even if it rarely updates. This has proven to be an interesting read and Rarelight shiping that takes the time to build up to the romance at a reasonable pace is few and far between.

well, firstly, nice chappie update to a sweet fic so far :pinkiehappy: secondly, glad that twi's condition is only temporary even thou they don't know how long it will last :yay: and thirdly can't wait for rares or/and twi to reliese their crushes for one another sooner or later :raritywink: so, without further thought - please update soon :twilightsmile:

2943413 so is this story dead...or what? please say no

good story,
and why do i liek story where twilight get hurt or soemthign

and sparks dance thru the air and across the ground

was feeding thru the system

Please do not ever use the word thru in place of through. It's incredibly jarring to come across something like that and it breaks the flow.

It’s been almost two whole years.... is this dead or what??!!

I agree. I want to read more about what happens. If you aren't going to finish the story change the indicator to cancelled so I won't be looking back to see if you have written more. It would be courteous to others as well.

What a wonderful story, and it would be even better if you continue it. I want to know more about how this love develops under these circumstances. Please finish the story.
