It is great to hear that! It was fun writing it.
Thanks a lot for writing this story! I truly loved it! The writing was flawless and the idea cute and original. I really liked how the characters were exactly as if written by the show writers themselves. Every word just felt like it came right out of the show and it had a familiar, comforting touch to it. The expert attention to the beautiful details was also great. Again, thank you for writing this piece of art. I'd love to read more from you. Have a like!
Edit: I think it's pretty awesome how you make your cover arts yourself. Your drawings are lovely!

You're welcome!
Hold on. According to the show's canon, phoenix feathers can cause temporary hearing impairment. Is that still true in this story or are we supposed to completely ignore that?
Thank you for catching this and raising the question. I have updated the story to better explain. Hopefully it addresses how Rarity deals with the concern. Cheers!

As I remember, it is their screeches that cause hearing impairment, not the feathers.

Thank you for raising this possibility.
After the question was raised, I did some searching online and watched the Molt Down episode. It seems that the episode and the sites mentioning this issue suggest that prolonged exposure to the feathers caused the temporary hearing loss. It doesn’t specify the nature of that exposure.
While not directly correlative, as Phoenix feathers are meant to magically cause this malady, in this world physical contact with a known “irritant” would increase one’s exposure to risk of the malady. For example, touching poison ivy would increase your risk more than being in the vicinity of the plant. Granted wind and one’s sensitivity would also play into that. I didn’t think Rarity was particularly sensitive to the feathers though as Zecora mentioned treating others for the same thing. So I assume that Rarity over-exposed herself in “molt down” by handling the feathers too much, and that handling meant touching the feathers.
I also figured that Rarity wouldn’t want the ponies who purchased her garments to also lose their hearing temporarily (even if beauty is pain) when wearing her designs. Given Zecora helped her with a remedy for her hearing, I also figured the zebra would create something to counteract the effect of the feathers in the garments. Hopefully, these choices make sense, flow with the story, and keep things more in line with cannon.
I would imagine too much exposure to screeching would also cause temporary hearing loss. Luckily for Rarity, Philomena didn’t get too loud during their exchange. :)
Well this was a pretty nice story to see how Rarity will do anything for a customer even customer is a phoenix lol for you never seen those everyday but it was nice of Philomena do something for Fluttershy once again this was a very nice story keep up the good work

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.
This was a simple yet lovely fic. A perfect example of a slice of life story.
It was definitely interesting to see Rarity take a swig at something the other main 6 (in this case Fluttershy) are better at and do a good job
