You gotta kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.
"There are things that drift away,/Like our endless, numbered days." -Iron & Wine, 'Passing Afternoon'
Apple Bloom and Spike have a secret book club. While they enjoy their books, sometimes the world of fiction doesn't always provide the escape they'd hope.

Genuinely good. I loved it, not every story needs a huge adventure or a big plot. Sometimes, life can be all you need, just a bit of real life to love and relate to.
Dawwww!!!!! I ship it

It's why I love slice-of-life. The simplest things can be the most important.

It was one of my favorite ships way back when (and still is)!
'Iron & Wine'?! A spike story?! By closer-to-the-sun!?
Stop trying to seduce me!
Aww, that was sweet and adorable. Definitely a good story to read to pass our own afternoons.
The whole convo about cosmic justice got me thinking about modest mouse again.
Also yay! TinTin!

Ahh, geez, you're making me blush! I'm glad you liked it! I always love writing for Spike, and Iron & Wine seemed to fit well for the atmosphere (and Modest Mouse was on my writing playlist for this story, haha!).
And yes, how can one not love Tintin and his adventures around the globe! (tried so hard not to have Spike talk about the Unicorn, which is the best Tintin comic)
I'm really glad you enjoyed reading it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was kinda something that felt perfect to write given what's going on (especially being stuck inside). That, and I always love writing fluff for Spike and Apple Bloom, hahaha

Thanks for the reply, I really wish this was a full length story, tell me if you ever make one I’d love to read it.

Honestly, not sure what I else I could do with it, especially since the fic is mostly about enjoying the simple things in life.

True, could be a continuation of this and climax at the end with an eventual romantic reveal by one of them. Part of why I loved so much was because it’s literally the most wholesome story I’ve seen on here.

Eh, I thought it’s be more fun to do something different and just hint that they had been together for a while.
That being said, I have plenty of other SpikeBloom (both direct and implied). If you’re looking for the simplest and cutest one, the story ‘Good Feeling’ in the collection ‘Pretty Little Ditty’ might interest you.

Sure I’ll check em out, I bet their great too. Oh, and nice Dr. Who pic btw, like the Ood.
Lol, Spike is reading Warrior Cats
