Twilight and Rarity had been going steady for a while. She loved her! That much was fact, a scientifically verified claim that Twilight could fly proudly. Their love wasn't exclusive. They had talked about that. Rarity loving another didn't lessen the love she felt for Twilight and vice versa. So Twilight felt no guilt when she fell for Fluttershy.
She just didn't know what to do about it.

Oh gosh this was beautiful. Just, such a wonderfully pleasant story that's so full romance that my heart aches for it. A lovely piece, and the poem was beautiful as well.

thank you! i respect your opinion as a romance writer a ton so im glad to hear it hit the mark :)
Aw, that was adorable. Great characterization and plenty of romantic fluff. I don't remember reading this before, but I'm glad I read it now. Nice job.
Shouldn't a haiku be shorter than this?

Adorable. I love how gently and lovingly the topic of polyamory is discussed. I feel like I don’t see a lot of Twishy, and I’m interested in seeing more.
Nice work!
I love this story. It's tender and sweet, and your characterizations are on point. As always your prose is lush and poetic, yet it's short and snappy when it needs to be; finding that balance is hard, but I think you've nailed it here. Most of all, though, this story is emotionally honest.
There is a lot here that I could learn from, both as a writer and as a person. Really well done.
This is the fourth of your stories I've read today. Wicked Game made me cry, Thank You was uplifting and harrowing both, and What Is the Light? was wonderful and romantic and relatable by turns.
This is quiet and intimate and intense, and I love it. Your prose paints images vivid enough that I can watch them unfold, and feel what the characters are feeling. Thank you.

cyne! T.T
(no but seriously thanks a ton!)
What language is the tittle?
10333450
its english! jsut spaced funny. tho haiku is a japanese word for a particular poetic structure. so haiku+esque means something that is like a haiku!
10333457
Oh, that makes sense!
This was a really cute story with beautiful moments. The piano sequence and that inspiring Twilight's haiku was sweet, and I loved how Rarity was handled here. Also, RariTwiShy is always good.
lovers carvings > haikuesque dont @ me

Oh my god
10334092

Lovely story.
Useful, too - that also seems like a pretty good way to ask someone out.
10334455

A rough Japanese translation of the haiku, constrained by the 5-7-5 format. It actually became a 5-7-6, but I deemed it acceptable for the feel of shizukani, and it happens in proper ancient haikus, too. Anyway, this means, directly translated:
Laughter
The piano in [of] the hall
Quietly resounds
Hmmm. I'm not sure if this was gay enough.
More, please?

ah sorry im straight now :( next up: fluttermac! choo chooooooooooo
10335057
FlutterMac is actually a huge weakness of mine omg.
10335061
ach fuck i was kidding im sorry :( speaking as a professional fluttershy and semi-professional lesbian im afraid shes one of those wlws 😔wait ,,, consider: trans woman big mac and fluttershy 🤔
10335074
Hrm, I could still get behind that. Orchard Blossom headcanons are good. It's the same ship just gayer.
10335076
orchard blossom ?? thats suuuuper fuckin cute .... hmmm ...................................................
10335092
I mean, that was Big Mac's name in the episode. I've seen it used for mtf Big Mac before.
10335094
ysee i skipped that episode cus my friend told me to lmao
10335099
Oh, it was a pretty cute episode. It's where all the mtf Big Mac headcanons came from, after all.
10335101
hmmmmm im gonna tell her she has bad taste then
10335104
Yeah, I don't remember seeing any of them around before. Here's one of my favorite stories to come from the episode:
- MLP: FiM
- Drama
- Slice of Life
Applejack knows Big Mac crossdressing doesn't mean he has gender issues, but something else happened at the Sisterhooves Social that she can't ignore.Only thing I didn’t like was how quickly it was over.
This is great! Moar please!
I’m in shock. So inspiring. The cover art is gorgeous, the writing is brilliant. A huge well done to you. You’ve earned 10 Flutter yays for this one
Poetry.
I thought it was very well written though I am one of the odd few TwiShy shippers. Nothing wrong with poly (though the writer does not make clear whether Twi and Raritys relationship is "open to polyamorous" or just an "open" relationship, though I have assumed open to poly) at all, just can't see it with 'Shy. Many times a 3rd party is only in love with one of the other members, but is okay with them loving the other poly member for whatever reasons but they remain only in love with the one person, or pony. LOL
I just wanna poke Twilight in the ribs a bunch while snickering. :3

bruh o.o
Adorable
This story is absolutely lovely!
Would you mind if I did an audio adaptation for Pride Month this year?
10846574
thank you! and yes, i would absolutely love that. i really appreciate it 💛
Cute story. TwiShy is one of my favorite pairings and barely anyone actually writes it outside of smut.
