Gallus is really, truly unenthused about his latest assigned reading. Some lame romance by a long-dead author is good for pretty much one thing and one thing only: putting you to sleep. Sandbar decides to change his mind.
Shameless Gallbar fluff.

Kinda disappointed he didn't realise what was happening with the potion when he read the story the day before.
Ah well. These two gays give me free seratonin.
10344329
You said it <3
And yeah, I kinda wanted the low-stakes acting-out of the story in the last chapter to be unconscious. I felt that the characters themselves commenting on it might break the fourth wall a little too much, which wasn't really what I was going for. Glad you enjoyed it, though!
beautiful
god this is cute
This was fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing Gallus get swept up in the story and in Sandbar's touch.

Aww, thanks! That scene was a lot of fun on my end, too. Gallus and Sandbar be hella cute.
This was a nice cute story. And that's a lesson not to drink mysterious potions from Pinkie, even if they turn out to just be juice.
*gay happiness noise*
Adorable 100
Why couldn't they have gotten you to write for the show? This is better than the last two seasons combined!
I'm all for the gay here, but the lack of fun pony puns does admittedly rob it of some of the potentials. While not everyone is, y'know, a poet it would have kept the setting more intact to edit the verses a little bit to have those sweet, sweet puns.
Lovely and very, very gay.
this can't be almost over wtf
yes yes yes yes yes yes
You should write the boys kissing more.
10638007
D'aww, thanks
(Imma take this as more complimentary than you probably meant, seeing as I actually enjoyed the last two seasons, too.)
10638988
Thass fair. There are some R+J jokes in there, but I basically just tweaked the verses themselves the absolute bare minumum so they didn't mention, like, hands.
And I could not for the life of me come up with a non-lame pun on Romeo and Juliet. Poneo and...? Yeah, nah, wasn't happening.
10638999
Well I can't say no to that
10639643
I've always gone with Roameo and Fillyet by William Saddlespeare, personally. There is also always the option of not using puns but name meanings and the like, which is always another good way to make a reference. When you need poetry though, puns might be better to preserve the same sounds.
10639649
I will be taking this as a good omen, then. 👀
10639657
👀 the auguries seem positive
And okay, Roameo's pretty good, I'll give ya that one.
10640495
Well, Muleiet could always work to preserve the sound more, but I always found the spelling to look off
And if that’s the case, I know now what I must do.
10640526
Ah, guess I really gotta do it, now
10642044
Consider this a warning.
This is a really great story! GalBar one of my favorite ships(in a long list of shopping because yeah)>Great☆Work!
To the author - this story was saved in my 'read later' section (for i had some things in the way at the time) & finally leave a review.
1. i love the references to Romeo and Juliet & Faust!
personally favs of R&J are Baz lurhman movie (a slightly modern day interpretation) and French musical.
also know that faustian legend due to the French opera by Charles Gounod and phantom of the opera.
2. The ship of sandbar and gallus😍
10671051
Hey, thanks for taking the time!
I've never actually seen the Baz Lurhman version tbh, though every time I see a screenshot of that gun called "sword", the siren call of destiny grows ever louder.
...Come to think of it, Gnomeo and Juliet might actually be the only "adaption" of it I've actually seen. I should get on that.
The ship of sandbar and gallus
10674894
no problem.
girl...what are you doing with your life! go buy the dvd online or watch it on a streaming service
have you seen any of his movies like the great Gatsby, strictly ballroom or moulin rouge!?
that film is so iconic it got a immersive live experience by this company done in 2018
www.secretcinema.org/previous-worlds/romeo-and-juliet
Oh you poor soul. that's a horrible way to know/discover such a classic story
p.s: hope i'm not misgendering you based on your username
gallbar is one of my favorite m/m ships in mlp along with sporax (spike x thorax)
btw i lowkey like lyrabon and derpy x doctor whooves/time turner
10675616
I've seen Gatsby, and that was a pretty decent adaption of the book. I guess I know the next film I gotta watch, then.
Also, don't worry, I've read the play. Gnomeo and Juliet isn't the only version I know, lol.
I really need to read more Spike/Thorax, it's a cute ship. Lyrabon is also pretty dope, though I usually find myself defaulting to OctaScratch whenever I'm in the mood for that specific flavour of fic.
And it's only a little misgendering, don't worry about it
10676361
Gatsby (2013) with DiCaprio is only adaption i'll watch as the other two are very old.
oh please do watch Moulin rouge it's such awesome movie.
just avoid the Broadway musical adaption of it...now you might be asking 'Why is that?' while the songs (in the movie) are done organically, moving the plot forward compared to stage version it's barraged with modern day pop songs like lady gaga & etc!
alright i see...that's a relief.
p.s: i'm so sorry!!! i tend to look up the identity of said author beforehand
(since there is no bio about yourself. if you prefer to remain anonymous/keep your privacy that's cool in my book)
also this message was meant to be posted up on February 13th but my laptop gave me some trouble
10695360
We do love computer troubles.
Moulin Rouge is another one I've been meaning to watch tbh, especially as it's a musical. That film looks so honestly insane its powerful. Strong fever dream energy.
...And duly noted, I'll steer clear of the stage version.
Really don't worry about it lol. As you say, I like a bit of privacy
10697158
) which is why i kinda stopped reading stories on fimfiction.
you. don't. know. the. half. of. it!
(this laptop has causing me hell since august of 2017 and had been looking for a replacement. then surprisingly my mother brought me a Samsung laptop for Christmas 2020 & haven't used it cause i'm trying to remove various links off my web history
good to know you like musicals👍 as most of the fics i write are musical based
that film open the door for movie musicals to be popular again:)
p.s: here's an original song that's written for moulin rouge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV7KqBLCekk
also don't put off by this pop rendition as it's not like that in the actually movie!!
10639643
Poneo & Hoofliet
That's the great thing about puns, they can be as horrible as you want because that's the point!
[flustered homosexual catbirb noises]
This was touching, heartwarming, and overwhelmingly gay. I loved every second of it. I really loved the Student Six, and I really wish the show had done more with them in the last season. The Hearthswarming Club is one of my favorite episodes, as it shows us these different cultures and families, dives a bit deeper into their characters, and goddangit Gallus' backstory just made me want to remove my heart so it would stop breaking.
I'm generally a ride-or-die crewman on the S.S. YonaBar, but GallBar has a special place in my heart. That mix of gruff tsundere and borderline oblivious honesty is just too cute. You did a great job of showcasing that here. Gallus recognizing his feelings was very natural and organic, and it never felt forced or schmaltzy. Not one of those "Alien Mind Worm" types of romances, where the main character just for no reason can't stop thinking about the object of there affection.
SO yeah, I agree with 10638999. You should write about more boys kissing. You do it very well. Great job, my dude.
10837970
Your bold, though favorable, move is noted.

Replying to Spike with Rarity wearing the bi flag colors, hm?
(The heart is pink; it counts.)
I see where this is going.
HEY like six months later and i still read this late at night and giggle to myself at how FUCKING CUTE IT IS amazing job for real
always love ponification of literature i don’t care if it’s sometimes just replacing “hands” with “hooves”
oof, common ironic Ocellus L to be admonished for being the only student to actually care about the subject being taught
hehe love this translation to pony culture
augh so true and so GallBar
Smolder’s definitely more able to admit the softer side of herself than Gallus is
i ship them now
not knowing this feels like a consequence of Gallus not growing up in Equestria, as i imagine the Shakespeare-analogue’s place in Equestrian culture to be analogous to what Shakespeare is in the Anglosphere
oof now i am getting flashbacks to my school days!
of course i did not have a Sandbar in my life then which is too bad!
which just raises further questions about how earthponies are supposed to read books! (i guess on a table or à la Applejack in that one scene?)
oh hell yeah it’s natural! (oh wait no Romeo and Juliet are not at all a romance to be emulated no it’s not natural!)
augh i love this! always an adorable romantic trope, hearing the other’s breathing and speaking through their body, just makes my heart melt
really one of those ineffable experiences anycreature would be lucky to live even once
aww love involuntary noises specific to a creature’s species
hey Gallus has wings!
what a beautiful way to reali[z]e it!
love how forgotten the original goal of not failing the report has instantly become
ehehe i can guess!
that does change the possible contours of a two-friends-are-in-love-with-each-other-but-don’t-know-how-to-admit-it plot quite a bit! “not fair” is a good way to describe it from Gallus’s point of view
ehehe love the callback
yay bonus background StarTrix
given her extensive system of dossiers i believe this strongly
a. that is the perfect way to put it
b. especially to Pinkie Pie
very Pinkie Pie. also Trixie, now that i think about it! haha what a school
love that it’s easier to give Gallus a mysterious magical potion from an exotic land than it is to let them switch classes
really anything could happen after a character says that!
ahaha love how this was included in the list of Gallus’s possibilities
this worldbuilding makes too much sense
auauauaugh
ooh this got called back too, nice!
so perfectly Pinkie
love this reaction
oh hey just like Romeo and Juliet!
ooooooph you render this stomach-churning moment so well
auauaugh i agree, perfect response
and closing with a line from the play, just like the opening!
well that was just absolutely delightful. the GallBar was perfect, but i also want to note just how on-point the other members of the Student Six and the teachers were, and how it all came together to form a wonderfully lived-in whole. thank you so much for it!
