Well... Something tells me James might've started a herd....
But that's just me. I get the feeling there's more to this than I can really see...
Why did you make the chapters so long?

I don’t plan the lengths.

He's a master wordsmith and this is his novel/child. There's stories and then there is storytelling. if you picked up an actual full sized book, most chapters aren't just the simple thousand words or so that a lot of fics are on this site, they are word filled wonders and worlds of emotion and depth.
So that dream they shared so long ago finally became reality, somewhat.
I had a feeling the events of this chapter would transpire eventually. Iwas totally expecting James to approve of their idea, but you merely teased me, author! I was all in on him and Rarity finally getting together
How dare you tease me :(
HERD! HERD! HERD HERD!
Always good to see a new chapter up.

Glad you enjoyed it.

My friend, it would take a monumental disaster of mythically divine proportions for me to not enjoy anything in this story.
Though I won't be revisiting the chapters dealing with Discord's revenge.
Shudders.
And I do apologize, but this month will be the last I can donate to your Patreon for a while. I'm having to quit my job for family reasons. Thankfully, I should be able to find employment in the next handful of months.

It’s ok. Take care. Any detailed feedback would be appreciated.
You know, I don't recall if Starlight was caught. If not, then James will probably be called in to deal with it since his armour would protect him from her spell.
At first I thought the 'keep an open mind' bit was going to be for the short blurb about Lyrabon. I was going to make mention that it's actually more strange around these parts to have straight relationships.
Then we got to the night and I saw what the supposed issue was.
Given the sort of positive wish-fulfillment the writing has always been, I honestly see no problem with herding in this story. It's not as if the characters were built up to be against the concept, and it's biologically natural for equines to begin with. Consider also how few stallions there are per mare shown in the canon.
My only actual issue with this chapter, - which I know is strange considering how staunchly I am a member of the Solar Empire - is that Nightmare Moon didn't also receive any cards or gifts, despite James being as romantically entangled with Nightmare as Celestia.
It feels like Luna and Applejack both have feelings for James but not enough to act on them yet, so I can understand they didn't get anything. Perhaps as a future development will see those two draw closer to James. In any other story I'd have a different opinion, but it fits this one.

The case with Nightmare Moon is more complex. She obviously has powerful feelings of love for James, but will not act upon them she is, for lack of a better term, too selfish to let herself seek a relationship with a man she can’t have all to herself. With James, he’s not entirely aware of his own feelings yet.
It won’t last though. Something will happen in Volume 5.
8979268
She’s dead. Suicide by cop.
8979315
This is heartbustingly cute,not to mention adorable and awesome!
8979441
Oh. Well, that option is dead.

A delightful end for that wacko! 🚓
My previous comment was made around 3am. Now that I am infinitely more awake and aware:
I am really happy that James and Rarity finally spent a night together. The way their relationship has grown and evolved throughout the story has definitely made the events on this chapter that much more loving and sweet. I've always been in the camp in support of them getting together at some point. The night they spent together in Rarity's fantasy seemed like an important event in the growing relationship between them (even if James doesn't remember it, unfortunately) . Hopefully they do end up together (in a herd relationship, because I'd never advocate for him breaking up with Fluttershy) because they definitely deserve one another, and they make each other happy and whole.
The only thing I'd knock about this chapter is how quickly it seemed that Rarity got over the idea of them being a herd together. I understand that her career is one of the most important things in the world to her, but after having so much of this story detail to us how they've grown closer together, one would think that maybe her romantic life would at least give her more pause. But like I said earlier, I hope they do get together later on!
P.S. - I always get a smile on my face when I see this story gets updated. Thanks for a wonderful story!
I love this store love love LOVE it and like so mean others I aways look for the next update. I would really like to see James in a herd I thank like others have said that it would bring a very deep store line and a deeper insight in to your lore. As to how mean being in that herd is a little hard to say but as much as I would love to see Celestia get in on that I just can’t see it working with them. Sorry but it is the way I feel. now as to Rainbo Dash and Rarity and twi I would like to see Rarity join no matter the cost because following the heart is better the a job money is needed but love is the spices of life and with out it why live at all.
A HAREM!!?? Or Herd in this case.
That is a pretty big step for James to take, but hey, more house wives probably means less work. Yay!
Or... Fluttershy is a mother of a new species............
Anyway, excellent chapter, but I recommend you reading this again. I SEE MISSPELLINGS AND TYPOS!
8982792
Uh.... Yeah? Typos always get through. It's called a first draft. I'll proofread it in time.

It’s appreciated. Detailed feedback like this is always a treat to read. Just wish I got more of it.

On a side note, the possible relationship building with Luna and Applejack isn’t going to happen.
In Luna’s case, beautiful as she is, I just don’t get the feeling that she’s a mare really looking for romance and just views James as her first real friend after her return to the throne. Not to mention having all three of the royal sisters developing genuine romantic feelings for James would be really pushing it.
With Applejack, despite being good friends, James has gone on record stating that on top not clicking with her as well as most of his other close friends, he does not find any appeal in farm life. That, and she’s set to wind up in a relationship with someone else late in the sequel.
I will say this though. I have a lot of plans regarding this development. Namely in the form of several overlapping spin-off stories set after the sequel with one in the works already as a passion project that isn’t publicly viewable. I just hope I handle them well.
I was really hoping that James, Fluttershy and Rarity would become a herd but i can let it slide.
I always look forward to a new chapter of this story, it is truly a one in a million fic on this site.
Keep up the good work.
Well... This wasn't the thing i expected to need to keep an open mind about. Then again, the idea isn't exactly weird or foreign to me. I've been in a multiple person relationship and kind of forget that it's weird to most people. XD
Anyway, wonderful chapter as always. I'm personally rooting for RD to become part of this whole thing. XP
I find the story has gone through a nice change, showing how love can blossom even though the entirety is against it! You my good sir/madam (I do not know which please inform) have made a story not only nice to read, both as a romance, action, clop, comedy, ect. You are truly a marvel of a writer.
You know, Bronies might be the biggest supporters of polygamy in the history of the world. People say it was wrong when Mormons did it in the 1800s, but apparently standards change when it comes to ponies. It's weird, isn't it?
Now, of course, I don't support polygamy today. It's wrong and stupid. But having multiple people wedded to you and being responsible for their well-being sounds more moral than being married to one woman and cheating with a half dozen other women.

It is a complex issue. I don't support polyamory over marrying as many women as one can just to appeal to his ego and for all the sex he could ever want. I only support it if there's genuine mutual love at the center of it all. Real polyamory is about love, not sex. Not just anyone has the capacity for that.
I have just one quick question.... why the fuck do they do NOTHING about Rarity being assaulted and stolen from? No visit to the guards, nothing.
9624583
1. The culprit is long gone.
2. The victim is shaken and is in no condition to divulge information effectively.
3. The victim regains her fortitude the next day and sees to it that her assailant is going to catch hell for it.
That good enough for you? Or did you happen to quit reading the chapter before it got to that part?
I bet a small part of you wondered if id ever reach this chapter with the "keep an open mind" part. Well I did and I honestly cant complain anymore. An adult game I played showed me what you were trying to convey.
In this fanfic, Hearts and Hooves Day isn’t the same day as Valentines Day unlike how most of the fandom say it is. Valentines Day is in February but Hearts and Hooves Day seems to be sometime in June in The Lost Element.

Considering that the episode does not take place in late winter, can you blame me?
I knew one day Rarity would get her chance with James. 😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
