Astral Ink, the Royal Scribe assigned Princess Luna, was relaxing in his quarters when he was then visited by Raven Inkwell. A few disagreements here and there eventually lead to some uncomfortable revelations that may put Astral's position in Canterlot in jeopardy. All leading up to an unexpected visitor to appear to give some advice and a few personal thoughts that push the scribe in the right direction once again.
A (sorta) vent fic that covers topics such as stress, procrastination and self doubt over one's abilities that may be a denial over laziness.
Romance tag is for small bits of romance are sprinkled within that might lead to a sequel fic if the story is received well enough.

Dude, seriously, this was REALLY good. The dialogue and pacing is top notch as well as the chemistry too. I honestly do hope there’ll be more in the future! Keep up the good work my good man
reading this story about not procrastinating, while I' m procrastinating.

Thank you for the kind words!
Yeah, at the rate this story is growing in popularity, I'm definitely motivated to write up a sequel. So keep a lookout for that.
Good pacing and overall an interesting read, well done! I'd recommend breaking up some of the bigger dialogue paragraphs for easier reading- and there's this catch in the first paragraph " as he lower his book" (lowered)
Very believable pacing and fantastic scene-setting. Good job!

Thank you very much for the positive feedback and the constructive criticism. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I write in the future.
Went back and fixed the typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

Most welcome!
Paced well, told well, faved well long since.
Well that was definitely an awesome read. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Astral Ink's story and how his relationship with Luna will develop.
This was a really good Fanfic~
I even felt I little more motivated myself at the end!
And it also has a every good take on Raven Inkwell!
I love it~
What, "complete?" Bruh, this is clearly Chapter One.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've always appreciated your comments on my other story and it definitely motivates me to continue with this one.

That's awesome that this story has had a positive impact on someone, I'm glad that you found it helpful.
Yeah we don't really get a whole lot of fic with Raven in it, and I thought she would be a good inclusion.

Well, to be honest, I really just wanted to see how well the reception to this story would be before I fully go through with this story thread. But seeing how everyone seems to be enjoying this thus far, I'm more than motivated to continue with a sequel!

I hope there is more in the future.
I don't know where the story could go from here, but I want to find out.
Hopefully Raven also maybe makes a comeback~
so it took princess Luna several years to say that she considered her assistant a friend. At this rate Astral Ink will die of old age while she decides to take a step.
P.S. if there is still a continuation, then I would like to see how their relationship developed from the very beginning

Well, you never know. Sometimes, when you take the first big step, you'll find yourself being able to make the next much sooner than you would think.
Also, something tell me you're get exactly what you hoped for with what I have cooking up next.
very good story
You already know that my English is not perfect, but I think it is very well written, and mainly it's an interesting plot
Like you, personally I don't really like reading stories about OC because many have the problem of making their characters 'Mary Sue', but here Astral has a credible personality, with problems that he tries to solve and credible feelings, so congratulations
thanks for this story

Thanks so much, it means a lot to receive praise from you.
I think it's important to have realistic characters with actual feelings and actions above pure wish fulfillment. I really wanted to emphasize the kindness that Luna truly possesses and why she was care so deeply for a pony close to her. (and also to set the foundation for a proper romance story
