No Heroes Allowed

Amidst a busy and hectic life as a princess, Twilight hardly has time to see her lover anymore. Maybe it's time she changed that.

A Quills and Sofas speedwriting piece about a crack-pairing that I thought of with a friend. Maybe I'm biased but I quite like this ship! Second place story in a contest. Thanks to Applejackofalltrades, Mushroom, Wish, and Mel for their thoughts.

This was very sweet and touching! Not a ship that I'd ever thought of really but it is nice. Very well written, too!

Wow... This was really sweet. And you conveyed Twilights's emotions and thought process very well. Excellently written. Have a like.

Picking a rarely utilized background pony as Twilight's silent rock in a stressful life worked really well.

“I was… trying to make you dinner,” Twilight confessed, ears drooping and face burning brighter.

aww love how ponies are so expressive

“Because… Because I’m sorry for leaving you at the museum and you getting lost,” Twilight murmured, shying away beneath her wings. “I’m sorry! I just really wanted to see the Ancient Spells exhibit and there wasn’t a line and I just thought I’d be gone for a second but then I got into an argument with—”

such a Twilight mistake to make, love it

“It’s nothing,” Twilight murmured. “I just… realized it’s been almost two years since Apple Fritter and I really did something big together.”

Rarity gasped. “Two years?! Why, that’s practically a lifetime!”

ah, it really should feel like that, shouldn't it?

“Goodnight, Apple Fritter,” Twilight answered, giving her a quick kiss. As she trotted up the stairs, Twilight turned back to her book, unable to shake a single thought from her mind: This is a waste of time.

oof! poor, busy Twilight

Twilight leaned back in her chair, rubbing her eyes. She only vaguely remembered what this meeting was about and why she had to be here, but for once, not knowing didn’t trouble her that much. Because after this meeting was another one, where the same facts would be presented but to a different audience, and after that was another, and after that…

now this is depressing! i would've hoped that the working life of a Princess would be less soul-draining than being a corporate drone

She remembered their Manehattan trip, and making silly faces in the mirror while wearing a big hat. She remembered Apple Fritter doing her silent giggle, which Twilight adored more than anything in the world, before she would cheekily ask if Twilight knew what was said about mares with big hats.

wait, what do they say about mares with big hats? because i have no idea! what do they say!??

When Twilight looked down, her shapes became a pony with two ever-familiar braids in her mane. The pony stared up at another circle, which Twilight called the moon, and the crude sketch seemed to ask when Twilight would come home.

aww the subconsciously-doodling-what-you-are-thinking-about thing, always adorable

She leaned in and pressed her muzzle against Twilight’s. Twilight closed her eyes and kissed back, wrapping her hooves and wings around Fritter’s body and hugging her tightly. Her grin returned when they broke their kiss. “My hero,” she said.
Twilight sighed, and she was warm and she was happy.

aww, so cute!

Her worries and shame melted away. Damn the world, she needed this.
They pulled apart, and Apple Fritter stepped aside. Welcome home, she signed, tears welling in her eyes.
“Thank you,” Twilight replied as she began to cry from a combination of relief and exhaustion. “Thank you.”

aww! always love a good immortal Princess x background character romance played straight, and this one was just adorable. it makes me want to write a Twilight x Apple Fritter fic of my own!
