Did you do the cover? Its great!
So glad to see this out. It's a major point in both stories. Yay!
10737424 Oh, yikes. No. I just suck at giving credit. Been a long day =3=
kicks the door in
DID SOMEONE SAY MORE STORIES FOR ME TO ENJOY?!?!?!
And just like that, Seed gained a husbando.
Rosewood is the Earth Pony contingent of the Rose clan, right?
Oy, quiet you. Don't be rude!
Yup, you absolutely are Rosewater's cousin/nephew.
Clearly that question was a good one, and Stride practiced what was said.
But yesssss, I'm so excited for more! I've been waiting for Seed to really get a chance to shine, and poor Stride needs some love and help for that really terrible PTSD he got. :( Poor kiddo.
10737429 It really is. I've been glad to write it, and especially happy with how the rewrite has gone.
10737733 Yeah, Rosewood is the earth pony contingent, renowned for a rather keen connection to nature. Kiss is a good boy, but sadly he doesn't feature as much in canon as I'd like. In canon.
And Seed is so fun. He's ... really hard to explain. He embodies his ancestors, Rosethorn the Wise and Rosewine Rosethorn, very much. Especially the latter.
As for Strides, yeah, my boy has some things to work through. Fortunately, he has some good friends you already know about in Damme, though perhaps not how closely he holds or values them just yet.
I look forward to this story. And the first chapter is definitely interesting.
Ah, the ol' "Just Wait Till It Happens To You". A classic~
DAMN YOU EVIL HORSE MOM
Seed, you sneaky devil.
Aaahhhh, so Sneaky Seed helped lead us into my favorite part of the corresponding chapter. BRAVO!!!
I knooooooow! What adorable cuties~
Man, I'm so excited to see more. I just love all these characters!
10742213 Yeah, sadly, Rosewater is being rather robbed of the communal support for her romance that she'd typically get in the Garden and some of the small communities in Merrie. Rose romances, especially for the Rosethorns, are meant to be rather ... not possessive and perhaps not necessarily "displayed" like trophy style, but love is meant to be revered and celebrated. There will be some of that later, for other characters, and some in another verse, but this is something that really chafes Seed, Petal, and a lot of Rosewater's friends from the Garden. :/
And yes. Seed is a major sneak. He learned from his mother, Carnation, and Rosewater after all.
Always interesting to see a story play out from an alternate perspective. Especially in comparison to the perspective of two leaders and heirs. Who wouldn’t have the full view of their actions from the top trickling down.
Jeez, the pegasi really did not fair out well during the war, did they? Also Rose Shadows? 👀
Oh so Petal and me are both early morning people. 🙃
...oh Kiss, sweet summer child. This is Evil Horse Mom we're talking about here. Like hell she wouldn't do something terrible. (Especially after seeing how pissed she was in the main story after her talk with Rosewater.)
Sneaky sneaky boy. This is gonna get interesting fast.
10752040 They really did not. In large part because the Rosewings and Primfeathers presided over the bloodiest years of the war, and neither city particularly cares to revisit that. As for the Rose Shadows, assuming I ever get around to writing the AU where they were not retired by Lace at the request of Primfeather Maelstrom, you'll see what they were like. They ... well. They still live on in memory in Merrie and were quite horrific to deal with.
And yes, Seed is a very, very sneaky boy. He is, well and truly, Rosewine Rosethorn's heir.
Ah, the tangled vines of Merrie families. It'd probably give anyone a headache.
So politics. Yup.
Seed is already setting up the stage for some real gossip warfare. And with the Rose Palace all in a tizzy, it's gonna create a perfect storm.
I like the bit about the Rose Shadows. Shows a bit if backstory for the war.
Yeah...they're definitely lost causes on Rosewater's road to reuniting all there sisters.
Oof, that does not bode well.
That's freaking terrible Seed.
Dun dun duuuuuuun!
10788242 Seed would just trill "but it woooooorked" and snicker into a glass of wine when everyone rolled their eyes at him.
He's a little shit.
Freaking Evil Horse Mom and Stick Up the Butt Primfeather Dad are, like, in the same league.
Wow, how wrong will this go for this doofus?
Guys, you know Lace is gonna be pissed, right?
has read the latest chapter
...oh dear :(
.........I am sad now. These poor kiddos are so cute...
Collar is one of the goodest bois.
10798802 *glances at latest chapter involving Note*
*snickers*
Shouldn't you wait until The Primrose War is complete before you start a sequel? ...Granted, I get the sense you'll be waiting a while if you do that...
10813121 It runs at the same time, but fimfiction has no way to tag it as a companion without making it sequel/prequel to another story.
Yeah, Collar might be....less than kind when he learns about that one.
Ah yes, Evil Horse Mom really only wants one thing: to be seen as the overall winner, and the feelings she tramples on the way mean nothing
Pfft, yeah, there's a fun new threat Seed can use on ponies. He's got his aunt back and she can be scary.
10813291 In a sense, he could. It's also ... well, shall we call it a bit of a hint why Roseate's little helpers didn't like going on Garden land before Rosewater's return to the villa~
Rosetail looks to be a new and interesting character to follow.
The split is, what, 60-40?
gestures broadly at Evil Horse Mom things
Woof. Rosetail has some....issues, I see.
Someone is going to a party...
PFFFT. Best Dad Dapper would sell out Collar so fast he wouldn't even know what hit him.
And sneaky boy Collar trying to help poor Stride along. Hoo boy, that kiddo is gonna be in for the ride of his life...
Considering Evil Horse Mom is there.....yup.
She's like...a cross between a crappy Roman emperor and a slimy used car salesman.
Yeaaaaaah, atta boy Seed.
...ugh...I think I just vomited in my mouth....
Gonna have some more members in the future, I'd imagine.
Seed really is gonna be a complete cog in the works. And if he teams up with Coat to create the Sneaky Cousin Alliance? I fear for everything.
10838838
Haha yeah. Seed ... takes after his ancestor, Rosewine, and his mother quite a lot. That he learned from Carnation, Budding, and Rosewater makes him a rather dangerous boy to underestimate in any regard~
Honestly I'm loving Evil Horse Mom in this. It's like a sexy Female Palpatine trying to lure people to the Dark Side. Sure she is evil, but evil that makes one feel good for following her orders. The interesting bit is the separation between Merrie and the Garden means she has almost the need to treat them as a seperate power while the Garden can ignore her to a degree. Would like to know more about the dancing thing with Rosejoy though.
Another great chapter!
Let’s just hope he doesn’t overplay his hoof. Pursuing their hero in such a setting might be cause for concern amongst the Primlines, and the wider Dammer groups. Especially with what some already accuse them of.
Crown and Note seriously need to elope. Wasnt there something about married couples not having to take part in the war?
10867128
Of course you’d have to consider how Roseate would act in opposition to her daughters non-participation. Harassing members of the book club, raising taxes against her business and doing away with any exemptions, and of course, sicking her sex fiends and scent addled thugs against Note and Crown as she’s done to Rosewater.
The treaty certainly had provisions permitting their marital neutrality. Yet Roseate won’t let Crown just live comfortably and happily were she not entirely subnagated to her every whim and ambition.
Oh jeez...this poor kid has really been screwed with. EVIL HORSE MOM YOU BUTTHEAD >:(
Well....about that...
No, I think it's more that you're trying way too hard, girl.
That and you aren't Rosewater. You like...made yourself a massive target to get watched, ya twit. Good grief, can someone get this poor girl deprogramed? I feel terrible.
Gonna be the best blooms you ever saw, my dude. :)
PPPFFFFFT! JEEZ SEED.
Ouch.
YEEESSSS.
Well that might be the scariest sentence I've read in this universe.
I do love how, of all the daughter's she could have picked, Evil Horse Mom chose two of the big ones who're gonna definitely betray her the second they can.
Yeah, I think ya just missed him.
He made some friends. But would they have been so friendly if they didnt want to confirm he was the one?
10878884 It's ... really hard to answer this question without pulling a Word of God because, no matter what happens, that is an underlying part of Stride's relationship to the Garden. But ... well, I can say that you'll get that answer in a sense.
As for an answer that applies to a universe, somewhere, in which the Gala wasn't delayed because of Roseate's raid and Dancer's rescue didn't happen in the weeks prior, but Stride was still encouraged to go up to get wine by Collar or did so for the sole purpose of flipping off his family, yes. Seed and Petal would've, quite likely, been just as friendly to Stride as they'd been to Dazzle, Prism, and Tremor when they first met and may very well have taken note of his irritation and tried to talk with him about it. As they kind of did after Gale acted up.
I hate to say it, but after all that I’d expect Stride would be constrained to his household. At least, were that up entirely to his family.
Attaboy Stride. No doubt you'll be key to our favorite ponies winning the war.
Dude, distant isn't gonna be a thing too soon. You're gonna have to talk to Rosewater at some point sooner than you think.
Here's the sneaky boi, ready to help Stride out of his shell.
:(
Dapper is in a league all of his own. Though, Seed is the Sneakiest Boi....
And Stride has been caught by the lovely duo. Sorry kiddo, but you'll probably be happier this way.
It's so interesting that there's this warring faction that just...disappeared.
Sneaky sneaky! But blue roses are so pretty~
Hoo boy Stride, now you've given them all the info they need.
OH GOOD. A Prim Stick Up the Plot.
snickers
cackles
major eyebrow wiggles
Atta boy! That's the kind of attitude I like to see around here!
DAAAAAATE. IT'S A DATE FOR YOU!
Fore~shadowing!~
It always is with them.
Full permission to start romancing the poor boy. Stride is in for a ride he won't forget.
Bruh, you're lucky it still doesn't hurt.
Ugh, the relationship of the love square is always really weird to think about...
Poppy, you should be used to Rose teasing at this point!
PFFFFFFFFT OK ROSEMARY
Zephirine! My adorable little excitable teen!
Oh boy, the Wooing shall commence...
10990994 Yeah. Cloudy and Stride's relationship got off to a ... very rocky start. But they've worked through that and gotten rather close.
....you just realized that now?
It really must be freeing to just be able to express love how you want with others (barring the taboo).
Oh my god, a Seed Handle! 🤣
I feel like it's gonna get shot right out the tunnel when Stride makes his first proper visit to the Garden.
This story is always fun.
No update in months. A shame.
11094237
Sorry, Noble and I have been dealing with some things outside of fic. So, we're still working on things, it's just taking a bit ^^;
Now that's some sneaky unfair stuff right there.
Man, Stride, your PTSD is so bad. Seeking help might be the better option dude...
Yeah no, she absolutely saw that little backtrack you just did.
Atta boy!
Look at this good boy! He's trying real hard! I know two Rose ponies that are gonna give him all the love soon~
oh my goshhhh :ooo
happy new year! thanks for the chapter
Another great chapter!,
So we getting a update soon?
