Princess Twilight Sparkle, Principal Starlight Glimmer, I hereby send this letter to formally request a meeting, in private if possible. There is something important I have share, urgently. Signed, Starswirl the Bearded.
Warning: Romance-driven story written by someone who has never personally experienced romantic love, only stories about it both fictional and not. Not that I mind, but I'm just putting this out, in case this might come off as, eh, stiff, or something, though I hope it won't be.
Written for the M/M shipping contest.
also fun fact no-one asked for, this was originally inspired by the Pillars fic contest, but I kinda forgot about that entirely until it was way too late to even start so here it is now I guess woo
Chapters (2)
Howdy, hi!
You have been successfully entered into the MxM contest! Thank you very much for your participation and we look forward to reading!
i don't think Starswirl would be too pleased about his clothes being understood as a reference to Trixie Lulamoon, rather than the other way around! i certainly wouldn't!
aww, that's Twilight!
oh yeah, that would be true, wouldn't it? but it's not a long list, both because Starswirl was a friendless jerk back in his day, and because nearly everypony from back then is dead now
i mean, considering all of the strange things she has seen in her life, is it that strange? well, i suppose it is a bit of a crackship!
aww! i would tear up, too
having to discover love as well as friendship after a long life of spurning both really makes Starswirl into a tragic figure here. that plus the time displacement really sets up Starswirl, like the other Pillars, for a lot of interesting shipping ideas.
it's really nice idea, to have the Castle of Friendship looking out for its creator like this!
ha, good to clear that up to the reader as well. a fun note to end on. thank you for writing!
