It was a nice journey, though it’s sad to see it end

Alas, all good things must come to an end

I'm not really much for shipping, but I adore how you've gone about it here; how Starlight and Sunburst are both barely put together as adults (hashtag-relatable), and how they struggle with all the baggage they're carrying about each other, it really gets to the heart of why they make a compelling ship. Because from the audience perspective, all I wanna do is mash them together and scream "just kiss already!" (The scene with Maud and Trixie really hammers this—eat your heart out, Bechdel.)

Thanks for giving my fic a chance and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

They really are a compelling ship to me, two dumpsters fires falling in love is the best relationship dynamic in fiction honestly. I wasn't planning on exploring this aspect but it just sorta happened. And making the audience scream in frustration as these two idiots dance around their feelings makes the author grin like a maniac. Again thanks for the lovely comment!

I couldn't help myself and spent way too much time on this:
I regret nothing

Yeah, I hide it very well, not surprised that people haven't caught on yet

and also, that picture is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen thank you so much!!!

Ugh, so precious. What a perfect final chapter. I'm gonna bookmark it and read it endlessly for the foreseeable future. Well done and congrats. I'll see your stories around. Godspeed!

Thank yoouuuu!!! I'm glad you like it and had some fun along the way

I really liked it. The insecurities made it so real and fun to see how it developed

That dumpster fire-string of comments made me chuckle a little. Good one.

[...] and as a reward, there's some explicit content ahead.

It feels like there is sooo much wrong with this. I'll keep it short. No one wants essays on that stuff. So a) I didn't 'pull through'. This was not a chore. This did not, at any point, feel like work. Or boring. Or tedious. This was fun. This was enjoyable. A lot, actually. Therefore, a 'reward' to 'reach' the end should not be necessary. B) I'm not here for the explicit content anyway. It's a nice bonus. Many stories can profit from not adhering to what a PG-rating demands. Not in terms of audience size, obviously, but just by feeling more, well, realistic. Because 'reality' does associate with violence and cursing and sex.
Getting off-track, so a little course-correction. I'm not here for the explicit content. I'm here because at some point, I walked past a title. The title of a story. And there were some colorful signs telling me roughly what to expect. Character names. And genre tags. And I thought: Hey, that sounds like something I could be interested in. So I put it on a shelf and swore to read it sometime. 'Sometime' sometimes turns out to be quite... late. And I always feel horrible about that, but I cannot change it. Now I got around to this one. And it was great. It was exactly what I hoped for. It was fun, it was enjoyable, it made me smile, it entertained me, it gave me a few little questions to ask myself and mull over. It even made me feel something. Joy. (And occasional pangs of annoyance caused by relatability, but we don't talk about that.)

Haaah, I'm rambling again, aren't I? Long story short, you did good. And I'm grateful.

Thank you for writing!
