Iron Will dreams of finding someone strong enough. Tirek is tired of being so weak, but ponies tend not to like it if you steal their magic just to bulk up. Maybe a little old-fashioned training is what they both need.
I make both fanart and fanfic. I draw all my cover images myself, and I take art and writing commissions!

Howdy, hi!
ENTRY CONFIRMED, OH YEAH!!!
(you have been successfully entered into the MxM contest, thank you for your participation and we look forward to reading)
It's a war crime that they never met in canon.
A very interesting tie-in to an obscure lore character's parentage!
Very amusing!
mine too, all for this character i met just now!
love this appropriately themed simile
the thought of Iron Will failing to pump himself up really is singularly tragic
that is a fantastic name
i am loving this origin story for Iron Will! though i admit my bias for depicting Equestria as a walled garden under the care of its immortal Princess, with ponies living soft, happy lives because they are able to. it gives Iron Will, a fun amount of depth, to have his exuberance and positivity be a reaction to a tougher world that he grew up in.
aww, a neat echo of Iron Will's catchphrases! loving the rhyming catchphrases as well. they feel like they're sourced from some real-life betterment program of some sort
that darned pegasus filly continues to do nothing wrong
huh, now i'm wondering how this theme could work with Rockhoof, since his muscles are magically generated as well.
i mean if it makes him feel any better, that child did almost commit a planet-wide genocide! not a pony to be underestimated
ah, oof! though if minotaurs are so hard to come by, i do wonder how the pony characters were so familiar with what Iron Will was. well, this is certainly a rare pair of a meeting!
ah, i love this!
i loved the symbolism in the sheer joy in the destruction of the gym, which i read as Iron Will realizing that he found something better than what he had been fruitlessly searching for all these years. this last passage, the sparring and its aftermath, was absolutely gorgeously rendered and i adored every word.
loved the backstories and setup you had for these two. i would never have thought of them together in pretty much any context, but now all i can think of is just how much they have in common, and what could bring them together. i just really wish that there was more of this to read!
Damn! Two characters I don't really like that much, and you've made both of them appeal to me, you absolute mastermind
Bucking great
Interesting pairing done quite well.
