A Hearth’s Warming Question

As Hearth’s Warming Eve swiftly approaches, Thorax, the new king of the changelings, finds himself facing a difficult dilemma. Princess Luna has invited him to participate on the Hearth’s Warming Ball she will host this year.

And so, Thorax finds himself on a cold winter day, but days before the ball is to take place, standing outside Carrousel Boutique, as he gathers his courage to ask Rarity a very important question.

Written for GaPJaxie for Jinglemass.

“Oh, I’m doing wonderfully, darling, thanks for asking!” the unicorn happily replied, releasing Thorax from the hug, much to the changeling’s simultaneous relief and disappointment. “Things have been a little on the harried side due to all the work caused by orders for the coming Hearth’s Warming Eve, but I’ve managed to get ahead of the rush this year and keep things under control. The same is true for both my shops at Canterlot and Manehatan!”

Why am I, an obvious fashion pone fan, getting downvoted for clearly expressing my love for her antics

Aww, that was cute! I was hoping we'd get to see Rarity helping Thorax out with her fashion sense.

Because some people don't understand 'sarcasm' unless you label it clearly? And even then it can be a coin toss?

I liked this. It's certainly a bit slight and ends abruptly, but of course that's kind of the point, with the lingering effect of Thorax's last clueless question. It's easy to imagine that as the ending point of a chapter, rather than the whole fic, but that would be beyond expectations for a Jinglemas fic.

Otherwise, pleasant diversion, and subverting the direction for the romance a little gives it just enough spice and variety to stand out. Good job!

I was genuinely terrified Thorax was supposed to be crushing on Rarity for a minute there. Thank hoofness he was just being a dorky beetlemoose instead.

Cinnabug is pure and precious.

Although now I really want to see more of this. Any chance you'll be writing more of Thorax and/or the reformed changelings in general?

By the way:

As he kept fidgeting at the same place while staring at the display case just on the other side of the street, Thorax knew He was being ridiculous. He knew that there was no reason to feel the way he currently felt. He knew that there was no logical reason for why he should even be worried about it at all.

Cinnabug apparently developed a god complex for all of half a millisecond?

Glad you liked the story's twist.
And yeah, Thorax is a true cinnamom roll.
I plan to have some changelings in Linked by Fate, does that count?
And thanks for the ehads-up, will fix the little typo.
