Hitch never expected he would be here, making friends with the pegasi and unicorns. Yet here he is, for better or for worse, and in this moment, he takes the opportunity to think back to his past. Everything that has he's encountered has made him the pony he is - how could any of these other ponies possibly understand that?

Pipp, however, might just understand more than he realizes.

An interesting take on how Pipp and Hitch could have different perspectives on their lives. Weaving in Hitch's own memories of playing, his foalhood, and what he perceived friendship to be was a nice touch to help showcase how his personal experience with Pipp would be like. Of course, the Pipp and Zipp dynamic was also explored here in some detail, and their concept of celebrating the holidays and more. Personally, I felt that the story could have gone further into this conversation, precisely the aspect of Hearths' Warming. I would argue that the post on Hearths' Warming is contrived, but I think the story did a very valiant job in stringing it in, to tie the holiday spirit in.

This was really sweet!

Hitch and Pipp just talking makes for a really great story, and the story beats are times perfectly. Special credit to the progression of Hitch opening up to Pipp, because it was done so naturally and I barely even noticed the change.

The subtle trans themes under the story are really nice, and the moment they both realize is really touching. In general, your characterization for these two is on point. Pipp in particular feels like herself without being overbearing, which is a difficult feat from what I've seen. The quiet, more emotionally aware side of Pipp is something I've always loved seeing explored, and you really nailed it here.

Honestly, lovely story, and it's great to see a G5 story! Great work!

Oh this was divine!

Yesss, as my first piece of G5 fic, it was a nice introductory piece. I like the way you played things in slowly, and the pay off at the end with the subtle nod.

Pacing was excellent and I like that the story sort of switches up without feeling abrupt or out of place. The interactions aren't out of character, either. Definitely feels as if this could be an actual scene in the series. Just a generally well written story. Loving the subtlety, as well, instead of the full on nosedive Hitch x Pipp ship I see time to time.

Kudos to you, my friend.

This was a really sweet story. Came here for Hitch and Pipp interactions and the references to his friendship with Sunny, which were both written wonderfuly, but the shipping was a nice surprise too.

Also I admit I didn't pick on the trans themes until I read one of the comments here. Then that little hint I managed to pick exploded and in the second read everything came together perfectly. Definitely leaving a fav

​At Hoof to Heart we believe in the power of the horse to help people from all walks of life with their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. I like your story. Very inspiring and interesting.
