‘So here’s an interesting thing,’ said Twilight, one day.
‘Hmm?’
‘Gay marriage is getting legalised next year.’
Smith didn’t look up from her rolling pin. ‘That’s nice.’
‘We could get married. You know, legally. Make things official.’
Smith dusted down the dough. ‘Interesting.’
‘Yep.’ Twilight narrowed her eyes. ‘And the year after that’s when the aliens come.’
‘Is that a fact.’
‘Are you listening to a single thing I’m saying right now?’
Smith looked up from the table, dusted her hooves on her apron. ‘Gay marriage, aliens.’
‘Uh huh. And any thoughts on that...?’
Smith grinned. ‘Depends if you’re proposing.’

and of course, there's no mention of Smith's family being unusually reactionary in this society for being so homophobic, but Princess Celestia is legalizing gay marriage anyway. this is pretty much exactly my headcanon on how things work in Equestria, so that is very fun

and argh. this is more than just adorable slice-of-life in this relationship i love. Twilight's mind is still stuck in the future a bit, while Smith is just so very grounded in her present, and that's making me think of what's coming up and augh
