This was a super sweet look at a cute moment between Rarity and Twilight! I've had to learn a similar lesson multiple times, from both sides of the conversation. Well written and well done!

This was a fantastic look at Rarity and Twilight's relationship. I can related a ton to Twilight's "but I thought this is what you wanted" situation where she singled out the wrong thing to focus on, and it was really sweet how Rarity addressed her concern. Learning about lace was also fascinating; I never really thought about it.

Adorable! The way you give these two such a fascinating back-and-forth never fails to make for a good story.

That moment that Twilight ran through, where she thought she's helping, but it turned out the other way?

Man, I don't know why, but that's one of the worst things that could ever happen to me. Like, something about the idea that I've worked really hard on something for the benefit of someone else, only to find out that at best, they didn't want help, and at worst, I've actually hindered them, it's... it's painful.

Not to say this story is bad, though! I love it for that, because it's really nice seeing two ponies experience the problem that I'm so very scared of, and not only do they work through it without much fuss, but they do it so easily...

I hope that someday, I have a Rarity of my own to help me through those moments, if I ever end up in that situation again someday.

Give me a chance to think through how I feel?

That, right there. I'll have to remember that.

God, I've been thinking about this exact RariTwi dynamic for a while, and of course you've already expressed it perfectly here. The union of craft and passion, and the shared appreciate of both that the two of them can share, it's something I've found to be so very quintessential to their relationship. I've tried putting my exact thoughts on this into words for some time, but I think I can just link people this story instead.

Excellent per usual, Cyne.

I absolutely relate to Twilight, here. I taught myself a bunch of Java Script for work as for a side project (which was a resounding success) and ever since I have this habit of hopping in where I may not belong to take cracks at solving other people's problems whether they want me to or not. Hasn't caused any relationship troubles, on account of me not being in one, but I can see the exact parallel thread.

It’s a common problem! Humans are social creatures and our social adaptations are both very useful and not 100% perfect. Our brain knows we should help the group! It’s okay everyone appreciates our help no matter what! Because the brain does not necessarily see the social dynamics, just the basic calculus of group survival problems.
