It’s a mystery to most how Maud and Rarity got together, even more so what the outspoken and sometimes dramatic fashion diva sees in a plain, quiet mare with a Rocktorate.
To Rarity, Maud is a steady comfort, the unmovable object to her unstoppable force, the one who keeps her grounded and steady.
To Maud, Rarity is a gem worth considering and protecting.

That was a lovely story. I like that it ended with Maud feeling she doesn't have to be alone anymore

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Delightful story, Snow.
Really sweet.
This was lovely! It was really nice to see Maud's view of Rarity and how Rarity is able to appreciate her.
auauagh the thought of Rarity's keen perception of finer details being what allows her to see into Maud the way that most ponies can't is just so wonderful and i love it
such a shame to not be able to properly render that lovely blue! i would regret that as well
aww, such a cute little detail!
i, too, feel such things when looking at drawings of Rarity
it's just so very Maud to note how silly poetic metaphor is, and then proceed to do it anyway in her own way, and be moved by it
aaaaaa such a perfectly Rarity response
and bringing it back to the earlier phrase of "soft looking ears that heard everything", and just how special and wonderful it is that Rarity can appreciate and understand Maud because she can notice these small things, augh. perfection
and i absolutely adore this! the poems are such a great way to bookend this piece. i can just hear Maud reading them in her deadpan voice, deeply meaning every word. augh. perfect.
and this is just so damn cute augh, it makes me tear up! i love it so much, thank you!
A strong argument for a most unexpected pairing. I do love how Rarity inspires Maud to write something more lyrical poetry than her usual free verse, and seeing her revise her metaphor until it both perfectly captured Rarity and was acceptably mineralogical? Lovely work. Thank you for this, and best of luck in the judging.
