One before too many.
I can't possibly thank you enough for giving closure to this story arc. After the Magi chapters, I found myself stunned for hours and unable to properly describe my impression for days. This helps to solidify all I felt back then, and do more - polish what's there to a sheen. In other words, not only does it (Rarity's dream arc) and this (the aftermath) feel right, they feel earned. A certain sense of satisfaction for the characters.
Speaking of characters...
When did Sweetie Belle become AWESOME? I love it when people are perceptive to the degree of seeing through charade, and this captured that moment in a sharp but well-deserved jab at Rarity. Fantastic.
The only error i caught was during Rarity's dialogue:
There are two uses of the word "of" in this sentence.
Fav'ed. Thank you for a very intense, but enjoyable story...
God reading each chapter is so satisfying.
Wow...so much power and emotion packed into one chapter. :)
Damn i know it kills me to think or write this but its so true nothing I could ever write could be this good. I adore this story, thanks for bringing it back, beyond appreciated.
Wow, the last update was in May. What a really long time. Just out of curiosity, will your last chapter include or make any reference to the word "Salvation?"
There aren't enough words to describe how glad I am that this updated. Really, this is such an awesome story!
However long it may have taken, this chapter was definitely worth it.
Things are going fine, the hearth lurching feeling of doom is not in the air, i'm scared you' re gonna write something horrible and destroy my hearth next chapter.
You made my date with this update, thank you sooo much.
Ahh, so satisfying. I really like how you're writing Rainbow here. Rarity is certainly the more savvy and socially adept character, but I think Rainbow is the more mature of the two. And of course, Rarity needn't worry about Rainbow, the exemplar of loyalty, giving away her secrets to Sweetie.

I know, right? That final line, it almost seems like tempting fate!
Of course, I trust Cold in Gardez not to suddenly kill off Rainbow, or give Rarity a horn cancer. But still! Think of Murphy's Law, ladies!

Got em, thanks!
And once more I feel cowed to submission before the scintillating monolith that is your writing, as my own coukd never hope to top it.
Excitedly waiting for the conclusion,

You can pretty much always assume that characters in my stories will get what they deserve. That's a rather old-fashioned writing philosophy, and it fell out of style in the early 20th century with the advent of Realism, in which characters are rewarded or punished not based on their actions but rather the whims of chance or society or other factors beyond their control. In Realist writing, immoral characters can be rewarded and virtuous characters punished, simply because in the real world that's how things happen.
I'm more of a Romantic, and my characters tend to get the endings that they themselves have wrought. So if Rarity or Rainbow Dash ends up losing in the end, it's because of what they did.
*looks up the meaning of the chapter title*
Oh, I've got a bad feeling about this now...
Beautiful.
I wonder; may I produce a reproduction of your work in leather bound form to sit betwixt my copies of Frankenstein, Aesop's fables? While ponies may not become a transcendent medium, I still feel that your depictions in depth of feelings, despair, and loss characterize the human condition as well as those or any other works do. If I may have your blessing, then perhaps I will send the copy to you for an autograph when your opus is complete :)
5705789
I don't think my stories compare with those, but you may always feel free to do whatever you like with my stuff :)
I'm going to re-read this before I get to the latest chapter. That reply to Lurks no More has me even more curious as to what happens. But it's nice to know that your writing style is what it is. Since all in all, while they are both flawed individuals (isn't everyone?) They also work hard to do the right thing in the end. So it's good knowing Murphy the Source of All Evil, won't be utterly ruining them.
Still lovely story, and I'm going to enjoy re-reading this.
Wait wait wait -- Dash and Rarity have had sex quite a few times, yet after all that a kiss is considered "forward"?
5709174
In the dream spell Dash was in Raritys position. And there was a lot of sex in Raritys position
Wow, what a chapter. I can't wait to see what the next arc holds.

Make sure something is really an error before you call it out as an error in a story's public comments.
Dammit... Don't you hate it when you discover a good story one morning, and then 8 hours later you've caught up to it? Seriously, you do their emotional trauma extremely well.
5706119 Hmm... Nope, his point is made with a hammer, but I can't help agreeing with him. I still don't know why ponies have turned out to be such an excellent medium, but you really have turned it into an art with your prose.
My turn to use the hammer. I really feel like anyone lucky enough to read this will come out of it with a better understanding of loss, and perhaps even a bit of perspective on the human condition. Strange thing for cute little horses to teach us, but a master bends their medium to their will. As always, I can only patiently wait, as excellence can't be rushed, but let me assure you that I am looking forward to your next installment.
If love is what makes ponies rich, changelings must be really hated in this story world as love thieves.
5761999
That's pretty much the whole idea behind For Whom We Are Hungry.
I think this story has been in my "readitlater" for over four months... Well, now I read it. Brilliant. I love a story that combines maturity and depth with the ponies being the characters they are in the show. I loved it.
5776077 I am, in fact I've broken my own no sex and ponies rule for it.
Nepenthe: a potion to induce forgetfulness of pain or sorrow.
Wouldn't that be love and tenderness? Wouldn't that be charity? Isn't that being generous with your charity?
Phew, wow. This is definitely going in my Google Books library after it's finished. Few stories on here have drawn me in as intensely as this one has. Marvelous, simply marvelous.
I can't recall when I favorited this story, for back then I didn't know about the read late function, or it didn't exist. But, it was probably shortly after I finished reading The Wind Theif, so a good two, possibly three years ago. It has been sitting there ever since, and about three, maybe four days ago, I decided to read it.
And now, after finishing the most recent chapter at 5:56 am, I can say that I regret not reading this sooner. I haven't enjoyed a story this much in some time. Now, I eagerly await the next chapter of Salvation with just as much excitement, and patience, as I have for the sequel to The Wind Theif.
All I have to say is wow The emotional roller coaster is just overwhelming and quite good I'm glad things are starting to look up for RD but now what will happen with Rarity I do hope she doesn't Leave to Fillydelphia for ever I want her to stay with RD forever in Ponyville they both deserve some happiness, and it is about time they get it I WANT MOAR SOON If that is alright with you.
There isn't much I need to say that hasn't been said.
The way you balance emotions, making them feel powerful and real, that's what I love about this.
Bravo.

This is not very fitting, but after I stared at it for a full minute for how incredibly cute it is, it lead me to thinking about the only RariDash fic i like, so here:
derpicdn.net/img/view/2015/4/11/871178__safe_rainbow+dash_rarity_animated_spoiler-colon-s05e03_castle+sweet+castle.gif
I might have to reread the whole thing now.
update
Dear Celestia, I can't get enough of this story. You evoke such emotion in your writing (in all your writing, not just this story) and every single sensation is felt from the most subtle to the most intense. Your transitions are wonderful as well. I desperately look forward to the updates.
Should be "Rarity's."
I found this story back when I started on fimfic in 2012, I found and read it before I registered, when I did finally register I couldn't find it. Obviously I wasn't following it when I read it so to me it just kinda vanished. I'm so happy I found this again, possibly one of (if not the) best fic about my favorite (and rare) pairing. This has made my week. Amazing work, keep it up, you absolute legend.
"And yes, I'm still working on Salvation. Always, always thinking about Salvation." YAS! I can finally sleep when this is all over.
10 years since gardez update. i walk through the empty streets trying to think of something else but my path always leads to the salvation. i stare at the screen for hours and try to summon the lord. i read about other authors but it is no good. i flame knighty in irc and try to resist the nazi mods but it is all meaningless. the end is near.i then usually re-read some old chapters and cry myself to sleep.
6171696 so true...
Whenever I feel that I've done something, anything write writing a relationship of any kind, I feel like I've been tracing over your lines. And lo, often I am.
Reading the original Salvation was a watershed moment for me. Blew me away. This version has too. It was Salvation that made me realize I wanted to write things that would make people feel like you had made me feel. FO:E did too, but you did it first. This was the first blood. Thanks. Hope to read an update soon, also. :)
Re-reading this.

Didn't see this till now, since you forgot to tag my comment XD.
Anywho, thank you very much for pointing that out .
Alright. This needs to get cleared up.
This entire scene took place on the train. Dashie broke the jewel after stating that she didn't have any bits, and Rares responding that they only check for tickets at departure. It mentioned the state of Dashie's mane after catching up to the train.
How in the hay did they arrive at Sweetie Belle's house? I know dream Rarity was saying that's where they were. But it really wasn't, and I chalked that up to the dream, being, well a dream. They don't need to be accurate. But suddenly they wake up in Sweetie's old room. How?
________________
That's from http://www.fimfiction.net/story/51703/15/salvation/reciprocity. You never had them go back to Ponyville, or even get back to Fillydelphia when they slept. Simply one moment train. Next minute the Studio when they wake up.
_____________________
Anywho. Love the fic, and I really hope you plan on continuing this fic. Reciprocity needs to be re-written. Seriously I have no idea how they fall asleep on a train in 10 the morning, and somehow magically appear in the Studio the next day. All the while having been in a deep sleep.

It states in Gift of the Magi pt 1 that they're in the bedroom in Sweetie's house. The minutia of their travel back to the Boutique was left out because it doesn't add to the story.
I don't fix some of the errors because they're not actually errors. Others I just don't feel are worth the time.
And also, it's bad form to list corrections in publicly viewable comments. Imagine criticizing a musical performance from the front row of a live concert.
6318242
I never saw it as bad form, sorry. It's something I see in a lot of comments, and has happened in a lot of my own. Even this fic (before my own fixes) had people pointing them out (some of them). I simply saw it as others not bothering pointing them out. As for critiquing a musicians performance, I don't care about musicians enough to go to a concert (unless a family member dragged me to one. Like any other social gathering I'm thrust into). But if it was horrible, I'd simply walk out. If it was really horrible, I'd tell whoever dragged me out there, that I'm sitting through that torture then leave. If it was decent. I'd sit it out, then critique to whoever dragged me out there as to what I thought about it (but at least I'd wait until they stopped playing). (but then again, I'd do the same with any social activity that I was forced into going. For the sake of "family bonding".)
As for the bed scene ... that really wasn't clear. After all it simply transitioned from Dash being next to Rares on the train, to Dash and Rares laying next to each other. Trains have beds after all, and the Mane 6 have slept on trains before in the show. But I can see not wanting to give every minutiae of their travel. But a throw away line would've been nice in the opening of that chapter *shrugs*.
Edit:
Although I do know authors who state: A) I don't do edits. When I do a fic, it's done and over with (so I ignore errors. Since spending time on that is pointless, and the fic is good enough as is); or B) request I send error fixes via PM (I do so since it's their personal opinion as well as their work). So I can send errors via PM, or I can simply ignore spelling or spacing errors if that's the type of author you are. But I do error fixes, since I think this story is worth hours of my life that it takes to do such things ontop of reading (and in this case re-reading) the story.
I wanna see the funish for this story. Its finny how long i can go without reading stories only to be able to pick them back up right where i left them. I only had trouble with one story in that regard. It wasnt one of yours.
Has this one become a hiatus?
*remembers mention of new chapter*
*sets up tent and generator* *establishes wifi connection* *prepares to wait*
We require more Raridash minerals
6458122 in deference is still correct. Indeference isn't a word. Think of it more like in reverence--it's a phrase, as opposed to a compound word.
