Alaborn


Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

As other ponies prepare to deal with a dragon threatening Ponyville, two mares on a bench continue their discussion about their lives, a discussion that takes a weird turn.

It's the most iconic shot of two background ponies in all of MLP! //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png

that is not bon-bon....

1353497 Personally, I like the "Lyra is a human fanatic" fanon that seemed to arise from the way she's sitting here. But what if the fans got it completely wrong?

Lyra on magical drugs XD

I read the title and description and thought it would be some kind of shipping, but read it anyways, bracing myself.

Lol, this is MUCH better than expected. :twilightsmile:

I love this take on the whole "Lyra sits like a human" thing. Very original!

Oh Really? Because y'know, in the show Bon-Bon was totally sitting there next to Lyra. It totally wasn't fans later going in and taking out Linky and replacing her with Bon-Bon.

Heavy sarcasm is being used here if you couldn't tell. Words cannot express how tired I am of all this forced Lyrabon everywhere.

Btw author. I'm about to read this, I'll edit this comment for my review in a few minutes.

EDIT: Well that was a great short read. Glad somebody else in the community is open to rubbing two brain cells together to derive a different take on such a moment within the show (honestly everything about fanon-lyra annoys the hell out of me) also particularly enjoyed Lyra's going-mental-on-painkillers.

Thanks for this.

1347534 yea I had a feeling it would be these two

1347534 it doesn't explain why she sits like that nor does it tell what the accident was :unsuresweetie:

An intriguing short read.

Haven't seen much about side-characters in awhile. Too much HiE and self-insert OCs in the popular box.

1353550 If I remember that scene correctly, there are multiple Lyras in the background, including one near Bon-Bon.

Lyra clones? Sounds like another fic. Beware the pod ponies!

1353731
yes but we're referring to the one on the bench.

Wow...I never actually thought about the way Lyra was sitting… only noticed it when reading up on other fanon. Meh…

A good read, and the whole thing actually made sense!(Kinda) Ya done good, Alaborn. Ya done good. :ajsmug:

1353550 That's funny, because I've always found the Lyrabon relationship really sweet. :heart: :scootangel:

1353550 im am not so inept to not recognize obvious sarcasm thank you very much, and second, i personally disprove lyrabon shipping, nor the fact that 4/5 ponies in Equestria are lesbian (not that there's anything wrong whit it or anything (Dashfire FTW!)) so i kindly state that that is not forced 'shipping' on my part, but a simple observation. *looks over the top of imaginary glasses in a cold glare*

1353901
So it's sweet that because two ponies stand next to each other in a few scenes (nevermind how many other ponies they've hung out with on other episodes) that everyone believes they're fucking? Yeah, I'm not seeing it.

1354235
Okay, obviously a misunderstanding then. My apologies. So now we can both chill and get onto bigger and better things.

1355904
Really, must you be crude? :ajbemused: Being in a relationship isn't just about sex. It's about building emotional connections with another person. That's what I find sweet. You do bring up a good point, though…why did fans pick out Lyrabon among so many other scenes? I haven't a clue, and I don't pretend to. I've just always loved it! :pinkiehappy::heart:

Perfectly fun story, this should be featured imho. Truly does. Now if we can have more happy giddy jumpy Lyra and her being on clouds~ that would be a fun read I'd hope. Cloudsdale's Flyers Competition anyone? She sure gets excited easily over many things <3

I'll still never forget that angry face in Apple Squeezy 6000 and her NO!'s (so cute~) And how did she get picked for the wedding? Nice to see her ties with Canterlot being remembered.

So many people tend to think it was Bonbon sitting next to Lyra lol that was a different episode entirely :P Shoeshine was there first!
Now if only we could see original concepts for stories that let Vinyl grow as a character without being tied and bond to a single mare. Course all female DJ's are lesbians anyways you know? :trixieshiftright:

My forever gripe with Vinyl Scratch is no one really could come up with a deceny story save MAYBE that one Rarity fic. And I can't even recall that one much at all... *shrug* fanon shapes canon I guess. I still don't see why people act so selfish and self entitled with her eyes after she finally showed her eyes. Both are cute on her, her magenta eyes just look a bit cuter on her. Everyone wanted to see and wondered what her canon eyes were and now it's all "Waa~ I prefer my own head-canon someone else fed into me!" and that's fine too, do whatever, but gah just stop whining!

I digress... sorry. Great rational yet interesting look into Lyra's bench day and for including Shoe Shine.

"Lyra loves to play!" is her personality trait? Like a card needed to tell ME that when it's been plastered all over S1 and S2 xD

wow that was freaky... good thing fimfic has spam prevention methods in place... I hit backspace and that somehow tried to submit an extra 30 duplicate posts! :twilightoops: silly phone...

Brilliant little oneshot. Love it.

Wow. I love stories that add a lot of thought to tiny little things, stories that take a split second and weave a whole logic and reasoning behind it. I'm glad I read this, it's heart-warming, especially the letter in the end. I can imagine how painkillers mess with one's ability to fit into society. Not that I have any experience in the matter...:twilightsheepish:

Not entirely sure how to feel about this story. It's weird, but...well, I like it. Things get entertaining around the end when you start to realize what's going on. Grammar's all fine, and the characters are likeable, so nice job!

Too short, much too short, need MORE!! I like the stories based on secondary characters while almost totally leaving out the mane6 and princesses, much more diverse a story without being repetitive of others.
