Ooooh another one!

i've always loved fics about ordinary ponies crushing on one of the princesses

i find the vindicated irrationality in those main characters to be inspiring
the willingness to believe in the impossible and tell that literal god-princess how you feel in the one-in-a-million chance that she might be willing to open up to you...

i wanted to give thorax something like that because he's perfect and adorable and he'd definitely have more than a few fans amongst his subjects

it's a little painful to write a crush and have it go basically nowhere, but that's what i was thinking about—how isolating infatuation is, how anxious it can make you to keep those thoughts to yourself, how it will forever be a one-sided thing until you take that leap, but how could you even dare, but you're going to just die if you don't, but he doesn't even like you like that, unless he does, but what if you're delusional and you know where i'm going with this, you've probably already read the story

anyway, i was in a fae mood and typed this up a few days ago so here it is, i don't know why i'm rambling or why i didn't want to put this in the authors note or the blog but, whoever you are, thanks for reading

back on your good shit, i see

Aww, Maxilla seems like a real sweet feller

More lovely buggo writing! Very very well done!

I love this story so much it's so freaking adorable omg. 🥰

This one speaks to me for obvious reasons. :moustache: Very nice. Gives me ideas, too. :trixieshiftright:

Maxilla, ask him out already!!

Just do it!

This one is really good. Damn it why did it have to be unrequited love?! I so wanted them to be together by the end of it. How dare you do this to me! :raritydespair:

Jokes aside, mmm good horse changeling words

THIS HURTS
IM SUPER GLAD YOU WROTE IT THOUGH
IM GONNA GO CRY NOW

This was very cute! Left me smiling fondly and reminiscently throughout as I thought back on unrequited crushes I've had -- there really is something compelling about that simultaneous "realistically, there's not a chance" / "but what if...?" state they can put you in. :)

I hope Maxilla finds a way to move past the crush and find happiness eventually!

I wish I could say that I wanted to. I can’t.

I want him to love me for me, and the fact that there’s nobody like me is nice a lot of the time, but it’s scary. It means that if he doesn’t want me, then I can’t do anything to change that.

Also, I really appreciated this sidebar -- I think this more than anything is what made me root for Maxilla and feel like he'll probably sort things out eventually; even when he's this infatuated, he knows who he is and what his boundaries are. :heart:

This was adorable. I loved every word.

You surprised me with the ending. I really expected something to happen... Not that.

Thank you for reminding me that just because a love story doesn't end with a happy relationship, doesn't mean it's a bad romance story. Sometimes love is one-sided, and sometimes that's fine. Sometimes just being around the person you love is enough to keep you happy, and even if they don't feel the same, they don't need to. There are worse fates than pining for a friend, which is something I'll need to remember going forward. Thank you for this story. It was lovely.

Is it possible for an anticlimax to be done right? If so I think this might be it.

Painful


I love it

It's so painful to swallow your feelings because you've convinced yourself that you don't think you have a chance. I've done it so many times. I hope this boy gets what he wants in the end :fluttershysad:

I hated this story. It's better than anything Hemingway wrote

fics like this always remind me your range is insane

god that ending is so fitting yet so painful at the same time. there's quite an elegance to how this fic was structured. it's really good.

I've been here and know exactly what he's going through, it's not fun. However this story is fun so you get a fave and a like.

Probably the most painful part of this whole thing is that, to my interpretation at least, it seems to be heavily implied that Thorax DOES feel the same way. I mean, shit, it was Thorax's idea to take the guy to the flower thing.
