Golden Glass believed in perfection: perfect coiffure, perfect dressing, perfect day, perfect everything. And of all the things that he held to such an impossibly high standard, none surpassed his cup of tea – Black Canterlot Standard, four bags strong, a drop of milk, and some biscuits, to be precise.
All that changes when he meets Starry Night, a thestral mare whose wild mannerisms and unorthodox attitudes undoubtedly clash with his own ideals. As the two discuss and argue about the art of tea-drinking, Golden begins to learn that, sometimes, it's not about the perfection and standard that counts, but the heart that goes into it.

This is cute--great descriptions, neat worldbuilding tastefully sprinkled throughout, and written with the clear vocabulary of a true tea worshipper. I see that Incomplete tag, so I'm hoping to see more!
One only has to speak to a single thestral for longer than 60 seconds to find this out, it seems.
I love bat ponies and I'm looking forward to seeing more from this story.

Thanks for reading! Ironically, I'm more of a coffee addict than a tea worshipper.
My bad, it's supposed to be marked "completed." It is a one-shot after all
