I hope he gets on with Tempest shadow and Derpy .

Honestly I thought this is DuskTwi romance one, not a normal one if I am being honest. Also there not that many DuskTwi at the moment. So yeah I like the drama of all this, still think something will happen between them though.

I love Tempest Shadow. I thought that she was quite the pony, with plenty of potential, further fleshing out some of her backstory and abilities, plus many other things.

Sadly, I have never contemplated having Fizzlepop in this story, as I was imagining the timeline here as being before the Storm King's invasion. And, truthfully, that invasion never happened in Twilight's timeline in my iteration. Just like Luna turning into Night Mare Moon never occurred in Dusk's universe.

Alas, Derpy is but a side character, and not relevant to the plot. I also love Derpy; she is one of my favorite characters in the universe of Equestria. Do note that, in my current universe timeline, Derpy is not a mother to Dinky, nor did Derpy ever have a foal.

Thanks for reading my little tale and commenting. I do love to hear from others.

Oh, there is always hope...

Part of the fun is the ride, y'know...

Dusk gave Spike a half grin. “Not quite yet, little one. Oh, don’t worry. Twilight is far from being harmed. She does however look quite cute hanging against the wall. I know that you feel for her; she’s your mommy, yes? I am not going to hurt my dear cute double. I am just going to enjoy her like this for a few moments. Once Sun-butt replies, we shall see what to do with dear Twilight princess.”

Not gonna lie in a sense Twilight is mother of spike she the one who hatch his egg

Twilight: I can't believe it I am getting married. You’re the worst. You know that right?
Dusk: And yet you’re marrying me. It’s funny how things turn out.
Spike: Gross get room you two
Dusk: Son you will understand when you have hatchling of your own.

[royal chariot arrives in Canterlot]
Sgt Schönweiß: Shall we prepare the 'dangerous creatures' cell for the prisoner, your Highness?
Celestia: No, Sergent, after a visit with Dr. Flenser this one will be suitable for housing with the other earthpony convicts. And..."
Her Highness made an unmistakable gesture.
Sgt Schönweiß: Yes, your Highness. Horn and wings to be surgically removed. And gelded, too."
Celestia: Let's make that a full nullification, for safety's sake.

Now that i've gotten that outburst of personal animus towards Dusk out of the way, may I address something that seems like a logical inconsistency? Okay, so if Dusk has been raped by his mother's customers so many times that he thinks nothing of raping other ponies, why in the name of logic would he be "a good lover"? If he doesn't care about consent, why would he care if his partner enjoys, or even survives, what he does to them?

Yeah, a fair point. I agree that there does seem to be a bit of a conundrum in Dusk's persona. I feel that he is as conflicted about everyday life, and, like Twilight, finds solace in being alone, hence his negative attitude most times, as in pushing away others with his demeanor. Remember also, while he does share many traits with Twilight, his life path went horribly astray, so he in no "Prince of Friendship" thing like Twilight
Inwardly, he cares, yet in his outward outlook, he doesn't. A charactural dichotomy. (And, damn you for making me think about my character's psychology!)

I'm glad that you took the time to remark. I am almost finished with chapter seven. I've just been too busy with Windy, okay? She is quite the mare...

I think he might have crossed the line between "a very conflicted pony" and "dangerous animal".
