Soaring


An amalgamation of nice and spice. Controversial in every sense of the word. Wonderbolts enjoyer.

This story is a sequel to You Think I Could Make It?


Months after her sudden encounter with Anon in the bar, Lightning Dust meets with him to ask him for his help. Anon provides all the help that he can, but he's unsure if he can really be of use. However, he does have a plan, one that Lightning Dust is dead set on setting in motion.

She just hopes that his plan will work. She’s got nothing left to lose but herself.


Inspired by Thrown's Guilt and Kardashev's Beyond Sun and Moon/Torchpassing.

Fun story. I like this take on Lightning. With Anon around, there's no need for Washouts.

As with the previous story, rough here and there but very enjoyable with an italicized very.

Her heart raced her brain and almost took a curb too fast.

Lovely image there, i like that

“Are you sure he’s not your type?”

LOLOLOLOL, how sweet

Yes. :trollestia:

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the Washouts episode, so I'm glad that I was able to create something that deviated from that episode entirely, and focused more on what could've been. Happy you enjoyed the fic! :twilightsmile:

Yep. The sequel is finally here! I'm super happy about it as well.

Thank you for the feedback too. Happy that you enjoyed this very much. :pinkiehappy:

Going to take another editing pass over this once everything is said and done on both fics, but that won't be until I get some other stories I got in mind out of my noggin. Also got some stories that are set to incomplete on my account as well to tackle first. If you have any advice on how to correct some of the roughness, let me know in private messages! I don't mind at all.

This was really good. Certainly a much better direction for Lightning than the show decided to take her. But then, I'm a sucker for a good redemption story, so well done. I can only imagine what kind of shenanigans Lightning and Anon will get up to back in Ponyville, and how things will go with the inevitable confrontation with Rainbow Dash. I know this is likely your intended end for this story, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye open in case Lightning strikes thrice.

I had to shake the amount of surprise that came from the Wonderbolt interaction.

You've written extremely well, Wordsmith!

The way a captain, specifically all officers, talks to their men and woman speaks volume of their character. You've decided to portray a realistically flawed but compassionate leader very well!

I could have easily mistaken this version of Spitfire as any real life army officer.

I can't overstate how well done you've written their interactions out to be. These kinds of characters change lives!

Awesome writing, again, Wordsmith!

Happy you enjoyed the fic! I'm down to write another story in the future, but we will see. I have to an idea scream at me for me to write it, and I have a lot of projects to work through before I can return to this one.

Thank you, Screw! I was working through how I wanted to portray Spitfire in this fic and based on comments I got from the original, the thought process was to make Spitfire very much like an officer that would be understanding of Lightning Dust (LD) but definitely firm in making LD wait to possibly get that second chance as Spitfire's hooves and wings are tied. Thought that would be a nice touch and it seems I nailed that scene entirely! Happy you enjoyed that scene and the fic!
