Raven Inkwell was the loyal secretary of the princess, but then a new princess came along. She'd have to learn a new place in Equestria to be useful, and deal with an old princess at the same time.

Done as a collab with RadicalDishonesty!

Should be updated once per week.

Interesting premise. Looking forward to more.

Looking forward to writing more. :heart:

That was a good first chapter goodluck with the rest of it.

Ri2

Well hey, Luna, if you want to continue squatting in a crumbling ruin...

... There is SO much more here than at first blush. *Oh*, am I excited~

Just from this first chapter I can tell this is going to be a good story. And even better, a good Raven Inkwell story!

Please don't leave it with just one chapter. Will be here to read every new release!

This is an interesting start.

This entire foray is *absolutely fascinating*, and to see Raven so on the back hoof, and Luna... noticeably in pain, if she wasn't so obvious about hiding it. Not that anypony would notice. Or ask. Because It Simply Isn't Done.

And here we are.

So rare to see Raven as the main character. I have to say that this story hits all the right notes.

At least they managed to reac some common ground. I wonder how often Raven had to work with Princess Luna before this point.

An interesting start, let's see where it goes. :pinkiesmile:

I don't know what to comment here... The personalities of the characters just feel so alive that I genuinely feel the emotions they are feeling while reading... Loving it. Their interactions feel so real.

Smolder is needlessly aggressive about it but I guess that's not strange for a dragon.

I wouldn't think that so many creatures would object to the restoration of the Castle. I guess you can't please everyone.

I don't think they spoke much about the castle.

11848206
Perhaps. Only how it would limit their access to the treehouse.

Lol, poor Raven, is no one on her side? On the other hand what could she really have expected? There are lots of conflicting interests around the castle. I have a feeling that Twilight needs to make some informed command decisions here. :twilightoops:

"—Raven Inkwell." Raven nodded properly.

Raven: —Raven Inkwell. 間違いないで!

The two stood there, in the grass and sun, the construction behind them, the wind blowing between them, as neither gave way.

I feel so torn... Raven is my favourite and I empathize with how stressful this is becoming for her... But I also have been in the EXACT situation the student six are in right now!!!
I don't want them to take Raven to court for trying to block their access to a communal entrance.
(We won that lawsuit by the way. The judge ruled that no one party could unilaterally block a communal entrance. And that even if we were given a way to open the gate he wanted to install, that could still lead to our access being unavailable in some situations.)
I guess there's going to have to be a permanently open way for the student six to enter and exit freely... Maybe a tunel, with the spirit of the Tree of Harmony acting as guardian... I think there might be a way to go up from the cave where the tree was into the treehouse!

He bowed to the princesses.

'princess'. Singular, unless Raven took the title at some point.

Would Equestria be better off?

It's good that Raven managed to find a solution for the problem with the tree and the courtyard.

Probably. And Princess Raven Inkwell has a nice ring to it. And therein lies the possibility of an interesting story: For whatever reason Celestia is absent and Raven has to rule Equestria in her place, shenanigans happen.

But I think Raven is happy just scheduling the Princess days, rather than living the Princess days.

Raven has one good day. Girl deserves it.

Tomorrow they'll find out cockatrices have been nesting in the castle dungeon or something xD

I'm gonna say that Equestria probably would start to resemble modern Germany a bit. Lot's a bureaucracy and ponies that follow all the rules.

And maybe a town called Ravensburg somewhere...

Raven Inkwell, Princess of the Office!

[Fun Fact]
In the comic My Little Pony: Friends Forever #3, offscreen, Raven was indeed in charge of Equestria for a few hours while Princess Celestia went on an adventure with Spike xD

Raven coming clean to Luna, and the Princess in turn warming to her? oh, that's quite welcome indeed... one step at a time <3

... and I get the feeling Luna is enjoying reminiscing and knowing Raven cares.

“In a nearby chamber, there is a room there is what looks like a metal dome, correct?

“In a nearby chamber, there is a room in which there is what looks like a metal dome, correct?


"I am just like another esteemed royal pony I know, desperate to be validated."

I like this line a lot.

Determining which items are safe and whichare not is very important. Fortunatley Luna knows the answers.

From funny to emotional to ominously in 1926 words.

RAven is right that the suggestions certainly aren't without merit.

Insert Luna petting the geese hahahaxD

Gotta be careful with those load bearing scrolls.

Also, totally borrowing this as a trap idea for my pathfinder game.

It was at this moment she knew...

They bucked up.

That's bad but hopefullly they can solve it quickly.

"Load bearing scrolls" is a wonderful phrase.

"You had to take the glowing scroll out of the chest" I'm guessing Luna will teleport everyone out

Scoria snorted soot. “Who died and made you princess? I was asked to find the scroll, and I’m going to.”

Me: Hey! She practically a Princess herself, you know!

Well... The castle is going down.

I’m sure that Twilight Sparkle’s will not give up on her goal

Should be Twilight Sparkle will not. Can't have typo's here.
