False Door


If you like feeling awful, you've come to the right place.

This story was commissioned by Caladis

Despite her lineage and ongoing best efforts, Flurry Heart has always struggled to make a romantic connection. When left to her own devices, she tends to over share and overwhelm prospective stallions with her desperation and foal-like quirkiness. Unable to find a true special somepony or take the Crystal Empire throne without getting married, her life as a princess is beginning to look bleak. But her hope is rekindled when she meets Equestria's only resident human who seems to share many of her bizarre proclivities.

Interesting enough premise. Flurry feels a bit too much like a 4chan shut-in, but I'll give it a shot.

>I tip my fedora to the stallion

(My apologies if these memes are old. It's been quite a while.)

Space em out a bit and it should be fine. Make it too dense and she'll be a cringelord. Considering we are going to get some (probably more) from the human, a little can go a long way.

Pretty good start of a story and if cadence is the wacky femcel then you gotta have her some human that's kinda wacky like Nigel from Nigel m chalmers or nav from diaries of a madman as a awkward kind of shitposter

Good lord what he do ? Post some flames ?

He posted an ad for an online casino in German. Not terrible but I believe it's against the rules of FimFiction.

11836917
That's kinda the idea. Flurry and Anon are perfect for each other in the worst possible way.

11836938
Yes hopefully I get graced with more chapters cause a flurry x human with some comedy gotta be funny as hell and also something that's never really been done before or alot, something new,refreshing and unique.

Can't wait.

It's a commission. The story will continue so long as I don't run out of money.

Flurry knocked down a crouton into a puddle of thousand Island dressing. “I didn't invite anyone . I almost didn't invite myself, what with my penchant for ruining important moments. It’s fine; we can have a big flashy ceremony later but yeah, I'm already legally married. Done deal. We never have to talk about it again. Just slip the throne under my door on your way out.”

This has to be my favorite paragraph from chapter 1.

You know . . Empress and Consort of the Empire should probably be able to simply change the law so that Flurry can take over without being married.

Shining: I think it's finally time to declare a TKO on Flurry's love life.
Cadance: If we let her off the hook now, we'll NEVER get the grandfoals!
:pinkiecrazy:

Flurry screwed up her face before absently knocking a cherry tomato off of her salad mound. “Well, it went-” She paused, trying to come up with an encouraging way to describe her experiences but came up empty. “It went ,” she sufficed, nodding evasively.

LOL. Its so rare finding a witty story, this feels like a blast of fresh air. I await the next update

This was so bizarrely casual. Cadance seems surprisingly chill with her daughter dating a human. And Anon and Flurry have almost child-like conversations. I'm not expecting them to delves into the depths of each others psyches and souls, but I do hope their conversation runs a bit deeper in the next chapter.

11839987
They've just barely met each other here.

11839998
No, I get that. I guess I'm looking for them to have a deeper hook. Something that actually draws them together other than the very surface level stuff they have been talking about. I understand that when you meet a stranger, you got to cover a lot of basics first. Even though they spent the afternoon together they both feel like they hardly know each other but they are very interested in each other. Can you see how that can be slightly confusing?

I'm trying not to be overly critical, just trying to put into words my expectations vs what I read. I'm not against what's happening, but I'm also unsure of how things are proceeding.

I liked this. Causal and innocent. Also a great set up for a real date.

11840027
The story is overall silly but there will be serious and deeper moments as the story/their relationship develops.

Twilight the wimsy hater

11839987
At this point, I think Cadance just wants her to date anyone.

Cadance sat up. “Oh, don't downplay it. A date is a date. See? I knew this would be a good experience for both of you. Anon's a great guy but I don't think your Aunt Twilight fully appreciates his… whimsy.”

She's just a shut in nerd, what does she know about being cool !!!.

Also another great chapter although seems a lil too fast of the whole "connection" thing but I guess that's how incels and femcels work, latch in the closest thing that gives them attention

“Oh… that Bowstring,” he corrected woodenly. “Yeah, gayer than springtime, that one.”

Lmao!! Lots of good humor in this one. :yay:

Moar plez!! :fluttershysad:

Imagine that, Shining being a big fat jerk. Who could have seen that coming? /s

“Apparently a lot of ponies,” shrugged Anon.

Shots fired!

I can't tell if Shining is trying to do Cadance's job with the dating advice or if he's just very poorly trying to protect Flurry. Good chapter over all, worth the wait.

Anon slowly sipped his drink with a concerned expression.

And that’s when Anon knew… he bucked up. :unsuresweetie:

I was wondering how Flurry was going to try to keep Anon around since he was only scheduled to be in the Empire for a week. She done figured it out! :yay:

Anon shook his head. “No. I really think it's more than that.”

And between the cafe and here, Anon got on board with it. :moustache: I wonder what Twilight will say? If the ponies of Ponyville couldn’t get over to his side, and all the creatures from the School of Friendship couldn’t either… :ajsmug: Might as well take an opportunity when it presents itself, I guess.

Shining is skeptical of them making such a huge commitment so quickly with a clear head and is seeing if their decision can pass a simple scrutiny test before it's full steam ahead.

Various fantastical scenes of ensuing trauma, drama, imprisonment, murder, running away and their family otherwise being torn apart at the seams, flashed through her brain. “Is this worth becoming a villain over? Anon has a good heart. I can envision them working well together despite such a short run up. We can get them to drag out the engagement a little just to make sure.”

When I heard the last part of this this saying came up in my head either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Wow Shining. Dragging out the engagement is fine, outright denying the whole thing seems a bit much.

lol Anon and Flurry are both cute together. :twilightsmile:

I can’t tell if Twilight is secretly jealous or both relieved and worried that she’s unloaded her inter dimensional weirdo on Flurry / the Crystal Empire. And I like that.

I want to imagine Shining’s face was twitchy and sweaty during the breakfast just because the image reminds me of a Bill Murray movie, What About Bob. :rainbowwild:

An entire newspaper mostly kept afloat by the princess' shenanigans

“It's cute,” said Cadance.

Everything about this was perfect.

The Anon riding on Flurry's back kind of reminds me a similar situation in 'All's Fair in Love and War' by CrimsonWolf360, specifically chapter 34.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the bizarre mental picture of Shining apparently climbing on his eventual wife's back so that he can soar through the sky, possibly going 'Weeeeeee!'

11850401
From Flurry's reaction, I'm sure she thought her mom meant the other type of riding.

11850401
Anon needs to paint this and mount it next to the one of Celestia.

Perfect.

An overwhelming explosion of dueling emotions broke upon him like a tsunami. It was all an accident but it was all orchestrated. There was no way back but by the esoteric force which brought him here. He was summoned against his will to try out for the part of Flurry Heart’s soulmate, selected from an infinite multitude of other beings in the multiverse and now it seemed, after finally understanding his place here, only now was he offered passage back to his own world and his own family.

This right here is perfection. Perfect pain, perfect loss. To find love and then have to choose between love and returning to a normal life. Imagine knowing that something as powerful as the Crystal Heart or the Tree of Harmony choose you for something and then having to decide if you want it?

“It's someone else’s turn," she whispered sternly.

Wow, Twilight. :applejackunsure:

Anon looked back at the dimensional rip, standing there, waiting for him. “I might know where she went,” he breathed.

Should be an easy decision, Anon. Maybe you can toss some letters and photo albums through the tear?

I'd be sorely tempted to kick the Crystal Heart off it's pedestal. Sure it brought him to Equestria to match up with Flurry on her wish, but to test his resolve by giving him a portal back AFTER he declared his love her? That's fucking cruel.

Could send a letter to inform his family he's okay

Twilight is being a real bro now. :moustache: That’s cool. Way better than when she was admitting she was pawning Anon off on Shining. :trollestia:

I noticed that Shining wasn’t depicted this chapter. If he’s aware of Anon’s decision, I imagine he’s quietly boiling somewhere and trying really hard not to show it. lol :rainbowlaugh:

About the only reasonable outcome here. Still not happy with the Crystal Heart, but if the journal works, other than a two way portal you can't really ask for more.

Interesting development. I suppose we’ll get to learn some about that time differential question. Is the text permanent? I wonder if they’re limited to the number of pages or if it fades out with time. :duck: I don’t think that was an issue with Sunset because that portal was stabilized and they could just make a new book if it filled up.

Even so, if Anon’s talented with a pen, he could send a drawing of his wedding… :raritystarry: I imagine the parents might appreciate that after getting over the multi dimensional drama. :unsuresweetie:

That definitely could be a 'You're Mom' joke right there

I was not anticipating either time skip. You got me good. :twilightsmile: Definitely had a good time with this one. 👍🏻

Battlestar... lol.
