A one-winged Pegasus blacksmith named Swage sets up shop in Ponyville. An old wound has left him grounded, but his heart still belongs to the clouds. When he finds Scootaloo to be a fellow grounded Pegasus, he takes her under his wing and brings her along on his quest to fly again.

Thanks!
“Is there a Pegasus named Quench staying here?” i thought he was a unicorn, anyway great chapter
hot damn this is good. not too sappy not too cheery. it's great keep it up!
1630047 typo! thank you sir or madam
seems good
I really like you descriptions of the way magic looks. Will see where this goes.
Just got real.
Intense way to begin a story, I'll say that much
nothing starts a story quite like dismemberment!
Couple of grammatical errors, but I like the story too much to stop reading.
Am I the only one who thinks Swage is better off without his second wing? I don't think he would have made master with his wing. Bah, it's still unfair, I wouldn't want to give up a leg in exchange for writing talent for example.
This is great story, keep it up!
read it and LOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!
MAKE MORE
1659349 Took a few days to free wight lighter stuff. I really intend to have the next chapter up in the next week.
I have this problem where I get a scene stuck in my head; I have to write it down or it will just stew on my brain. Then that starts a snowball of writing a new story.
In other news "the meek and the brave" will also have a new chapter soon, the first chapters of my "Storyteller; Equestria" should be out soon and I have a messy explosion of writing that may become a TwiDerp ship/clop

Well I like your style! I'd totally love to read all of them,but don't forget to update this too!
Going to be trying for weekly Updates. Next chapter is already outlined.
Holy Horseapples! Way to tell it Scootaloo!
Testify!

Need more. So much good. Words. Not forming sentences. Too much good.
Ehhh, that ending didn't feel quite right. We need a little more closure. Otherwise, done very well.

ch7 is largely a transitional chapter. I feel I could have made a whole story about Swage and Quench reconciling their past, but that's not the story I'm telling. So I risked rushing their relationship change for the sake of the advancing the story.
Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoy my stories.

But I think you've OVERLY rushed it. A few more sentences/paragraphs of awkwardness would have been good to see how they move towards reatonement of friendship.
Also, I didn't mention it before, so: the way Scoots is like "oh for FUCKS SAKE" is pretty much the best part of this chapter.
1710465 Thought about it and I have to agree with you. Going to do a little edit on the last block of conversation.
I was waiting for this to happen! UPDATE!!
Hitting the feels this time
, and the story doesn't pull punches. What's even more impressive is the whole thing is done in like 2000 words 
. That's some efficient story telling. 
Character development chapter. My original idea of using the monomyth formula on this story is shot to peaces. I can't stick to an outline to save my life.

That is ok, I really like the story anyways. It is going to be fun watching this one, I like how you update fairly frequently.
1763077 thank you! Little comments like that keep me writing. Narcesism at its finest.
I like where this is going.
Finally got around to reading this again. Still good, and getting better
. I'm guessing 10 chapters?
1785776 12 was the original goal. looking like 11 now. Next chapter will be late next week.
Volare: Eesh, I feel this guy's pain; had my own right wing torn off in the past
Me: Looking forward to where this goes!
Wow, that is one seriously cool description of what magic "looks" like to Twilight
Wow, pegasi are Elementals, eh?
Interesting...
Again, interesting concept you've got building here. Kinda reminds me of what I'm doing for Blue Angel, about how Pegasus wings are more for stability and power in tandem with a pagasus' inner magic (defined as an extension of willpower in Blue Angel) in order to steer, glide, fly, manipulate weather, etc.
Gotta feel that air to use it, eh?
Jeez, guess he's still sore at Quench for what happened...
Is that Journeyman's cadence something historical or did you invent it for this story, cuz that's a neat concept
I figured Quench had something to do with his injury...poor guy nearly blew his own horn off trying to save him.
I wonder if Swage knows that...
1828037 The cadence is my on imagination. Journeyman in the feudal system, were one of the few free-men that could demand a days pay for their work, and choose freely where they work.
LOL you tell'em, Scoots!
Hopefully they get over it and move on, ya know?
D'aaw that was sweet
Can i get a BY THE DARK GODS? no? i guess i'll settle with a HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING!!!
1858547 Thank you!
Side note 9 and 10 are in the oven. I'm having to work on them at the same time. 9 is being a tough chapter. 10 is almost 100% in my head, and 40% on paper.
1859328 then Best of Luck!
Emperah server and protect
More people should discover this story. It is amazingly written,has good descriptions of the characters,and this is leaving me wanting more. Thank you!

Aww shucks.
great story
I just added this story to bunch of related groups, I hope it shall bring you more views and likes/favorites which you rightly deserve!
1928976
Yeah! I beg you,MOAR!!!
Loved this chapter. I thought earlier that Swage might actually be a better pony without his wing because the disability forced him to grow as a character. But this take on it is even better, it adds a moral dilemma that isn't so abstract to the mix.
This story is so good. So when I nitpick, it's out of love.
firmly
unicorn, not pegasus
rummaged through
1944948 Fix point 1 and 3. Point two I reworded slightly. Though I was referring to Swage. One of the harder things to illustrate in this story it my concept of ritual magic vs. "Unicorn" magic. The fact the Swage can "fake" unicorn magic only muddies things more.
1945422
oh that makes more sense.
I wish I could give you more upvotes this should be in the feature box over yet another romance fic.
1945613 I'm working on a romance too

Side note: Ch10 is well under way. I think It might see the lite of day around the 17th. It's going to be a short, colorful and intense chapter. Ch11 is in the oven, but well just have to see how it grows before I comment on it.
UPDATE: 10 is done, but I'm going to hold it till 11 is finished. 10 has an awkward ending that I don't want left hanging in the breeze.
