Fission


T

It's a night at the bar for the Elements of Harmony. Rarity tries to find a drink suitably classy for herself and ends up presenting Twilight with an interesting proposition.

Originally written for the Thirty Minute Ponies prompt #223: Lips like wine, a tongue like honey.
This is presented in a revised form, as there some rather obvious problems with the original writing. I suppose that's what writing a story in 30 minutes will do to you.

Chapters (1)

I like this. A lot. Also if you're up to it, I see the possibility for at least one or two more chapters/a sequel.

Did you get that cover image from any place in particular?
It pleases Rarity. Very much so.
As did your story.

1938076 Well, I'm not sure it's very likely that I'll be continuing or extending this particular story, as it was really just intended to be a piece of flash-fiction. However, I've definitely been toying with the idea of writing a longer RariLight fic, amongst other pairings I'm interested in writing.

1938092 Glad to hear it!

1938156 actually, concerning the image, while I was looking for the right sort of image on derpibooru last night, I remembered seeing this particular screencap from the show on prior occasions. Naturally, when I looked for it, I couldn't find it anywhere (at least without a caption already on it) so I went on youtube and screencapped the scene myself. If you're curious, it's from The Ticket Master.

A general note: I really love shipping stories, and I wish that I had already written more, but I have a sort of habit of becoming overly critical of my own ideas as soon as I begin working on them. Thirty Minute Ponies is helping me to get past that, a bit. I'm definitely trying to give some potential fics some time to marinate in my brain, and I've felt pretty good about the writing I've done recently, so hopefully there will be more from me in the somewhat near future

1938156 *cough* season one: episode one *cough* And if that isn't enough of a hint: "Oh, we're just going to be the best of friends, you and I!" (Rarity)

And comment to the story: What? Where is the ending? As it stands now, it might counts as a scene, ripped out of a story, and posted for fun, but with only this few words, it can't even be considered a story.

Cognac is expensive. Well the good stuff.

1938304 surprisingly enough, it's actually not that scene. I totally thought that was where it was from when I started looking for it, but it's actually from the Ticket Master here.

Hehe, literally the exact mistake that I made.

EDIT: Also, I suppose this could be considered more of a scene than a story, but that's often the case with flash fiction. There's rarely an actual defined conflict, but here I tried to at least create a bit of a sense of Twilight's mental conflict over potentially "getting with" one of her friends. Also, I thought the ending itself was defined, at least to the point that we know what likely happened afterwords. This was originally written in only 30 minutes so I intentionally left the ending ambiguous. Plus, I think it makes the story a bit better than if I had written a scene of Twilight and Rarity going back to the library and making out/having sex or what have you. But yes, I wouldn't particularly disagree with the opinion that this is more a scene than a story, but i also don't think the term "story" is incorrect in describing it.

1938323 Oh. Indeed. Just looked it up.
Anyway, that doesn't prevent the rest of my comment to be incorrect :twilightsheepish:

Thank you very much.
It's quite cute.
I'm a sucker for Twi/Rarity

I can see why it was rated Teen. I thought it would be a lie for some reason. Short, but really impressive. You should right a sequel, though.

You must write a full RariLight fic!

This can't end well when those two sober up.... :facehoof:

....But it'll be a hoot. :rainbowlaugh:

1938461 no problem. Glad you enjoyed the story!

1938587 well, didn't really want to turn the story into a clopfest. I hope you enjoyed it anyway, though.

1938850 I appreciate the compliments, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the story! I'm not sure if I'm going to do a sequel, although the idea is growing upon me a bit to try writing a bit about the morning after. I definitely intend to write some more RariLight in the future though, whether it ends up related to this story or not.

1939223 I intend to! At the very least I plan on writing a oneshot of a more standard length. Right now I'm mostly just waiting for the right ideas to come to me before i get back to full-length fics.

1939623 absolutely it will be! The funny thing is that I honestly barely thought of that until after I wrote the whole story. Personally, I see Twilight as having made the decision mostly of her own volition. At least I tried to make her thoughts seem like she was still [for the most part] in her right mind. Rarity, though, I would say got pretty sloshed. I would say that one of my favorite parts of this fic is the ambiguity. I never really decided what exactly goes on offscreen here, so you can really think what you want about what happens after; if the characters have underlying motivations, or is this truly spur-of-the-moment; etc. Glad you enjoyed the story!

Well, hopefully I'll here more from you.

Then Twilight pulled out a double sided mariglave and ruined a marshmallow.:twilightoops::raritycry:
Rarity, go home your drunk. :rainbowlaugh:

This was good, and now for some reason, I kinda want to know more about the negative heat transfer theory. To Wikipedia!

>>>FillyRarity>>> im a sucker for RariLight stories too! I cant really explain why but nonetheless its probably in my top 3 shipping's of ponies.

>>>Fissionprime>>> Great start to the story I like where this story is going, :duck: I would like to maybe present two things i like most in these types of stories: 1. longer drawn-out plot where more and more events lead them two to liking one another over time, and the other i would suggest is applying realism to the events that draw their relations together with much detail.
>>>Fissionprime>>>besides that though I see this to be the start of a bright shining new favorite story of mine! keep rocking it! bro-hoof*:raritywink:

Congratulations, this story has good enough grammar to be included in the Good Grammar Directory, a comprehensive list of gramatically-correct stories on Fimfiction. :eeyup:

I was really confused by "snifter" for a while. In the UK, where I live, it means a small casual drink, not a balloon brandy glass! :P
