Tanner Cleff never had much luck when it came to mares. His social awkwardness often thwarted even the best attempts of his wing-pony and trusted confidant Cooper.
So when the seemingly perfect moment presents itself to steal a duty-free kiss one St. Patrick's Day, Tannor takes his chance.

Very nice!
Excellent writing, and that was a nice touch with the song in the middle there.
You deserve a moustache (or two).
So... Why did she go for him? I'm not asking for a sappy romance, I'd just like to know her perspective.
I remember The Rocky Road to Dublin. Get jiggy wit it. :P

The Rocky Road to Dublin is a slipjig, bhuachaill.
2419355 First time I've ever heard the phrase. Huh. Somethin' new every day.

The standard rhythms for Irish dance music are the standard jig (6/8) reel (2/2 or 4/4) and slipjig (9/8).
Strethspeys and hornpipes sometimes get mixed in, though they're technically scottish and british respectively.

2419389 Yeah, sounds about right. Got a decent collection of teh Irish tunes in my library.
There are few things more pathetic than kids who listen to ear-raping Bostonian metal and call it Celtic. Synth-dripping New Age is more "celtic" than that trash.
I couldn't help but think of "Fairytale of New York" all the way through reading this.
Sláinte! Excellent story!

I agree, needs more Lyra-perspective, especially after the Irish Devil setup.
A little late, but not bad, I only skimmed though, sorry.

Every time I see your avatar I die a little from diabetes on the inside.

Love that picture. I can see Lyra dancing those Irish dance moves. I forget what they are called, but I know that the dance has a lot of leg movement.
Finally a holiday special fic. Been looking everywhere for one.
2434567 u mean a jig or the Irish river dance? i do both but very poorly
Is the song a real song???
The correction of this small typo would improve this already admirable work.
Always nice to see Lyra and Bon Bon as only housemates.
