And that’s that. That’s the end.

It’s been quite the ride, hasn’t it? Over a year spent writing The Bonds of Love, and over a year and a half spent discussing the actual writing process.

I think I’ve said everything I had to say or even could say about my story, but well? Come on, you all know me enough by now to know I just can’t shut up even when I should.

Sooo…?

To summarize my overall opinions on every major aspect of The Bonds of Love…?

And here we are at last... The final third of the Epilogue's discussion, and thus, the final major installment of the Writing of The Bonds of Love.

No need to dawdle any further, I think. Let's get right into it!

And we’re back with the second half of this chapter’s discussion, so let’s not waste any more time and get right into it!

If this section’s title didn’t already give it away, not much has changed at all in the lovely town of Ponyville.

Here we are. It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally reached the end, and what a wild ride it was getting to this point! With no time to waste, let’s bring this commentary to a close and discuss the grand finale of The Bonds of Love!

And we’re back for the final part of the Ch.15(Family, Part Two) discussion!

The story so far: After a grueling impromptu therapy session, Gallus has finally won Ocean Flow’s approval, and the duo now races toward the surface world to inform Silverstream of this glorious development, alongside an explanation for why such approval was refused for so terribly long…

And at long last, we’re here: The Gallus/Ocean Flow scene. And of course, it gets a whole chapter dedicated to it!

I feel it best to begin by reiterating how Ocean Flow’s beach-side tirade was the very first thing ever conceptualized regarding the Mount Aris arc, becoming fully realized thanks to Great White Prime’s suggestions.

It’s always funny looking at this chapter with that old “I won’t let these chapters exceed 20k words again” promise in mind.

While the first half of the Mount Aris arc was dedicated to Gallus-Stream finally having a break from all the plot-mandated drama so they could actually bask in their love and affection, this half returns us to the status quo to resolve the last of that drama.

Behold! The best chapters in the entire story! I’m not exaggerating; the Mount Aris arc is fantastic! And you have Great White Prime to thank for its existence.

Alright! Time for the second half of Serenity; let’s not waste any time and get right into it!

Continuing where we left off, we open on Gallus and Silverstream on their way to the restaurant, bouncing along in a bumpy but otherwise non-chaotic carriage ride, and—Wait, what do you mean that’s not how we start the chapter?

We’re in the final stretch now, and there’s no better way to begin bringing this story to a close than the event we’ve been hyping up since the very beginning: Gallus and Silverstream’s 2^nd Date.

This has been a long time coming, and you better believe I relished every second I wrote this chapter, especially since I could finally write the lovebirds being actually happy!
