nicolasmandias said...

oh i love this story, the ending could have been more romantic or something, but it's great anyways!

Ogopogo said...

Pretty good. It seems to have a large amount of potential and I am interested to see where it is headed from here.

@Travis Smith
You must be sick, if you think anypony is better than rarity :P

@Michael Butcher

Why are you blaming Seth for the best pony remark? Stuff written under "Additional tags" comes from the author when submitting the story.
Stuff under "labels" is what comes from Seth.

I think a lot of people aren't aware of this.

Travis Smith said...

@Eversor Mundias
Good thing my doctor prescribed exorcise and fresh air instead of sitting at home in a sweater

Stormcaller said...

Wait. I though we blamed Seth for everything...

We're not Supose to?

*blinks*

Oh wow...sorry Seth. Didn't mean to blame you for the whole sinking of the titanic...or killing the dinosaurs ..or for the Hindenburg...

Travis Smith said...

@Stormcaller
Don't forget the Stock market crash in the 30's

Nocciolina Felice said...

Soo, The Lucky One after Au Revoir Simone's song?

Fifth Alicorn said...

Interesting. This fic had all the build-up for it, but ended just as you would expect a friend-shipping tag to end. Very anti-climactic

RandomFanguy said...

Read this on ff.net a while back. Its a good fic filled with care and suffering.

Spoiler Alert: It ends in a less than shippy way. I.E, not a full-blown pairing.

Aullie96 said...

Octavia is best pony.

Get at me haters

Mr. Unsmiley said...

I usually hate Big Mac pairings, but I think I'll give this one a chance. :)

Evan MacIan said...

@Nocciolina Felice
After the Alison Krauss & Union Station song.

Nocciolina Felice said...

Damn... Haven't listened to that one. I was hoping I'd be right. Oh well.

ponydoraprancypants said...

Wait, so the boutique burned down, and Rarity's parents' house burned down? Or did the author just forget she has parents who live in Ponyville ... Not quite polished enough for EQD, compared the top tier of fics we get. But ... I can't argue that Rarity is best pony!

BlankFlankBrony said...

Good story, although the phrase "canon happens" applies here.

sirMAXX said...

rarity get to know big macintosh better, uh oh.

Dequan said...

I would like to point out that this was written BEFORE sisterhooves social was made and no information had been given on Rarity's parents and where Sweetie Belle lives. On the topic of the fic I'm still very new to fanfiction (having an understandably negative and fearful view of it after some....intresting examples) and had mostly just clung to Allegrezza and tried hard to stay away from anything with shipping in grimdark in it but I have to say this was a good story with my only complaint being that it had a good 8 chapters of a build with a....more then disappointing ending.Of course this is my opinion and it will obviously differ from others opinion.

Mysecsha said...

Help I am stuck in best pony feedback loop it goes twilight no aj no rarity no fluttershy no spitfire no twilight

...PURPLE PONY IS BEST PONY

Scorched Wing said...

Eeeewww, heteroshipping?
*scornful disdain*

zaptiftun said...

Nicely done, certainly an enjoyable read. :)

Magical Trevor said...

Should be interesting... Still, seems like the idea was taken from Knights of Equestria, where there's minor RariMac shipping that seems similar to this. Still, I haven't read this, and I read EVERY shipping story that comes out, so I hope I get to eat my words later, because I'm HUNGRY!

Scootalove said...

..The Lucky One by Celldweller?
I'll think about it

Dave said...

This was...cute. I liked it.

Your final author's notes were rather appropriate. It's a nice, succinct story. Wrapped up in a neat little package.

I'd like to see where this proceeds in this universe, I like how you gave this shipping a subtle nudge over eight chapters, you can fill a lot of pages with what you can still dicuss.

Though I guess that means you'd have to pretty much ignore Sisterhooves Social, unless you rewrote Rarity's story here.

AlexReffand said...

lol'd @ "Rarity is the best pony don't even" tag

Might give this a read later on, looks somewhat promising.

Kyronea said...

It was rather well written. I initially expected, from the shipping tag, to see Rarity and Big Machintosh end up in a relationship--the only pairing with Big Mac that I don't disapprove of, in fact.

While that didn't happen, what did happen felt nice and satisfactory, and I'm not about to blame the author for the issues canon caused with the backstory for Rarity's parents, since Sisterhoove Special premiered after it was done, after all.

Magical Trevor said...

*Om nom nom* Eating my own words is fun! 8D

It was a great read, though didn't seem quite worthy of the shipping tag. Lightshipping or friendshipping maybe, but they didn't even date or anything, and the relationship is only SLIGHTLY hinted at beginning. Since it hasn't started by the end of the fic, I feel just a little jyped by the semi-misleading tag, but the author has a chance to make it up, since they said they might return to it later. (YOU'D BETTER!!!)

Thats not how you spell Applejack Seth.. now say it with me..Apple-Jack!

Phishstrangler75 said...

Great story. First fanfiction I've read so far. Great chick-novelish social feel plus pseudo-medico feel gets me every time. Love it love it.

Ragdollfrey said...

I liked this a lot, especially how the shipping wasn't right up in your face like it is in most fics. It was nice, subtle, but there. Very sweet!

Ragneki5880 said...

I really liked this fanfic, very well written and matched the personalities of the characters.
A Shipping tag? It's more so friendshipping than what would be considered shipping.

statoose said...

I really enjoyed this, and I'm glad to hear it will be continued! I took a good two-and-a-half hours to sit down and read it from begining to end. Well worth the comitment!

I really like the way the shipping aspect of it was more subtle, and the story was left open-ended. Again, looking forward to the continuation :D

MAKE ANOTHER ONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

Selenelion said...

Why does the Fimfiction on the second story have a password on it? What is it?

Timber said...

Whhat's with needing a password for story 2?

da4478e2-b047-11e1-a720-000bcdca4d7a said...

Good question. I want to read part 2...

Evan MacIan said...

@da4478e2-b047-11e1-a720-000bcdca4d7a
Sorry guys, I'm an idiot. It should work now.

Evan MacIan said...

@Evan MacIan
Oh, and just in case I'm still an idiot, if the password's still there it's "Mistaken" (without the quotes). No, it's not my password for anything else.

Starfall said...

Hmm... RariMac. Not sure if I'm going to read this, because I don't usually read shipping anyway.

Seems interesting though, and apparently what the password for the second one is is maybe, "Mistaken" without the quotes.

Evan MacIan said...

@Starfall
The password restriction's gone.

Starfall said...

@Evan MacIan

Ok, thanks. Just trying to help out others. *derp*

I'll admit, one thing i miss about the old blogger system is how you got to see how many comments an article had on the mobile version before clicking on it
