VastaKustutalol
VastaKustutagood thing they havent messd up octavia and vinyl yet... jinx?
Dat rogue agent. lol
VastaKustutaThat description made me laugh.
VastaKustutaThe most interesting premise for a pony fanfiction I have heard in a VERY long time.
VastaKustutaI guarantee I will read this before night's end.
Iz like day concept of day fic, but iz prefer my fic with choppy and killy, and lots of of funny fings. Dis orks likes a good laff!
VastaKustuta"canon" tag in fanfiction
VastaKustutaOkay, that made me laugh a bit.
Woah.
VastaKustutaI read that description, and it was like originality itself punched me in the face.
I'm going to read this simply because it sounds so... unlike any other pony thing I've read.
@karrotlineknock on wood...

VastaKustutaJust going on the description, it's actually similar to one that I saw on FiMFiction focused on Octavia. I didn't like that one too much, but this one seems like it'll be good and funny.
Ok color me intrigue and blue for no reason other than to have an excuse to sign "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"! This sounds interesting! O_O
VastaKustutaDarnit, the title made me think that Spyro the Dragon was getting crossed over into the MLP world. XD
VastaKustutaThat Lyra's a spah!
VastaKustutaThat Lyra's a spah!
VastaKustutaInteresting concept. I might end up reading this.
VastaKustutaWho stole my idea? :P
VastaKustutai have to say when i first looked at the picture it looks like the bench legs were question marks cause lyra was upsidedown
VastaKustutaOh dear Celestia, the description was hilarious. Adding to my reading list.
VastaKustutaI do not seen a Complete or Incomplete tag, but with two chapters, I'm guessing there's going to be more yet to come and that's it currently Incomplete?
VastaKustutaGolden Harvest...rogue agent??? Oh my... This deserves a read... after I get through the rest of my story backlog...
VastaKustutaVERY interested in where this is going. VERY much wanting to read more. I have to say, though, the constant unnecessary references to memes and minor events in the show are going to get annoying at this rate (as in they haven't yet). Hope that calms down before long.
VastaKustutaReading the title, I thought it was an FFX crossover...huh.
VastaKustutaLooks interesting. Added to reading list.
Amusing way of 'solving' the blindbag thing.
VastaKustutaDamit, I have been scooped! :c I was planning of creating a conspiracy story about their names!
VastaKustutaOh well... This is probably going to be better anyway. *reads*
This merits a read.
VastaKustutaI'll put it on my To-do list.
Poor Lyra :-(
VastaKustutaShit knew update! didnt read it yet though
VastaKustutaStarting with chapter 2, I was baffled with what was happening.
VastaKustutaCelestia briefing is confusing to say the least.. She suspects that Carrot Top went rogue, based on lack of response from her... (sorry, I find that hard to believe... wouldn't it be better to send an errand/messenger boy to check on her, rather than just jump to conclusions).
Celestia doesn't give Lyra much to work with. She only tells her that Carrot Top is an undercover agent and doesn't disclose any information on her past assignments... (wouldn't it be weird if Carrot Top was rogue or double agent, and put herself in such spotlight? I would rather believe that the way of communication was compromised...).
So Celestia sends a single agent to disclose a more experienced one, that she thinks might have gone rogue, based on nonexistent intel... (I am starting to get a notion here, that Lyra is a decoy. Celestia doesn't send Lyra because she is such a good agent, but because she is so bad in her profession, and therefore disposable. Princess already have agents observing Carrot Top and now only needs someone to poke around and pressure CT. Celestia makes up a silly briefing for Lyra, and then sends her in... or maybe it is all an elaborate test for Lyra, to check how good she is in what she does, I mean she reports directly to Celestia, there must be some high standards for such agents... right?).
But, I don't know... maybe I am over-thinking it a bit.
I like the idea for your fiction, and your writing is neat, but you really need to think the story through or at least reconsider briefing part (make it more ambiguous or at least make Lyra show some reservations).
This is awesome. I don't have anything else to say about it.
VastaKustutaWhat's a history lesson doing talking away from my Lyra?
VastaKustutaPoor Lyra. She must be feeling green. :-(
Yup. Poor Lyra :-(
VastaKustuta[Comment written as of part 6 publication]
VastaKustutaI'm loving this story so far, one of the first substantial MLP fanfics I've read. The writing is spot-on, the universe background fill is of canon quality, and the characterizations are solid and well defined so far.
I don't feel compelled to really nitpick anything you've written so far. I'm filled with unvoiced warnings about things NOT to do... But you haven't done them after six chapters, so I have high hopes. :D
Lyra is reminding me of Olmy from The Way trilogy of scifi books by Greg Bear. (A good thing.) An agent you can send out with little to no information but with confidence that he'll manage and find out and do more than any other force you could assemble. Quiet, reserved, observant, and - particularly in Olmy's augmented case - self-contained. I look forward to seeing all that she'll discover.
And being a long-time Whovian, I like your use of the Doctor Whooves character as a Duncan Idaho-like (Dune) enigma, and I also look forward to seeing how that plays out... And when. (Hopefully not as a deus ex machina endgame piece. :)
Keep up the great work.
And yet another enjoyable fic gets ignored...
VastaKustutaPoor Lyra though :-(
I think I'll take the alternate ending. Old Man Withers > All.
VastaKustutaHoly crap, this story is getting good. Well, better than it already was.
VastaKustutaNo-hands-wanting Lyra is bets Lyra.
VastaKustutaholy crap, just read that in one sitting. one word- awesomesauce! better than applesauce and 20% more nutritious!
VastaKustutaOk, done with this one. Secret-tyrant Celestia = :-(
VastaKustutaI got up to chapter 14 before I had to stop.
VastaKustutaOkay, no. This chapter (14) was outrageously over the top. I thought I was supposed to be reading a story about Lyra as a spy fighting a secret conspiracy, not some shenanigans about Twilight going bat-sh!t crazy and leading every pony on a crazy mare-hunt. Speaking of which, I thought that the whole mob reaction was waaaaaay out of character. Even if Rainbow Dash had been stirring them up with total lies, I highly doubt that no pony would think to question her, particularly Fluttershy, who was described as being hostile. FLUTTERSHY. Just no. Plus, what kind of lousy spies give up their secrets so readily? I mean, seriously, couldn't Lyra have thought up something besides the truth? She's intelligent enough. Hell, Twilight probably would've bought anything, considering her state of mind. Come to think of it, I thought that Twilight's dementedness was way overdone, just like a lot of this chapter. Too much, too fast. Basically, you've broken my willing suspension of disbelief.
Now, all that said, I did enjoy what you had going up until this Twilight business. You've got some interesting characters set up, and I would genuinely like to see what happens to them. One thing; if the shadowy figure/force is behind Twilight's behavior, could you make it more obvious? If such were the case, I would offer an apology for part of my vitriolic rant.
@Brony Tom And I completely forgot about Celestia. I also thought her anger and such were very out of character. Which, granted, can work, but it must be explained, and I don't feel you explained her behavior well enough for me to believe.

VastaKustutaWow, canon and grimdark.
