Fou’s sequential psych-breakdowns are a thing of cruel beauty. Panel 11’s tipping point keeps stabbing me in the aorta.

i actually had to reread this to understand why trixie wanted to listen to Maud’s poems. now i get it, and wow.

@Dr. Rabbit  
I dunno…
 
When she’s standing straight up, she looks like a pony that tried jumping out of a cake covered in purple icing (with red icing on top), but got stuck.

@ShimmeringStallion  
It’s nice, but I’ve seen better.

@Turbotowns  
Same thing she wore here:

Her very best gown/dress/thing.

WAIT!!! What is Trixie wearing?…

@Background Pony #7A2A  
yeah, that’s basically it. thanks.

I agree with this but this can be mostly tl:dr’d to “It’s a good story since the characters are realistic shades of gray instead of japanese VN dolls”

This is probably one of the best shipping stories I’ve ever read. And I don’t even like Shipping stories.
 
What makes this one work is that, not only do both characters grow to care for each other, but their characters are explained in interesting ways without breaking established character. Trixie is narcissistic to the point of being terrified of what others would think of her, but she can be a good person if she’s shown how. Maud is possessive and maybe a tad obsessed, but act’s as Trixie’s anchor, and has traits that her monotone demeanor wouln’t usually suggest.
 
Whether or not the comic will follow canon is unclear, but that merely adds to the intigue.
 
Also, Pinkie being there is also a plus.

@AstralFrankie
 
Because the original had a spelling error that was corrected in this version.

Why is this posted twice?

I love these two.

Cute :D

You know you have a dedicated fan if nearly two-thirds of the pictures of one particular ship are drawn by one person.

Awwwww <3

“that this stupid pony we’ll see”
 
“we’ll” should be “will”.
 
Aside from that… Maud better make sure they make it home before she reads the poetry.

@Tetrominon
 
Oh, yes! While I would sweep her off her feet with the superior entertainment of 1992’s “Tom and Jerry the movie”.

Tiny horse romance is kill me in a good way

@Thecokeman2  
Not enough guilt and dead ponies around.

i have run out of comments to say other than, daw, awesome and sweet.

From a distance, thought this was Blackjack.

How pitiable.
 
Once a seeker of the limelight, now scared every flicker of recognition will burn her.

This ship is just so perfect and makes me feel things

“An old book of poems”? You are in for a treat tonight, Trixie!
