Description
This comic series is a side story from this comic series: [link]If you didn't read that first, you'll still enjoy this, but you won't know who these characters are or why they're important.
[Part 1 - Rook ]
[Part 2 - Crabapple ]
[Part 3 - Luau ]
[Part 4 - Rose Petal ]
[Part 5 - Winter Willow ]
[Part 6 - The Garden ]
[Part 7 - The Fall ]
Part 8 - Epilogue <==== You are here
SPOILERS BELOW - READ THE COMIC FIRST!
==========================
Holy wow. 6 months in the making, 8 comics, thousands of layers, hundreds of hours of work. It was worth it.
I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I have. A few things to note about this comic:
* Some of the panels are drawn, not vectored. This is "Tumblr Practice" as I'm considering starting an ask Tumblr
* Now that you know that Crabapple has loved Willow pretty much since they met, some of the other scenes through the comic should make more sense. For example, why he went almost nuts when Willow and the Princess were unconscious. It wasn't the Princess that drove him mad.
* Does something seem... familiar about the two heart healer ponies under Willow? It should. Think a few comics back... Their cutie marks each have significant meaning as well.
* Maybe you're picking up on a few hints that I'm throwing out there. That Crabapple and Willow founded Ponyville. They did. Remember when Twilight said "Earth ponies founded Ponyville hundreds of years ago"? I believe she meant "Non magical ponies" meaning that having it founded by Earth/Pegasus makes sense which is why they use both to wrap up winter (but not magic). As for Granny Smith's account, let's just pretend that Ponyville was abandoned for some reason and Celestia saw the appropriateness of returning it to the Apple family when they came through.
CREDITS:
I finally used someone else's background to save some time. This one for the back of Healer Hall: [link]
Lots of love to Lauren for her imagination and inspiration.
Thanks to Hasbro for being so good about the fanbase (except for toys... let's see some quality plushies ya?)

I have never watched my little pony I never had anything to do with it at all so I was neutral but these stories that you create are just amazing I will probably never watch the show but I will eagerly anticipate the stories that you will create in the future if that is what you will do and I just have to say this was an amazing story I thank you for making these and I hope you have a wonderful life.

Ah, I adore this whole thing! *A* I'm usually not interested in mostly OC mlp comics, but these were great and I had a lot of fun reading through it, even if it's completely different from my own headcanons on the first Nightmare Moon fight.
I actually really like the characters set up for the elements of harmony, and they're not just plain predictable copies of the mane six. You spent time giving each a backstory.
(And ohmygosh, I adore the realization of the slight hints dropped earlier on about Crabapple's love for Willow)

I'm glad if you saw the little clues I left. And if you haven't yet, there's a love story for each of the elements in my tumblr section. So much more to read

I also like Crabapple's element of honesty stems from him being brutally honest. He doesn't tip toe around things or hold words back, but he's still a reliable ally and friend.

Lol! Yup. That's why Ponyville has the tradition of no magic. It was founded by pegasus and earth pony

Crabapple is Applejack's ancestor so of course he founded Ponyville. Willow is Fluttershy's ancestor and I thought it seemed right for them to be together. Together, they founded Ponyville (that's why Rook is teasing Crabapple about being a mayor).

In the last comic, you said "Willow did NOT use "the stare" on Crabapple. She does not and never will possess that particular ability. She used something else that will be more clear in the final comic." I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what she did. I guess it has something to do with his emotions but what?

Nimaru In reply to IntrovertedAngel [2013-07-15 13:05:26 +0000 UTC]
He's in love with her. She doesn't realize it at this point, but she can greatly influence him.

Can we have a comic about how Crabapple fell for Winter Willow? Was it love at first sight or more gradual?

Are you kidding? I already have most of it written. It's been ready for over a year... it's just that other things have to be finished first

Actually, now that I think about, I wanna know how everyone met each other. We know Rook was Rose's sponsor. Everyone had some business that involved working in the palace but hearing about their meetings would be interesting.
Also, you mentioned Rose came from a poor family. I assume after she started working in the palace gardens, things improved. Can you confirm this?

That was beautiful, man. I'm glad my friend Introduced me to your work.
And y'know. Willow kinda reminds me of the Ralts line from Pokemon. Green and White, feels the emotions of others, feels joy when others do and has hellish nightmares when feeling negative emotions, it all screams Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir to me.

this is my headcanon, and thus shall remain so. HUZZAH! I now have a complete awesome tale of woe and wonderful awesomeness about the days 1000 years ago in the Land of Equestria.
Fantastic story, mate. really glad you went through and did all this. it all looks just utterly magnificent.

Yup! And it's not done yet. The original story that I wanted to do hasn't even been started. Consider all the rest of my art practice for the real deal.

So, "The Real Story" you made, I started reading that, I don't know, hours ago.
I got through that one, & started reading this one, just finished it.
I CAN'T STOP CRYING!!!
These stories are amazing & adorable!
I'm a sucker for happy endings, triumphs over great adversity, honor & loyalty, and most of all, true love. <3
Thank you so much for creating such incredibly emotional stories.
