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?)

Hmmm...was Twister the first Wonderbolt or something?
Loved this little series.

I figure the Wonderbolts aren't 1000 year old team so I just call her team the "Twisters". Maybe eventually that leads to regular formation flying, dunno

I find it absolutely the saddest thing, the immortality of the alicorns. How many groups of heroes such as this has Princess Celestia formed over the centuries? She has watched them all live and die before her eyes. Being immortal... what a horrifying curse.

Perhaps. But just like watching MLP and enjoying it's universe, we know it will eventually end. Knowing that, we must appreciate it while it's here as fully and wholeheartedly as we can. And when it's gone, we don't lament its loss, we celebrate that it was.

Truly, this is sagacity and wisdom to match your artistic talents. After all, death is the only order in the chaos of existence, eh? Even stars die eventually. I suppose we should simply enjoy what we have, no matter whether it lasts forever, or simply offers a fleeting illusion of happiness.

cool! i think i read it all but i might have skipped over some words! that was a lot of writing!!!

Yeah, it's more of a fanfic with lots of pictures than anything

Why Winter Willow cannot read Crabapple? He is element of honesty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I figure it's just a natural course of events that some people are hard to read. Either that or it's related to Crabapple learning to protect his thoughts and feelings.
