Fanfic teaser: Stirrup A Hornet's Nest
02/27/11(Sun)23:07 No.23881715Since we're a bit low on OC at the moment, here's a teaser for something I've been working on.
(This story is set between Applebuck Season and Griffon The Brush-Off.)
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Stirrup A Hornet's Nest
Twilight Sparkle's residence in Ponyville had become semi-permanent. Due to her studies of the magic of friendship, she had taken the job of part-time librarian. It was a position that involved cataloguing, at which she excelled, and book recommendation, at which she was less skilled. Who knew that a lifetime of reading nonfiction wouldn't prepare her to keep up on the latest fiction and magazines? Who knew books could be so much work?
A loud knocking resonated through the voluminous hollow trunk of the library tree. "Oh, that must be the mailmare," said Twilight, heading toward the door. The mailmare never came in when she delivered the mail, even though the door wasn't locked during library hours.
Twilight opened the door, and as expected, there stood Derpy Hooves. Her left eye looked straight at Twilight, but the other was drifting down and to the right. She had a few packages neatly piled on the doorstep. "And the band played on," she said, smiling, as she gestured to the stack of boxes.
"Thank you, Ms. Hooves," said Twilight, and gestured to the small pile of envelopes next to the door. "Here are today's late notices."
Derpy took the notices, swiftly sorting them into pockets in her mailbag. Then she turned around, and flew away, tilted severely to the left but flying in a perfectly straight line. |
