>The follow-up scene after the spanking with Anon was pretty adorable with Glitter having to come in the next day and show off her even more reddened rear, much to her embarrassment. At first I figured she wasn't very regretful for what she had done, but as the scene went on I think she convinced me that she really did not mean to spend that much in the end, having let her own addiction get control of her, and I thought the scene after Celestia, forgiving pony she is, offered to help her make up for it with yard work was touching for the two friends, especially seeing how awful she felt after. The last scene with him forcing her to listen as *he* took a bath was delightfully cruel after-punishment, but it's also nice in knowing Anon is starting to learn from Celestia's example to relax. >I was rather impressed at Denis being able to keep himself controlled during Celestia's 'internship', I thought he'd really take the situation and run with it, but maybe that threat of a sexual harassment suit (good on Anon to be mindful of Celestia's feelings on the matter and have her back) did a good deal to keep him in check. The scene with her being driven nuts by him grabbing the wing was enjoyable, 'preening' them like that would definitely come off as very 'intimate' I think, I think you played up her conflicted emotions on the matter and his extreme embarassment afterwards very well. >Denis playing with her after the fact though dug him right back in the hole tho. Taking advantage to tease her in a moment of vulnerability, making unwanted comments on her tail and privates and making incredibly in-appropriate jokes/advancements, however on point they may be, was exactly the sort of callousness I was expecting. His nonchalant attitude after Celestia threatened him with a suit to stop didn't exactly help either, I'm curious what Anon would have to say about his partner's behavior, there's being playfully forward and then there's being a creep. >Was impressed with Heavy Hoof knowing to give his innuendos, in turn, a rest after a glare from Celestia. The pony-meetup scene was cute, with both Glitter and Celestia getting a lot of comfort / chiding from their peers, good to get a little bit of both after such a stupid stunt but righteous punishment on both the mares. >Was surprised to see Celestia actually go for Heavy Hoof's offer at first, though I suppose being in disguise may be the first time she's even had an opportunity to give such thought to it. Though I still find his 'I know you want it too' to be pretty damn forceful. Made more sense as the story revealed she was going into heat. Not the most welcome bit of news to share. >The heat situation I was not expecting as a story twist, but it provides some interesting / very intimate problems for her to over-come so far from home, it certainly doesn't sound easy. Specially with the playful thoughts she was having regarding Anonymous (keked at the BDSM suggestion) and Heavy Hoof. The accident in the car seat must have really been utterly mortifying for her so it was really heart-warming to see Anon so understanding despite the vulnerability and shame, that was great. >Solutions afterwards were humorous, particularly liked the discussion of whether it was right or wrong for a master and slave, however 'consenting', to proceed with this, as well as Anon's embarrassed reaction when she revealed the issue in doing it with another stallion. I find Celestia to be somewhat out of character here with just how far she's pushing for it but, given the heat affecting her temper and psyche, I think it's believable. As strong willed as she is though, I think she'd be able to see just how uncomfortable the notion of this was for Anon. After all she was trying to set him up with a 'human' mate before this, wasn't she? >I did like the notion of Celestia not seeing a power-difference that Anon saw, though. Knowing what she does that he doesn't, it makes perfect sense: this 'slavery' is a vacation for her and she's still the all-powerful ruler of a country, if anything she's the one who should be concerned about appearing to abuse power. As well as the discussion of just what he thought of pony/human relationships, but while I do secretly hope for more horse-wife antics I don't want to see Anon falling for her rushed either, I think it's good that he's only a little curious at the moment and nothing more. >I'll be honest, I was a bit overwhelmed with the lewd in the following chapters. It was part of what turned me off of Red Sky, but I've been enjoying this fic so much I pressed on with it. Not that there is nothing enjoyable about these parts but I prefer leaning towards the 'cute' side of things. Celestia playfully 'playing' with herself and the following conversation with Heavy Hoof was funny, particularly in him excitedly sharing the joys of condoms but being no-sold all the same. Good on Celestia's part not to get too over-eager even in the middle of heat. >Again a really sweet scene with an understanding Anon the morning after with the disaster zone that became her room. His incredibly surprised reaction afterwards was understandable but, after seeing the distraught state of tears, he continues to prove a helpful and understanding friend in such a humiliating situation (kek'd at her reaction to needing rope and diapers). No wonder Celestia's falling for him so hard, and I'm not even sure it could all be attributed to the heat either. That kiss will have to be reciprocated one day. Kind of a dick move for Heavy Hoof to go spreading the word so fast afterwards as well but it's continued fun seeing Celestia have to react with her continued fantasies. >Poor girl didn't get the big reaction she was hoping for for her kiss when Anon got home, but I think that's for the best. Anon might not just be looking for a 'fling' born from heat-induced passion, him having this level of self-control when a beautiful mare is all but throwing herself at him is commendable, he's made big strides these last few chaps. Celestia will thank him for it later, I think, despite the heart-break now. Maybe after the heat's passed she can work him into being more indulgent. It must certainly be over-powering for now though, once again bringing up the 'power' argument in an attempt to erase Anon's guilt. >Thought the detail on how the anti-magic ring worked was neat, but was really grateful for the return to comfy-town with her and the ice-cream on the bed. I would love to see something blossom between these two more but built off on heart-felt little interactions like this, it's super sweet.
