Ponyville: a pretty little town in the shadow of Canterlot. But it's in the shadows where evil lurks. Beneath the crispy crust of Ponyville's happy little facade lies a hotbed of criminal activity and ne'er-do-wells, telling lies, snatching purses, and not filling your milkshake all the way to the top when they know darn well that you paid full price. Luckily for the hapless townsponies, however, Ponyville has a hero. A lone warrior, defending their freedoms. A shining star of liberty and justice. Ponyville has...
The Silver Spooner.

Do I detect a little bit of the Blue Raja influence?

May the forks be with us.
And here I thought I was the only one who knew about Mystery Men.
Cue theme song!
Oh my GAAAAAAAWWWWD
You actually did it. Someone actually did it.
*checks off things wished for, "Silver Spoon Surfer", checked off on list *
Bravo. I haven't even read this but bravo. Will comment once I get back from current duties to read this!
Best thing I read all day.
This is so cute and so funny! I love it!
This was silly, but adorable!
Diamond not being able to help herself when it came to making fun of oddities, but still caring enough about her friend to stop was a nice touch, too.
I'll be able to post a real review someday when the diabetic shock from the sugary adorableness wears off... which may be never. This is the kind of story you can't even critique, you just have to enjoy it, which I did immensely. Bravo.

Eeyup, I went there. As soon as the idea hit my head (which was yesterday), I knew I had to do it. Hope you enjoy it.

*Takes a bow*
Thank you all. I do enjoy writing some madness now and then, and this was pretty fun to write. I'm very happy to see that I managed to entertain you.
This wouldn't happen to have been inspired by that one episode of Dexter's Lab, would it? The title, I mean.
3794273
I never really watched much of Dexter's Lab, so no. No inspiration from it.
For the record, I've read this story 4 times already. I'd slap this into Twilight's library lickity-split!
This is one of those stories you can just pick up again if you ever wanted an excuse to smile like an idiot. It's soo well characterized it hurts. I really love this Silver Spoon. And oh my goodness, the way DT was hitting up the spa store for shampoo. Wonderful.
And of course. You can't leave a comment without a Minty Fresh comment about that humongous spoon and her spoonvestments. I can't even mention any of the DT moments because, spoilers, but yeah I d'awwd.
I could of sworn I left a comment about the story somewhere, I guess I forgot. But yes, I love this story! It has re-read value.
3797575
Wow, thanks a lot. I was wondering what you thought of this one, since you seemed a tad excited about the idea. I'm very glad to see that you like it so much. Comments like this keep me writing. I honestly had a blast writing this, and I'm starting to think I might write Diamond and Silver stories more often.
Alas, Twilight's Library's incoming folders are closed right now, so I'll have to submit this later.
3799627 It was a pretty busy day. Most tend to be. I did manage to read it that day, but I'm horrible at leaving comments on things I read. Happens when you're constantly doing behind the scenes mod stuff and one is responsible for supplying and cooking their own meals and keeping the house clean. :P
But, lame rl stuff aside, I had thought I commented before I crashed ever so elegantly on my bed...

And no Apple Bloom, I don't know how such a huge puddle of drool on the floor could of come from one filly either.
But yeah, you had me at Silver Spoon playing make believe with her spoons. The adorable way it all followed her little crime fighter mind as she shot down the laundry shoot. Everything was just magical.
And again, that way Silver went from powerful to being brought back to 'reality' was so gut wrenchingly cute... I loved her reaction to being LIGHTLY slapped. Again, I can't really talk about much as this is all just spoilers, but honestly it doesn't matter too much because once someone starts reading they are just gonna be so enraptured with Silver Spoon. I still love that opening so much, it was just a solid opener. If this were a fighting game, you'd a taken my full health bar with that startup, combo all the way down with that comment about her butt, to the popup with the suit to setting me back in a reset position to continue the infinite only to end it with a Ultra Finisher brought on by DT's and SS' final moments.
This story wrecked my world in how well it flowed, how characters played out, and how everypony got their just desserts in the end. It didn't give us what we wanted. It gave us what we needed. And that's why this is certainly on my top favorite recommended fics. If it wasn't for the fact this doesn't sadly meet the word count minimum for EQD, I'd say submit this asap.
In fact, buck their word count, submit it anyways and at least make the poor soul who has to pre-read another re-imagined Trixie goes to ponyville for redemption and Sombra x Angel Bunny fic something to remind them why they bother to pre-read in the first place!
Happy to hear you are enjoying these characters so much, you do have quite the knack for these cute stories. But of course, I'd advise you never to limit yourself. But do grace us from time to time with whatever muse inspires you to make more DT, SS, CMC, whatever you choose to do. Because what you do is like voodoo, that make me all woohoo~ reading what you do. <insert Zecora smiley>

Wow. I just... um.... Wow. This is probably the strongest single reaction I've ever received about my work. I don't even know what to say. I'm blown away, honestly. Thank you so much, really. I can't put into words how much I appreciate it.
I know I'll write about other things, some dark and some light, but I find that this kind of story has always been the easiest for me to write. I know I'll do more silly stories in the future, along with more serious work as well. Thank you again.

Thank you kindly. I am honored to contribute.
LOL I love how Silver plays with Spoons instead of actual My Little Human Dolls or something
Oh like Clark Kent she just wears the glasses to look more vulnerable and normal
LOL that was altogether brilliant! I love the fact that in her own weird way, Silver DID foil the crime by stalling DT and her Henchman long enough for the cops to get there. An I love how DT fell on her instincts to redicule but halted herself when she realized she was hurting her friend. And the spoon throwing was hilarious. I could see Silver Spooner as the Blue Raja from "Mystery Men"
I can see SS and DT having a Catwoman, and Batman or Sly Cooper and Carmelita Fox type romance!

Thanks, dude. This is one of those stories where everything just came together, from the spoon obsession to the interaction between the two fillies. And I guess more people know about Mystery Men than I thought, which is awesome. I was hoping you'd enjoy it, since I know you're such a fan of Silver, and I'm pleased to hear that you did.
This is 1000000% Diamond Cutters Approved!

4340165 It's magic Diamond.. she aint gotta explain sh(
)!
It's such a shame that this is only a one-shot.
I'd love to see you do more of this.

Well, there's nothing definite yet, but this universe may well expand and get a few sequels. I'd like to see this turn into a series, if I can manage.
Already mentioned, but: Mystery Men references.
Snips: AAH! Who are you?!
Snails: Yeah, where's Awesomo3000, eh?!
Well, Two-Filly Tumbleweed is my new favorite hypothetical band name.
5722337
I'm still quite partial to "Turkeys in the Rain"
I feel like I know her supername from somewhere...

This was ridiculously cute, with just the right balance between silliness and d'awww. So many good turns of phrase as well. My favorite was probably the three possibilities she considered as to why the fight had been lost, but there were so many other great ones as well.
Thanks very much for sharing this with us!
