If one of the humans was Pinkie, who was the other one?

Never before would I have thought I'd say I found a story shipping Twi and Timber Spruce adorable. Not even cute. I'm not a fan of the guy in Equestria Girls, for a multitude of reasons. However, I've got nothing against the pony counterpart here. That should be your first congratulations, author—you made me care about a character I'm, at best, unimpressed by.

The depiction of Timber and Twi's innocent, young love was well-done. Not too embellished, nor something that Twi looks upon with embarrassment. A nice balance, especially considering that love still remains. It really does feel like something that could happen organically. I was a bit taken aback at first when Twilight revealed that Timber got married again, being a super monogamous person myself, but I think you explained their relationship, along with the intentions of the spell, enough for me to accept that their love still is real in spite of everything that came after.

The worldbuilding and lore surrounding the spell was a great plot device and added quite a bit to this story. I was especially intrigued at Starlight not only knowing about it, but wanting Twilight to cast the spell for her and some mare—it implies a lot about her past, perhaps the one in Our Town. Unicorns having a unique idea of love and relationships is something I don't think I've seen in a story before, but it really fit well here.

I know that you, author, have left this site (or at least this account) years ago, but if you ever happen to check back, I hope you enjoy this comment as much as I enjoyed the story!
