"RoMS I love you even though you OTP Rarijack!" Monochromatic~
Rarity often visits the Friendship Castle, hoping to see Twilight despite the many responsibilities pulling them apart. Time may stretch relationships but Rarity keeps the flame ablaze her own way—a very special book she's distractedly left behind.

9786498 Thank you for the kind comment, the fav', and the watch! It means a lot to me.
The story wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of the proofreaders and many more.
I think you cleaned this up beautifully. It may be simple, but I think it feels true and elegant without being pretentious. Nice work!
9786575
Thank you for your help! Wouldn't have been possible without all the proofreaders
That was beautifully done, RoMS. Thank you for sharing.
9786617
Thank you, Nova!
Nice. :)
"“Black currant?”
Rarity smiled. “Yes, so hard to find these days."
I do wonder what that implies about the state of the rest of the world, though.
9786820
Thanks!
Since most of the readership is likely from the US, I tapped into the fact that black currant is illegal there. The actual flavour must be rare in the country.
9786828
Eh? It is? ...Why?
And thanks for the explanation!
(That said, the "these days" does still have some implications about how things have changed, too.)

I may be wrong but, in my memory, the fruit was banned in the 1900s because it propagated diseases to the US agriculture industry. Thanks for the feedback.
9786866
Huh. Thanks!
(And you're welcome. :))
Very beautiful, RoM! I teared up at the end.
9787153
Thank you very much for the kind comment and the fav, Olden!
9787165
You're very welcome!
This fic, I like it.
When I heard you were writing a RariTwi I assumed it was a romance, and I don't read fanfiction for romance. This was better. This was good.
9787256
Thank you!
I believe this turned out very well, thanks for letting me help proofread it.
9787308
It's me who thanks you!
I caught the subtle implications of the book early on, but even still it made my heart heave. This was packed with emotions, well done.
9787994
Thank you!

It kind of is, at the end there.
Not quite sure heteronormativity would be a tradition in a world with a roughly 2/1 female/male ratio that nonetheless practices mostly-monogamous pair-bonding, but eh, it's not my story.
9788077 Thanks for commenting!
My starting point with regards to them not being allowed together wasn't gender actually, but royal traditions. Royalty doesn't "marry down." And Rarity, despite her demeanor, isn't royalty or a Canterlot aristocrat.
9788083
Ooooh. That makes far more sense, it just wasn't clear from the story.
Hmmm... if I may over-analyze a bit. Restrictions on royal marriage only make sense from a dynastic standpoint if the royalty is both hereditary and not immortal. Of course, it could easily be a holdover from the Princess Platinum days that Celestia, apparently not caring much for romance, never bothered to address. Such traditions do tend to persist quite awhile absent reason to change them. I mean, restrictions persisted in the UK well past when the monarch had much real power. Even today marriages of the first 6 in line are subject to Parliamentary approval, or else they lose their spot.
9788273
I wasn't thinking that deep into the topic, it wasn't my goal to go into the politics of royalty.
Thanks for the feedback.
9788339
Hence why it's an over-analysis. :P
Nah. If I were there I'd have told Twilight to tear away those restrictions with Royal Decree, devil may care.
Besides, if anypony complains...
They won't be around for much, won't they?
The curses of immortality.
This was a sweet and interesting story. Rarity integrating fabric and scents into her book is a great concept, and you did a good job describing them. I admit it was a bit odd that apparently all of Twilight's friends, including Spike, have passed on except Rarity, with no explanation that I could see.
9925296
Thanks for the read!
They've actually not passed away in this short. Rarity is just preparing a memory book for Twilight, for when all her close circle has gone to the other side. It's my bad if it wasn't made clearer.
9925546
Oh, I assumed from Twilight's reaction to the book and Spike's chair being dusty that they were all long gone.
9925622
No worries. The dusty chair was meant to show that Spike had outgrown it (grown dragons are *big*), and that he went on doing his own things. He can't stay an assistant his whole life.
Look, I KNOW not everyone agrees with this, but I maintain that, if not everyone can be immortal, than no one should be. Good read. Interesting take on things from Rarity’s side and good use of her fashion inclinations.

Thank you for the kind comments. On the topic of immortality, I don't think we choose our lot. Neither do Twilight or Rarity ^^.
9940410
How come?
I don't particularly enjoy immortality either, but I fail to see your point.
9966468
Subtly implying you're immortal, lol

Hush, child. Gotta keep some secrets.
