Read Starlight Over Detrot with me.

The story is about.

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

Act One, Chapter 7: Guesses, Gripes and Grease

Chapter 7: Published September 8th 2012 was on a Saturday and was in week 36 of 2012.

As of this writing it was 3,127 days ago

My FiM would premier Season Nine April 6th 2019. 


After several awkward and sometimes regrettable knocks on various doors, I finally found a stallion who was unoccupied enough to direct me back towards the Vivarium’s main room. 

LOL, after what we saw last chapter I can only imagine.

“Sir, is that... I mean, I’ve heard there were ponies who liked... but I never knew anypony who... you know... with a biped...”

Okay, Swifts innocents.  SHE'S FROM HERE and she hasn't, just... priceless

My mother fought in the Cutie Mark Crusades, and when the dragons sued for peace she got off her war-scooter

blink

got off her war-scooter

.... um. 

“Whatever you might achieve with technology, that’s a debt you’ll never repay. Now, from Luna’s fifteenth return party, this is the song that rung in the night. My mother was friends with the singer and can report first hand there was not a dry eye in the audience.”

Well... um. Its not naming names, and I've pre generated these because of who they are in later chapters... so ... Yeah... if you know your FiM, you know who is being talked about here. 

Oh hey, look, we are getting a hint that maybe we will find out what happened to Taxi's cutie-marks. (We will, and you will prob be sorry you ask, but that is later)

But I love this. You can feel the loving friendship between them. They have been together as best friends since they were YOUNG. There is a flashback to give you an idea of how young. I personally think that they are a pretty good balance for each other. 

And day one ends in the story, and you know what. I cant blame hardy for wanting to be drunk. 

Though it does make me curious. How did Swift wind down her evening. 

Oh hey look, the chapter ended. Lets have a peek at the comments, 30

Huh, I wonder if Gypsy is a changeling?

You may already know the answer (no spoilers please!), seeing you are nearly 3 weeks ahead of me at time of comment, but my money is on Telly being Gypsy, what with her Mel Blanc routine earlier at the station.

Hey it's a two way street buddy. You write your story because of our comments, while we comment because of the amazing story you write.

On another side note, Halloween is coming up soon. Is there going to be a Halloween special? Oh man I would love it if Taxi and Swift dragged Hardy to go trick-or-treating. I wonder what costumes they would wear?

You know, that's a GREAT idea. I think I may do a quick, one off non-cannon short about a Nightmare Night Party at The Castle. I'll think about it and get back to you.

Celestia's quantum testicles. That... is not light praise.
What more can I say but "Thank you?"

Heck, to all of you, come to think of it. My collected gratitude could not be more pronounced if Fluttershy herself had kicked a tiger's ass to cover mine.
