Just a note: as I've said in both reviews, I wasn't really planning on engaging much with ponyfic these days, but I gave the stories this round a read on a whim and had a great time with them both and thought someone ought to say something about them? I'm not sure I'll vote though because, like I said on Orchard, I feel a lot less qualified on ponyfic these days, and honestly they're both very compelling pieces doing very different things and I don't really want to choose between them.
