The Crystal Palace, 10:53 P.M.
"Ahhh!" Princess Cadence moaned out in pure orgasmic pleasure as she impaled herself, once again, on her husband's throbbing stallionhood.
"Urgt!" Shining Armor grunts, grabbing his wife's thick thighs and thrusting his hips upwards at the same time, driving his cock deep into her pussy for one last climactic plunge.
Deep inside Cadence's soaked tunnel, the head of Shining's cock flares as it presses right up against her cervix. The sensation acts as the final straw, driving them both over the edge at the same time. Long thick streams of cum spurt from the tip of Shining's cock, coating her womb with his white seed. Cadence's whole body shudders, her legs and pussy quivering as she climaxes, barely even able to keep herself upright in her riding position. The pair's loud moans of pleasure are barely contained within the royal bedroom and each threatens to breach the crystal walls.
As Shining Armor fills Cadence's womb with another spurt of his sticky seed, Cadence is no longer able to support herself and falls forwards. She collapses onto her husband's muscular chest, her large breasts flattening against him. Shining's cock remained deep inside of the princess's pussy as it quivers and contracts around his length, milking the last of his load.
After throbbing for a final time, his shaft slowly softens, eventually allowing the cum-smeared head to pop free from her dripping entrance, a large dollop of cum following after it. The two breath heavily as they lay together in bed, bathing in the warm post-orgasm afterglow.
"I love you Shiny..." Cadence mumbles quietly, before wrapping her arms around her husband's chest in a soft yet tight embrace, her head resting just under his chin.
Once able to clear his lust-clouded mind, Shining Armor carefully tilted his head down to share a similar sentiment, only to be greeted by soft and nearly silent sounds of his wife's snores. With a warm smile, he wrapped his own arms around her, returning the comforting embrace she was giving him.
"I love you too Cadence~" He whispers to her, a small smile spreading across her face.
Shining Armor's head fell back onto his pillow, and he stared up at the ceiling of the royal bedroom. How could he have gotten so lucky as to be where he was now? Not only was Shining Armor a very highly respected captain of the Equestrian Royal Guard, but had also managed to catch the eye of one of only three princesses in the entire world, at least until Twilight's ascension anyway. He didn't think he even deserved it, but here he was, relaxing in a luxury bed after plowing one of the most attractive mares in Equestria. All In all, this made tomorrow even more important.
Tomorrow was the anniversary of his long-standing marriage with Cadence, and as always, Shining was feeling worried about it. Despite all the pre-planning he had done for the occasion, he was still feeling nervous about the special 'gift' she was getting.
If you were to ask one of the many citizens of the Crystal Empire, any of the palace guards, or even their closest family members, they would all tell you that Princess Cadence was one of, if not the most innocent and pure ponies that they knew. And they were right in most ways. She was certainly the kindest mare Shining has ever come to know, she absolutely adored kids, especially Flurry Heart, and was the ultimate role model for a princess.
In the bedroom, and behind locked doors, however, she could be a different pony altogether. Underneath her soft and loving exterior burned a horny lust-driven mare who was into some of the dirtiest and outlandish fetishes that there were. In fact, their little romp a few minutes ago had been extremely tame in comparison to their usual activities, with the most extreme thing that they had done being a little bit of dirty talking.
Then again, Cadence was the princess of all things love, so he probably should have seen it coming. He could still remember how surprised he had been when she first revealed this side of herself to him. In the end though, other than some initial hesitation, he found that he actually enjoyed most of the things that she was into. If anything, the clear contradiction to her pure and innocent reputation was one of his biggest turn-ons.
It was not even uncommon for Cadence to go on at length about her deepest and darkest sexual fantasies. They could vary from the lewd and the naughty to the downright depraved and dirty. Over the years, they had, at one point or another, tried out most of them for themselves.
There was one fantasy of hers, however, that Cadence held on a high pedastel. She'd gotten it from a very wet dream following one of their more heated 'sessions'. It was also one of her most detailed fantasies.
In the dream, she would find herself almost completely naked in a very smelly bathroom stall, one equipped with a number of glory holes. For what felt like hours for Cadence she would be eagerly 'servicing' each and every cock that popped through. Most had been dirty and unclean with a musky smell, others had been almost too large for her to fit into her mouth, and then others would simply use her as a living toilet, spraying piss all over her face and body or even right down her throat.
She'd had the wet dream many different times over the years, and while each time was a little different, they all ended the same way. As she would be sucking a particularly girthy cock, a collection of some of the more attractive or well-endowed among the crystal guards would suddenly burst through stall door have their way with her.
For so long, the idea of being gangbanged and degraded in a public bathroom stall had stuck in Cadence's mind, and pretty much every time she had the dream she would constantly rant on and on about how hot it made her feel. Shining couldn't really find a reason to complain though. Her heated storytelling would often lead to them getting pretty kinky the following night.
Unfortunately, making a fantasy like hers come to life was far from easy. There was a multitude of problems and risks with making it happen and the potential consequences of Cadence's secret fantasies becoming public knowledge were far too much for her to take. However, this year, Shining was determined to make sure that this anniversary would be one Cadence would never forget. This year, he had finally done it. It had taken a lot of effort, but he had been able to fully organize the realization of her wet dream.
The royal guards that were going to be taking part had all been sworn to complete secrecy, though, in all honesty, they probably didn't have to be told. Shining chucked to himself as he remembers some of the reactions the stallions when he had given them their 'secret orders'. A few had turned down the offer, but they were in the minority. In the end, he had managed to find 7 different stallion guards, including himself, to help make his wife's dream a reality. It had been surprisingly easy to convince most of them, and a majority of their shock had actually come from finding out what she would be expecting them to do to her, rather than the offer itself.
Plus it wasn't too uncommon for Shining to spot a few of them sneaking quick glances at his wife's ass or chest whenever she wasn't looking. It was something he would really have to iron out of their behavior in the future though. The Crystal Guard was far less disciplined than the ones back in Canterlot. The last time one of Luna's private guard had been caught 'staring' it had been quite the scene. As to why Celestia had then volunteered to take the guard into her own personal branch, Shining Armor didn't know.
As it is, Cadence might as well have handpicked the guards he had recruited. He and Cadence had always had a fairly open relationship and had already toyed around with the idea of assigning a guard or two to the inside of their bedroom whenever 'they got into it', in hopes they might decide to join in. Moreover, Cadence seemed to have the uncanny ability to judge just how big a stallion was just by looking at him. Whenever Cadence saw something she particularly liked, she wouldn't hesitate to tell him about her passive observations. Thankfully, it seemed like the big surprise was still safe and, if anything, many of the guards were now looking forward to tomorrow.
As for just where this was all going to happen, Shining Armor had managed to make a deal with one of the nightclubs established on the outskirts of the empire.
Following the reconstruction of the main railway lines to-and-from Equestria, surprisingly, a branch of nightclubs and strip clubs had been among the first establishments to bridge the gap into the Empire. One, in particular, named: 'The Flared Mare', had recently gotten caught up in some trouble with the law. Shining Armor had been able to work out a deal with the establishment's owners, who as it turned out, had no idea what had been going on there. The deal he gave them would keep them from being completely shut down, so long as they did what he asked. More specifically, the reservation of the entire establishment for tomorrow, In addition to a slight modification to the bathrooms...
Princess Cadence sat in near silence as she rode along in a small wooden carriage, staring out into the busy streets through a window. It felt kinda strange, traveling in a much less...royal manner than she was used to, but that was hardly a bad thing. Ever since becoming a princess, and even more so after marrying Shining Armor, Cadence had gotten used to being driven around in luxury carriages and being escorted by royal guards wherever she went.
It had always bothered Cadence just how much her status as 'Princess' had changed the way ponies treated her. Some would act as if she was some powerful diety that would smite them where they stood should they so much as talk to her without her permission. She had talked to Celestia a few times regarding this and apparently it was something she was all too aware of.
But now, here she was, traveling through town in a simple common carriage like anypony else. It made Cadence feel a bit nostalgic of the days before her accession and gave her a sense of finally being equal with the rest of the citizens living in the empire. As to why she was being taken somewhere in such a manner, Cadence didn't even know.
Evidently, Shining Armor had been preparing a very special surprise anniversary gift for her, and this wooden carriage was her ticket to it. Normally, Cadence would have been overjoyed and very excited to find out what she was going to be getting, but instead, she felt a bit unsure. Apparently, it was very important that she was not taken to the location of her gift by her own royal carriage, and that instead, she was to be taken there in this more common and unsuspicious looking one. In addition, all the carriage's windows had been enchanted, making them appear very dark from the outside.
Something else that was particularly odd was the lack of her normal guard escort. With Shining's over-protective nature, he had made it mandatory that she was to be escorted by a group of crystal guards wherever she went within the empire. Yet, there wasn't even a single one beyond the lone four who were currently pulling the carriage itself. The crystal ponies they were passing by in the busy streets likely didn't even know that she was in here.
"And why are we going through this part of the city?" Cadence mumbles to herself, running a hand through her hair as she peers out from the carriage windows.
They were currently in one of the very few 'bad' parts of the city. Buildings looked run-down and suspicious looking individuals glared at the carriage as it passed. It seemed that even in an empire fueled by the power of love magic, crime eventually found its way into a few dark corners. Shining Armor and the guard had been doing their level best to rid the city of crime, but small areas like this one remained.
'What in Equestria is this surprise gift anyway?' She wondered.
It wasn't much longer when the carriage came to a stop and one of the four guards who had been pulling the carriage came and opened the carriage door for her. Stepping out, Cadence raised an eyebrow as she looked around. They appeared to have arrived at some kind of...night club?
It was a fairly large building, made from more conventional materials rather than the crystal that was so commonly used in the empire. This usually signified that it was not from the empire all, being one of the businesses that had migrated from Equestria.
From what she could see it had no windows, however, there was a large neon sign on the front. It displayed the name: 'The Flared Mare' in a bright pink curly font, along with a rather phallic-looking shape right silhouette behind it. Cadence hadn't even been aware such places even existed in the city, it looked like something taken right from downtown Manehattan. It certainly clashed with the crystal buildings around it.
"A-are you sure this is the right place?" Cadence asks one of the guards, finding it a little hard to believe that this was their destination.
Truth be told, she'd always wanted to visit a place like this, but unfortunately, her status as princess didn't really make it an option.
"Yes princess, this is the place. Shining Armor should be waiting for you inside." The guard responds.
"Well, alright..." Cadence says, sounding unsure as she makes her way to the front door of the building.
As Cadence entered through the blank metal door, she had been expecting to be greeted by the sounds of loud pumping music, and the sounds of club ponies. Instead, she was surprised to hear the sweet melodic sounds of a piano being played.
Entering the main room of the club, instead of Instead of being filled with flashing lights, stumbling drunks, and dancing ponies, the room was very dimly lit with soft yellow candles scattered decoratively around. In the very center, on what appeared to have once been a dance floor, Shining armor was sitting at a small table, fancy looking silverware and two full glasses of her favorite kind of wine are sitting in front of him.
Looking to the source of the beautiful piano music, she sees a stallion in a fancy suit playing the piano in the corner. It takes her a moment before Cadence suddenly realized that he was one of their royal guards. She didn't even know he could play piano, though to be honest, she had usually been a bit more focused on other parts of him...
Looking back to Shining Armor she sees him gesture her over. Cadence walks to the table and sits down in the opposite chair to his. The small yellow candles scattered around the room gave everything an oddly comforting and surprisingly romantic vibe.
"Well, I can't say this is what I was expecting, but I suppose this is pretty nice," Cadence says, picking up her glass and taking a sip of wine. It tasted fantastic.
"Well, I thought it would be nice if we had some dinner, just you and me, instead of always having to share it with the other nobles," Shining explains, taking a quick sip from his own glass.
"Well, the nobles wouldn't dare find themselves in this part of town, so I guess you succeeded there," Cadence admits. "But, why all the secrecy? We probably could have just asked to have dinner alone and I highly doubt the nobles would have objected." She asks, something still not adding up.
"I supposed that is true, but dinner is not the only reason for the secrecy." He explains, Cadence suddenly intrigued. "You know that dream that you keep on having?" Shining asks, an odd tone in his voice.
"What dream are you- Oh! Um, y-yes? What about it?" Cadence asks, suddenly fully aware of what he was referring to. She threw a quick glance towards the stallion playing the piano.
"Well, how would you like to finally make that little dream come true?"
As Cadence enters the club's bathroom, the sounds of pumping club music are muffled as the door swings shut behind her. She felt anxious, turbulent worries storming through her mind. It took the princess a moment before she noticed the rather abnormal layout of the bathroom's stalls. Instead of multiple small toilet stalls or urinals lined up against one wall, the bathroom was largely dominated by one much larger stall at the far end of the room. It was flanked on the left and right by two normal-sized stalls that went up to the ceramic bathroom walls. The large stall's door featured what appeared to be a spray-painted outline of a large crystal heart, a phallic shape painted over it.
Cadence's hands were clenched together tightly, nervousness about what she was about to do echoing in her head. Walking to the center stall, she enters it and quickly locks the stall door behind her. Turning back around, Cadence's eyes were immediately drawn to the large round holes cut into either side of the stall. Both likely leading straight through to the smaller stalls surrounding this one. Something else that caught her attention was the complete lack of an actual toilet or urinal. Instead, in the center of the floor, there was a large drain, though there was not a single shower head or faucet anywhere to be seen.
Slowly at first, Cadence started to strip down, taking off the pink dress she had been wearing and discarding it into one of the back corners. Eventually, she was left wearing nothing but her lacy white pair of panties, now almost completely nude and exposed. The cool bathroom air felt strange on her coat, and her nipples protruded outwards, hardening from the cool air.
It would not be long now before-
*Creeek*
The sound of the bathroom door opening made Cadence freeze. This was it...her first 'customer'.
Footsteps approached the stall to her left and she heard the stall's door open and then close. Cadence was now firmly focused on the round hole cut through to that stall. She didn't have to wait very long as within a few seconds, she heard the sounds of a zipper being unzipped. And then, it appeared.
A long white shaft with large tan-colored spots suddenly slips through the opening, a bit of blueish pubic hair sticking out near the base. The mystery stallion's cock hung down limply from the hole, waiting patiently to be serviced. Cadence didn't do anything at first, her body almost shaking with a mixture of nervousness and...anticipation. Slowly, Cadence made her way over to it, carefully getting down and onto her knees. Her face was now level with the hole and the dick that was hanging out of it.
Reaching out a hand Cadence hesitantly palmed the head of the cock, nearly pulling away as it twitched at her touch. With a nervous gulp, she reaches up with her other hand and grabs the base of the shaft while the other begun caressing the stallion's flare.
'I-im doing it...'
It didn't take very long for the cock to respond, becoming harder and stiffer as she continued stimulating it. Suddenly, Cadence felt something wet in her palm. Looking down, she sees a tiny string of pre-cum stretching from between her hand and the tip of the stallion's cock, giving off a pungent salty smell. She continued stroking up and down the shaft with both hands, smearing the lubricating fluid all over it. Once fully hard, she heard the stallion groan, his cock suddenly throbbing in her grip. It pointed up, aimed directly at her mouth, as if knowing exactly what she planned to do next.
Holding the shaft steady in her hands, Cadence leaned forwards, opening her mouth and delivering a slow flick up the head of the cock with her tongue. She could taste another salty glob of pre-cum and spread it eagerly around the inside of her mouth. Opening her mouth wide, Cadence started takeing the head into her mouth, inch by inch. The stallion let out a pleasured groan as she slowly eased herself down. Her eyes were closed as she concentrated, feeling it slide down into her throat. Pulling a hand away from the stallion shaft, Cadence felt the underside of her bulging throat.
It was at this moment that Cadence fully realized just what she was doing. She was a married mare, a princess even, and yet here she was deepthroating a random stallion's musky cock in a nightclub bathroom. The realization sent a rush of giddy excitement through her body, making her marehood tremble.
Picking up the pace, Cadence pulled back until only the head of the cock remained within her mouth, allowing her to let go of a breath she didn't even realize she had been holding. The shaft gleamed from a combination of her own saliva and its own pre-cum. With renewed eagerness, Cadence dove down again, taking the cock deep into her throat without so much as feeling the urge to gag. She repeats this process over and over, one of her hands drifting down and slipping into her already stained panties. She adds to the stallion's moans with some of her own and her wings extended out from her back, nearly as stiff as the cock she was currently deepthroating.
Suddenly, Cadence felt the shaft start to throb in her throat, and the stallion lets out a loud moan. A gush of a sticky fluid rushed down her throat as the stallion came. Cadence barley even flinched as she swallows repeatedly, making sure to down the stallion's entire load. By the time he has finished, Cadence can feel all of the warm liquid inside her stomach, almost making her feel full. After holding the cock in her mouth for a more few moments to make sure she got every ounce of the stallion's cum, she finally pulls away, allowing the cock to pop free from her mouth. It hung down towards the floor as it softens, the shaft shiny and clean of cum.
While one hand she continued rapidly stroking her pussy, which had completely drenched her panties at this point, she raises her other hand up and wipes off any saliva or pre from her mouth that had managed to escape. She heard a satisfied grunt from the stallion before the cock disappeared back through the dark hole. The door of the left stall opened and she heard the sound of his footsteps moving away and the bathroom door briefly open and close again.
Cadence continued to masturbate, reflecting on what she had just done. Though she was careful not to push herself too far just yet, she couldn't wait for her next eager customer...
It was a few minutes later and Cadence had already begun to grow impatient. Thankfully, just as she was considering finishing herself then and there, she heard the bathroom door swing open once again. This next stallion moved towards the stall opposite of the one she had serviced last. She could hear his heavy footsteps, he was much bigger than the last stallion. The stall door was closed behind him and Cadence waited, moving over to the other glory hole.
Her eyes widened as a massive tan-colored beast forced its way through the hole, barely even able to fit it's girth through. Cadence begun to feel a little bit nervous, she wasn't too sure she would be able to fit this one in her mouth very easily.
Crawling over to it, she briefly inspected the thick shaft. It gave off a pungent salty aroma and wobbled as the stallion shuffled impatiently. Deciding not to make him wait any longer, she grasped the shaft with both hands, stealing her juice soaked fingers away from her pussy. Aided by the lubrication of her own juices on her hand she stroked the shaft, watching as it started to harden, similar to the last one.
But then, as Cadence leaned forward to lick at the head the stallion thrust forwards, pushing his tip against her nose and leaving a smear of pre across it. She blushes and opens her mouth as wide as she can and carefully slid the cock into her mouth. Being careful as to not let her teeth touch it, she very nearly gags as she feels it meet the back of her mouth. It seemed too rigid to even bend down her throat.
Suddenly, just as she was about to adjust herself to make it easier to fit the massive shaft down her throat, she felt it throb. But instead of some more pre-cum, she was shocked as she felt a fairly forceful stream impact the back of her mouth. He was pissing down her throat...
"Mnf!" Cadence moaned, more turned on than disgusted.
The liquid tasted slightly salty and acidic as it quickly started filling her mouth. Cadence tried to gulp it down and keep it from overflowing but was unable to stop some of it from dribbling down from her lips to the floor. She could feel the stallion's hot piss rushing down her throat as he continued peeing, her belly growing slightly as it filled her stomach to the brim. After what seemed like ages, he finally finished emptying his bladder into her, and she was able to pull back, his cock popping free from her mouth.
Cadence breathed heavily as she recovers from the exertion, holding her full stomach with one hand as the other shot down, cramming multiple fingers deep into her pussy. As Cadence looked back up, she expected to see the stallion's shaft still standing at attention, ready for more but was surprised to see that it was now gone. She heard the stallion zip up his pants before exiting the stall and then leaving.
'He had just wanted to use me as his toilet...'
Unable to keep herself restrained any longer she accelerated her strokes and thrusts, cramming all four fingers into her pussy. Her mind was clouded with lustful thoughts: What she was doing, where she was, and the fullness of her belly drove her crazy as she rapidly approached her climax.
However, just as she was about to cum, she heard the sound of commotion and shouting from outside the bathroom. She had been about to just ignore it when the bathroom door was suddenly slammed open.
"Royal Guard! Come out with your hands up!" She heard a familiar stallion shout. It was her husband!
Cadence got up off her knees and tried to be silent, hoping desperately that she would not be discovered. Unfortunately, as she does so, she slips on a small puddle of the previous stallion's piss, forcing her to let out a brief *"Eep!"*.
She hears the footsteps of a bunch of guards enter the bathroom and approach her stall. They fiddled for a moment with the door, but it was still locked. Before she could react, something slammed into the stall door and broke it off its hinges. The stall door collapsed inwards and Cadence shielded her eyes, not wanting to see the look on her husbands face when he found her, wearing nothing but her soaked panties, her mouth still dripping with another stallion's piss.
"Well, look what we have here." She hears him say.
Cadence looked up to see her husband and 6 different stallions, all different members of the royal guard, standing there completely nude, their cocks rigid and standing at attention. The next few seconds were a blur as she suddenly found herself surrounded on all sides by the stallions. She was on her hands and knees on the ground with her husband laying beneath her. She felt her husband take hold of her chin, tilting it down until they made eye contact.
"You ready to be utterly fucked my lovely slut of a wife?" He asks, caressing her cheek softly.
"Y-yes! Please!" She begs, a sudden surge of pleasure washing over her from the title he gave her.
Suddenly, cadence felt another stallion come up from behind, aligning his cock with her ass. Cadence let out a lustful moan as Shining spreads her pussy lips apart, his broad head plunging deep inside of her. He grunts as he feels her walls squeezing and constrict around his length, attempting to milk him dry. He reaches up and gropes her large hanging breasts, massaging them and sucking on one of her nipples.
As she sinks all the way down onto her husband's cock, she feels the other guard grab her waist from behind, and a heavy weight settle on her back, pushing aside her erect wings. Before she could react he thrusts forwards, making her scream out in pleasure as he penetrates her puffy anus.
Cadence, her senses completely overwhelmed, almost falls forwards but is suddenly caught by her husband's magic. The two stallions rapidly thrust into her, almost in rhythm with one another. Cadence pants and blinks as she is suddenly presented with a cock right front of her face.
Without even thinking about it, she opens wide, allowing the third guard to immediately shove his entire length down her throat, all the way to the hilt. Two more stallions take positions to her right and left. One grabs her left leg while the other takes her right arm and they both begin fucking her armpit and knee-pit respectively, clearly desperate for release.
Cadence's entire body felt wet and sweaty as she is fucked in just about every way possible, barely able to make a single coherent thought amongst the seemingly infinite waves of pleasure.
Even as Shinings magic disappears, his efforts become more focused, she remains suspended, being held up by the stallion's cocks alone. The guards who are fucking her armpit and knee-pit seem to suddenly pick up the pace, their moans growing louder. She is barely able to feel it is they push up together one last time, spraying cum all over her body, with many strands even getting on her wings.
Cadence feels a tremor as she cums again after already having come at least 3 times. Though at this point, she was having trouble keeping track of anything. She groaned as she feels the one behind her finish in her ass, filling her bowels with copious amounts of his sticky cum. Shortly after, Shining Armor's own thrusting grows more rapid as squeezes her breasts with both hands.
"C-cadence!" He grunts out, hilting himself inside her pussy.
His cock remains deep inside her for a long few moments, filling her womb to its maximum and beyond, a surge of cum flooding out from around his cock. Shuddering as she cums again, her eyes roll up as and she is just barely able to focus on the stallion still forcefully stuffing his cock down her esophagus.
"Ahhh~" She hears the stallion behind her sigh, accompanied swiftly by the feeling of piss flooding into her ass.
There is another grunt as the stallion facefucking her finally finishes, pouring even more cum down her throat, her already full belly expanding more. As the stallion peeing in her ass finally finishes he pulls out, a flood of various juices following it and splattering onto the floor. At the same time, a spluttering fart rips from her loose anus, sending speckles of fluid everywhere. The stallion using her front end also pulls out, having finished filling her stomach with his seed.
He is pushed aside by the guard who had been using her ass and he moves in front of her, his cock somehow still hard. Already knowing what he wanted she opens her mouth again and shoves his entire dirty length into her mouth. She gags as she tastes a combination of different substances coating his shaft.
Over the course of a few minutes, she is fucked repeatedly as every time one of them finishes, another stallion moves to take their place. By the time they are all too tired to continue, Cadence is laying on the ground face up, leaking from almost every orifice, her belly bloated with piss and cum.
One by one they start to leave, eventually leaving just Shining Armor and the barely conscious body of his wife. With a smirk, he kneels down next to her, a satisfied smirk on his face.
"Did you have a good time dear?" He asks.
"Best...so...much." She mumbles foggily in between heavy tired breaths.
"Happy anniversary honey." He says, smiling as she directs his stallionhood towards her open mouth. "Ahh~" He sighs as he releases his bladder which he had been holding the entire time. Once he is finished spraying her one last time, he leans down, picks her up, and carries her out of the bathroom.
Author's Note
My biggest request/commission (at least for one chapter) yet! Was one heck of a thing to write but It was a nice learning experience. A lot of stuff I'd never written about before.
