The Long And Short Of It

A Guardsmare of half height and double spirit finds love twice as tall and thrice as strong: a Reverse Gender Roles Equestria story of epic proportions and minuscule stature.

A collaboration with SQA-non, adapted from Greentext

Sergeant Nocturnal Pike has it all. Power, prestige, and the eye of any stallion she could want. Yet she feels like something is missing—besides a stature to match her achievements. Something that's been nagging her since she was a little filly. She knows such feelings are ridiculous; she's the embodiment of mareliness! The pinnacle of batpony kind! Apex of what all mares should be! What could she possibly still want? Well, a big, janefilly coltfriend is a good start.

Join Sergeant Nocturnal Pike, Anonymous, and Anonymous' friend from work as they embark on a journey filled with romance, self-discovery, soul-sucking work environments, and enough sexism to make a 1930s chauvinist blush.

Welcome to Reversed Gender Roles Equestria's very own: The Long and Short of It

This is a story intentionally seeped in RGRE traditions. So if you're wondering why something is the way it is, that's probably why. Also its the first thing I've ever written, haha, sorry in advance for some weird pacing and plot beats. -SQA
