Sapphic Figments

by Botched Lobotomy
Famous lesbian Rarity meets even more famous Lesbian Sappho.

A recently discovered batch of 42 lyric fragments by the ancient poet Sappho seem to revolve around her attraction to a pony called Rarity. Scholars are puzzled what to make of this seeming descent into madness.

Botched Lobotomy here presents an arrangement of these "figments of imagination", suggestive perhaps of a narrative quite different from the popular interpretation.

An reflection/homage/companion to the remaining fragments of Sappho's poetry through the medium of fanfiction. Specifically, this translation. Familiarity with Sappho is recommended (because she's great), but not necessary.

An entry to Bicyclette's Twilight Files contest for epistolary fiction. Check out the other stories here!
