Close Bonds

by Sneaky
A second-person telling of Ivan's day-to-day life in his ragtag relationship with Rainbow. Ragtag, because what they have is far from ideal. But that's what makes it enjoyable, right?

"Moments like these make you feel lucky that you ever ended up here. That things turned out the way they are now. That, somehow, through all the turmoil, you've managed to come out with your head held high and a smile on your face" (Chapter 7).

[A second person perspective of Ivan's time in Equestria]

Close Bonds is now on Youtube! Weird Alicorn has been doing some awesome readings, and apparently has a great singing voice (first chapter XD). Click here if you'd rather listen to the story than read it.

Also: If you're going to dislike this story, please give me at least one good reason why. Otherwise, I'm going to assume that you're just another jackass that saw the 'human' tag and pressed the dislike button.

AU tag recently added because nothing after the season 3 finale applies here.
