Ha, this art is all so adorable and fabulous! I can't wait to read the stories. :D

[keire_ke]

Thank you! Make sure you do, Winterhill did an awesome job!

[histoirede]

I love those. They're precious.

[keire_ke]

I'm surprising even myself with how much I love those ponies. <3 Thanks!

[professor_mirror]

So this was one of the matchups I was super looking forward to, and I was not disappointed! Your art is amazing and adorable and the perfect blend of XMFC and MLP. Thank you so much for doing this art prompt which led to not one but two fantastic stories.

(Man though, I had to jump through so many hoops just to be able to leave this comment since I don't have a DW account.)

[keire_ke]

I was dying with happiness when Winterhill snatched the prompt - she's pretty much the perfect person to write the pony!AU. :)

(Sorry about that - it's also up on my LJ, but I figured since DW is the more stable site lately, it's safer here)

[keire_ke]

^_____^ Thank you!

[afrocurl]

I LOVE THIS ALL!!!!!

[keire_ke]

<3 You can't not love ponies. You simply can't.

[clarasteam]

adorable art for two adorable stories! *loves*

[keire_ke]

Thank you!

[quietbang]

These are absolutely adorable. I love the ponies, and the bags under the eyes of human Charles are the cutest. *squished pictures*

[keire_ke]

The ponies turned out awesome, if I say so myself. And poor human Charles, he really should get more sleep. :<

Thank you!

[rohnoc.livejournal.com]

You did an amazing job with this! They look like screencaps.
I don't know the first thing about MLP, but omg ponies. Sad adorable squishable ponies. :D

[keire_ke]

Thank you so much! The ponies do that to you, they take over your brain and make you want to hug things. Silly ponies. XD

[nekosmuse]

Oh dear god these are just fantastic! Like, fantastic. I can't even tell you how excited I am to read this fic. The art just makes me giddy with glee. My little ponies! And they idea behind the actors and gay ponies and sjghgkjgjk!!! I love this beyond words. God, look at them! I love everything about this. Glee I tell you, glee.

(seriously, though, these are both gorgeous and adorable and I have no idea how you managed it--kudos).

[keire_ke]

I know! I was hoping for something short and cracky, but Winterhill had ideas right off the bat and then the ponies got a life of their own and suddenly there were two massive stories, and gah, the sheer happiness in them both just bowls me over.

Thank you so much!

[pallorsomnium]

I've actually been looking SO forward to seeing this, and omg the art is absolutely *adorable* and I love all of it!! <3

[keire_ke]

Thank you very much! I had much fun playing with the ponies. :D

[moonbeamdancer]

Oh. My. God. I think I may need to read this story for the art alone. Or just maybe the fact that it's got ponies in it...

[keire_ke]

Go for the ponies, seriously. Ponies make everything better! :D

[maichan]

OMG, how absolutely delightful this artwork is :DDD
I love how expressive their pony faces are, and how you can still tell who each of them are in the third panel even with their markings and faces obscured.

[keire_ke]

Hee, thank you! I had so much fun, trying to come up with the pony designs and they turned out absolutely spiffy. :>

[cesare]

Wow, you have the MLP style nailed in these! It's great! I'm definitely going to have to read this story :-)

[keire_ke]

:D Thank you! Do read the stories - they are at the very least as adorable as the art.

[oxymora]

Dying of cuteness!

[keire_ke]

Not gonna lie: that was the idea. :>

[rheasilvia]

OMG, these ponies are the cutest thing ever. And you made them look like Erik and Charles, in an entirely cute pony way! That is sheer genius, and - and that h/c cuddling pic. So much aawwwwwww!

I feel like I really want to watch My Little Pony now (when I nevcer have before), but it couldn't possibly match up to the adorableness of your art. :-)

[keire_ke]

I tried! I'm extremely fond of cute pony way and with all the angst running about there need to be some utterly cute AUs. <3

Well, if you have the slightest inclination, do, because the show has the audacity to treat little girls like intelligent people and give them characters they can relate to in a cute pony way, plus plenty of references for adults. :D
