Pastebin entry: Buttercup - Pastebin.com
And here it is, the first new piece of fiction that was written for the FC site. (Chapter 5 of Avocaod and Chapter 8 of Sam Adams was being worked on when the booru died)
Carpdime did the story of Buttercup before, but never quite explained how his redhead owner found him. I decided to write my own interpretation as to how those events came to be.
Some notes:
-
I initially was going to title this Buttercup & Avocadom, since this is technically about Avocado’s first meeting with Buttercup. I might attempt that if I ever do a seperate Buttercup story
-
I was tempted to write a longer story detailing all the terrible things that happened to Buttercup while in the wild. Aside from being hurt by rocks and other dangerous objects, I imagined that Buttercup may have encountered other ferals before, and had seen the various death and misadventures that Carpdime has depicted feral foals encountered. However, as I was writing about Buttercup’s first meeting with Avocado, I ended up tailoring this fic to focus on that event. I might do such a prequel though, provided I have the time for it.
The next part of Avocado, Chapter 6, will be the most important. It will tackle what I consider to be Avocado’s most important challenge as a foal.
EDIT: I decided to do a short Christmas chapter first before doing Chapter 6, as Chapter 6 is canonically supposed to take place in the “new year”.
