I need to make up for some lost time, have a speed round of some Tangle/Whisper/Jewel headcanons.

(Mostly Jewel, because she's me and I'm going to project on her way too hard.)

Before we begin, allow me to propose a team name for these three: Team Sapphire. Get it? Because Sapphire is almost Sapphic, and it's a gem, so Jewel... I think I'm funny.

Tangle and Whisper are lesbians (and girlfriends) and Jewel is their disaster bi third wheel. I don't think that NEEDS to be said, but just in case it does... There it is. 😂

There isn't exactly a specific leader, they all will take charge depending on the situation.

If we were to apply the Sonic Heroes/Team Sonic Racing categories to them, I'm going to go a little out of the box and say Whisper's Speed, Jewel is Flight, and Tangle is Power. Whisper and Tangle both make sense for Speed AND Power, but Tangle makes more sense in the close combat situations that Power is specifically built for.

Plus, in a TSR standpoint, Tangle would slam her car full force into stuff, let's be realistic. Whisper would drive quickly and avoid obstacles, Tangle would try to mow everything and everyone down. So, she's Power. 😂 (Oops, I'm projecting onto Tangle too.)

I'm pretty certain this is canon (or at least heavily implied in IDW to the point I'm assuming it's canon 😂), but Tangle and Jewel have known each other FOREVER. Like, they've been best friends for as long as either one can remember.

Whisper was able to seamlessly slide into the group like she'd always been there. Tangle obviously welcomed her with high enthusiasm, and Jewel had no issues with Whisper joining their status quo.

Jewel knew immediately that Tangle had a massive crush on Whisper from day one, and teased her relentlessly for it. Not in a mean way, of course, but in a "hurry up and get together with her already!" way. Tangle has vowed she'll get Jewel back when she gets a crush on someone. (*cough* No, we won't see this happen in my Jerk fic I'm working on I have no clue what you're talking about... 👀)

Whisper's Wisps gave Whisper a lot of grief for her feelings for Tangle, but she was in denial for a long time.

Whisper took longer than Tangle to sort out her feelings. She was in massive denial about crushing on Tangle until she lost Tangle to the Metal Virus. 😭

They got together in-between the Metal Virus being thrown into the sun and the celebratory party at the Mineral Museum.

(I'm pretending the Mimic thing is resolved so the lesbians can be happy shhhh let me have this. 😂)

Normally the trio's dynamic is Tangle has a disastrous idea, and Jewel and Whisper have to stop her/bail her out, but this goes mostly out the window when they party.

Tangle and Jewel are partiers, 100%. Jewel's a lot more toned down than Tangle (you know all those videos of people body slamming onto beer pong tables or climbing up onto grocery store shelves and jumping into those big ball holder things? THAT'S Tangle. 😂), but she's easily talked into doing shots and going on adventures by the lemur. Whisper doesn't drink, but she sticks with them to keep an eye on them and intervene if things go too far.

Jewel's getting my addiction to tea (her favorite is a hot chai tea latte) and my inability to drink anything heavily caffeinated (it will put her to sleep), because I can.

Jewel also likes to spike her teas with cream liqueurs. Not all the time, maybe like 25% of the time she has a hot tea it's been doctored. 😂

Tangle practically lives in athletic clothes/athleisure, but on the rare occasion she dresses up she much prefers menswear to dresses. She knows she rocks a suit/a tux, and has to be FORCED to wear a dress.

Whisper does dress up on occasion. She prefers long dresses, so she can hide her scout gear under it, just in case. (Remember the whole 'carrying a sword in the back of your dress' trend a while back? That would be Whisper if she did swords instead of guns. 😂) She refuses to wear heels or dress shoes though, it's her combat boots or she's not going (another reason she does long dresses, the boots are easier to hide)

Jewel likes vintage style (30s-40s mostly, but she'll dabble in the 50s). She also wears corsets (CORRECTLY, she wears a chemise or a tank top underneath it BECAUSE YOU DON'T WEAR CORSETS AGAINST BARE SKIN YOU HEATHENS) because she likes the posture support they give. She's got a couple really attractive special occasion dresses floating around her closet she's too intimidated by to ever wear. (We totally won't see one of them in the Jerk fic either... And it's totally not a real dress in my actual closet... 👀)

Whisper's Wisps are usually with her 24/7, but on the rare occasion they're not (usually when her and Tangle go on dates) Jewel looks after them.

The end?- Prom Pt3

Featuring Aurora from @ask-acepony

In their excitement, the pair of Aurora and Platinum had forgotten to hail a taxi, rather, they simply walked the whole way to his store. It was a peaceful walk through the empty night streets of Canterlot. Nary a thing could bother the two as they bounced ideas off of eachother on what materials would work best for the harness for the wings as well as the types of gems that would be used in the enchanting. All was not well however, as one fact that Platinum had pointed out threw a bit of a monkey wrench into their plans.

The issue was practicality vs fashion appeal. While many gems overlap in possible abilities, not all of them will actually be able to suit their needs, and some of those that can’t would actually look good alongside the current feathers used in the pair of wings. Granted, not all the wings that they could make will have this kind of issue, they had to deal with this now because the wings that Aurora has on her is the only ones that they have to work with. All in all, they had a lot to think about.

Soon, Aurora caught sight of the window display at the front of Tales of Solcia and was pleasantly surprised to see a tasteful display of various jeweled accessories on the mannequins in there. Rather than the mishmash of gems and metals that Platinum wore on his person, these matched, moreover, the gems color and shape complimented the complicated designs etched into the bands. She had considered asking if she could purchase one or two, but decided against it. She probably didn’t have enough money to purchase a set on her anyway.

As the stallion proceeded to unlock the front door, she asked, “Hey Platinum, why is this place named Tales of Solcia?”

The smaller unicorn sighed, eyes closing as she seemed to have struck another nerve, though this time he was a bit more willing to talk about it, “Solcia… Solcia was my home. You see. The Equestria I live in wasn’t the one I was born in.”

Oh boy… Sad backstory incoming. She honestly should have seen this coming after the way he reacted during their date. He held the the door open for her as he continued. Thankfully, he was pretty brief, for both of their sakes, “Where I was from, enchantments were a way of leveling the playing field for the many races of the land and like anypony that is good at anything, there is bound to be fighting over who was the best. Fighting broke out and terrible spells were cast. Those that survived the conflict were forced to become refugees.”

Locking the door behind them, he finished, “I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say, all that you see will see in this store is the last remnants of my home world. I’ve spent years trying to get it all in one place..”

She walked up to the display at the front desk, musing to herself about the various accessories that lay within. Just what sort of thing could drive ponies to destroy their own world like that? Money? Power? Fame? It disgusted her. There was one thing that bother her, something she had to make known.

“Do you sell them, the magical ones?”

Platinum shook his head in the negative, dismissing most of her fears, “While I’ve come to terms with a lot of the things that happened back home, there is one thing that will always worry me. What if the fighting were to happen again? That’s why I’ve locked away most of the combat related rings I have found.”

Okay, so he’s been smart enough to keep the dangerous stuff hidden from the public eye and has only sold non magical items to ponies. That’s fine, but… Taking a step towards him, she asked another probing question, “Okay, so what about us? Surely if you are planning on enchanting my wings, you are also planning on selling them.”

This question brought a smile to his face, finding humor in the absurdity of it, “Well, there is a pretty big difference between combat magic and practical magic you know. Moving a set of wings around is nothing compared to blasting holes in walls.”

Aurora chuckled nervously, feeling a little embarrassed now that he even needed to say that. What he said next however made her blush hotly, “Speaking of wings. If we’re going to doing this, i’m going to need to ask you to strip.”

“What?!”

He had to act fast so he wouldn’t wind up with a hoof shaped mark on the side of his face. Taking a step back, he stammered, “H-hold on. It’s not what you think. If anything goes wrong with the enchantments, we don’t want to have anything on ourselves we aren’t willing to lose. Clothes, jewelry, even our keys, they all have to be left behind so the only thing that can be affected is what we are working on.”

She begrudgingly complied. He was the expert in this specific situation, she she’d have to take his word for it. But that didn’t make her any more comfortable doing this in front of a stallion, “Fine… Just look away, okay?”

He gave her a curt nod before turning away from her and starting to undress himself. He had a lot less to deal with, merely a set of buttons and long sleeves, so getting his outfit off was a minor thing. Aurora however had to take a bit more time, being extra careful not to damage her ensemble as they’d be sure to need it for the dance later. She wasn’t wearing her usual wing harness, so that only added to the length of time it took for her to remove all her clothes.

Once finished, she asked him where she could place her normal belongings and he pulled out a mannequin from the back just for her to use. Once she was able to get it fitted, Platinum lead her with wings and harness in tow into the backroom by his office. He levitated one of the keys off the keyrack and opened up a cellar door leading under the store. Wooden and linoleum floors gave way to smoothly cut stone as he helped her down the ladder.

As they two arrived, torches lining the walls lit up revealing a lone wooden door. The atmosphere down here was surprisingly pleasant as a calming magical sensation washed over her. The stallion stated that the enchanting process is a delicate one, requiring a stable environment for both the materials and the ponies that handled them. He unlocked the wooden door, revealing another chamber that no doubt was larger than the building itself, most likely jutting out into the street.

Inside the chamber was an enchanting table in the center as well as a lexicon that housed the numerous spells that could be applied to objects. Along one wall was a glass case that held numerous bands and horn rings of all shapes, sizes, metals, and gems. It was something that Platinum had only glanced at briefly as they passed by it, instead opting to stop at the opposite wall which likewise had another glass case full of differing gems. By the looks of things, he had quite a collection going on, and she was sure it would only get bigger as time went on.

Sighing, he stated, “Alright, here comes the fun part. Probably the only fun part. Pick a gem, any gem… This will be the focal point for all the action. Seeing as the first enchantment will be made specifically for you, you have to chose.”

That was quite a choice to put on her and with such a large amount of gem sto chose from, it was hard to pick just one. Showing a look of concern, she turned to him and asked, “Any suggestions?”

“Just go with your gut. Whatever strikes your fancy.”

As she pondered her choice, his words continued to echo in her mind, “They say you can tell a lot about a pony by what they chose for their first enchantment. My mother even once compared it to like getting a cutiemark.”

Oh? That statement gave her pause, ears perking up in interest. Smiling slyly, she asked, “Oh? What did your mother chose then?”

He answered quickly, her question bringing fond memories of his mother to his mind as he levitated a crystal over to them, “Black tourmaline. Bronze was the metal and it was a horn ring. The spell was a shield spell, meant to protect those she cared about.”

“And you?”

“Red Fire Quartz. Silver. Ring of fire. Bonuses to fire protection and enhances fire based abilities… I have made others better than it, but it was the one that earned me my mark.”

She snickered, ‘I guess the comparison was both literal and figurative…’

Turning all the way around to face him, she hoped to get an honest answer out of him while he was busy reflecting on the past, “And what would you say would be mine, based on what you know of me so far?”

To her own surprise, he actually answered, giving her a knowing glance as he mused, “You seem to me like you’d be a diamond type of mare.”

A little corny but if he had a good enough explanation, she’d love to hear it. And he did have one, one that made her heart pound in her chest like a drum as he took step after step closer to her, “It starts off as a lump of coal, the black swan of stones. So full of potential, just waiting to be unlocked. Years of intense heat and pressure pounds upon it, breaking it, reforming it, purifying it into the beautiful rock it is today. It’s not perfect, but nothing really is. As an expert in geology, it is still a stunning sight to behold..”

He was right in her face now, close enough for them to feel each other’s breaths on their faces. Their muzzles turned a vibrant red as the two of them looked away from each other. Aurora was the first to speak, “Were you… Um… Flirting, with me?”

His voice matched the bewildered expression on his muzzle, “I don’t know. Was I?”

The mare shuffled her hooves a little, looking at the ground as if unsure how to handle this situation, “Well… If you were… It might have been working.”

He chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck, “I see… I’m sorry if that made you uncomfortable. It’s unprofessional.”

She shook her head, waving a hoof dismissively, “Nonono… It’s fine, really. It just caught me a little off guard. It hit a little bit too close to home is all.”

Judging by her expression and posture, it must have been difficult to admit this in such an awkward situation, “You see… I’m trans, colt to mare in fact.”

And that was it, the truth came out and she awaited his response. While ponies in Equestria were a bit more accepting to this sort of thing, it was still something that drew up quite a buzz whenever it was brought up. And seeing that she’s pretty famous, it’d be even bigger of a controversy.

She was once again caught off guard when the smaller Unicorn drew her into a hug, squeezing her gently, “Aurora… Do you really think it’d matter if you used to be a guy? Who you used to be is not who you are now.”

Drawing back, he continued his encouraging statements, “When I look at you, I see a strong, confident, and talented pony. Somepony to be admired, regardless of their gender. If you’re heart is in the right place, I’d like you even if you were a colt.”

Touched by the stallions kind words, she leaned forward and kissed him, an act that left him completely bewildered. Stunned, he stood there in silence as she smiled widely at him in gratitude, “Thank you Platinum… I think I will go with a diamond.”

Eventually, he did manage to snap out his daze and help her locate a suitable diamond for the wings. The rest of the needed gems would come after the necessary spells would be selected. As simple as they were, a couple of remote manipulation spells and a variation of telepathy that would link them to the wearer’s mind, this was more complicated than most of the other accessories that he had crafted.

There was also the issue of having little data on actual pegasi anatomy so the process isn’t as fluid or as natural as either of them hoped, but with a little practice and repeated attempts, Platinum was able to get them to work.

By the end of it, the stallion looked worn out. Even with all the abundant magic around him, all of the repeated attempts at getting the wings just right took its toll on him. However, seeing Aurora get to try it on and give the wings a few test flaps, albeit sluggish ones, made it all worth it to him. Sighing, Platinum was finally able to rest his aching head on the table and just watch her as she tried getting the hang of things.

“It feels… Weird.”

He chuckled sluggishly, noting how she nearly slapped herself with a wing, “Well, I don’t expect you to be able to get this within a few minutes. Give it time, you’ll get the hang of it, i’m sure.”

She nodded, taking a step closer to Platinum and taking a seat at the table beside him, “Thanks again for staying up and working on this… I appreciate it. Really, I do.”

“Don’t worry about it. What are partners for? Enchanting is what i’m best at anyway… Once we get more data on all this, i’m sure it won’t take as long.”

Pulling himself off the table, he stretched with a yawn. He wasn’t sure what time it was, but he was certain it was well into the night. Odds are, it’s too late to go back to the prom tonight, so they’ll have to debut her new wings the next. Oh well, at least it’d give the both of them ample time to catch up on some much needed sleep and get Aurora used to her new faux wings. Celestia knows she’d need the practice time.

Shaking the sleep from his eyes just a little longer, he asked, “Hey… You got a place to sleep tonight?”

She nodded, likewise needing to shake herself just to get moving again after getting comfortable, “Yeah, I do… But it’s a little far.”

“Hmmm… Follow me.”

Platinum lead her back out of the enchanting chamber and up a flight of stairs leading up to the bedrooms. Opening one of the doors he motioned for her to step inside. It was a simple room with only a few furnishings like a bed, a wardrobe, and a mirror, but it would do for now, “You can stay here for the night. Just be sure not to leave the place a mess in the morning. It’s Bastion’s week to be the maid and he hates cleaning up messes.”

She smiled, “Thank you Platinum, but don’t you think this is a bit much?”

The stallion rolled his eyes, “What? That’s nonsense. I’m saving you the trouble of walking home in the dark when you can barely keep standing.”

He continued through a yawn, “I’m doing you a favor.”

Platinum motion motioning down the hall as he cracked the door, “The washroom is down the hall on the left, help yourself to as much hot water as you need and my room is the one closest to the stairs if you need anything.”

And with that, there wasn’t much more she could say. He was already more than hospitable to her so far, so to cause any more trouble now would be uncalled for. Rather than say anything more on the matter, she simply laid out on the bed and blew him a kiss, “Get a good night’s rest. You’ll need it.”

That night and the next few to come was probably the best Platinum had ever had. He now has a new business partner, a new venture into the world of enchanting, and said enchantments were something that could actually be sold to the public without worry of ponies fighting over them with as much.

As for Aurora, the exhibition of her new faux wings had done quite well. Her first stunning unfurling of her wings drew enough of a crowd to stroke her own ego for the time being. By the time the compliments and flirtatious comments had died down, she was more than ready to resign herself to nights of dancing and fine dining with her date.

When it was time for the two of them to go their separate ways, they had agreed to meet up every once in a while to chat and maybe go out to eat. As for their business, they also agreed to only sell the enchanted wings every once in awhile due to the time and energy it takes to make them.
