4 | ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/67042/the-traveling-tutor-and-the-librarian The Traveling Tutor and the Librarian]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' comedy/shipping fanfic where the return of Green Grass, the school district's traveling unicorn magic teacher places him in a SustainedMisunderstanding with Twilight Sparkle, who had been teaching the students since her arrival in town. Only the power of friendship (and a certain amount of tinkering from the townsponies) can save the day for them and their students before complete disaster strikes, but maybe there is a little more than friendship in store for the two young teachers. |

6 | Considerable innuendo and romantic interference from their friends, family, and (ahem) royal teachers only add to the confusion. |

10 | !!This fanfic contains examples of: |
11 | |
12 | * AccidentalProposal: One simple word spoken wrong by Princess Celestia's Herald leads to ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt headlines. |
13 | * ActionGirlfriend: Twilight is the Element of Magic and multi-time heroine of Equestria. As such, a recurring source of insecurity for Green Grass is why precisely she should fall for him, since he's ultimately a fairly middling traveling teacher with no particular accomplishments to his name. |
14 | %%* AlmostKiss: Happens twice, and of course the second time it is CaughtOnTape. |
15 | * AnnoyingLaugh: Green Grass's arranged fiance, Bee Tress, has a truly astounding braying laugh that draws pained winces at its mere mention and can be heard from most of a town away when she really gets going. |
16 | -->''Bee tended to start her Laugh with a deep breath, which triggered an instinctual wince in anypony who had been exposed to her for more than a few minutes. Then came the "Hoorach", a raspy, cough-like spasm that seemed to drive a spike of tenor terror from the ears straight down the spine to the tail. Starting fairly high in her substantial vocal range, around C flat, she would then repeat that horrid sound in a glissendo of descending notes, each one nearly a third of an octave apart until all the air had been expelled from her vast lungs at the stentorian bottom range of a note that rattled windows. Only when the victim's brain began to breathe that tiny sigh of relief at the worst being over would she then inhale with a mighty "Hhhhheeeeeaaaaahhhhhppp" and proceed to repeat the process again. And again.'' |
17 | * ArrangedMarriage: Green Grass is facing his fate reluctantly, even willing to try a FakeOutMakeOut with Twilight that winds up being HoistByHisOwnPetard. |
18 | * BerserkButton: Don't deface a library book around Twilight. Particularly a ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/54358/the-cancellation-of-prince-blueblood reference book]]''. |
19 | * CatapultNightmare: Green Grass has a little {{Fainting}} problem meeting Princess Celestia, and her sister is glad to TagTeam the poor stallion. This results in a bit of a seesaw where he faints away when he wakes to find himself confront by one Princess and wakes in shock when he finds the other in his dream. |
20 | %%* CelibateHero: So why would anypony be afraid of dating a mare with this many powerful friends? |
21 | * DidTheyOrDidntThey: A constant question by Twilight's friends. Mostly answered NO! |
22 | * DreamRealityCheck: Luna visits Green Grass' dreams often enough that he takes to pinching himself to wake himself up when they're done talking. After a particularly informal discussion with her, he performs the usual check and finds out to his chagrin that ThatWasNotADream. |
23 | %%* EroticDream: [[spoiler:Implied that Twilight has had this with Green Grass.]] |
24 | %%* FlirtingAndCourtship: Neither of the two of them plan on this at the start. |
25 | * FootnoteFever: Footnotes are used liberally to add context to discussions and story incidents and to sneak in extra jokes. |
26 | * InnocentInnuendo: A consistent running gag involves characters, usually Twilight or Green Grass, discussing something perfectly innocuous in such a manner that everyone else thinks that they're talking about sex. |
27 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Green Grass decides he's not good enough for Twilight. Her friends disagree. |
28 | %%* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While still claiming SheIsNotMyGirlfriend. |
29 | * JewishMother: Twilight Velvet, who manages to be both a EducationMama as well as a VideoGame/CookingMama at the ''same time''. |
30 | * NiceGuy: At heart, Green Grass is one of these. He's just in over his head, mostly in the fountain. |
31 | %%* MaybeEverAfter: The ending. |
32 | * RaceForYourLove: ''Inverted,'' in that Princess Celestia "suggests" that Green Grass participate in the Running of the Leaves. |
33 | * RunningGag: Green Grass is constantly mistaken for a unicorn, due to his job of teaching little unicorns their first magic, and his tendency to wear a hat. |
34 | * TheReveal: Most ponies are shocked when they discover the unicorn magic teacher is, in fact, not a unicorn at all, most often when Green Grass takes his hat off. |
35 | -->''Twilight stared at the tutor in shock and blurted out, "Y-you... where is your horn!"'' |
36 | * SafeWord: Promised by Green Grass, in the form of a required Permission Letter from her parents or Princess Celestia. |
37 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: (or Stallion) With all the manipulative ponies Twilight has met, she is not quite certain what to do with one who seems honest for a change. |
38 | %%* SustainedMisunderstanding: A constant battle throughout the entire story. |
39 | * TheTalk: Inverted, in that Twilight's mother not only has given her the talk, but a test and a study guide. |
40 | %%* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: Most of the students in school did this to her |
41 | %%* TrainStationGoodbye: [[spoiler:The last scene in the story]] |
