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.

9	----
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]]
