Defining Love (Patreon)

i had a lot of notes on this but it's late and i got work tomorrow, so affsrwefg

Basically Midnight Abyss, being a greyromantic asexual, becomes curious over the elusive concept called "love". What is romantic love? What does it feel like? How does it differ from platonic and familial love? Why does it make ponies so dopey? Apparently love is incredibly powerful.......so Midnight sets out to unlock the mysteries of love, synthesize it, and harness its wicked power for herself. 

However she does need a romantic partner, for research purposes. She picks her co-worker, PB Sandwich. PB is made 100% aware of Midnight's intentions and agrees anyway, because what's so wrong with wanting to understand love?

what happens is a wild ride whereupon PB goes from witless guinea pig to pretty much Midnight's favorite person (save for Bertram of course), and the development of a relationship that straddles the line between platonic and romantic (the label ‘queerplatonic’ may apply, though I’m honestly not sure), full of feelings Midnight still doesn't know how to define, but that's okay, because if her research (and PB smoochies) has taught her anything, it's that there is no single correct way to love someone.
