Description
After a busy day as a writer, journalist, mother, and right-hand mare to a maverick archeologist, nothing says R&R more than a fireplace, two glasses of pinot noir, and your special somepony snuggling by your side as you watch old movies salvaged from oblivion by the wondrous invention that is the Internet. Sure, old movies aren't exactly your favorite. You'd rather watch something like Colt Sagan's "Cosmos," or better yet, riff on the box office bomb that is the Daring Do movie (which you and your co-author had no involvement in). But hey, anything for the love of your life.
Your hooded leather jacket carries the ever-so-faint aroma of tropical rainforest. Not your fault, though: you washed the Celestia-damned thing hundreds of times, but the smell of your first expeditions refuses to go away. Maybe it's a side effect of a spell you cast on it to help it withstand the elements. At least your special somepony doesn't mind.
Part of you wishes your co-author–slash–best friend were here. She rarely takes any time to relax. When she's not cooped up inside her cottage in the forest or her condo in Canterlot, she's out of the country on a "business trip" to some remote locale, leaving a trail of collapsed ruins and dead thugs in her wake. You're not worried, though. She's a tough bastard. She can take it. It's just...well...she really needs a break.
Some day.... Some day, you'll get her to really unwind.

Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion is an upcoming fanfiction series that aims to breathe new life into a once popular headcanon: that Twilight Velvet—Twilight Sparkle's mother—was directly involved with Daring Do and her adventures. Travel with Daring Do and Twilight Velvet across Equestria and beyond as the discover treasures of old, battle dangerous foes, and unearth the knowledge the world’s past has to offer. Drawing inspiration from real-world archeology, locales, and cultures; auxiliary MLP material like the IDW comics and G.M. Berrow chapter books; and standard action-adventure fare like Uncharted and Indiana Jones, Daring Did combines all of these elements into a witty, yet deep narrative that captures a spirit of exploration and exhilaration.

[Considering the revelation behind the Sapphire Statue in the G.M. Berrow chapter books, you'd wonder why Velvet has it on her fireplace. Maybe it's a ceramic replica or something.]
[The reference used for this scenebuild is the Sparkle family living room seen in the 2015 IDW comic Christmas special . I had to change some of the furniture to make it more suitable for a couple's night, though.]
