Don't have any of the crossed off threads (sorry), but I have no issues with you using Ironfire for your stories, or any of the threads I created (I don't think I made any of them, but figured I'd say it anyway)

He looked between the two, giving them a nod as he was told their names. Once she finished, he spoke up, "I can make armour to any specifications you'd like, so yes, I can make custom armour," he answered, "I can either talk with you, discuss needs and various details like that to help design it, or, if this is to match another, then the design specifications of that combined with measurements will be more than enough to build a matching piece,"

"Just a minute," a voice called out as Ironfire set aside his current work, making sure it could be left unattended and not cause any damage, before making an appearance at the store front, "welcome to my forge, name's Ironfire. How can I help you two today?"

*UPDATE*
And that's issue #5 of FIENDship is Magic. We got Chrysalis this time, covers a couple of stories regarding the changelings as well as their origins.

To the best of my knowledge, that's also the final issue of the FIENDship is Magic mini series. Was fun while it lasted though.

"Glad to be of help," Ironfire smiled, "and I look forward to seeing you again soon," he waved as Foxtrot departed, before gathering his new work orders and taking them back into his workshop and setting them apart, based on what needed to be done and when, as well as overall complexity. Once more he took out the strange designs for the odd, unique weapon. He wasn't even sure where to start on such a thing, but he pinned it to a noticeboard and took a hold of Foxtrot's katana. May as well start with the straight forward stuff.

Nightmare Moon features in the latest FIENDship is Magic. Just one more issue of this series to go.
Fixed the link for Friend Forever #15 so you can actually go read it now.

"Nothing really formal outside of my mother and father, aside from normal school stuff," he shrugged at that, "didn't seem to need much more aside from that. I usually use books and the like to learn things that I haven't encountered before, like the odd blade I have this time," he elaborated, "as for certifications and what have you, it's just a generic store type permit which let's me operate a business here and has me paying tax. Though that was mostly set up by my father and was written over to me when he retired and I took over full time,"

"Very well. I'll see you in a few days then," Ironfire smiled, giving a wave to the departing White Wind as he collected the various work pieces from her and his notes to put to one side in the forge before returning to talk with Foxtrot once more, "today has certainly given me a few things to keep me busy," he chuckled, "since you stuck around, I'm guessing you weren't done asking questions yourself,"

"I've got a couple of other jobs lined up too," he apologised, "but I should be able to finish them in about 5 days time," he offered, "that should give me the time needed to look into this one too," he explained, again, indicating the parchment and designs.

"Those three," he indicated the worn and damaged weapons, "the sharpening and rebinding will run about 150 to 200 bits. The broken sword is looking more towards the 4 to 500 range, depending on how easy or difficult to core decides to be on replacing it,"

With those, he looked over the parchment and once more took ahold of his notebook to make further notes, "for this... I don't know," he admitted, "there's too many things I'm unsure of about it's construction to even begin to estimate the price, and most of that is centred on it's twin element ability," he explained, "without knowing the exact means of it's workings, it'll be hard to judge work and material costs," he continued, "but, as I said, I had a few metals in mind for that type of temperature resistance, so to give you an idea," he gave another pause, this time jotting down numbers for the required volumes of metal and then flicking through several pages to look up prices on obscure metals that weren't all that often used, "hmm... probably 872 bits range. Though that's just the materials," he look apologetically at her, "give me a couple of days to conduct some research and I'll be able to come to a more accurate figure to account for labour and whatever the elemental control is," he smiled, hoping he had provided satisfactory information, though he himself was annoyed that he hadn't come across a weapon or device like this before.

"If it's to be decorative, then I'll fix it up so you can't tell it was broken at all," he assured her as they moved onto the next piece. Ironfire let out a low whistle at the thing, looking over the parchment offered to him, "fire and ice is an interesting combination, that if what you said is true. The lack of magical enchantments is certainly different," he paused, inspecting the designs, "would have to be something strong and resistant to extreme temperature changes, else the constant shift would've made the weapon unbelievably brittle causing it to break very easily," he considered the options available, "since I assume you'd like me to remake this, I'll have to do research. It's shape will be easy, and I'm aware of a few metals and alloys that could withstand the type of wear and tear this would go through. Producing the fire and ice with no enchantment will take a little research," he pointed at the drawings, "especially if that is what appears to be a blue flame as the ice aspect. Only heard rumours about that myself, so this will be an interesting piece to work on," he couldn't quite keep the excitement out of his voice as he spoke. Unusual items and magics like this were some of the highlights of his work, especially compared to what a lot of ponies would call the mundane, everyday stuff he usually works on.

As was usual for him, Ironfire nodded along, listening to the request and jotting notes for future reference. When the broken blade was shown, he made a pause before scribbling a few brief notes, dropping the charcoal stick, and taking a better look at the broken weapon.

"This is some serious damage," he commented, inspecting the break and the wear of the blade, trying to judge the materials and just what would be needed to fix this, "the easier option here would be to reforge the second half of the blade. It would involve replacing the core in the remaining half, probably to something stronger this time around, and then forging the remaining half as I would with a normal sword," he explained, still looking over the designs and decoration, "if if must be these two parts, then I can do my best. Again, core replacing, but with the second half not directly forged as a part of it, it's strength wouldn't be as strong as it could be," he offered, " suppose it would depend on your own preference and the planned purpose for the sword," he finished off, looking expectantly for an answer.

"Sorry, yes, I'm Ironfire," he smiled, accepting her hoof in a shake, "and I do like to dabble in a bit of everything when it comes to smithing. Certainly seems to give me an edge over a lot of others," he nodded, confirming her information, "it's nothing that can't wait, I assure you. Just getting to know one another, he's already placed his order, will take a couple of days yet," he said by way of an explanation.

"So, you mentioned 'exotic commission', that anything to do with you're little bundle here?" he asked, motioning at the wrapping on his counter.
