Subtle reviews #7: Bluebird's Song, Watermelons, and Felt Heart · 2:20pm Jun 13th, 2013
Whoa, I'm still here. I read another bunch of stories again, here are my top picks.
A Bluebird's Song by Ardensfax
Every rising star must eventually fall. Rainbow Dash is locked in a struggle against her own past, and with the help of Twilight is about to make a discovery that will change the way she flies forever. But what will she lose in the process?
Another one that has been sitting on my to-read list ever since I joined here, and simply one of the most amazing stories I've read to date. It's long, yes, and it's all so worth it. It took me quite a while to get through, but that was mostly because during the first half, I kept getting distracted and reading other fics. About the halfway point though, it began pulling me in real quickly, to the point where I absolutely hated the day my ereader was empty suddenly, because it meant I couldn't read to know what happened next that day. I made up for it by reading twice as much the next day.
You know a story is good, when you get that feeling of "Don't do it!!" and then just before it happens, a new chapter on something entirely else starts.
And then, less than a week after I finished it, the author makes this blog post in which it is mentioned that A Bluebird's Song is going to get some chapter expansions here and there in the beginning, as well as an edit sweep. I can only applaud this, though it is perfectly readable as it is now. Incredibly recommended.
Rainbow Dash Seduces a Watermelon by Weezil_Brony
Rainbow Dash basically falls in love with a watermelon, that's about it. But it is incredibly funny if you care to read.
This story was recommended to me in the comments on one of my own (NSFW!) stories, and I think it needs no explanation. It's the kind of WTF I like.
Felt Heart by Tchernobog
Rarity discovers an old tradition involving the exchange of felt dolls as a sign of affection. This sparks a brilliant plan to play matchmaker with her friends, and between herself and Twilight. But brilliant plans never go as expected, do they?
Good fic. Interesting concept, well executed, and definitely worth a read. And yes, I realize this is the third fic of Tchernobog that has appeared here. I REGRET NOTHING.
Also imgur stop obliterating the image quality pls
