Ponies say that if you wait at a crossroads with darkness in your heart, you can trade your soul away for power.

Trixie thinks this sounds like a good deal. Surely her soul is worth much more than the average one. Certainly enough to afford revenge against that life-ruining Twilight Sparkle.

But maybe exchange rates for souls are not as favorable as she expected.

Rather nice.

Nice work. Fit well into continuity and everything, and came across as natural. Given that Equestria has its fair share of darkness, another sinister source works just fine, and it wasn't something that went against the general MLP ambiance. I like it.

Trixie would make a great succubus : /

Yep, sounds right. Why would anyone want Trixie's soul? It's practically vendor trash.

Hmmm I like this, good story. A bit short but I like it. Keep up the good work. :twilightsmile:

*Grins*

Very nicely done. I really like Trixie's attitude, you capture it really well and I can easily picture her responses. The demon was a bit more difficult to picture and see in my mind's eye. I dunno if that was deliberate though.

Either way, very solid.:twilightsmile:

I pictured the demon as looking like Twilight, (same hairstyle, anyway), but with a darker purple coat, a darker-colored mane, a grin filled with sharp teeth, and possibly slitted pupils in the eyes.

I have written a review of this story. It can be found here.

6054818 I think Trixie would make a terrible succubus, actually. She is less "seductive" and more "you're lucky I even bothered to talk to you". She's too abrasive to be attractive.

6054901 She's the Tiny Mushroom to Twilight's Nugget? :rainbowlaugh:

6055347 I described it a little. I figured its behavior was more important characterization than its appearance, however.

But she has such a great flank : /

Wow, I can usually spot endings coming, but that one---with bril continuity---caught me off-guard. You get a fave for that!

Oooh, nice hook to canon at the end there. I like the presentation of the whole thing, and the fact that you could have made it pretty dark, but actually made the whole thing kinda funny instead.

Souls are a rough market, dude. They've got more standards than you'd think, given who runs the business. :derpytongue2:

6057574 I'd say less than a mushroom, but yes.

Cool. So that's how it happened.

I half expected Crowley to show up.

That was pretty funny, and a nice concept too. Good work.

Loved your story!

Pre-Starlight, I found Trixie to be a remarkably lazy plot device so I never jumped on the "lets hate on Trixie"-bandwagon.

That said, this story leans too heavily making fun of Trixie to really stand on its own.

I wouldn't be able to resist her.

Wouldn't want to.
