Silver Spoon has always been fascinated with Diamond Tiara, and everypony knows it. They all see the longing sidelong glances, they all see the unflinching loyalty. They even see, and whisper about, the way Silver Spoon licks her lips when Diamond Tiara leaves the classroom.
Well, those rumors have finally made it to the ears of the blossoming socialite, and she's determined to confront her best friend about these hidden feelings. Oh, if she only knew...
Trigger warnings: stabbing, implied stalking, implied cannibalism
I'd like to take this moment to thank DeviantArt user Koviry for inspiring this story with their truly terrifying and beautiful artwork. Also, shout-out to Tzryylon5 for inspiring the inclusion of Silver Spoon's mother.

I will say only one thing in my defense:
This is not my best work. If this is your first time seeing my stuff, I'd like to ask that you please not judge me based on this dumb story.
Kinda was hoping for a more extended, and slightly more Hannibal level of interaction between the two. Hose or not, at this rate it won't be hard for ponies to piece together how could have killed her.
Shame it didn't build more on the psychology of Silver savoring Diamond in that special way more. Makes me wonder who the other victims were and how Ponyville hasn't gone crazy looking for them.
Still, it was a nice creepy end there with Silver Spoon. Just shame it didn't explore their awkward relationship more.
6406672 I'll be honest, Tela, this was pretty much written seat-of-the-pants in a few hours after seeing a cool picture. I didn't think much about any of it. Frankly, I'm surprised it's got anything other than negative feedback. Thank you very much for adding this to a group that I thought would avoid this story for fear of it promoting Tiarabuse.
And now you've got me seriously thinking about revising, expanding and improving this thing that five minutes ago I was ready to give up on and pretend never happened.
Now, I know you're referring to Hannibal Lecter, but what specifically do you mean by it?
Also, glad the ending was creepy enough for your tastes.
6406736 Understandable. Hell, most of what I've written wouldn't total up to two hours worth of writing. Pictures hold countless stories, interpretations vary from person to person. It's nice that you found something that was able to inspire you enough to write and share a story. Far as Tiarabuse goes, it takes many forms. But this story was far from feeling abusive. Not one that really reeks of malice at least.
As for the Hannibal stuff: This was, though short, a more natural attempt at horror then I've seen in quite a while. The parts that could have been shown were told, through Sunny and Peachy, where as it could have easily gone in a bait and switch style romance that is later revealed to not be what it appeared to be. That the obsession was something more... impure. The way you had Retainer speak it felt as if Tiara was no stranger, yet never met Silver's parents before. The mother was fearful, she thought Tiara to be the wild imaginings of her daughter. Some pretend friend, makes me think Spoon would regularly speak of Tiara in ways that made the mother seem like she saw a ghost, almost hoping Tiara wasn't real. Also, the thought of maybe Silver's father not being around anymore could be fun. Possibly her first victim.
So much could be expanded on, but I know all too well the weight of how expanding on something can take and honestly it isn't always easy to find the time or the heart to see it through. Heaven knows I've many a story ranging quite a few genres inspired by random musings and other things. Many of which I'll never write due to various first-world problems. If you do, that's fine. But don't feel pressured.
Stories with Diamond's death isn't bad in and of itself. It's more about how the characters are depicted, how things play out. Hell, Wanderer D even wrote a Tiarabuse fic that was almost perfect, save for that convenient ending where a certain pegasus and grey filly get their happy endings then ending it with a proper tragedy where the grey filly gets nothing in the end, but hey that's neither here nor there. The point was he actually put real effort into making it feel like a proper story and not just a blatant abuse fic. Though how Silver Spoon could fall for someone who implied raped Tiara at the orphanage I'll never know. But I'm rambling, still, so pay no mind.
6406888 Hmmmm....
Good news is, you got some wheels turning.
Still far more likely to sink time into other projects, but you've convinced me there's room to grow here.
Creepy.
6407903 Thank you!
Nice ending, implying such things. I got goosebumps, but in a good way. WELL DONE, KING MORIARTY!

7163304 THANK YOU, DRAGON AND DRACONEQUUS!

7261497 Your time would be better spent on my other stuff.
7261517 But this was still so cute.
7261523 Still.
Meh.
Not bad.
Not good.
Good effort though.
7396820 I'd say it was unequivocal crap.
Oh, this was beautiful. I loved it, every bit.
So did Silver Spoon eat Diamond Tiara?
7830147 I honestly don't remember.
I can't see why Silver would want to kill Diamond in this Fic rather then tying her up and cuddling her.
What an unsettling little short. I like it.
This story is still great to read, even after my third or forth time! I did a reading of it on my Youtube channel, if you'd like to check it out I'll leave a link to it under this.

I suck at doing voices for little girls
So, from what I understood, SS was more jealous of DT rather than in love with her.This was about possesive "love".Or at least I think, because there isn't much that imply...something.Everypony thought she was madly in love with DT, yet SS wanted to eat her.But...why?
The only part of this story that I don't vibe with is the state of Silver Spoon's bedroom and not knowing what a bed is.
It just doesn't really make sense. SS has been to DT's house, presumably. SS should know what one of those is.
