The Cutie Mark Crusaders have gotten pretty good at helping ponies find and understand their cutie marks. They could even be considered experts on the subject.
A cutie mark that's vanished might prove a bit trickier.
Apple Bloom knows of a few things that could remove a cutie mark, but she'll have to dig deep to find the cause of this strange phenomenon, and help a poor filly get her destiny back.

As fun of a read as it was back in the write-off.
It always feels rewarding to find a story that treats the "Mystery" genre as an actual mystery and not just a blanket categroy for added spooky elements. The mystery here carried itself subtly enough that when the reveal came, I had that nice moment when realisation hit me.
Good job.
EXISTENTIAL PRETEEN CRISIS AAAHHHHHH
also i approve of your cover art typography
This was very interesting. I would love to see a situation like that appear in the actual show.
I might have seen a typo.
Should be

Hiii
missing the word 'my'.
A decent story.
So it was, in effect, caused by the filly's regret over bringing their parents back together?
That's strange. I've seen no part in the story where it was mentioned that Magnet's parents had broken up in the first place. You could have fleshed out that part more and foreshadowed the part where she gets uptight about her parents, since she behaved normally when her parents were mentioned up until the climax in the story.
Also, the Cutie Mark. I'm not going to lie to you, my first impression was that it was a mathematical Cutie Mark.
Edit:
Was this supposed to be a clue? I guess my method of skimming stories made me missed out on this.
Ha... It took her mark along with any mark it left.
Apple Bloom seems to have a knack for awakening spirits around her. First Discord, now this centipede horse spider thing.
This is really good! I like how this was well written and the part with the spirit gave me chills!
This is an interesting thought experiment on cutie marks, at least, tackling the old question of what happens with an unwanted (if only for the moment) talent. Felt a little rushed somehow, but everything was still set up well enough and it's not like there was really any more story to tell.
This little exchange is really great. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are really well-connected, aren't they? It makes the idea that Scootaloo will never be able to fly absolutely ridiculous. Even if her wings never fully develop, they know too many powerful and influential ponies for some magical solution not to be found. If they can just slap a propeller on Tank, they can come up with something that works for Scootaloo.
7739526 Agreed, the resolution seems a little weak after the strong mystery elements and foreshadowing, and I thought the same about what the cutie mark meant. I mean bringing ponies together is a pretty abstract concept that can probably be represented in many ways, but still...
However, the story definitely does deserve that mystery tag for the great lead-up, and the characterization was spot-on. Personally, I loved seeing the CMC as cutie mark consultants in Season 6 and seeing them being taken absolutely seriously by worried parents. This story is a worthy extension of that whole idea. Keep up the good work!
I wish I knew what the parents would have said.
This was a fun little thing, and very interesting to read. Well done.
7740503 Hey! Unless it's specifically stated that a character is responsible for a particular event happening, then they aren't responsible for said event!
Honestly, I'm sick of the Crusaders getting the blame for Discord getting loose. Isn't it just as likely that he was getting loose all on his own, and their squabble was him flexing his magical muscles? That's my interpretation, anyway.

Yes, and that is a much more sensible explanation.
A happy pony for your thoughts
.
Thank you for making this misspeakything. It made me laugh out loud.
A fun story. Short and sweet. That spirit was scary...
Very interesting idea.. not really a lot more to say but just, this was certainly something interesting. Great story!
Interesting good read. Not really any real problems that stuck out to me.
Wow intresing fic
Well written thanks for writing it.
I'd love to see a follow-up on this story. The discussion, perhaps some back story to why the parents broke up in the first place, and other similar things. Great story overall, and I learned a new word (admixture) that's always a bonus in my book.
