Glad Trixie found her. I really really hope Sunset turns her back on the Rainbitches, even if she doesn't hate them how can she ever trust them. Also hope Granny Smith spends a long time regretting her treatment of Sunset.
Trixie to the damned rescue, good fucking timing!
Anywho great chapters, this story is already up there in my fav Anon-A-Miss.
one day, they'll regret everything, and on that day....

I won't reveal anything big, but Sunset definitely won't be forgiving them
8943785
Good. she doesn't have to hate them, but she doesn't have to trust or accept them back what so ever.
Besides she can get newer more trusting and better friends in the end.
Whyyyyyy???? Do they always decide to hide stuff like this from their parents?
Also, was the feeling the Mane 5 had, was it them losing their connection to the elements of harmony? Or just a temporary foreboding?
Finally, the appearance of Luna could have been removed I think... I just don't know how this can happen without Luna telling Princess Twilight like 5 minutes after, you know? Now, if she were just a hallucination and not really Luna, that would be different, but if Twilight doesn't barge in on Sunset and Trixie within 2 hours, or Celestia, or somepony, then what's the point of bringing in the Night Princess?
WHOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU TRIXIE!!!!!
I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT YOU!!!
Thank God Trixie decided to stal- I mean find where Sunset lives & to save her from a horrible fate.
I have admit the romantic thing is a little heavy handed from Trixie’s side of things, but maybe that’s kinda the point. It wouldn’t be out of character for her to go full tsundere on the topic if it came up.
I do hope that Sunset’s issues aren’t fixed in a snap, like I’ve seen in other similar fics, but the way things have been paced so far tells me that probably won’t be an issue. Bitty seems to understand the gravity of the characters’ situation, and I think (s)he can provide a satisfying resolution to this setup.
Looking forward to more, but I wonder what Luna will tell the other princesses.
Most Anon-A-Miss fanfic tend to paint Trixie as one of Sunset's tormenters, so it's nice to see her trying to help Sunset for once.

Something tells me Forgotten Friendship had something to do with it

I headcanon that the Mane 5 and Sunset’s magic was linked during the Battle of the Bands when they all ponied up together, and gives them this sort of subconscious link that alerts them when another is in danger.
Luna’s appearance was mostly there to really affirm that Sunset is not happy. Her attempt wasn’t a fluke or a rash decision, it was concrete. Don’t worry, Luna will be explained soon ;)

Yeah, Trixie has a bit of a crush on Sunset; she just gets really flustered because she doesn’t want to admit it. She’s known for being over dramatic, so I made that bleed into her love life as well. She’s the kind of person who freaks the fuck out at the slightest bit of attraction to someone
I definitely intend to take Sunset’s problems very seriously; years of depression certainly can’t be cured in a few moments!
As for Luna’s appearance, all will be revealed in due time
8944248
My guess is that that comes from the source material itself. In the comic, Trixie stands alone as the one person who is a jerk to Sunset's face without the excuse of believing Sunset is Anon-a-Miss.* That said, she does it after Sunset accuses her of being Anon-a-Miss, so it can be seen as simple turnabout rather than enjoying seeing Sunset suffer.
Trixie's (brief) portrayal in the comic is also a good example of how the comic didn't care about characters being in character. She's enjoying the animosity in the school and would thank Anon-a-Miss if she could because . . . bwah?
Neither pony-Trixie nor human-Trixie is ever shown to enjoy widespread hatred in any of the animated canon. Even under negativity inducing mind-altering magic (Alicorn Amulet for the pony, Sirens for the human) they don't seem to have any particular desire to stir up conflict, but the comic manages to, in such a short space, make her out to be worse than the Dazzlings. (They at least have the excuse that negativity is their food source, comic-Trixie seems to want it for its own sake.)
Now that I write that, I'm kind of surprised that we haven't seen more fics responding to how Trixie was mis-portrayed.
-
* Ish. A basic understanding of human nature implies that a lot of the students bullying Sunset in the halls don't believe it either, but none of them are given the opportunity to show that they believe Sunset to be innocent and are bullying Sunset anyway. Trixie gets the opportunity and uses it.
no words fro this...
holy shit is TRIXIE A GOOD CHARACTER IN THIS ANONA MISS!???
SHE IS??!
U GOT YOURSELF A NEW FOLLOW AND WATCH...

I know right, its a fresh sight seeing someone that's usually a monster, more human.
Just like in my story.
#shamelessplug
A darker take on anon-a-miss eh? Read quite a few of those but I'm willing to give this a shot.
One thing though, during the Luna sequence there was lots of Luna and Sunset speech in the same paragraph. Always start a new paragraph when a new person is speaking. It was quite confusing reading that bit.
Otherwise it's looking interesting! Looking forward to seeing how Trixie helps.
When is the next update I’m not rushing you just curious I love the story by the way
Okay, well first thought was that Sunset probably would have survived without Trixie. Then I realized that Sunset would have bleed to death while unconscious because her rope knocked her out. I found it amusing in a way how Sunset was just petulant Sunset was with Trixie after Trixie saves her from the brink of death.

Next update will be tonight! I'm shifting to a weekly schedule now, so updates will hopefully be every Monday Glad you're liking the story!
Technically you didn’t have to have the extra coincidence of the rope breaking. Unless you fall from a big height or weigh quite a bit the neck doesn’t break, and so the person can literally hang there struggling to breath for quite some time. I would imagine Sunset can’t weigh much given how poor her diet is.

Neck snapping is only one of the ways of dying from a hanging. It wasn't uncommon depending on how it's done for the hanging to function as strangulation instead which is a slower and more painful way to go (this is exactly what mob hangings in the wild west where). And sometimes the neck wouldn't snap with the first method and the person would technically go through the pain of both methods. The setup Sunset was trying to use would've strangled her slowly.
Edit: A few minutes would cause permanent brain damage so the rope snap makes her survival more believable.

And decapitation don't forget that one even though highly unlikely if not out right impossible in this case
I love you Trixie for saving Sunset
8943785
Ah. Good to know. In that case, this story won't be for me. Nothing against you or your story, I just can't stand Anon-A-Miss fics that demonise Sunset's friends. Unfortunately, most of them seem to do that. It's difficult to find one with a balanced approach.
I’ve been reading a lot of Anon-a-miss fics lately to the point that three quarters of my Sunset libary is filled with ‘em. Also, I’m glad that Sunset’s back... even if she’s tired of all the shit she’s been going through before that point.
Good to see you Luna, I'm glad you trying to help another lost soul.
Sunset even at her worst is one tough girl
This story is quite satisfying.
Not as satisfying as an M1 Grande ping, but still up there
And the Trickster saves Sol's Old Student from The Never-ending Sleep.
Always sad to see something like this happen to Sunset, just happy that Trixie was there to help her. A great story so far so have a 👍
As someone who's been there before (pills, not a hanging), I'd probably have socked someone (most likely Trixie) in the throat, in her position.
(I was strapped to a hospital bed when I woke up. After an 11 day coma. I wasn't swinging on anybody in that condition, sadly. Still wanna tho. Every. Day.)
