I saw the video and read this story. My eyes watered for both. Very nice interpretation of the video in text form.
Well done!

Thanks dude/ette, much appreciated. I have no idea what tags to add myself lol, or which groups to add it to if any

This pointed out nuances that I suspect I missed from the video. Most importantly the implication that the other Unicorns thought she had murdered him.

For some reason the last lines (the ones back outside the storybook) were among the ones that hit hard. Probably because they revealed that this was one of the thousand hammer blows (for this story does hit like a hammer) that, together with the warmth of familial love as the forge-flame, shaped the soul of one of Equestria's greatest heroes. A keen weapon against Evil of both the dramatic (e.g. Tirek) and the creeping banal sort which can be as insidious as "I don't need no help to harvest these apples!".

That quote is amazing and I commented on that user's page about it. Let me attempt to respond in kind with an old but IMHO, Absolutely True one:
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command." John 15:12-14 (NIV). The middle verse, is, of course, the most famous.

Oh wow I didn't expect to a see a comment on this story of all things :twilightsmile: :heart: Glad you enjoyed it. To this day it's one of my favourites, favourite songs and music videos too. it's funny you say that too because originally it wasn't a storybook, I added that part just to tip it over to more than 1k words :twilightsheepish:
