Wow. That was depressing. Depressing, yet very well written. Good... work? You've earned my five, guy.
Wow... I may never see Rarity the same way again.
Well, that was kinda sad... Very well written though. you've earned 5 stars and a happy pinkie
Ooookay, depressing much?
I like it, but I'm always expecting that Something good could happen.
I*beg* of you, continue! 1: because the ponies wouldn'r be as inconsiderate as they are in this story, and 2:because I'm waiting for Rarity to live again.
You know, I actually found this almost as touching as My Little Dashie, I just didn't cry (sorry Rarity)
Well, you got a tear out of me. So that means you did something good.
I cried, but I also smiled the whole time.
It was sad, but in a happy way. If that makes any sense. I loved it.
97587 I concur
Way too fast paced for me - I think the loss of her mane would have revealed Rarity more. Skipping her last five months was kind of a large skip, and I would have liked it a lot more if you had taken the time to delve into her acceptance of her own death over time.
Bravo, sir or madam. Very depressing, well written, and over all a great plot.
Aww... So sad...
That was lovely.. I agree, it does need a sequel of some sort.
i dont always read sad storys............but when I do they are well writon and very sad, stay sad my friends
i dont under stand why I love to read sad and depresing fan fics
that was a amazing yet sad story
this one is download worthy
and i thought this was going to be a funny story rarity and pinky going on a epic journey but it was sad and so i shed a manly tear
Inspired by Ikiru?
I never thought of Rarity as a favorite character, but this really made me start thinking. ... And sobbing...
Five stars.
Great story. I know it's completed, but at the very least I'd like to see a sort of spiritual sequel to this.
Also..

I think that severe illness is a rarity in Equestria, not found oft. It'd make sense to me that there would be little in the way of treatments to help her.
It's not the cancer that causes a patient to lose their hair, but the harsh effects of chemotherapy.
98628
I know cancer doesn't cause her to lose her mane. >.> My grandma had cancer...
But I feel like Rarity is so vain that it would have been a good thing to include.
Also, I realize my comment sounded mean, but I really did like the story!
You amazingly got me to tear up and I hope to read more of your stories soon.
I think this is a well written fic with some nice insightful stuff in it. However I do feel that the premise really lets it down. The bizarre disconnect by using lymphosarcoma against a happy normal pony world just had me laughing out loud at the synopsis alone, and I know that isn't the tone you wanted, but it's something that stuck with me. The idea that a magical cartoon pony could die from something as horrible and specific as lymphosarcoma is so ridiculous that it becomes funny.
A man that gets hit by a car is sad, not funny. A man that gets hit by a giant flaming meteor covered in nuclear bombs and bullets constantly shooting out is funny not sad. Overkill, but you get the idea.
A beautiful heart. That was when i teared up,
but overall the story was uplifting, and on a side not, when I read the part about the opera song, I'm reminded of pachelbel canon in D. Am I the only one who thinks that?
..DUN, dun dun another one bits the dust.
I don't always give five stars. But when I do, its because they make me cry
. You've earned then.
Lovely work. I look forward to your future efforts!
I remember when you sent this to me for a beta-read over on FanFiction.net. (Yep, it's RLYoshi! Hello! Yeah, I don't have an account here. Whaddya gonna do.) Good to know you decided to upload it to this site, and even better that you've been getting such good responses! I still love this story, and it deserves all five of the stars I'm giving it.
Keep writing, friend. You've got a gift that deserves to be shared.
99017 Hi, RLYoshi. Thanks again for beta-reading my story. I actually didn't even realize this site existed until yesterday. I had intended to direct you here, but it looks like you already found your way here on your own.
Although I've only been signed up for about a day, I can already tell I like the people here.
I will take your advice and continue writing. Again, thank you.
Sad face.
The story was fairly interesting...however, I have some issues with the way you began it. Specifically, the unnecessary details.
There's no reason for Rarity to write about her experiences as if there was some other species that would read the story. Why bother explaining what ponies are, or what Equestria is? Unless there's a specific in story reason for it, such as an altered timeline, or the story being written while in an alternate universe, or something else along those lines...there is literally no good reason for Rarity to explain what ponies are and what Equestria is. Writing down those excessive details can harm the story, because it makes it harder for a reader to get into it.
This was amazing. I wanted to see Rarity's last 5 months, though. It was beautiful, uplifiting, and a great reminder of the human psyche. I loved it.
99047 Yeah, I read stories on here quite a bit, and I noticed this story in the reccommendations in the top bit and it looked familiar. I read it and instantly recognized it.
You just made me look past Rarity's imperfections. Her overdramatic behavior, tendency to be snobby. Everybody has faults, but in the face of death, the good become perfect. We shirk off our imperfections and become truly happy. Rarity is much more generous than I took her for. While I can't say I enjoyed how nopony kept to their promises, it was a great fic and it made me cry. Good job.
gonna read this cause Vyreinos is being a bitch and not uploading part 11 of teardrops and snowflakes
glad i read it now. you earned my five now im gonna go cry a little
Ah, this makes me tear up, I lost my brother to rhabdomyosarcoma when I was 9 so this story tugs the heart strings pretty rough.
Cancer doesn't make you lose hair, it's the chemo therapy. Just a little nit pick for an otherwise good story
as soon as all the ponys started saying what they could do i teared up hen they didn't and i was like :rainbow huh: but after wen pinkie sat on the swing i was
got a little misty eyed not bad
I am sorry to say that, due to complications and
A bad habit of reading to much
I did not cry and i did not sniffle, In fact i sat through this story with A small grin on my face.
My heart has been hardened and built up a resistance to Sad by Things such as "My Little Dashie" And has been darkened
By the filth of the internet.
I get the message you were trying to condone, but it fell on deaf ears when you passed it my way.
Apologies.
Cheers

Girly tears were shed.

indeed...
Man.... this made me smile at first but then... the end is just sad and happy I cannot describe it
99333 I remember hearing advice from a reader to write as though you were writing for someone who had never heard of My Little Pony, Equestria, or any of that. I decided to follow that advice, although you may be right that the story takes too long to get started as a result. In the future, I think I'll try to make establishing the world a more seamless part of the narrative.

That's good. Thank you.
Meanwhile sweetie bell is at her parents house wondering where the hell Rarity has been for the last year
From the description I honestly expected a longer story but it is well written and sappy as hell (as expected)
But seriously not even a mention of sweetie bell. It's not like I'm begging for her to be in the story but she should have at least been at the funeral.
Unless she was and I missed it ............ In that case I'm and idiot and hope you can over look it
106820 Since this was a short story, I wanted to keep the number of characters to an absolute minimum, and I felt the inclusion of Rarity's family would have complicated things. On the other hand, perhaps a brief mention might have prevented this kind of question.
this reminds me a lot of another fanfic called pretty in pink. manly tears were shed. on a side note i always figured i would die from something like that though.......
okay...this thing im holding next to me...its my bag of stars...TAKE THEM ALL! Just dont tell anypony about the tears that were shed here
... I'm going to do some thinking now. really good stuff
