    Read this a while ago on deviant art and just wanted to drop a line and say I really enjoyed it. I think this was the very first ship fic I ever read and possibly the first time I really started enjoying Trixie's character. I guess it's safe to say I can blame you for where I am now. :rainbowlaugh:

    One criticism that I did have was how uber powerful Trixie became at the end (through the power of :heart: no less) and found it rather forced. I would have liked to see a different approach to getting away from the dragon. It felt like a Twilight solution rather than a Trixie one. Minor complaint but I was taken out of the story a bit because of it.

    That aside, really enjoyed the rest. I also found it funny how Fluttershy totally sussed out Applejack at the party. No one beats Fluttershy when she's all like :flutterrage:

    That's all I got! Thanks for sharing!

    Have I ever mentioned that this is like the best ship ever just because of this story? You'll find that many agree.

    There's not a lot I can offer in the way of criticism. Actually, scratch that. I got nothin'. This is one of the best shipfics out there. After all, the unexpected ship is the best ship, and the fact that you kept everyone flawlessly in character, well. I'll stop talking and start giving you stars.

    hey there bru i just wanted to say that this story is one i have actually reread. it's an unlikely pairing that conveys a consistent theme. it's so good that i have reread it. that's a big deal for fanfics. some are good, but few are rereadable.

    i do disagree a little bit with the rather sudden jump to danger, and even the notion that fluttershy's anger would be parsed as it was and less last effort--but the second chapter, in particular, is so good at detailing the two characters and the idea of recuperation on so many levels, that i actually do find myself reading it from time to time.

    the second and third chapters dealing with the growth and transformation at a very basic level? 2gud. 2gud.

    i'm a bit of a stickler on stories, romance in particular because of how badly romance can be written, but you did so well in the healing process that i reread it. i want to emphasize how rare this is.

    i'll have to give you a few swings for your other fics. not that i'm too enthusiastic to encounter anything with vinyl scratch. i've recently be tearing into the big octavia ships with her, and i mean. really tearing. she's a character that i have yet to see done in any way well.

    if you can make any of it as good as the first half or so of this story (note chapter 2 seriously), i'm pretty hopeful for any projects you decide to get going.

    That was truly wonderful. Previous to this story, I held deep contempt for Trixie's conceited, self-centered, arrogant ways. The back-story you have given her made me feel sympathy for her and the reasons she acted so poorly. Every time she questioned Fluttershy's kindness, I saddened. She could not understand her compassion because she had never know it before. The way the story moved and flowed together brought a variety of emotions into play, from that all-too-familiar loathing t'wards her in the beginning, to an unbridled joy as the story ends. Every scene filled with theatrics to rival Trixie's own. Not only have you created a romantic story that touched my heart, but you have completely changed my outlook on a certain character. In doing this, you have completely, and rightfully earned a perfect score. Absolute Five out of Five stars! Marvelous to say the least!

    It was in fact, a very well written, appropriately paced piece of literature, that only just so happens to be from a fandom. There are many published published and lauded authors who could not write this half as well, even using characters of their own choosing.

    Such beauty from a tale of redemption. This kind of pure storytelling magic should be impossible, and yet here it exists.

    It's not as often as I'd like that I see stories of Trixie being truly redeemed like this. I mean, her losing everything after the events of Boast Busters seems to be a constant in fics, but there's such a spectrum of ways I've seen her cope. Some had her become more bitter and vengeful, especially to Twilight; some had her build herself back up from the ashes and continue on as if it never happened. I've even seen her learn some semblance of a lesson from her experience, but not fully take it to heart and remain much the same pony she was before. But legitimate, complete redemption... I need to seek those out more often, because I KNOW there are a ton. But really, I've only seen it in shipfics like this and Major Problems. And even then, the latter's still a work in progress.

    You know what they say: You can't spell sympathetic without pathetic. Fluttershy is well done, though.:pinkiesmile:

    Fraking awesome story, you did a fantastic job with Trixie and Fluttershy, almost enough to knock Rarity and Pinkie Pie off the top as my favorite shipping couple.  (But :duck: is my fav so she still gets it.)

    The only part that seemed contrived at all was Trixies magical power vs the dragon, I think it might have been a wee bit better if instead of the raw power of twilight she managed to use her tricks to help them escape.

    That ending was very beautiful and befitting of Trixie, I enjoyed this little change of pace. Not often I get to read a Trixie/Fluttershy paring -claps-

    Haha. I agree with others. Trixie really needs a pushover to teach her a lesson. Sure, I know she'll get reasonable soon, but for now...

    um...alright.
