Depressed following the Ursa Minor incident, Trixie decides to return home to her remaining family for a visit. However, even years later, Whinnychester haunts her still.
Trixie isn't perfect, and she knows it. But behind the flashing lights and fake bravado there is another pony the world rarely sees, somepony who is just trying to protect the only pony she truly cares for.
[One-Shot] A not-quite-mare named Glitter Shell goes on a trip to find some acceptance and maybe even some affection; for ponies like her, hate is far more common.
Dat feel. This is a diamond among the coals. I congratulate you for your amazingly deep portrayal of Trixie in a new plight. It should be labeled tragedy as well.
You get a resounding meh from me; nothing personal. I like the idea that Trixie is trying to make her mother proud and the tragic back story to help motivate her. My issue with this story is simply a lack of pacing. As a whole; everything felt rushed, like you simply wanted to establish the basics of back story so you could get to the part where she admits she couldn't cut it. Without taking the time to properly flesh out her motivation in the first place; the final scene has as much weight as if that was the only paragraph in the story. Aside from that; just a few grammar mistakes, nothing massive but still there.
Summary; good potential but improper pacing destroys weight.
I'm not going to give you a vote however because, like I said, I don't dislike this story, but I don't like it either.
Man...this fic scared me. The cover and the "sad" tag made me think twice before reading it. I knew this fic would hit a sore spot. Man, I can't stop crying now. A happy end! I need a Trixie story with a happy end!
