To love somepony is easy. To let them into your heart, somepony you care for, somepony you want to protect, somepony you would do anything for. Letting them in is easy. The pain comes when you lose them. This is something Applejack is not unaware of. However, after suffering yet another crippling loss of life to one of her own, the well-known farm pony begins to lose herself, falling into a pit of despair, trapping herself in a cycle of self-blame, anger, and agony. Watching her friend do this to herself is unbearable for Rarity, who makes her way to the farm determined to try and help the friend who doesn’t want it. But she has to try. Because, isn’t that what friends are for?
Chapters (1)
You made me cry. This is so good, I love it, but I hate it too because I don't want these feels. Amazing writing.
You get Five Happy Pinkie Pies from me!
Can't wait for the next chapter
That was really sad but exceptionally well done. I look forward to the next chapter.
I was... almost afraid to write a comment to this story. It's so good that I am unsure if I even can show you how much I loved it. It really made me cry. Applejack is my favorite pony and I always admire how strong and unbreakable she is. It's hard to write about her in the state of depression, simply because she is too prideful and firm. It's hard to break her, especially because of her tendency to be strong, if not for herself, then for others. And Apple Bloom was her reason to be strong - she always had to be like a mother figure for her little sister. It must be devastating for her to know that she let Apple Bloom die. She was the sunshine in her life and with her gone, nothing can be the same anymore. I love how you portrayed a bond between her and Sweetie Belle. They understand each other and suffer together. Sweetie Belle is so mature here, she isn't the one to blame Applejack, because she knows how much AJ loved her best friend and knows that she would never hurt her. She cares about AJ, because in some way, she is like a sister for her. I was afraid that she and Scootaloo would hate Applejack, but they don't. And it's heartbreaking and beautiful in the same time. Oh, and I loved that scene when Sweetie Belle and AJ talk. It was... wow. I loved how Applejack tried to be strong for that little filly and was honest with Sweetie, when she asked about how she is feeling. It says a lot about these two.
I also really like relationship between Rarity and AJ. I think I understand, why it's Rarity, not Twilight or Rainbow, not even Pinkie. They could understand, but not in the same way. Rarity is a sister, too. She cares about Sweetie Belle and she can imagine the horror of losing her. She and Applejack may be so different, but if you think about it - they have so much in common!
The truth is... this story is heartbreaking. I can't imagine the pain Applejack is going through and the only thing I wanted to do, while reading it was to give her a strong, warm hug. Well done, my dear, well done. It's the beautiful story.
PS sorry for my English, I'm from Poland and writing in different language is pretty hard, especially if I have to write about something as emotional as this fan fiction :)
3721196 Wow thank you so much! Reading this completely made my day, and I'm glad you liked the fic
. You write English very well, and thank you for taking the time just to say that to me. I really appreciate it 
There's no possible way to express how much I love this fic. Applejack is my favorite pony because I think I can relate myself with her personality. -At least here- she needs to be the strong one and be there for others but when something bad happens she needs someone to help her so she can overcome her pride and sadness. I could relate every sentence she said and how bad the pain was. I'm glad of not having a tragedy so I can affirm that I know how it would to be in her place but I think if something like that happens to me I would react like that.
There's too much to say but I'm sure I can't add it here, not this night, maybe not in this life.This story truly touched my heart, thank you for writing this!
P.D. I don't know if it is fate or something else but suddenly my iTunes library decided to put "How to Save a Life" by The Fray.
3725573 Thank you very much for reading and commenting!
P.S. I love The Fray
OMG thes feels, the feels, this was a fantastic read, hope to see more of it :D
I... I cried at this. I have never, not once in my entire life, cried at a story. Do you remember when Dobby the Elf died in Harry Potter? Not a drop. When Bambi's mother died? Nothing. When Will Smith had to kill his dog in I Am Legend? Nada.
Thank you.
3862446 You don't even know how much that means to me thank you. I cried like a baby when that dog died, so just hearing that comparison is amazing. Thank you :)
3721196 There is nothing I can say that will compare to what you said, except one word: Ditto.
This song was going through my head while I was reading this.
Wow. Just, wow. This fic is insanely underappreciated. It is such a beautiful story. I know it's been quite a while since this story was originally published, but I had to say this. It was just such a great story.
That was some incredibly moving stuff. One of my favorite bits was AJ talking about how scared she is to forget Applebloom's face. A terrifying thought indeed. I came looking for Rarijack, but the further I got into the story the more I realized that romance had no place here! But that's perfectly fine, you handled their friendship remarkably well. I'm a satisfied reader. :)
Oh look, another knife stabbed into the mess that is my heart. WHYYYYYYYY WITH THE FEELS
