After reading through this (skipping the clop, because I dislike clop), I have to admit, I liked the "Sacrifice" ending better. It reminded me of the movie "The Guardian" and its ending; tearful but for a reason. The "Promise" ending feels like it was made just in case people didn't like the other ending, and it feels off because of that.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 KJV
Oh man this ending,
not only did they ignore Anon in the snow, come on, at least try to help him or something, it was clearly visible that he was in pain with frostbite and all that. But to see the how it end with the flower at the cave, I will tell you, first time I read this at night, I couldn’t sleep.
But in the end I really like it!, very well written

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the Sacrifice Ending. It's my personal favorite as well. That bible verse is perfect for that ending! Your summation of the Promise ending is fairly accurate. It was written in response to negative feedback from /mlp/. I'm happy you enjoyed the story in it's original form.
4263731
Jeez man. Take a nap. Ha! I'm happy you enjoyed it. Truely, it means a lot to me.
Damn this story was a hell of a ride! In a good way I mean :P

It's great to hear the two of you enjoyed it! I'm really happy to hear it. I only hope to make more content you will enjoy in the future!
4264600 :P
Meh, needs more boners.
Edit: Wow, people don't realize that this comment's an in-joke.
Dumbasses...
Damn...
Now that's a sad ending. Here's your rating:

Wait....they just let him die in the snow?!
What the fuck?!
Read this in the 'Smells Like Teen Cadance' thread and liked it a lot there. I'm glad to see it here too, and on the front page no less. Awesome. Looking forward to more.
4264768
I know. Needing more boners is a very common complaint.
4265232
Conceal, don't feel. Don't let them know!~ I'm happy to hear you liked it.
4265360
I'm not sure how to take your comment, but I'm assuming it's either feels or outrage. Hopefully you enjoyed the story.

Thank you for supporting me here as well as in the thread Anon.... erm. Weltrath. It feels great knowing that people are willing to cross sites to put in a good word. It means a lot to me.
I would prefer to think of the second chapter as a dream. Not because I am opposed to anything other than "and they all danced happily ever after" endings. But that the entire reasoning behind why Anon needed to die in the second one was tenuous at best.
I can't imagine even a teenage unicorn being unable to cast simple magic. For example, heat magic, flare or other such flashy spells to gain attention to their position, a minor shield to ward off snow and wind, you would think they would have unicorns able to detect magic looking for a princess of all things. Or even simple teleportation to quickly climb down the mountain and get help. If you are going to ignore all the obvious "magic" plotholes, you mine as well have it all work out in the end. Otherwise the death scene feels unwarranted and forced.
4263587 See I'd have to disagree entirely. Not that I have an aversion to sad fic's if they're done right but his death seemed entirely pointless. It stands to reason that just like in the happy ending, that cadence could have used some form of magic to let them escape or at least keep them warm. His death wasn't a result of a great struggle as far as we were aware. Perhaps if the story had focused a significantly higher portion of time on the struggle of digging out of the cave and of walking back to the group it might have been different. Just my 2 cents.
I think I like the story, minus the clop (I personally don't like clop at all, and with this I felt its just an add-on, not really necessary...really. Anyway its probably because I was more focused on the trapped/dialogue/getting out parts. Which were done nicely, may I add)
I read the Sacrifice first, and initially thought as mildly heartwarming. But then I realised its kind of ridiculous, firstly you're stuck with a princess who can teleport, and probably melt snow with a simple spell. *Poof* You're back at camp? If you wanted a sacrifice, there might be a better way. Or at least don't forget that Alicorns can do magic aside from fly
Irony, the cover pic is Cadence doing magic!
Oh and nice touch with the music. I think it went well!
For the "Promise" ending, it just amplifies the lack of intelligence Anon acquired and displayed in "The Sacrifice". Woot, a few more hours and the snow would've stopped and Princess Cadence would've dug her way out.
I'm new to 2nd person human "Anonymous" but is it naturally assumed to be a guy?
4264768
People not in on the joke don't recognize that it's an inside joke? Go figure.
Just..........wow. I don't know what to say, i will say that this made me cry, and it is very hard to get me to cry. This is a amazing story, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. This story made me think, I would probably do the same thing that anon did for that one person that i will hopefully meet someday. Thank you for this.
You glorious writer, you posted this here? Wonderful. Now to see if that alternative ending was any good.
Fuck no!FUCK NO!
Anon is dead.Not big surprise.He'll Be remembered
Dude...that was an awesome read
Instead of water I used Red bull for my coffee this morning. By the time I got to school I realized I forgot my car. I live 12 miles out of town.
Also good read, haven't read it yet but good read.

These are marvelous observations about the ending to this story and I agree with all of you. Hindsight is always 20/20 and at the time of writing, what sounded like a brilliant idea and felt like a perfect ending did not get enough elaboration or thought into WHY it would happen. So I agree with you. If there is one single thing I had to identify as absolutely wrong in this story, it would be the reason behind Anon's actions in the sad ending. That is, the lack of a decent one given to the reader. Hopefully the story was otherwise enjoyable. I intend to learn from my mistake and try to avoid such an error in the future. Thank you for your comments.

I'm happy that the both of you enjoyed the story so much. I had a ton of fun writing it and only hope to exceed the expectations that were set upon me from this story.

W-was it?

I can't blame you. I didn't read it yet either.
4269665 Always nice to hear writers taking feedback to heart, regardless of whether they do anything with it. I'm very much looking forward to whatever it is you do next.
At least you got them to know eahcother so I'd say it's more tolrable than most I've come across not to mention you gave Cadance a history of wanting to know him so that makes it better. I don't normally have stuff like this in my favs but the Star is worth it.
I am officially pissed with the guards
. Anon was a good person and like Luna greatly misunderstood. They should have helped him you did a great job with bringing out my emotions. You made me want to write some parting words for him.
R.I.P Anon the U.S.E will forever remember your sacrifice and bravery in the face of impossible odds. Go with God and may the Star Wolves guide you to your home. You will be written in the history of humanity as a leader and protector. You were always a soldier and as such you deserved a soldiers burial. But alas it didn't happen the way it should have. We will seek out those who let you die and we will make them pay for they're crimes. God bless you little one and may you find love once again.
Sincerely,
Sky Commander Dark Phoenix of the U.S.E.
This chapter reminds me of the movie I Am Legend. One ending he dies and the girl plus the child get away and find the survicors and the second one he lives and they all survive to get to the survivors. This is a happy ending and I have to say you did great with both story endings.
awesome an unique
anon the hero shall be remembered
I must say I was intrigued by this.
While you start off your story in a rather unusual setting—which was a good idea—it quickly led to the same sort of "falling-in-love-head-over-hooves" story. Having said that, it's not plausible for me to think that things between [you] and Cadence would ever escalate that quickly (I am talking less than 13,000 words). Your prose was decent and grammar was good, but personally, I never really believed in the concept of head-over-hooves romantic love like is depicted in countless one-shot love-fics like this one (chalk that up to never having a mare-friend).
Having said that, the story was well-written for a one-shot romance fic, which is very difficult to make the reader believe that something like this could happen. You managed to make me believe in that and you really tugged at some heartstrings by writing the "Sacrifice" ending to the story. I do, however, see it as pointless for [your] sacrifice, given Cadence could easily blast the snow away, which you point out in your alternate ending, "Promise."
Starfall's Rating:
7.7/10. Memorable. A decent read, but not exactly one that will win an award.
both endings are good, but I far prefer this one
sad but at least she can still move on and feel free.
Too bad apparently none of them know basic treatment for hypothermia.
There's a saying in first-responders to such situations: They aren't dead until they're WARM and dead.
Revival would have been a simple affair of restarting his heart and gradually warming him.
Oh well, ponies are stupid I guess.
OH MY GOSH. You sir, you are a MASSIVE jerk. I swear this is-insert sound of wanting to punch someone you can never punch- a load of junk.
*sigh* Ok, I'm better now. Really good chapter, very well written, but I ABSOLUTLY hate it. Always will. Anon was stupid too. Candence has magic for goodness sake. She could, I don't know, LEVITATE IT AWAY?!?! But then you wouldn't have a super sad moment and I wouldn't respect you/want to punch you in the face as much as I want to right now.
So kudos man, kudos.
Surprise surprise surprise, Candenfe used her magic when she woke up.
Silly Anon, you died FOR NOTHING. (In an alternate ending of course.)
Good story.
both endings were great. i cant decide which one i like more. i would say i liked the sacrifice better if anon had died a different way, because it seems a bit illogical considering cadence just used magic in this one. i think it would have been better if the trip had been longer which would mean anon would have had to look for help while cadence waited and have anon die on the way but leave a trail or the guards to find her. that would have been slightly better imo.
really great read though. i liked how the second chapter ended on a deep note.
Outstanding. Although, gotta say, I kept expecting Cadence to follow Anon home and rape him when his parents left for the evening.
i man, that was............intense fireden.net/4chan/images.4chan.org//vg/src/1364052173612.png
Sacrifice ending was the better ending, but I am glad I was able to go back and read the Promise ending and leave Trapped on a happy note.
Both endings work well together.
At first I felt the Promise ending felt a bit contrived, but as it went on I quite appreciated the extra story going on within it. Both were honestly totally fitting, and I really enjoyed your recommended listening links, I think they added a lot to the emotion
Though I will say I got a sort of weird uncomfortable feeling reading the Promise ending, when I knew that the Sacrifice was a possible ending as well. Something weirdly depressing about the characters in it that were happy and what not, but in the alternate one is dead and the other is heartbroken.

Wow everyone. Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I may sound like a broken record at this point, but I hope to only exceed your expectations next time.

A common feeling. You never know around that Cadance mare....
4271115
Wise observation. I've commented earlier that I've had my issues with the sacrifice ending for several reasons and this is one of them. Hopefully the rest of the story was enjoyable!
4272256
Thank you for commenting! Recommended Listening has been something I've experimented with a lot. I'm happy to hear it was successful here.

Starfall, let me start by saying thank you for your review. I'm happy that I was able to help you believe in that love blooming. I suppose I could say something witty about "size doesn't matter", but I suppose the joke is implied. Your observations about the endings is very accurate. Thank you for your positive rating and I hope that one day I can have the honor of getting your 10/10.
4275483
I did enjoy reading this. I did not completely buy into Cadence and [you] falling in love that quickly, but I at least thought it made rational sense once or twice, which is good. You might be able to grab that 10/10 yet, but I will say now:
I am difficult to impress.
4275511
Challenge. Accepted.
Oh god what am I doing.4275516 Alright, lets see what you write next XD
And here we have the feel in its natural habitat.
Though it failed to melt my frozen heart, this was still very sweet
That was awesome
... So now I have to chose sacrifice or promise...hmm...:applejack unsure:
...
I can't decide
... I know what to do...YOLO
Yes YOLO worked
This was pretty good.
Fantastic. Both ending were wonderful, but I liked this one a bit more. Have a thumbs up and fave.
