Diamond Tiara was beaten by her mother and has to retreat into her room.
All she wants to do now is to write a letter. It's all she can do.

This needs a sequal, with a happy ending, or at least a bittersweet one.

It's a spontaneous one-shot written as an outlet for some feelings I had. Therefore, there won't be a sequel. But there are other fanfictions about Diamond Tiara that I plan to write.
And for the happy ending, go and watch "Crusaders of the Lost Mark". :raritywink:
This story is set before it (as indicated by Diamond Tiara mentioning that the CMCs don't have their cutie marks yet).

Make a sequel sequel where she delivers this letter to Cherilee, has her mother arrested for child abuse, makes amends with the crusaders, and (maybe) gets adopted by Silver Spoon's family. Do it I can't take endings like this!

Interesting take on the situation.

Why cant someone just write a reconciliation between Diamond and her mom. i am sick of all these abuse stories.

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate that you like it. :twilightsmile:
Would you mind to give me a more detailed feedback? You're a far better author than me and I could need that. :scootangel:

Hmm, maybe because it would be sappy, cliched and unrealistic? :twilightsheepish:
Seriously, Equestria is no playground, bad things happen there and authors prefer to write realistic stories about Diamond Tiara and her mother, no sudden reconciliations full of rainbows and sunshine. I'm completely going with RarityEQM here.

6573010 I appreciate your comments, darling, however, I fear you may be mistaken. I am not a better author than you are. We both write horse words, and we both have different techniques, but I am no means 'better' than any pony! Especially you! We have similar talents and employee a variety of differing techniques that give life to boring old words and I would be honored to learn some of yours. <3

That's too much the praise, really. I mean, I get good ideas, maybe we're even there, I can't tell for sure, but getting good ideas is only one part of good writing.
There are still grammar rules I need to learn (no native speaker in english) and I need to get used to the ones I already know. And I still lack in descriptions, something I must improve on too.
And for techniques..... You will maybe be surprised that I don't have any. I just write what comes to mind and try to come up with as many creative descriptions as possible to make it sound worthwhile.
But I wish I had techniques..... Then I would be a way better writer, cause I would have something I could rely on and strategically use.

"And now go to your room, you disappointing slouch of a daughter."

Geez, no need for subtlety here.

One time, she was demolishing Scootaloo's scooter

Hey, the Scootabuse is sharing a soot with the Diamond Tiarabuse. Glad they can get along.

Quick writing tip. Try avoiding words with -ly, such as quietly, finally, dissmisively, so on. For instance, "He finally started talking quietly." I noticed you have a bunch of time modifiers like "finally," and there's usually better ways to do "quietly." You don't need finally, it's fluff. You can say whispered instead of using quietly. I don't know if you used that example, it just goes well with the tip.
That's not to say never use -ly words. Use them when you want to point something interesting about a thing. "Usually, he talks loud." "He carefully started the chainsaw."
That's my tip for the day. Keep having fun writing.

A quick piece to let out some feelings that would have eaten me up otherwise.

Oh, is this inspired by some experience in real life? Or did you mean feelings on the episode?

Anyway, this was an interesting read! Poor Diamond, get her child services, Twilight!

No, it's not based on personal experiences. But after I had forgiven her that day, after four days of first being unsure what to do and then intended to not forgive her right away, because I compared the abuse by her mother with the abuse by my own mother (which was different and nothing like what I portray in this fic has happened to me) and realized something due to that, I was suddenly flooded by an overwhelming amount of sadness and feelings for her that pulled me down.
So, I had to write this fic completely spontaneously to let out these feelings. If not, they would have made me depressed.

6707787 Dang, that's sad! I also know what it's like to have all of these heavy feeling weighing down on you and you just need to write it all down, I have done the same thing before about Scootaloo (because I'm most like her) but I've never posted it, but I'd like too. I shed a metaphorical tear of sadness for you, and also a like. :pinkiesad2: :heart:

It's fine. This shows that the characters you love (Did I just say I love Diamond Tiara? Woaaaaah.....) are really important to you and that they mean a lot to you.

Thanks for the read and the upvote! :scootangel:

Another of Diamond Tiara's nightmares.

Probably only one of many nightmares.....

Thanks for reading!

I can tell this will be a phenomenal story, I'll follow after I've read it...

yup- almost cried. I love this story. How it became undetected for 6 years? I am too upset to guess

A new reader of "Diamond's Letter".... It isn't often that a years old story gets a comment.

What is it that gave you this impression before you read the story?

The reveal of Diamond Tiara's homelife took many by surprise and shock. I hated her from the bottom of my heart before "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" aired, but after what we saw and learned in this episode, I had to reconsider a lot of things and do a lot of thinking about her.....
