God... Just god.:fluttercry: Quite possibly, the best story focused on this character I've ever read. I was actually reading these lines in William Shatner's voice as I read through this. That's how spot-on you got Grand Pear.

I'm crying...

Wow thank you

That was the goal :rainbowlaugh:

I wasn't as much moved with the episode, but this... got to me. :fluttercry:

Dang, that's high praise. Thanks :eeyup:

*clicks favourite button*

:fluttercry: oops, one of my tears must have landed on the button

I could only imagine the rest of the pear family/relatives react learning on what Grand Pear had done. Disgust with themselves? regret that they never got to say good bye to Pear Butter before she passed? Shame knowing such a silly feud was absolutely pointless in the end?

either way...beautiful work dude. A very well written story

Six months later and I finally got around to this bad boy.

I like what you were going for in this fic. Telling it in first-person like Grand Pear is recounting it to someone was a nice touch, makes it feel a little more down to earth. Also, the letters were very nicely done, and you absolutely captured Pear Butter’s voice in them. You told the story well, and I like it overall.

However, I look at this and feel like there’s a lot missing. I wanted to know more about Grand Pear’s family in Vanhoover, but all of their characterizations are vague and distant from the narrator. A lot of the emotional moments felt glossed-over, moved past without giving them enough time to leave their mark.

Conceptually, this topic is a tricky one to get right. It’s hard to really nail down the full scope of what transpired. You made a good go of it here, and while it didn’t quite pull off the powerful cocktail of emotion that it was going for, I feel like this writing shows promise. Enough promise for a like and a follow, no doubt. A little more work, and you’ll be making some real gems. Keep it up! :twilightsmile:

This Hurts to read!!!! Good Job!!

this was a delightfully sad read^^ would like to point out (though you probably already know) that since the publishing of this story, Grand Pear has had his tag officially added, and so far seems to have a mere 14 stories to its name, so that small collection would be a bit bigger and a bit better with yours in it :twilightsmile:

OMG :pinkiegasp: Thank you for pointing that out! I didn't know that. I've updated the tag so now there's 15 stories lol.

Glad you liked it.

:ajsmug:

Darn... I had a rather similar idea and then I decided to search if someone had the same idea already and surely enough, here it is.

I thought it completely different, of course, but not in eons I could ever write something like this. It is just so touching and well portrayed that I fail to see why any other version should come to exist.
The characters, the letters, the relationship and outcomes. It is all in its place and it has just the necessary words. No more, no less.

Truly beautiful. Thank you for making this.
