Twilight floated a second fritter up to her mouth when she realized the first was gone. “What is in these things?” “Mostly love. Love ‘n about three sticks of butter.”

This looks very interesting. First thing on my reading list tonight!

Oh Bookplayer. Wow. Seriously, bravo. This is exceptional work. Anguish and lies, fear and self-loathing, just... again. Seriously.

Cracked my Top 5 of all time. Can't wait for more.

Another story :twilightsmile: Though it is sad, I'd like to see where this progresses. Poor AJ :fluttercry:
While I was reading, I spotted two things that you might like to adjust:
(change then to than) But soon as she got any farther back than my cutie mark it felt all wrong, and I had to pull away.
(rearrange) I want to fix it/this so bad, and I can't. But tell me anything I can do to make it better, it'll happen right away, no questions.”

Well. It's an uncomfortable and difficult subject and you've written it well.

I'd like to read more.

congrats on writing about a subject, about which I made clear it wouldn't interest me, in a manner that interests me.

Damn you, magnificent writer
God speed

Ouch. Poor AJ. :ajsleepy: But... at least she's not alone. :rainbowdetermined2: As long as she has Dash, she should be alright.

This is really good,It's getting Intense.Your a really good writer :pinkiesad2: ,This has to be the best Apple jack story I have read in awhile :heart:

This is really good so far. I was wondering what it'd be about when you said that you were going to write it and I've been pleasantly surprised by the topic you picked. That twist on Manehattan was very well done. I can't wait to see how this'll develop!

I think I'm going to be sick too. :pinkiesick:

Thank you.

992692
Working on it.

992705
I know. Her situation has to be one of the hardest in the world, and especially for AJ.

992869
Thank you, I'm honored. I'm going to do my best to make this dark and painful, but to still show the hope and magic all around. We'll see if I can pull this off and stay in your top five.

992905
Thank you for pointing those out. I fixed them. I'm glad it's interesting.

993040
Thank you. I'm sure I'll write something bad someday, but I hope it's not often.

993473
Thank you. I'll try to have more soon.

993515
Someday you'll learn to trust me. I'm glad you like it, because I don't know what I'd do without you on my side.

Well that's certainly a different take on things. :applecry:

993625
Dash might present some complications as well as support, but it's definitely better for AJ to have her than to be alone.

994059
Thank you. I seem to write AJ a lot, so I'm glad the practice had paid off.

994677
Thanks! It's a difficult subject, and I hope I can do this well. I've seen other (not-fanfic) authors deal with the subject with grace and dignity, and I'm hoping I can do the same.

994701
I'm sorry. I know it's difficult, I'm sorry if you found it upsetting.

994910
I know, probably not a take that comes to mind when one thinks of ponies. I hope you found it interesting.

Well I know who's gonna be eviscerated in my dreams tonight. Very well written piece of work ya have here.
Now where's my scalpel? I feel like pealing an orange.

This is a really interesting concept - I never would have thought that up for the oranges, but the way you put it makes it work (I may have to wait a while before watching the cutie mark episode again, though, or I may punch my computer screen when the uncle shows up). Is it weird that concepts like this can strangely work in the pony universe? The idea reminds me of Law and Order SVU a bit. Definitely interested in reading more, and hopefully AJ can stop her pedo-pony uncle and send him to prison - or better yet, get Celestia to boot him to the moon.

994909 The thing is, I already knew and said that you would write it in an interesting way for me

It is YOU who didn't believe me and asked me if I wanted to skip this story

I already trust you

994997 Yeah, this is the first serious fic I've read in a while, so I was kinda caught off gaurd. I'm hoping Rainbow Dash pays that creep a visit. :twilightangry2:

995121>>995360
Thanks! It'll be a little while before we actually deal with Uncle Orange, but he will be dealt with.

995499
I'm sorry if I ruined Cutie Mark Chronicles for you. . . I hope it's not for too long.
And I don't think it's weird that they can work. The innocence in MLP can make the loss of it a striking contrast, if it's handled carefully, and the strong bonds of love between the ponies give it hope for healing. It does take an extremely careful hand, which I'm trying to have.

I'm glad you're watching, and I'll be interested in your thoughts!

I love the romantic, loving side you let Dash have in this chapter
It makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside :heart::pinkiehappy:

Dash is officially best marefriend :rainbowkiss:

Another intriguing chapter. I agree with DbzOrDie - I love how you portray Dash's supportive side. I find certain fanworks and even the show occasionally (cough Maredowell cough) sometimes toss Dash's connection with Loyalty out the window in favor of showing her as completely tactless, but you keep that part of her personality intact and in cooperation with her other characteristics. I'm no expert or anything, but I think you're handling this topic really well. AJ's guilt and desire to keep everything as secret as possible, as well as her determination to regain mastery over her own life is really spot on for how many victims seem to feel about these types of traumatic events. As always, eager to read more and see where you take this :pinkiehappy:

I'm bein' tossed back and forth here. I love how Dash and AJ interact but I hate how AJ feels about the whole thing. She just keeps tearing herself apart.

Supportive Dash... that's a rare sight in and of itself. And I love it. AJ blaming herself is also a nice touch of realism. You're really doing an excellent job with this!

1013409
Dash is doing her best with a really tough situation.

1013578
Thank you. I've done some research, and I'm glad it shows. Just as long as it doesn't sound sounding like a textbook or a Lifetime Movie.

1014237
I know, AJ beating herself is hard, but it's a pretty typical reaction to this kind of thing. Like Dash said, it messed her up more than she realizes. Hopefully with the help of her friends she'll be able to get her life back to normal.

Thanks!

I think Fimfiction is acting up too much to try going for featured (if you were going for it, I still don't know exactly how it works)
My dearest companion, I require moar of this substance you call writing.

1041826
I doubt I'll get featured anyway, with this one. It's "mature" and not a subject a lot of people go for.

I have a better shot than our buddy FelixDawn who updated right before me, though. :ajsmug:

I agree with Rarity and Dash. Destroyed is a good option.

1041853
:duck: - "Now, now, we shouldn't talk about ruffians like Felixdawn around a tale as magnificent as yours."
:raritystarry: - "I for one, simply adore how you handle the subject, as much of a drama king I can be."

Are these chapters getting longer? :pinkiegasp:
I'd be reading this right now if I didn't have to go buy and make dinner.

well; damn; this fic continues to impress and amaze me.

Protective Dash is so cute! :ajsleepy: :rainbowdetermined2:
Hmm, I wonder if the princess will be sending Uncle Orange to the moon or the sun? That is if Rainbow doesn't disembowel him first. :trollestia:

I'm not moving from this seat until this gets updated again. Who needs food, water, and sleep anyway?

1041853 Well it should get featured, because this is a really good story. So good, that I give it 11 moustaches out of 10 :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

I'm really loving this first person Applejack narrative. It's seldom seen and you're doing a great job with it. :ajsmug:

This is so fitting for Dash. Protective to the end... but she's being overprotective. Which is so like her. I can see how this could lead to conflict with AJ, but she understands it so it won't be a huge fight.

...Right? :pinkiesad2:

Very serious topic, but I'm impressed with how it's set up here. I hope the standard keeps up as I keep reading. *clicks next*

Hmm, seems like this fic has handled the sensitive topic really well. I'm glad this didn't turn into narm.

wut?!:rainbowhuh: poor AJ...
seems to be set up nicely... clicks next as well....

I don't know how to feel about this fic I am enjoying it but sad that it is unfinished. no rush just hoping for the best with AJ:ajsleepy:

1345741
I'm actually working on this fic tonight. I can't make any promises for when it'll get posted, but it's not abandoned, I promise.

It's been a little while since the last update here. I apologize profusely, and I hope I get to the next one sooner, I hate to leave things in a spot like this.:ajsleepy:

sweet celestia and luna above

AJ's tearing herself apart.

Sheesh, this one is painful.

Applejack, you danged fool! :ajsleepy: Get back with Dash! She's the best thing that'll ever happen to you!
