Autumn Blaze never found the cure for the Stream of Silence.
Third place winner at the Iron Author Speedwriting Contest at Everfree Northwest 2022. Contestants must write a full pony story within 2 hours, based on a surprise prompt. This is my story as written for the contest, with minor edits. Additional edits may be made once I have received feedback from the judges.
Thank you to all those who hosted the contest.

Ahh, this was so good! Like, holy cow. Your stories are always such a pleasure to read.
Congrats on the third place win!
This tugged on my heart strings in the best way possible. Fantastic job on the story, and congrats on third place.

Silent or not, the Kirin are still people with passion and emotion. Much like the unicorns of G5, if they had none, they'd have died out a long time ago.
This is the most in-depth kirin worldbuilding I've ever seen.
I always considered what the Kirin society would have become had Autumn Blaze not found the cure. This is rather depressing, but also quite reasonable, I think. I like the little bit of worldbuilding you made, what with the Transcendence of Beauty. I've always thought fire was beautiful, and I like the idea of their society having a celebration just for it.
Shame I didn't get to hear this live. I was at EFNW, but I missed the contest and awards. Congrats on your win, though! Maybe we'll be rival contestants next year, eh? Providing I don't oversleep again...
Ah! So that is why the story felt so out of place when I heard it live! A very sad tale indeed. Sounds of Silence remains one of my favorite canon episodes not just because of Autumn Blaze, but because it's a spot on, kid-friendly metaphor for what happens to those who bury or deny their own feelings in order to avoid hurting others. Had they continued on that path...
Congrats again on the win!
Because she could not hear the Sound of Silence, she ended up walking alone on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, crying in her skin because the wounds would not heal.
This was an excellent quote, I like it a lot. I also really enjoyed this concept! It's always fun to see another speedwriting buddy. :D
Now I'm itching to write epic kirin imperialism. I'll be chewing on this one for a while, I can tell.

I feel like there was always a little bit of magic left in Equestria. Just nopony noticed it.

Perhaps you should read quicksand as well.

I’m getting chills. This is so beautiful. Into ‘Heartstrings’ this goes!
I heard this read at Iron Author - absolutely magnificent story. Congratulations on winning third.
Fantastic story! As a Iron Author judge, this absolutely deserved a place on the podium and I was glad to see that in the end it did. Well done!
