Being the level headed mare she is, one thing Applejack always desires before blowing her top is an explanation. Even the most hare brained scheme can be justified if it makes a meagre ounce of sense.
Today is not one of those days.
A Reflection-Verse story.
A very late entrant to Mockingbirb's Arboreal Yearnings Contest.

I have been enjoying your "Diamond Dog Twilight" stories, but I don't like this part of it. Making Twilight so powerful really doesn't match what we see on the show at all , and by making her far more threatening and dangerous than she should be smacks of contrived drama. Ponies are pretty tough.

While that's a fair, remember....
A. Its a semi unreliable narrator, note I use the term "To an outside observer". Diamond Dog interactions in universe aren't frequent and tend to resolve in either dissappearances or outright murder. The natural assumption most Equestrians make is that they're tough SOB's since the few survivors tend to use their smarts to get away.
B. Diamond Dogs prey on Ponies. if I wanted to make them tough, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Rarity herself in "Reflection" comments on how strong Twilight is and how frightening she can be.
C. Within the show itself the only time Diamond Dogs are injured involves Rarity being shrill and irritating, or Spike explicitly drilling one with his tail (and that's just a brief yell of pain) , a drill that goes through solid earth and rock. These guys are VERY tough.
I read this story for contest judging, and when recently reminded of it I reread it for fun.
It's interesting to see a story that's close to 90% characters conversing about the story's backstory (and worldbuilding, a bit), that's also a story that works. (And really, implied and explicit backstory made interesting are a big strength for this story, imho.)
I mean, there's no reason that kind of thing can't be made to work well, but a lot of fanfic writers would not accomplish it.

~Tbf~To be fair, this story is an AU where Twilight is a diamond dog.11591245
Yes, I'm aware of that. (If you think I am not aware that Twilight is a Diamond Dog, you fail reading comprehension). My point was that the story overly wanks the dangerousness of Diamond Dogs, at least compared to what we see in the show.

I think it's allowable as an AU?
I mean, that's how I personally see it, allowable as...etc.
Hello! I've been reading and reviewing all the treefics, so here's yours. I haven't read Reflection and I couldn't help thinking I was missing things (not least concerning why Twilight is... what she is!) -- but fortunately you're a good enough writer that I still quite enjoyed this. As I say in the review, Reflection-Verse fans are likely to enjoy it even more.
Very cute n_n
