Far away, in the magical land of Equestria, grayscale ponies walk the earth. To have hues in one's hair is to be shunned by others.
With every hour, minute, and second, Topaz Glow makes sure she is the mare she has to be.
Even if that means she can never be the mare she is.

Smells like a spambot to me.
You're still you. 🌈
Wow. This has to be one of my favorite stories on this site.
Definitely my favorite sub 10k words story.
Very very well done. I think you captured the feelings of depression and hopelessness that comes with being trapped in the closet, especially as trans, perfectly.

Thank you for the kind words! I wished to make sure this story captured those feelings of hopelessness, and I'm glad I hit my mark. I hope for the day when the themes of this story are no longer relevant, but until then, we'll have each other.
Cheers.
