Honestly, great fucking job with this story. Perfect length, doesn't overstay its welcome with what it is doing and accomplishes the tone perfectly. I'll say that it is one of my favorites from ya, totally not also saying this cuz I'm pan and have felt every inch of the mood in this story.

High quality shit Ice, high fucking quality.

You’re only saying that because I made a boob joke in an otherwise serious story.

Boob jokes are always appreciated!!!

But nah, I say it because you did a great job characterizing the emotions and dissonance of actions with Diamond. It's hard as fuck to grow up knowing you're queer but living in a situation where you can't express it at all without risking your own safety. The time spent suffering, yearning, agonizing over every little detail to make yourself not present as what you know you are. Even if you don't know how to write a lesbian character, you surely know how to write a queer character, better than most authors I've read.

Boob jokes are like boobs.
Even when flat pretty nice.

Damn but you smashed this one out of the park.

Beautifully written. There are people out here that need to read this.

'I definitely don't relate to this at all, can't understand people like Diamond Tiara, and don't like your story. (SOME IRONY OR SARCASM)'

Also I've never written a story even a teensy bit like this one (but also different), and people who don't like this story definitely won't like my story either.

Also, people who don't like this story definitely won't like this other story, which they ALSO should never, ever read because they won't enjoy it at all.

TThe Sum of Our Parts
There are a lot of things Diamond Tiara is, and a lot of things she isn't. One of the latter just unexpectedly drifted into her life again. She'd much prefer if it hadn't. [T-2nd Place in the 2019 EFNW Iron Author competition]

Oh my god. Ice, this is some of the best characterization I've seen, period. The little details that make this feel so real, the way it ties in to other parts of the story via Sunset. How you mention Diamond's mom hating the cmc as an explanation for why eqg Diamond bullies them. You've managed to fit an entire novels worth of a story in little more than a thousand words. I am envious of your abilities.

During gym class, Diamond Tiara never once thought about suggesting that maybe it was unfair that the state wouldn’t allow Beatrix Lulamoon to join the cheerleading team. And when a copy of the freshman boys’ list of the hottest upperclassmen girls mistakenly made its way into the hands of her and Silver Spoon, Diamond never found it preposterous that Trixie didn’t make the top ten (or that half a dozen different guys had scratched out her name and re-added it in different places nearly twice as many times).

Huh?

even though Trixie had been transitioning for years by then

Ah.

When Sunset Shimmer was a bigger bully than Diamond Tiara ever was, she never found herself having to swallow protests that Sunset had added Trixie to the upperclassmen girls’ parallel list as the most ugly boy in the whole school.

Wow so much for being a bi ally
