Trixie's life has been nothing but a mess after her duel with Twilight, but things start to look up when she is offered a chance to be Princess Luna's student in Canterlot. Before she knows it, her entire life starts to change drastically.
The Great and Powerful Trixie journeys to the Weird West to clear her name, but she quickly gets tangled up in a conspiracy to control the sleepy town of Saddlestone.
There is a magician volunteering at the school house. Rainbow Dash investigates and finds something surprising. She, Rarity and Applejack confront Ms. L
Trixie returns to Canterlot defeated and in desperate need of another chance at success. But is she willing to accept a shot at redemption from a long-time rival? (EFNW contest entry)
Life is a series of ups and downs, something that Trixie Lulamoon has been taught since day one, and something she takes to heart down the road. But it's not over, and there is always the chance to get back up and make something of it all.
Trixie Lulamoon has led a hard life, especially after the events of her magic duel with Twilight Sparkle. Now trying to piece herself back together, can she learn the meaning of friendship from her first real friend, Maud Pie?
What is a reformed and apologetic mare to do? Continue being the best travelling showpony around, of course! These are the adventures of Trixie Lulamoon. Foes are faced, crowds entertained and the best kind of friendships are forged. Unusual ones.
Great use of description and great depiction of Trix's psyche. I loved how you walked us through each motion, instead of simply saying 'she stirred' - for slow pieces like this, such description is necessary to make the piece more reflective.
Great use of showing, not telling as well.
Faved.
I spotted a few typos, but nothing big. ('Flower' was used rather than flour, once)
I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for a good Trixie story that explores her thoughts and emotions. I like the use of Trixie struggling through the preparation of her cake, as the reader gets to experience just how hard it is in her current state. We follow her along on this little journey and are rewarded for our patience. Just like Trixie does.

Why is it that all the good stories are overlooked on this site? This is better than a lot of the other featured stories that I see on the front of the site. Sure this is a one-shot but that doesn't mean it's not well written.
This was a good story that hit me hard for some reason. I'm still trying to figure out why it resonated so well with me. You have a slow paced story that focuses so much on the little tasks while perfectly showing us images of her past and allowed us to slowly get the full picture. You then throw in those little comments that seem to hit all the harder when contrasted with the rest, like the quick comment about the rose on the coffin. You also do a good job of ending this and I like the little joke about Celestia's gift. :) Why this isn't rated higher, I have no idea.
I liked it.

A simple story with a lot of weight.

A wonderful little story. Congrats!

(And thanks @ both of you for the comments!)
Simply sublime.
You can make the very simple things become full of emotion 4Darker.
Damn you. You made me shed a couple of tears. That's hard to do.
