After getting hooked and watching through My Little Pony: FiM I decided it would be a good idea to listen to some fanfiction readings of it on Youtube.
Initially, this idea was a horrible one. I started out with Cupcakes, which was ok compared to the other shock and gore fics I read afterwards, specifically Trixies Fun-house and Sweet Apple Massacre. However, my favorite was Rocket to Insanity for being more subtle and realistic than the other fics.
However, I can say without a doubt that the number one read I listened to was, of course, My Little Dashie. I cried like a ***** through nearly the entire length of it, clutching my pillow close to my side the whole while. And its just those four words spoken by Dashie that had such a masive effect
"I love you, daddy."
I have read many books, but none of them had ever made me care much for the relationship between a parent and child, nor illustrate it more correctly, than this read.
The part where the narrator describes his life before finding her, lacking color, joy, and purpose, the eventual finding of Dashie which gives him renewed purpose, when she says those four words for the first time, up until the very end, where he must finally let his child go.
Honestly, how can you deal with that? I would just want to curl up into a ball and wait to die. I couldn't go on living with her company! I expect this is what all parents feel when their children go off into the world, or at least what they should feel.
Here is the link to the reading it listened to :
