This is a MLP fan-novel I've been working on for over a year and a half. It's been in pre-production for the better part of a year and I am finally happy enough with the story to start the writing process. The story is considered "Grimdark" and "Sad" according to the fandom's jargon, but it's also going to have it's fair share of happy, suspenseful, heartwarming, and bittersweet moments; so the genre tags shouldn't be what turns you away from the story. Please, enjoy! Note: I will bump this thread when I have updates to announce, whether they are new chapters, revisions, or ect. Please leave any comments/praise/criticisms in the comments below or on the respective DA links. [Grimdark][Sad] Description: All plant seeds kind of look similar. They share many traits. You put them in the soil, water them, and provide sunlight. They grow, but they don't always grow up to be the same. It could just as well be when the seeds have sprouted, grown up to six feet high, is when you realize that they're completely different and share not even a single trait.

I like how you portrayed Rarity in this - it's nice to read a story that's started off well. Assuming you can keep up a good quality of writing, I'll gladly stick around for the rest. Just going to point out a small spelling error for you, by the way. 2nd line of Sweetie Belle's speech says 'What is is' Should be 'What is it' I guess. Apart from that - 8/10 so far, I'm a fan of grimdark fics for some reason, and I'm excited to see where this could go! Good work /)
