The story of why Trixie Lulamoon travels the land of Equestria. This story is written for the flashfic event set up by Noble Cause, with the following prompt:
"Fireworks and the open road. Sun, rain, sleet and hail. Through it all, Trixie travels. It's up to you to figure out why she travels, and the reason she performs. A friend she left behind? Wanting to show up Twilight? Something else? It's down to you."
Loved it. The idea is unique and you really captured Trixie's personality! Bravo to you sir/madam.
Ooh, so Chrysalis is pretty much Fagin in this version of events? Interesting take.
Damn that was good
There's an old saying about how there is nothing more dangerous than someone who has nothing to lose.
And this is why Luna is the best Princess. She looks after the outcasts when no one else cares. Including her damn sister.
Any how, I like how you showed Trixie and the life she had.
Not bad. I love how you pulled different parts of canon together for this.
Damn, that was a bit darker than I thought it'd be. I hope Trixie eventually goes with Luna.
Wow. Just...wow. I hope Trixie finds her purpose in life.
I doubt it, but any chance of a sequel?
Oh, Trixie. The day you learn Twilight's secret... you will also learn that you won't have to defeat her. Godspeed.
And she matches Luna very well, I think. They have many similarities and would identify well with each other. I hope we get to see more of both in the fourth season.
There's yet to be a Trixie fic from you that I don't like. You are Trixie Writing Deity, and people should start calling you that (unless they come with a better name).
I love this story, I love how you portray Trixie, I love how you make Chrysalis the villain but not the bad guy, and I love how you wrote Luna.
You are the best Trixie writer ever.
"Very good. It is good to have goals." how lighthearted after all this brooding sadness!
I enjoy the integration of canon events with lore and explanations. the reuse of the opening scene is very powerful and rather well-done - it's not just a means to an end (or even at the end for once). Trixie's mindset was clear and reasonable for the whole piece and that's an accomplishment. the small amount of dialogue with the princess is beautiful and you wrote her very much in character too! (I've noticed a lot of people have a hard time getting a grip on consistently speaking like in her voice).
very good read! the open endedness is refreshing
