Our job is not to give readers what they want; our job is to show them things they never imagined. --Walt Williams
It's been fifty years since Rainbow Dash first performed the rainboom, and she's slowly slipping over the hill. She's slowing down, sliding off her game. As the younger generation steps up, breaks her records, and makes rainbooms of their own, she contemplates her history in the world of speedsters and her importance to it.

pretty good, sounds like Rainbow herself writing the story. definitely worth the read.
Perfect. That's how you do poignancy.
Little read that definitely got me thinking about life and other stuff. Good job.
Aren't you not allowed to put any higher than a 10 in a competition if you're a judge?
7340819 I was thinking that Dash wasn't a judge, but a spectator grading them in her head.
Awe ^^
Nice!!
A very beautifully sad story. Rainbow seems like the foil to Wind Ryder here. She's accepting that she's aging and knows she can't do anything about it and so just lets the new blood show what they can do.
Fucking good
I'm with the group here.
Very good read, well done!
Wow. Rainbow is humble. I'm satisfied.
(And very happy you didn't make her an egotistical old timer equivalent to a mare version of Wind Rider.) 
Amazing! It needs more views.
Okay, I haven't actually read the story yet, but for some reason, the title and descriptions bring this song to mind:
I heard Rainbow Dash's voice in my head through the whole story. This really fits with how I would envision her as she ages. Very nicely done.
I enjoyed this, was (relatively) short, and felt very believable in terms of Rainbow's overall character.
This story is so sweet, I might even call it heart warming.
A symbol of acceptance and peace.
Well done!
7346132 that's a lovely song, it's one of those songs that are really able to tell a story.
Thanks for sharing!

I have reviewed this HERE.
And I've reviewed it too! Short version: I like "Dash being thoughtful" fics, and this has a nicely bittersweet feel to it. Also, "Bannistrot". You get an upvote for that alone!
This is a great story. A Rainbow that is humbled in some ways over the years and reflecting on the legacy she left behind
No matter what age Rainbow is, she is still the greatest.
Okay, that was a mix of happy and sad but very emotional. Well done.
