The Blessed

Review in No. 39600426
Here's another mystery one. This fic features a tried and true combo of Pinkie Pie and mounting insanity. Twilight is trying to figure out why Pinkie has suddenly become paranoid and refuses to sleep, and that's all I'll say to avoid spoilers. It's not grimdark, even if Pinkie goes through some detailed mental suffering.
There are 21 chapters, but the fic is a short one, and the chapters are actually more like scenes. It's a really cool attempt at making a story feel like a thriller film, and it helps build tension and keep the reader on edge. It almost feels like a countdown to tragedy.
My only complaint is that the ending of the story is perhaps too abrupt: the fic just stops as soon as the plot resolves, no final thoughts or epilogues. Still, it's a fun little ride with some genuine thrills.
