you as well. >For the longest time you'd thought that no one could love or even like you, eldritch freak that you are. >None of the ponies in town had ever shown gratitude or kindness towards you when you helped them. >Perhaps it was instinctual. >Maybe they could feel just how innately wrong you were, a black stain on the pristine fabric of space and time. >It wasn't your fault. >Your soul was forcibly seized by the Old Ones, and subjected to unspeakably horrific experimentation. >You were granted a physical form again, gifted with the unholy powers of the formless abominations that drifted through the Ether. >So you drifted as well, neither living nor dying. >After eons without contact, you ended up here: a single future stemming from a past with limitless possibilities. >Ponyville. >The reception was frosty at best and outright hostile at worst. >The local princess was immediately disgusted with your presence, and she spent the whole introductory meeting looking as though she were about to vomit. >She never tried to speak with you again. >Her friends weren't much better about expressing their feelings towards you. >Rainbow Dash was outright hurtful, swooping down from the sky hurling insults and rotten food in your general direction. >Fluttershy refused to even make contact with you, locking herself away in her cottage and hiding behind her hair when you approached her in the market. >Rarity made a sign that she hung outside her boutique, reading "No Two-Legs Allowed!" >It was a very fashionable sign, but the sentiment burned deeply. >Applejack scowled at you when you attempted to see her, sometimes refusing to acknowledge your presence, other times running you off her land with her brother in tow. >Only the pink one didn't seem to mind you.   >She had been very openly happy to have you in the little village, had given you the first food you'd had in ages, and had thrown you a "Welcome to Ponyville!" party that no one else attended. >Her efforts gave you hope amidst a tide of never-ending despair. >The hatred the rest of the village so clearly expressed towards you had driven you to the brink of self-destruction. >The constant shaming and looks of disgust day after day wore on your soul. >Twice, you had given in to your desire to be free from your torment, and twice you had failed. >The first time, your body simply grew a new heart when you stabbed the old one. >When you felt the beating in your chest restart, liquid black sorrow rolled down your cheeks. >The second attempt was just a few hours ago. >Pinkie hadn't stopped by for your weekly get-together, and this had been a particularly bad week. >You were under a lot of stress, having dealt with Rarity and Rainbow in public two days ago, and bumping into Applejack in the marketplace just this morning. >The whole town had seemingly redoubled it's efforts to make you leave, calling you a "disgusting ape" and a "filthy abomination." >Fruit and spit flew as you walked by. >And finally, Pinkie failed to show up on time for your little get-together. >So the darkness closed in, tendrils wrapped around your heart, and whispered in your ear. >"No one wants you, just leave." >"This world does not need a disgusting freak like you." >"Kill yourself, they would celebrate if you finally left." >The nails were sitting in your closet. >A bit oversized, about twelve inches long, but they were perfect for what you were about to do. >They were right, you deserved to suffer, deserved to die in the most painful way possible. >No one watched as you rammed the nails through your feet. >No one heard your gurgling screams as you punctured your own lungs. >No one smelled the copper that flowed from your eyes and ran down your chin, or tasted the grey fluids that came dribbling out shortly after. >You lost consciousness within minutes. >However...   >She was merely running late. >A quick glance at the clock in the middle of a busy shift reminded her of her promise to you. >So she rushed out of the local bakery, mane flying behind her as apologies formed on her lips. >You had left the door unlocked, just in case anyone was curious. >She had found you, slumped over on the floor, nails driven through every square inch of flesh as an unnecessary attempt at penance. >Frozen in terror and consumed with guilt, she did nothing but sit down across from you and stare. >When the first nail forced itself from your foot with a clatter, she shot up in search of the noise. >For the next half hour, she sat and watched as the metal was pushed out of your body onto the floor. >The sight of your body repairing itself would be one she'd remember for the rest of her life. >When you started breathing again she put her head on your chest and bawled her eyes out. >You regained consciousness some time later to find a pink mess splayed out across your torso, sobbing quietly in terror and relief. >When you lifted your hand and ran it slowly through her soft mane, her face was filled with awe and joy. >Her eyes glistened and her lips quivered with a single question. >"Why?" >You felt a stirring in your chest. >A blossoming warmth spread across your torso from your heart. >It was delightful. "Pinkie, I'm sorry. I thought that you'd..." >Her eyes are bloodshot. >"Abandoned you?" "Yeah." >"Anon, you big dummy!" >She lept forward and hugged you around your chest with all her might. >"I thought I was gonna lose you forever!" >Your hands found their way to her mane, toying with it. >Her eyes were so captivating, and she smelled amazing. >Like somepony you could be with forever. >Everything she'd done for you came rushing back. >Every late night cupcake baking session, every friendly voyage to the edge of the Everfree. >She gave you her heart, and you had almost permanently crushed it. >So you gave her yours.   "Pinkie, I think I love you." >The shock is evident on her face. >"What, after all that you just say you love me?" "Of course. You mean so very much to me. If you weren't here I'd have left a long time ago." >Her forelegs wrap tightly around your shoulders and she rests her head next to your own. >Something wet falls onto your shirt. >"D-do you really love me, Anon?" >It's difficult, but you manage to lay your arms across each other on her back. "Yes Pinkie, I really really love you. But can you move your mane out of my face?" >Confused, she sits up and looks down at you. >She opens her mouth to object, but the huge grin on your face and the viscous black streaks coating your cheeks convince her to close it. >You prop yourself up with both arms and bring your lips to her muzzle. "I love you, Pinkie Pie. Thank you."
