YMMV / Of Mares and Magic

• Jerkass Woobie: Dear Celestia, Trixie had a hard life. Of course by the end of the story she loses/drops the Jerkass part.
• Narm: Some of the more emotional points in the story will be interrupted by a simple spelling mistake, or the author will leave out a crucial word in the sentence. While not moment killing, it can get a little jarring at times.
• Squick: The ultimate fate of Trixie's mother. Her horn develops the unicorn equivalent of a necrotizing disease, causing her a quick but painful death.
• Tear Jerker: Many. Most notably when Twilight thinks Trixie is dead, Trixie finds out how her father died, and ends up crying herself to sleep and Twilight and Trixie seem to pull an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy on each other.
