My Little Dashie ultimately succeeds because it focuses on the growing relationship between two characters, and is ultimately a Father/Daughter story. Over the years, they both grow, and the bits of their life we hear about are enough to make us fond of them. Therefore, the inevitable is truly heartbreaking. The perfect length, and the single best use of a human in Pony fanfiction. Fics like this are the reason this fandom thrives.
