Compliments like that are author-fuel.

Now I'm regretting not posting my compliments to Alicorn immediately after reading the post. Incidentally, your recent fanfic about the girl whose friends have good reason to fear she will destroy the world was fantastic: the ending was a perfectly constructed Crowning Moment of Awesome, and you stopped it in exactly the right place (at least for someone who isn't familiar with or attached to the characters, like me).

Was that a spoiler? If so, please ROT13.

That's actually a tricky question -- it's maybe a minor spoiler if you're not familiar with the source material (as I wasn't), but those familiar with the source material know that it's one of three perspectives on the subject. Anyway, instead of ROT13, I've just obscured it a bit such that nothing at all should be spoiled by my current phrasing.

Title/link?

I lost the link, but I found it again: Trust in God, or, The Riddle of Kyon.
