Quantum Castaways probably also belongs in the "Duality" folder of this group, but is primarily included because of the massive amounts of character depth and potential for character analysis. Additionally, the story provides a heavy dose of world-building such that quite a bit of the physical setting can be explored and discussed on its own right.

Compare/contrast Twilight's interactions with Marshall with Twilight's exploits in the first season of the show. QC provides a brand new setting for the somewhat more matured Twilight to explore friendship in a way that is both organic and artificial much like here friendships forged in canon. She genuinely can be social, but would not otherwise seek out social interaction without outside stimuli.
