Rarity, however, did.
If Cadance is willing to listen, she's willing to share.
Written as part of The Incredible Amazeballs Jinglemas Secret Santa Compilation. Go read everything else there, even if you don't like this story. Seriously, it's got people like shortskirtsandexplosions and KitsuneRisu in it: it's high-quality stuff.

This is really very well done. Why so little attention?
I really like the whole concept of Cadance and Rarity having a conversation on a palace balcony, the snow softly falling and the clouds subtly dimming the scene below. This was an engaging, wistful little read. I enjoyed it. Thank you kindly for sharing.
I do love me some Raridance friendshipping, and you've done well with it here.
