Starlight Glimmer is many things. Master of the arcane arts, Headmare of the School of Friendship, Savior of Equestria, and a truly fantastic friend to those she holds dear. Apparently, according to Trixie and Sunburst, she's also an awesome marefriend. There is, of course, one big problem with that theory: How can you be an awesome marefriend if you don't even know you're dating your best friends in the first place? Starlight may or may not need to add "Romantically Inept Doofus" to her list of titles.
Edit: Hung on the Featured box from February 10th to the 13th! Y'all are amazing!

You know it! I didn't always ship it, but now that I do, it's totally gonna be a staple ship of mine.
How interesting!!
I like this!!
11502983
Thank you! I am always happy to hear that people are enjoying my stories!
Two things. How are you maintaining a relationship with two people. If I read that AN correctly, that’s impressive. And I’m flabbergasted.
Two: good story. I very much so enjoyed.
11503054
Well I suppose it's a matter of mutual love, respect, and trust between the three of us. We all started off as just friends, but over time we grew fond of each other and bonded deeply via shared interests. We are however, still very different people, and I think that helps the relationship a lot. The more we learn about each other, the better we understand new perspectives and help each other grow into better people. We love each other enough to stick together in both good and bad times, respect each other enough to enjoy our own time alone when we need it, and trust each other enough to always be able to fall back on each other when we can't stand on our own. I was dating my boyfriend long before my girlfriend showed up, but I think her inclusion has made the relationship much, much stronger overall. He and I used to have the occasional spat, but since she joined us just over a year ago, we've been more harmonious than ever thanks to her fresh ideas and perspectives. I can confidently say I will spend the rest of my life with them.
That said, I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I very much enjoyed writing it.
Are Sunburst and Trixie also dating? This story was beyond adorable!
11503068
That’s great! I’m happy for you even though I don’t know you! (I can do that right? Human to human?) anyways I look forward to reading more of your content. Stay happy, and always be joyful in the lord. For you are beautifully and wonderfully made (you don’t have to believe in the lord Jesus Christ if you don’t. I’m not one of those Christian’s and i would cast myself to hell if I started shaming folks for just trying to live life happily. We may ALL be sinners, but God wants all of us to be happy. And I am a full believer in abundant love for all. As well as unconditional love.) you have a great day or night. And I’m glad I could talk to you some. God Bless You and your Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
11503073
Yes. It did say they fell for each other during their contest for Starlight I do believe.
11503073
Yep! They are all dating each other, and are all in love. Sorry if that wasn't clear, but I'm happy you enjoyed this!
11503092
Oops I accidentally skimmed past that part.
Part of me kinda wishes they never told her and just waited to see how long it will take for Starlight to figure things out.
11503307
I feel like after a year, it's no longer a matter of "When will she figure it out" and more a matter of "When will they slip up in front of her."
You know Starlight, sleeping together might not always be romantic, but it's definitely not platonic. :-p
11502888
Absolutely. Only trio closer to canon, as pointed out in the story, is the CMCs.
11503348
Starlight will never again trust her own judgement of what is and isn't "platonic" behavior, because clearly she doesn't even understand the concept of it.
11502915 Looking forward to reading whatever stories you write with these three from now on.
11503349 Oh, most definitely!
11503307
Maybe the marriage proposal.
Unless she thought it was for tax purposes.
Sounds like how I will eventually end up with someone, I just miss certain things. Love this cute fic. (hope you three are doing well in these...interesting times)
11503619
I'm sure you'll find someone you click with. If you want to find love, you will eventually. It just takes time is all. Thank you for your kind words, and I wish you well too.
Added to GlimTrixBurst, the group explicitly made for this OTT. :V
11503907
Oh, thank you! I'm not super familiar with the hundreds of groups active on this site, so I'm always happy to have my stories shared beyond my sightlines. If I make another story featuring these three, I'll definitely add it there too.
Wooo poly <3
I have a fiancé, a girlfriend, and a long distance partner, so I always love to read poly stories. This was insanely cute and you did awesome!
11504029
Well considering that my own poly relationship inspired this story, I'd certainly hope that I captured the vibe! I'm happy that you enjoyed it!
Ooh, nice! Startrixburst! Definitely one of my favorite MLP ships. I think at first I thought of it as Starlight x Trixie + Starlight x Sunburst, but I could totally see Trixie and Sunburst really getting along and liking each other too.
I mean, she's not wrong; being in a romantic relationship is another type or level of friendship.
they say that if you are doing it right you never realize it is happening.
A fun and cutie little story. Thanks for sharing it with us.
11504300
I'm dating two of my best friends, so yeah, it checks out. Can't imagine dating someone that I'm not friends with.
11504402
In that case, I suppose they were right: Starlight really is an awesome marefriend!
11504558
Of course! I'm always happy to share my silly stories with the public! Giving a little bit of fun and happiness to the world is always worth it.
11504604
Yeah I couldn't imagine that either. Before my girlfriend and I started dating, we were very close friends that met on Discord.
Funny, but I honestly hoped Starlight would have more ground to argue from. Kissing with tongue is pretty hard to argue against. Still, nice bit of fluff.
11505277
Eh, I whipped up this story in about half an hour for funsies. It was supposed to be silly and I didn't put too much thought into it, but if I write this ship again, I'll definitely put more time and effort into it. Still, I'm happy you enjoyed it regardless.
Wait we're dating?
Starlight, we've been married for 5 years
Hello there! Here's the review you requested. Rather cute and with pleasant characterisation. Skates on thin ice occasionally but broadly gets away with it. A good-natured fic with a nice ending, too.
11542490
Duly noted. Thank you.
11542496
You're very welcome.
Howdy, hi!
This was super cute. Definitely a warm and lighthearted read with a really pleasant homey feel. Definitely nailed the slice of life feel with this one and comedy was solid for hitting the really cute feel to the whole thing. Thanks for the read!
11544054
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Slice of Life Romcoms are my favourite to write, so I'm always happy to hear that I'm doing it justice!
I like how the story turned out. It's weird since all of them are the kind of ponies to get dramatic easily, but it's great that everything remains so light-hearted and sweet~
(also a shame that it can't take part in The polyship contest, but nice to have read this before the deadline. Made me appreciate such things more.)
I love a good Starburstrix scenario.
EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Mah Boi DualShock4 got a harem! LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Awww that was so sweet. Well written too. It made me realize how much I ship these three together
Hahaha, oh jeez. Poor Starlight. Or should I say lucky Starlight? n_n
The repeated mention of the pancakes cooling was a really nice touch to add to things.
