• Coming in From the Cold by Timaeus
This is just aww. A very waff-y LyraBon origin story, liked it a lot.

• A Perfectionist's Romance by Timaeus
Also aww. I'm not big on shipping these days but LyraBon things still melt my heart.

• Luck of the Lyrish by Timeaus
Another nice and funny LyraBon read, cw bad puns, lots of bad puns hah haa.

• Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies by JaketheGinger
A story that answers the question what if Lyra and Bon Bon took longer to truly reconcile than what was shown in the episode. Feels.

• Something Like Feeling by shortskirtsandexplosions
I completely forgot how neighilistic Bon Bon was in this one. And how wonderful Lyra was here. And that this was an allegory on Skirts' and Ponky's friendship. Good story. It's sad that Skirts has left for good.

• Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon by shortskirtsandexplosions
A sad and surreal read. And the ending after all these years and re-reads still packs quite a gut punch. Welp.

• The Nightmare Sonata by adcoon
A nice and fluffy fic about Lyra trying to find inspiration in nightmares. The ending is sweet and I loved how the actual nightmare was both accepted as normal by Lyra and taught her something.

• Music is the BEST! by Impossible Numbers
Lyra is the BEST! Sigh. Wish I were as obsessed with playing music as this Lyra is. But oh well. A nice story even though I haven't read the rest of Numbers' Canterlot Six fics.
