This story is a sequel to Shining Armor Follows His Muse

Shining Armor is a very happy stallion. Why shouldn't he be happy? He has a good job, good friends, and just a good life overall. Sure, it would be nice if Cadance saw him as more than just a friend, but that's a pipe dream. At least things are going well with his RPG group—especially now that they've been joined by a lovely fey mare named Musette.

Even better, Musette and Cadance are on the road to becoming best friends with each other. And really, why wouldn't they get along? It's not like either one of them could ever be interested in Shining, or would have any reason to not like each other.

Yup, everything is going to be just fine.

This story is a sequel to The Price of Being the Hero

After Shinng Armor saved her life from a special needs colt whom she bullied to the edge, she now has to reflect on her actions durning her indefinite grounding. No longer able to do as she pleased, as well as now being stuck babysitting her hero’s baby sister while he serves detention, will her time allow her to reflect on what a selfish bitch she has been? And what it actually means to be a princess? And why can’t she stop thinking about Shinng Armor? No mater how much she makes it up to him?

This story dose take its own liberties, as the original story was written before I had read the comics.
