Ever since she was a filly, Princess Cadance was obsessed with love.

She didn't realize how that sounded to everyone around her.

Come to think of it, maybe she ought to tell people how to spell her name(s), too.

This story takes place within the Reverie Equestria canon. However, that setting is so similar that most people won't notice the difference at once and so I haven't tagged Alternate Universe. Differences and RevEq-unique concepts will be pointed out in the story as they come up.

Princess Ember, daughter of Dragon Lord Torch, would never admit her feelings to anyone.

She's not hurt that her father would rather scour the whole Dragon Lands, and find a stranger's child to become the Dragon Lord, than raise his own daughter. No way. Maybe a bit mad.

Dragons don't do heartbroken.

The core events of this story are arguably compatible with the TV series canon, but a buttload of implications made in the third chapter are only compatible with Reverie Equestria.
