Everypony strives for perfection, and the current de-Lis matriarch has it in abundance.

As an aristocrat, Fleur has everything anypony would ever want: money, stability and a wonderful family. Outside of basic court duties and mandatory meetings with other members of the nobility, her life is incredibly easy when viewed from the eyes of an outsider. Yet, as the time to renew her marriage vows draws closer, Fleur begins to feel existential disdain. A sense of dread fills her soul, and a melancholy settles over her-- not that anypony would know; after all, a vow-renewal is quite a stressful thing to plan.

She has never loved her husband, that much has always been clear. They both know why. At least they're friendly to each other. They have a child. Vows should be simple.

When Rarity comes to visit to help Fleur tailor her wedding dress, things come to a head as she realizes where her turmoil really lies.

my T story for Pride Month 2022! it's still Pride Month somewhere!

thanks to EileenSaysHi for prereading!

Once upon a time, Shining Armor approached an unoccupied Rarity with the possibility of trying out an RPG the kirin had sent to him for testing. In response, Rarity threw him out of his own castle. And Shining has no idea why.

It was a nice and peaceful day until Rarity decides to go on a rampage. She wants to FRY BRAINS!

Wait, what?

When Rainbow Dash interrupts Rarity's morning makeup routine, she learns a lesson about the importance of keeping up appearances.

Second-place finalist in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Trans Pride contest.

An entry into the Pride and Positivity event.

Rainbow Dash is used to doing dangerous things. Deadly stunts? That's just a normal workday. But illness is something worse. Something scarier. Something she can't control.

Unfinished.

Time to take a look at her bucket list. But when a mare has already mastered the skies, what more is their to reach for?
