This story is a sequel to Silent Ponyville

In an attempt to make her feelings known, Fluttershy begins to persue the target of her delicate heart's affection.

(Takes place 1 month after Silent Ponyville, but is not required reading material)

Luna has never thought she really deserved her subjects' or her sister's forgiveness. Often, she questioned it, though she kept these thoughts to herself. When the pain of her past and her guilt continually eat away at her, she feels she deserves the pain, but she can only live with it for so long. Luna doesn't believe she should be in Equestria, let alone remain a princess. However, somepony else thinks very differently. If only Luna could see what she sees.

Rainbow Dash needs to hear the roar.

In time, all of Twilight Sparkle's friends have had to say their last goodbyes. And as the last of the original Cutie Mark Crusaders passes on, the Princess decides to send her off in grand fashion.

But after the party, the tears, and her newer friends have moved on, and Twilight is all alone once again, somecreature she once thought of as a friend decides to visit her for tea.

Memorial, or Desecration? Twilight might just have to decide tonight, on the loneliest night of her life...

Trixie's line of work is dangerous. But she's a careful showpony, and that's why she's only died a few dozen times in her career.

She thinks this is normal.

If you’re reading this it’s because I ain’t around to keep it hidden. I’m sorry you found this, I’m sorry for a whole heap of things. I’m sorry I didn’t get my cutie mark a year ago with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. I’m sorry I still ain’t gotten it. I’m sorry I’ve been underhoof. I’m sorry I’ve been so contrary. Mostly I’m just sorry for being me. I tried to be good and fit in with everypony else, I even tried to be patient but I guess y’all didn’t see much of that.
I can’t do it anymore. Whatever patience I did have has been used up and I’m just so damn fed up with being a worthless blank flank. Don’t y’all be crying over me I ain’t worth it, never was.

Big thanks to everyone who helped out!

Button mash's father died two years ago. He still hasn't recoverd. His grades have been slipping, he's lost interest in his games, and the already shy stallion has become extremely reserved.
His mother is too busy trying to support them to notice anything but his grades, and so she is missing the true danger.
There is only one pony who can save him now. Rated Teen for a foul mouthed Spoiled Rich in the fourth chapter.

Ever since Twilight blew back into Canterlot and insisted on becoming friends again, Moondancer’s life has been...better. Still not great, years of isolation can’t exactly be overturned overnight, but she is going outside more often at least.

One thing that is slow going, though, is getting her hygiene back under control. She had been doing the bare minimum for her mane and fur and unfortunately it was finally catching up to her…

That doesn’t mean she’s happy about getting a pity coupon. Moondancer is just going so she doesn't waste a gift. She doesn't really want to go. Honest.

CW - Heavy depression themes, self harm/self harm scars, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Passion for Fashion contest with the prompt ‘faux pas’ and presented here with much expansion (this entry is over 5k words more than my original contest entry lol). Thanks to everyone who read and commented and helped me edit afterwards - you guys are amazing!

Cover art by me! (If you are an author looking for cover art, send me a dm!)

A suicide right by the school of friendship.
Why would someone do that when there was help so close?
Twilight can't let this go as just a tragic incident. There has to be a reason.
*UPDATED*
I just added some detail and fixed a couple small problems. The story itself is unchanged.

Scootaloo has a question for Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash wishes she had a good answer for her.
