In the days following Starlight Glimmer's recent reformation to the ways of friendship, Spike figured he'd see her around more often. However, he didn't expect her to start going out of her way to spend as much time with him as possible.

Determined to get to the bottom of it, Spike decides to figure out what might be going on in Starlight's head.

Alternate take on Season 5 premiere:

What if the Mane Six followed Starlight into the cave? What if they caught her instead of letting her get away? What if there was also a human living back in Ponyville who had trouble making friends?

This story is an "adopted" story of my friend TheHardie-Boy's story of "Caught and Punished", and that story was inspired by Slave Starlight written by titanictime2

The prologue and chapters 1-4 are from TheHardie-Boy's version, but with some minor edits. Chapter 5 and the chapters afterward are completely written by me. Despite the "Sad" tag, this isn't going to be a downer story and it will have a number of light-hearted moments. There will still be some sad moments, of course.

Special thanks to TheHardie-Boy for giving suggestions to the story and proofreading the prologue, chapters 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, and 32, and flutterJackdash for editing chapters 3 and 5.

Five years ago, Starlight left, leaving her old life and a brokenhearted Sunburst behind.

But after an unfortunate accident, she is back and placed into Sunburst's care in the Crystal Empire, who despite everything is ready to do whatever it takes to save her...or at least he thinks he is.

Because it was never a question about if they loved each other, not between the two of them, but it will be a matter of forgiveness—the hardest thing to ask of somepony.

The hardest thing that Sunburst will ever have to do.

_{A StarBurst romantic drama, with Sleeping Beauty themes thrown in for good measure. Rated Teen for mentions of sex, a make-out scene or two, ponies doing stupid things rather than talking about their feelings, and other things I can't think of at the moment.}

When Cozy Glow was defeated, Twilight had been notified of Starlight nearly being sent to another dimension because of her plan. Ever since then, she had began having nightmares of losing her friend. Starlight knows she’ll need to reassure Twilight that she won’t lose her.

One moment, Starlight Glimmer is celebrating an accomplishment beyond imagine. The next, she is drowning her sorrow in cider. But in this place, she encounters the Wonderbolt Soarin, who surprisingly understands how it feels to believe you're not good enough.

Starlight Glimmer is struggling to fit into Ponyville since most of the citizens are afraid of her due to her past. It takes an accidental meeting with Thunderlane to really turn her life around. But can it really be that easy?

Sex tag is for innuendo and implications, no actual intercourse occurs

This story was written for the May Pairings Contest 2022 but was also a nice opportunity to try something new.

Hope you enjoy!

Two and a half years ago, I left my home, family, and friends behind to fight for humanity to save them from Princess Celestia's madness. Despite the hardship, suffering, and loss I have never once waved in my conviction in doing the right thing to prevent the genocide of an entire race. However, I have been captured. Instead of killing me, they kept me prisoner because they need me to use my Element one last time in their hopes of saving Equestria from Humanity's upcoming invasion.

Too bad I have no plans to do that.

This is a NegotationsVerse AU that ask the question of what would happen if Fluttershy got captured by Equestria so they can use her Element as a means to save themselves from humanity?
