Twilight falls for a mare that nopony expects, Rarity. The question was, how was she going to tell her, and what if '...She rejected me, or worse, even laughed at me for thinking something that seems near impossible to happen when thought about!?!?....'

Twilight finds out that Rarity was nervous about asking her out.

Surprisingly, this is quite upsetting information.

Getting rejected by Sunset seems like a pretty good reason for Twilight to hole herself up in her room for three days. But when Rarity comes asking for help to develop a website for Carousel Boutique, Twilight can't ignore a friend.

Both of them may find they have something to learn about rejection, how to deal with it, and if a friendship really can become something more intimate.

Twilight has learned that ponies can change a lot in only a year or two.

And she's okay with that. Maybe.

Twilight asks Rarity an important question: Will she stay the night?

Her answer is almost always the same. Maybe that's why Twilight keeps asking.

Inspired by the song "No Se Va" by the Colombian band Morat.

Twilight insists she's not the one destroying the world. Rarity knows she's lying, but she has a dress to finish.

Princess Rarity had everything planned for her beloved bodyguard's birthday. It would start with a lovely trip to Trottingham, continue into an entire day in Equestria's oldest library, and culminate into a wonderfully romantic moment in the Ethereal Gardens. It would be Twilight's best birthday yet!

...If only things actually went according to plan.

With the defeat of the shadowkin horde, the Diamond City of Canterlot rejoices under the soft touch of winter. With celebrations abound, Astra Princess Twilight Sparkle plans to make the most of it with the deer who stole her heart.

But, just as winter brings celebrations, so does it bring winds as frosty as the realization that the young Princess still does not have a name to define her relationship with Rarity and, more than that, a relationship she might be afraid to fully define.

Assuming Rarity stops flirting with her long enough to let her define it.

Coming out with the news of their relationship to their parents and friends had been easy; now there was only one pony left to tell, and the little filly was not planning on making the process easy for the Princess of Friendship.

Returning from a diplomatic summit, Princess Rarity's party is attacked by bandits. Upon returning home, she demands why her bodyguard Twilight had seen fit to shove her into the river during the fight.
