Flash Magnus has always strove to be an example of bravery ever since being designated as a pillar of one. There hasn't been a challenge yet that he has been unable to conquer.

But now the pegasus faces a test like no other. He must confront and confess his feelings of love towards a fellow pillar, in this case to his fellow pegasus Somnambula.

As he works up the nerve to tell the pillar of hope how he feels, Flash is unaware that Somnambula has a confession of her own to make. And it's one that might just upend everything he plans to do.

(Has a Spanish translation that can be seen here.)

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

After an accident robs them of their parents, Rarity writes Sweetie Belle a letter laying bare a secret kept all the little unicorn's life.

"It's fascinating the level of depth this story takes. Just the part alone about why Rarity represents generosity is enough to bring tears to even the toughest critics. This is an amazing story in every way. Mature in some of its themes and true to life, yet not graphic or exploitive, 'Dear Sweetie Belle' is a must for My Little Pony fans who need a great, sad story to tide them over."
