This story is a sequel to Sour Sweet Reality

(My first featured story! - 3/22/16)

Sunburst has a massive crush on Starlight that he's had since he was a foal. Trixie is aware of it and pushing him to confess while teasing him every step of the way. Meanwhile, Double Diamond comes to Ponyville to visit Starlight and Maud wonders about his intentions.

Title comes from the song of the same name from "Jem and the Holograms".

Double Diamond is convinced he and Starlight had a thing going on, unbeknownst to everyone else while she led their town. He can’t rationalize why she chose Sunburst and forgot all about the bond they had shared. He tries to move on but his feelings keep making him miserable the more he tries to secretly hide and kill them for the sake of the couple.

Title based off the episode “Uncommon Bond”.

They've forgiven Starlight Glimmer for her past. Despite everything that she had done, they forgave her. It is something wonderful, the power of forgiveness.

It is a shame she can't forgive herself.

Twilight Sparkle never seemed to notice Lyra Heartstrings. She didn't even remember Lyra's name.

They were friends back in Canterlot and even went to school together. Yet Twilight didn't notice that Lyra just happened to move to Ponyville the same day she did. She didn't even notice when Lyra appeared at her welcoming party. Nor did she ever seem to spot her old classmate passing by in the background on any other day during her stay in Ponyville. Some days she could look right at Lyra and never realize that they knew each other.

Lyra isn't a very noticeable pony. She has put a lot of effort into that.

Set in late season 5, after Amending Fences.
Note: Lots of spoilers in the comments.

This story is a sequel to Dear Sweetie Belle

Everypony has to grow up sometime. Now a teenager, Sweetie Belle ventures to the Fillydelphia Academy of Music in order to start the search for her biological father. Will she find the stallion she's searching for, or is she doomed to disappointment?

All Sweetie Belle wanted was one pony to show up to her audition. Just one. And what with everypony else so busy, she was thrilled to know that Rarity would be there for her...

...but she didn't show. It was an empty theater.

As Spinel watched Steven and his friends celebrate, she realized that she had done too much to them and everyone on this world to be their friend, and ran off to the warp pad. But even after she set foot on a new world she realized that no one would be friends with the person she was now... it's a good thing she had another Rejuvenator.

Pinkie is in for a big surprise and a new best friend this birthday.
