WARNING: THIS STORY IS DANGEROUSLY SUGARCOATED. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Anthea is blind. Turquoise Blitz is half-dragon, half-pony. Naturally, the two are drawn to each other, though the fact that their mothers are also best friends may have played a helping hoof as well. With most of their lives spent together, either with the rest of their group of friends or on their own, it makes sense that they would fall in love. With Turquoise's quiet personality and Anthea's unfortunate condition, it makes even more sense that nothing would happen for a long time, despite practically everypony in town believing them to already be a couple.

Then, one long time later, the two decided to stay out late and go stargazing.

Anthea has seen the world as blobs of color for her entire life. Somepony offers her the chance of a lifetime, true sight. What is the price of this gift, and will the pain of losing the sight be worth the temporary delight in having it?

Characters are based on the OCs designed by the incredible Kilala97, who also made the awesome cover art! Identification of OCs can be found: here and here.

Turquoise "T" Blitz, the son of Rarity and Spike, and Anthea "Annie", Fluttershy's adopted daughter, have been friends for a long time. Now, they're getting married, but Nidra, the Princess of Slumber, has had a crush on T for quite awhile as well, and she's not taking this lying down. Instead, she forces everypony else to take it lying down by casting a powerful sleep spell right before the couple takes their vows. Her mother is forced to intervene, but can Princess Luna teach her daughter what love is really about?

When Starburst heads on over to Sweet Apple Acres to help Golden Delicious with the chores for the day, as expected, she overworks herself like she normally does and she ends up falling asleep on the job.

kilala97 is seriously my favorite artist in this fandom, it was about time I wrote something for her magnificent characters!

This story is a sequel to In Her Shadow

It is amazing how time can change some ponies. Once, the very prospect of flying terrified Prism Bolt. Now, he soars through the sky, lording his skill over any pony he can. It's all in good fun, he doesn't mean anything by it.

Right?

When practicing for Tornado Day, a single poorly timed slip-up destroys any respect the citizens of Ponyville had for him. To earn it back is going to require hard work, something the pegasus has always dodged.

Perhaps all he needed was the right motivation.
