It doesn't matter what a gift is. It's all in the presentation.

A "non-entry" for https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1038499/dialogue-only-contest

I am not competing. Do not judge me. Or do, but not the story at least. Anyways, if you want to enter and actually compete, the rules are there and there's 175$ across three prizes (100, 50, 25) to be won. Good luck!

For every villain was somepony's hero ...

My entrance in the Dialogue Only Contest.

Technically a prequel to my other fic, The Twilight Prince: Redux, and uses common worldbuilding, but should be readable as a stand alone one-shot.
