When Starlight Glimmer feels left out as everypony else spends time with their little sisters, she seeks someone of her own to bond with: Diamond Tiara. And apparently, they share a lot more in common than either of them had ever realized.

Dark, grey clouds settle over a treeless plain. Icy rain soaks your mane. Old castle ruins, infested with changelings, loom over the town. This is the village of Trottingham.

But in Roseluck’s garden, lies a beacon of hope in this desolate land.

In her garden grows a lone rose bush.

This story is set in an AU similar to 19th century England. Think Sherlock Holmes.

Celebrating the day after being elected mayor of Ponyville, Diamond Tiara is slightly taken aback by a request a depressed Apple Bloom asks of her. A set in the future kinda fic.

Spoiled Rich has just been elected head of the Ponyville school board. With this new job, she's moving back to Ponyville full time, creating a situation where the hired help is too busy with the move to adequately serve her daughter, Diamond Tiara.

Enter Spike, number one assistant to a Princess and hero of the Crystal Empire. He can handle a pushy little entitled filly like her, right? Right??

This story is a pseudo-prequel to Crusaders of the Lost Mark. It sheds some light on why Diamond Tiara had a change of heart, which in my opinion, was way too abrupt in the episode. This story takes place around the time of Princess Spike, even though it bears nothing in common with that episode's premise, other than featuring Spike.

Spoiled Rich keeps her family under an iron hoof. Filthy Rich has learned to work with her, but Diamond Tiara has a much more difficult time with the manners and behavior expected of her, as she's just a filly. She knows the rules, and she abides by them as much as she can, but she doesn't like them.
Sometimes she needs a reminder why they behave in such a way in their house.
In our house, we are the best.

Filthy and Spoiled Rich have marital problems. They can't agree how to raise their daughter, and their marriage lacks the connection and partnership it once had.

And to make matters worse, they have been sent by a chaos god to the world of Everglow. A world full of magic and adventure, but also one that is much more dangerous than Equestria.

Fortunately, where there is opportunity, a clever couple can seize upon it, hoping to discover a way home from the relative safety of shop ownership, instead of taking up arms and throwing themselves into danger.

But for many, the adventuring life chooses them, instead of them choosing the adventuring life. And it can be a bit pushy.

Diamond Tiara was having a good morning. Then her mother dropped dead. Then things got weird.

Story notes

Cuprolaminophobia: The fear of coins.

Diamond tiara was a rich, greedy foal. She thought that her daddy's allowance for her wasn't enough...so she decided to help herself to more. She always thought that the safe behind her dad's desk contained some of the millions he had. Filthy Rich always told Diamond Tiara to stay away from that safe. She just assumed that it was so she wouldn't help herself to his personal funds.

This is the story of why she now has Cuprolaminophobia...

PS: This story takes place before Diamond Tiara is reformed.

This story is a sequel to A Diamond's Glow

You know Cozy Glow. Irredeemable villainess, insane filly, terrible hair. If all those things are true though, why has a certain reformed tiaraed bully suddenly made it her life's mission to help the petrified pest?

Or even, will Twilight let her try?

Well, there's no harm in asking... right?

You don't have to read the previous one-shot to enjoy this fic, but it might provide some additional context for the story.

Applejack had always been a helper. If her little sister was struggling with her homework, she would stay up late to help her finish it. If her older brother needed help with the chores, she would happily jump in, taking on more than her fair share of the work. And if she happened to come across a girl and her mother stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, you can bet your boots she would help them too. Unfortunately, this particular girl has bigger problems in her life than a mere flat, problems that can't be solved with just a few twists of a wrench.
