Princess Mi Amore Cadenza receives a lot of love letters every Hearts and Hooves Day. Most of them are harmless, maybe even a little silly. Most. Some precious few are too sincere, too earnest for that.
This can have unintended consequences in a kingdom powered by a love radiating artifact.

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw.
Watching someone's adorable crush be dismantled shouldn't be this heartwarming, but we got there. Also I want Cady and Armor marriage bantering for an entire fic if this is how you write them. It's cute!
A wonderful story as always. Although it would be interesting to see some of Sunburst's journey as he tries to help himself.
Very nice rewrite:
But then I liked the original, too!
Mike
They both
Also, once or twice you mention Starburst rather than Sunburst.
7945377 The banter! It's the best part of this fic.
Poor Sunburst.
Poor Starlight too, considering.
I too love me some of your Shining + Cadance.
I mean sure it's no SunLight...but this was cute enough I don't care!
This was a very good story, but I would have wished to have had a more heart wrenching situation where Cadence tries to convince to end the dream himself but Sunburst is in denial about the truth that what he is seeing is but a dream and that it what making the entire Empire forced to have nightmare because of his perfect dream is the cause of all of this. Still why I wander if they could have all have woken up when Sunburst had finished dreaming?
Also, didn't Cadence say that she was open to threesomes in the beginning ?
Very nice story and well done on handling the characters. Deep, emotional stuff with a surprising and grin inducing ending.
Fine job, Oroboro. One of the best fanfics I've read in quite some time.
Rainbow: Yeah, that's totally my job!
Twilight: In your dreams, Rainbow.
Cute and funny I liked it. Not to long and. Not to short good job.
This wasn't heartwarming or cute for me, Cadance came off as kind of a dick. Sunburst has this clearly heartbreaking and almost crippling unrequited love for Shining Armour, and yet instead of trying to talk him down better she and Shining Armour kind of kick him loose, it' not really fitting for someone who's both such a close friend, and also clearly in need in help from the Princess of Love, a job she therefore sucks at.
Don't get me wrong though, this was a great story, it just didn't zap me with warm fuzzy feelings, for me it shows how one-sided Cadance and Shining's relationship is and how little Cadance actually understands about love.
Very well written though.
Nice job.
Keep it up.
Nice story. Also, Monogatari represent my dude.

Now write it.
Now that that is out of the way, I gotta wonder, where exactly did this "Sunburst is Gay" trope start? I haven't watched the newer seasons and only have the gist of what's happened, so I don't know if there was anything there that set off a bunch of peoples gay-dars, but I've noticed a lot of stories where Sunburst here is into wieners. Why? Not saying it's bad, just wondering why it seems to be a fairly large consensus.

If I were to guess:
Reasonably interesting male character with a unique appearance, pleasant personality, and a not grating voice.
Add in the single status giving a precedent for, at the very least, not being completely straight, and there you have it. Some just like the idea and find it cute.
Every popular stallion in the show's gone through it, it seems. Though it's not exactly the majority consensus by far, there's plenty of stuff shipping him with Glimmer too. Even one or two exist with Sunset Shimmer, due to their similar appearances. If you want a show character who's almost completely presented as gay, look at Double Diamond

Guess it's just the few I've seen then, though before now, this was actually the first story I read that Starburst was a main character in. I don't actively search out stories with Starburst since I don't know the character nor am I particularly interested in the newer seasons so all I've seen is random while browsing. Maybe it's that one clop I remember seeing in the feature box where Glimmer had to apparently turn herself into a colt with magic to get Starburst interested that is coloring my perception of the character.
I do love a good mindscape battle. I'm just sorry that I missed this particular Writeoff. Great stuff all around, with an excellent balance of drama, action, and comedy. Thank you for this.
During the fight, I was half expecting Sunburst to say, "I am a Shadow, the True Self!"
That was sweet...ish?
And here I was expecting The Nightmare itself to send her a letter asking for advice of some kind about love.
The entry in the writeoff was already good but here, it's just better.
Great job.

Braeburn also almost always swings that way. After all, everypony's gay for Braeburn; even the mares are gay for Braeburn.

There's also often a Pair the Spares tendency in play. If you ship all the females among themselves, what do you do with the males? Ship them with one another, of course!
I've seen shipping charts covering three generations, without any straight pairing at all. Up to and including having Shining Armor divorce Cadance so he can be with Flash Sentry.
7948717 interesting concept....
Sweet story, but it ends with Sunburst having his heart breaking, being humiliated, resigning from his job and leaving his home. I think this needs a sad tag.
I don't like Flash Sentry, but I think he (or another guard) would make a great coltfriend for Sunburst. It would have been interesting for it to end with another stallion confessing his feelings to Sunburst after having that dream about Sunburst's love of Shining Armor. Maybe get the other guard thinking that maybe, just maybe, he could have a chance with Sunburst too. Otherwise, this is super sad. I hope Cadance finds Sunburst a stallion to love, enough that he can return to the Empire. He has to help raise Flurry, after all. No one else knows all that he knows about the Heart and stuff, since he's read so much.
Loved the concept. The delivery, and the overall story. I do tend to ship Sunburst and Starlight, but I'm certainly open enough to see this as a possibility. Nicely done.
I'm appalled that you didn't turn the stage sequence into a full-blown puppet show, complete with Sunburst doing cartoony impressions of the different character voices, and for that reason, I must give this story a shameful score of 8/10.
A strong improvement over the Writeoff draft that handles the core characters in a far more satisfactory manner, and doesn't have Cadance address Sunburst as "Homo Parade." That just felt tonally wrong.
Nice story, dont really feel the character of cadence here but eh, overall really nice.

That the rest of the populace being trapped in a nightmare caused by someone madly in love with Shining Armor may have had some unintended side effects.
Wow a gay angsty sunburst fic! I know an author who loves this character...
can't wait for the cloppy Eqg flash sentry fic! if you still plan on writing that one?

.... Ahem... cough cough.
I promise it wasn't me, I only followed the trend.
Stupid overcompensating ancient artifacts passing themselves off as mandates of heaven, airing a guy's private feelings across the whole damned country. It ought to be a civil servant could go to work without his personal affairs being broadcast to all and sundry, but noooo, some good-for-nothing wizard many millenia dead decided important national infrastructure ought to run on the power of love. By golly if anyone asked my opinion we'd throw it all into the sun and replace it with good honest civil engineering!
