"tis amazing what just a bit of kindness can do. And now the timelines have been pitched out the window, but there's nothing wrong with an extra bit of agency.

This was such a sweet story.

I like Double Diamond as a character foil to Starlight Glimmer. Too bad people basically completely forgot about him within a few weeks of The Cutie Map episodes. This doesn't necessarily even have to be tagged AU since this could fit into canon still. Nothing physically shows Starlight won't slide off back into attempting to get revenge. So a nice little bit of friendshipping before GlimGlam runs away for the second time.

"I'm sorry, man. How did we not notice thongs were this bad before?" Party Favor asked.

Should probably edit that, as funny as that spelling mistake may be.

Then Starlight happens to hear the Crystal Empire mailpony muttering about Sunburst, which leads her to ask him where he is. I like to imagine that if Starlight had been able to meet Sunburst again on her own terms, it would have gone a lot smoother. Thus, The Cutie Re-mark never happens, and the trip to the Crystal Empire for Flurry Heart's Crystalling includes a wtf moment when Twilight runs into Starlight when she's on an errand or something.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the concept

Thanks you, and it's funny that there are seven people tracking this even though it's a one-shot

I agree. People don't give enough attention to Double Diamond, even though he was like, Starlight's second-in-command in the Cutie Map episodes.
Also, . Thanks for pointing that out

If that's a subtle request for a sequel, no. If not, haha

I never did like how Diamond turned on her so quickly in the show.

Now that I think about it, you're right. I feel like Double Diamond would've stayed silent during the whole thing

I liked the friendship between Starlight and Double Diamond a lot. It showed that you don't have to be romantically interested to be close. Was a nice read; will definitely be reading again soon
