A newly-reformed Diamond Tiara reflects on her fresh outlook after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark', and makes some big decisions about her future. Written to commemorate the fifth anniversary of my favourite episode.
This was a true labour of love I had to mark the occasion with. Enjoy.

Short but good! Great job!
And interesting idea about Silver's cute mark.
Same!

Thank you. And I like that the show gives us so much head canon material.

Great minds think... well, you know the rest.

You're welcome! Me, if I may say, I had the idea that Silver's parents wanted to use special cutlery for Celebrations and Silver came up with a spoon design, getting her cutie mark
DiamondPip is best ship!
Then again best pink pony is always in my stories as most well know.
It really is a shame how little Diamond Tara we got after that episode. There never really was a moment were we saw the result of her turning over a new leaf, was there?

Interesting idea. Quite possible!

Seeing as we got so little of her on the show, it's left to fanfic writers to pick up the slack. And don't we do a great job?

Well, I think we saw her help her butler out of a cart accident... she cooked with Silver Spoon and another filly... then we saw her as a grown-up mare in the last ep looking happy (see avatar pic) aanndd... that's about it. Shame. She didn't even have another spoken line...

Thank you! I also took the idea with Octavia and Vinyl regarding Silver
The perfect anniversary present.

It's not quite a 'diamond anniversary', but it's important to me...
How about that; It's MY favourite episode too!
Awesome twist!
Side note: I was under the impression that she was 'born with a Silver Spoon in her mouth'._

It would be a bit of a shame if that was the only reason for her cutie mark...

Looks like Pinkie's not the only one who likes puns...

Hurray! Welcome to the club.
Oddly, that reminds me of part of A Dream That Wasn't, by Another Army Brony.
It's a shame that the show itself never touched upon this.
Damn it, Diamond Tiara, you're still acting (or rather thinking) like a spoiled bitch... I guess this will take time, (or... a few sessions with a cattle prod) before she reforms completely...
10475776
Sounds like wise words to live by.

Yep. I still love the show, but if I could've changed anything, it would be the lack of DT in later seasons.
10476560
Oh c'mon... she's not that bad. We don't want her to lose all her sassiness... she wouldn't be who she is without it.

Oh, don't get me wrong, what you wrote here seems like a very realistic depiction of DT - people don't change 180 degrees in one day. I'm just saying there is (or was) a long road ahead of her to drop her way of 'rich-thinking.' That's all
It's nice to know if Diamond Tiara can make an effort to change, then I'm pretty sure we all can too. Tiara is doing what she can to help and that is something I admire. This was a sweet fanfiction. I appreciate your passion project, you snarkster you!

Thanks. Someone has to give DT the attention she deserved but didn't receive in the show. I attempt it by writing countless fics featuring her, and now you've followed on by reading one. You see? Each small contribution helps in its own way.
Five years later and Diamond Tiara is still getting her rightfully-deserved attention.
This was a very nice story and a lovely follow-up to the episode it draws from. It's a shame that the actual show never followed up on Diamond's reformation afterwards. Oh well. That's what good fanfics are for, eh?

Well, someone's gotta fill in the gap. It may as well be yours truly...
