Shining Armor has just had the best wedding he could ever, all thanks to his little sister and her friends. Now he's married to the mare of his dreams and it seems he couldn't be happier. But is he really?
With the little time there is before the wedding reception gets underway, Shining opts to visit Twilight both to thank her for her services as best mare, and because he wants to discuss something important with her.
Twilight agrees, eager to have one last talk with her B.B.B.F.F. before married life inevitably pulls him away. But not even she can anticipate what her brother wants to say, what he wants to apologize for. And it isn't just about the wedding.
Chapters (1)
Nice work!
Really good job on the exchange and characterizations in this one-shot. I greatly enjoyed both Twilight AND Shining calmly admitting their mistakes (including Twilight's own foreshadowing for "Amending Fences") and apologizing for them.
Really nice story here! The characters are very well written!
See Hasbro? Is it SO HARD to make a better apology scene?
Also, screw you for hitting me in the feels!
Now if only if there's another apology scene with Twilight's friends and Princess Celestia (Throws money at you)
10959726 I think it's just one of those things that slips through the cracks due to time constraints. I mean, Applejack did say sorry to Twilight and at the moment it occurred it made sense not to reopen old wounds. But there should've been some way to trim other scenes to include even just a brief apology.

While you said about Applejack apologizing to be true and one could argue that as the Bearer of Honesty, her apology on behalf of everyone would be enough. But she was fell victim through Chrysalis' deceits as well as everypony, plus I prefer if they show everyone else apologized too.
You can also argue that the montage would be good example of apologizing but some people see it as a way to avoiding the uncomfortable subject. I would prefer to see a better apology scene than a montage any day. I am usually a person who prefers "Show, don't tell" but this is an example where "Tell, don't show" works better for me.
If the show was a three-parter, It would've been great to see everyone mending fences all the way of building to the ending. This is why it is one of my major gripes that a show about friendship towards little kids, they would've done a better lesson about "forgiveness" and showing the dangers of holding grudges.
Essentially this is what I said in a topic: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/198187/the-accusation-fic-collection/thread/476143/why-do-we-love-to-hate#comment/7551703
For those who don't feel like reading. I am NOT against the concept of forgiveness it's that people assume Forgiveness=Free from consequences or that people who might take advantage of someone's leniency. Again, you can also argue that Keep Calm and Flutter On and No Second Prances already done it on the latter. But wouldn't it be better if that danger of forgiving the wrong person done earlier? I never said that none of them felt remorse and deep down they are all monsters
I am not sure if you ever watch Amphibia but without spoiling the other series, there was a great lesson about how it's still okay to feel hurt from betrayal despite forgiving and reconciliation, and that doesn't make you any less of a person you were before. Plus, it takes time for friendships to mend before things can go things the way they were.
While I never saw Elena of Avalor, that show gives a good lesson that it's okay not wanting to forgive and it doesn't make you look like a grudge holding jerk, but at the same time, it's also important to see that if there was good in someone who hurt you before. Then, you should give that person a chance to see if they truly deserve forgiveness.
WHEW! Sorry for the long ramble but I just like to thank you for replying back to me and you also contributed to my old topic about Mortal Kombat and Injustice 2 Intros. I still have their responses saved except for Rainbow Dash...
