Twilight, oh Twilight. If you aren't whooping serious butt, you're an adorable librarian that would rather spend days alone reorganizing books than with friends. She starts to ponder why in her journal. In typical Twilight fashion, she studies possible reasons.

*disclaimer: so much headcanon I might as well buy an armoury. This thing has been sitting in my google docs for months and I might as well unleash the atrociousness. Also, in typical "me" fashion, Twilight swears more than a sailor to get her point across. She just seems like the type.*

"Wait, you mean being gay is a crime in this world?" Sunset was floored when she heard the news. After quieting the voice that realized how many blackmailing opportunities she missed, she has the idea to start a Gay Straight Alliance, with the help of her new, accidental, girlfriend Rainbow Dash. What else was a reformed villain to do?
She didn't do it for the pride, or glory. But she may have saved a life or two.

Depression is a hard cycle to break. Many don't realize they have it. But sometimes, somebody gets lucky and finds something, or someone, that connects them to the rest of the world. Makes you feel like you're worth something.
But even bonds of love are such slender threads.

A Scootaloo story about growing up queer, with the world against you. And you against you.

Set a little after Rainbow Rocks. Kinda. We're also under the assumption that Scootaloo and gang are freshman and the Mane Six are seniors.

Teen because sexual innuendo. Or, you know, discuss it openly. Also profanity because I swore worse than a sailor in high school, so I assume everyone else does it too. Also if reading about teenage lesbians, gays, or etc, exploring their sexuality (pg-rated) makes you uncomfortable, abandon hope now. Also beware the Teen Angst. And a few suicide attempts...

There are only two ponies not joining in on Rainbow's break down. One's a stoic, so the reason is obvious. But what about the Princess of Friendship? Isn't empathy in her job description? And not a single tear.
From Season 5 Episode 5, "Tanks for the Memories."

Yes, I know it's late. As always, your criticism and praise is welcome in equal measure. I do mention shipping, but I think you'll quite like it.
There's also a tiny bit of swearing because in my head canon Twilight would use it for the sake of hyperbole.

I have a video review! Yes, I did watch it, Yes, I know it says don't read it, and frankly you should listen to him! YouTube
Frankly I'm surprised anybody thinks this is good. As mentioned in a tiny blog blurb, I don't plan on revisiting this story because I have other terrible crap to write. I'm sorry for subjecting the internet to this.
But if you think this is bad, just be grateful I don't publish the droll I wrote in High School.

By some fortune, Shining Armor was on leave and decided to return to Ponyville to talk to his Little Sister Best Friend Forever, Twilight Sparkle, just as the group went to fight the equalists spread friendship.

He is greeted instead by his dragon-bro, who informs him of his limited knowledge of the situation. A few mugs of cider and a poorly placed bet later, Big Mac shows up.

It is the author's expressed opinion that a good time was had by all.

This is the first story I've submitted anywhere, but don't be gentle. I actually want to know why it sucks (or if it doesn't). I wrote this just before the season premier, but then I realized I could change a tiny plot point, and it would be half-way canon.

rated T for mild colt-cuddling... and maybe a few swear words, I can't remember.
Oh, and poor taste in humor.
