[A Tarnished Silver side-story, taking place at the end of the series. Contains spoilers for the end of A Silver Sky.]

When I was little, I wanted to be a Princess. Now I wish I was anything else.

Because being Princess is the greatest burden in Equestria, and the weight just gets heavier with every passing day. I just want to let go, to forget for one moment that the fate of a kingdom lies on my back. I want to feel like a mare again. I want pleasure, and pain, and to feel my husband's body against mine....

I want to feel again.

But one day I met a filly who had felt far too much, who had suffered pain beyond her years and pleasure no foal should ever know...

And Luna help me, I envied her.
