Note: This story might be based in the Showing His Place universe, but it's purely an AU one-shot not meant to be seen as canon. Not only is this story different from the later ones in the timeline, but it's also one that contains a lot of darker themes. If certain themes like cuckolding, child support tampering, losing parental rights, or pure masochism aren't your thing, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Also, Spike isn't in this story. I just found the screenshot online, and I edited it a little bit for fun.

It's officially Father's Day in the Crystal Empire, and Prince Shining Armor is enjoying a lovely morning to himself for his special day. However, when Cadance finally shows up to the bedroom, Shining is surprised to see her by herself. In fact, it didn't seem like the Princess prepared any kind of breakfast for her "Husband," or even brought Flurry Heart up to visit him herself.

On any previous year, that sort of thing would've been seen as a huge oversight. However, since it was the first year that Shining and Cadance were spending Father's Day with Sombra present, it seemed that the former Villain wanted to do something special for his cuckold of a Prince~
