_{This is a fanfic for Monochromatic's The Enchanted Library and thus contains spoilers + won't make sense if you haven't read it! Specifically, it takes place between chapters 35 and 36, and covers things from Rarity's perspective which are explored as part of the plot of the sequel, The Enchanted Kingdom.}

After Twilight shuts her out, Rarity tries to move on. She tries, and tries, and tries. It's hard, and her failures hurt, but her success hurts far more.
