Cinderheart the fire mage likes superheroes. Enough to don a cowl of magic and patrol the night in her hometown of Canterlot. Sadly, her first attempt at crimewatch isn't going so well. Injured and discouraged, she needs a lifeline. A sidekick. A trustworthy civilian with the smarts, skills, and resources to act as competent support.

She gets Lyra Heartstrings instead.

A Christmas gift to my friend Jaded Hearts, co-starring Lyra with one of his OCs. If Cinderheart charms you, sample his uploads that take place in the same AU.
