The Magic, Or Friendship? by bahatumay [5k words]

Princess Twilight Sparkle said that Starlight Glimmer should stay for a few more days in the mirror world and enjoy the experience, so she does. Naturally, she stays at Sunset's place because who'd be better at chaperoning a unicorn-turned-human than another unicorn-turned-human?
So the next morning the two are about to sit down to have breakfast when Starlight sees something strange before they could do just that. Sunset Shimmer helpfully provides the explanation. Starlight Glimmer is not too sure how to feel about it.
Dancing Among Stars by Lunaria [1k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Living in the Crystal Empire was something Starlight adapted to quickly; she'd never really been one to grow roots in any one place. Yet the life she'd carved out for herself in the Empire was hardly one she could quickly grow comfortable with.
Self doubt rages in her heart, and the confidence she wielded so freely many years ago to do horrible things is kept under lock and key. But...
At least she has a loving family there to support her.

Good First Impressions by TheDriderPony [13k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
One of the most important, but often understated, tasks of any member of the Castle Staff is to properly get to know the princess. To understand her likes and dislikes. To plan for how she reacts to good and bad news. To learn to anticipate her needs and accommodate them before she even asks.
But Duly Noted just cannot seem to wrap her head around the princess. No matter how many times she tries or what side of her she sees.
Can We Just Not Dance on Tuesdays? by overlord-flinx [1k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Ponyville—all of Equestria but mostly Ponyville—loves their random bouts of theatrics and choreographed dance routines. But is it at all possible for us to not do it during business hours? It's not really asking for a lot, is it?
Starlight's a big fan of it, don't get her wrong. But there are a few complaints...
How about not on Tuesdays? That seems reasonable, right?
Starlight's Miscalculation by TheBlackAndWhite [1k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Starlight Glimmer is extremely resentful after her loss of Equality Village and decides to travel back in time to prevent Twilight and her friends from even existing.
Securing Star Swirl's spell, she is on her way back to the past with the intention of altering the timeline. She had calculated every step she was going to take with a hundred percent of success.
However, a calculation can derail if you miss so much as a negative sign in the process, and Starlight forgot to account for that negative sign.

Heccin' Mayo! by Test4Echo [6k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Since reforming, Starlight Glimmer has led a sometimes eventful, sometimes dull, sometimes outlandish life as Twilight's friendship student. Said aspects of her time in Twilight's castle have not disappeared after de facto graduating and continuing on her own friendship journey without as heavy a guidance from her mentor. Therefore, as she has stopped Chrysalis and led the changelings to a true understanding of love and other emotions, performing simple tasks to prepare herself lunch should surely be a simple task.
After all, how difficult could it be to open a jar of mayonnaise?

https://www.fimfiction.net/
Would she ever believe her own self? If she told past Starlight Glimmer that one day she would be lying down in a makeshift pillow fort, with the Princess’ face cradled in her hooves, feeling her heart be the fullest she ever thought possible? Old Starlight Glimmer would have cackled on her face. And the New Starlight Glimmer would cackle in her face! And call herself an idiot.

But it's all going just fine, until a strange mare named Starlight Glimmer comes along and starts asking questions she can't answer.

Be the Kite by marmalado [4k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Self-levitation is a spell that, while recognized in Equestrian history and used by many famous unicorns of the past, is not one that just any unicorn can master. It takes a great deal of practice and skill to be able to lift up your entire body mass and transport it in midair in a manner similar to flying.
For Starlight, the task certainly isn't coming easy. But with enough dedication and passion, she is eventually able to do it, and it becomes one of the first spells she ever teaches herself. Why, though? What use does self-levitation have in a world where many ponies were friends with pegasi eager to give them a wing up?
The answer lies in a single device that can do what she once could not. A single, stupid device, but still...it could be useful.
