Some pony bard heard about this story and wrote about one particular part of it. (That bard was an avatar of SongCoyote.)

Alone within her cottage, Fluttershy
Sat by the fire, her quiet gaze cast down
Her usual cheer did sorrow underlie
For seeds of love were planted, but not grown
Her dreams were of blue eyes and pure white coat
And perfect purple mane coiffed cleverly
With diamonds on her flank that did connote
Her talent: finding treasure expertly
But this fine mare seemed far out of her reach
Her fondest wish: a stallion as a mate
And so our pegasus did help beseech
To win her love despite that she was straight

And so a spell was cast, a line was crossed
She won her mare, but reckoned not the cost

Non-Canon Tidbit 1

(This scene occurs on the ramparts of Canterlot Castle, at the end of the conversation between Luna and Fluttershy.)

Luna offered Fluttershy a small smile. “Trust in your friends and community; they have never failed you before.”

“Thank you, Luna.”

“Oh, and one more thing, if I may?” Luna said quietly as she looked into Fluttershy’s eyes.

“Of course!”

Luna cleared her throat, then spoke softly. "If you and Rarity should ever tire of each other, or if she cannot let go of her anger... I hope you will consider receiving my suit?"

"Your... suit?"

"I would court you now if I thought it meet," said Luna with a warm smile, "but I would never countenance interfering with a love that is already growing."

In Ponyville, BonBon had just stepped outside to take in the cool night air, her breath steaming and scented with Lyra. Her eyes widened as a new pink-red star shone near the horizon from the direction of Canterlot. How odd, she thought as it slowly faded out, that light feels warm from here!

Non-Canon Tidbit 2

(At first this was set down partly in dark jest, but it was retained because, well, there are some who might have preferred a slightly grimmer ending, though it’s not quite in keeping with the mood we, the authors, wanted for this story. Not to mention it would have shortened it a fair bit!

This scene happens during the final battle in Chapter 8, just after Celestia charges Amber in silent rage)

Celestia crouched, her wings spread wide, then leaped into a flying charge, leaving a single bloody hoofprint on the flagstones. She spoke not a word, her horn flaring as she took to the air toward Amber Dawn, the light in her eyes and the set of her jaw eloquently expressing her rage.

Now that she didn’t have the stolen Elements to boost her power, seeing Celestia’s charge gave Amber pause. However, it was the utter silence of her attack - without any threats or cajoling - that truly frightened her.

Frantically Amber prepared to teleport, only to feel herself gripped by Celestia’s magic. She forced her spell past the binding around her and smiled in triumph as she disappeared. Her celebration was short lived, though, as Celestia appeared next to her in the air, her magic still wrapped tightly around her.

“No,” Celestia declaimed in a quiet voice that belied her fury. “Not this time. This ends now.”

“But Celes…” her words were cut off as the bindings around her squeezed. Celestia’s horn flared and once more they teleported.

Deep in the desert, a hundred miles from the nearest town, two alicorns appeared, the white one binding the orange in bright lines of magic. Amber struggled but could not free herself from Celestia’s spell, though she tried her nullification effect again and again.

Shaking her head sadly, Celestia landed them atop a rocky outcropping. “Twilight told me about that spell, Amber, and I have devised a countermeasure. Alas, I will likely never need it again.”

Amber stilled in her bonds, the sadness in Celestia’s words penetrating her fury. “What... what are you going to do?”

“The only thing I can at this point,” whispered Celestia, and in the isolated place she was finally able to let her emotions show as tears rolled down her face.

“No! Celly, I love you! Please, don’t do this!”

Raising her tear-stained face, Celestia finally met Amber’s eyes. “I loved you too, Amber Dawn. But you have gone too far, damaged too many lives. No more.”

Celestia lifted her gaze to the sky, staring straight up at the sun. Her mane and tail ignited as her horn glowed blazing white.

Amber’s cries fell away from Celestia’s consciousness as the fire spread to encompass her entire body. Her mouth opened in a terrifying roar that none living had ever heard. Far above, the sun glinted in response.

A lance of sunlight struck the stone between Celestia’s forehooves, melting it in an instant. Still she called, her voice echoing off the distant hills, and the beam spread until the air around it erupted in a fireball larger than Canterlot castle.

The flame roiled over the desert, fierce wind swirling it into a maelstrom of devastation. It faded away slowly, the tornadoes of dust and sand dying out as the heat was absorbed by she who had called it.

Alone in the center of the blast crater, surrounded by shards of heat-wrought glass scattered by the stormwinds, Celestia wept. Dark ashes blew from between her hooves to spread in an invisible shroud over the drifting dunes.

“Good grief, Twilight, calm down or I’ll have to use you to make treats!” cried Pinkie.
