After watching this I thought why not make a story out of this.

Romantic love is more abstract than something Twilight Sparkle puts into practice. She knows of its power—but she's got bigger things to worry about.

The thing about love is that you don't get to choose how it happens. It's a control freak's nightmare. Twilight is the mother of all control freaks. She can handle herself, her impulses, her wants.

And yet, she still finds herself in a married stallion's bed. More than once.

In this world, there is one thing that scares Trixie to death, and another one worth dying for.

An overdue dedication to a great and powerful friend and Trixie writer, Ninjadeadbeard, which may not be proper to put here due to the present themes but is only fair, as his legacy and our memories of him will live on forever.

This story is a slightly edited copy of my entry to the Expanding Universes #4 contest, which means it is an expansion of this story by applezombi. I'd recommend reading that one first, but it's not strictly necessary.
