Diamond Tiara has a difficult relationship with her mother. She gets an idea for a Hearth's Warming wish from Ruby Pinch that may help, but it's something money alone can't buy.
For material goods, bits will do nicely. For everything else, there's friendship.

Wow. I thought Diamond Tiara was a unicorn as well, but apparently I didn't put in any references to that.
I have no idea how that got in my head. Maybe I imagined the horn because she's elitist and I was being speciesist...
Kinda surprised she didn’t try Twilight for a magic solution.
She could try to bribe Starlight. Nothing is impossible with a teeny-tiny bit of mind control!
Oh man it's here!
Glad I found this - and I'm glad I can now thank you properly! Thank you so much for writing this, it's absolutely wonderful. I am for what seems like the millionth time cursing myself that I haven't saved my initial comments from the collab post, but this really struck a very personal chord for me.
Yay!
Huh. That went places I didn't expect. Spoiled's transition from arrogance to collapse feels a bit abrupt, but it's not like I've never been part of an intervention. Excellent work in capturing both the addict's desperation and Diamond's own continuing struggle to become a better person. Thank you for this.
This was a sweet tale. Especially for Diamond Tiara
Very sweet.
This was a really well-delivered happy ending in a situation where there often aren't.
I like stories like this, where a Diamond Tiara who hasn't quite gotten the hang of being good tries to do the right thing. She's a really good character when she's explored well, and I think this fic qualifies. Nice work!
This sentence punched me in the heart. Poor Diamond.
Spoiled's breakdown was painful. The end was sweet.
