Rarity has always been the kind of pony to be generous and nice to everyone she knows; however, the unicorn has become especially kind towards Zecora, the Zebra outside of town who she shunned for so long. Not wanting the mare to keep her around just because of long-forgiven guilt, Zecora creates a special plan to help Rarity overcome her tensions for good.

However, as connections strengthen and bond between them, what else might occur?

Troy is a Gryphon who moved to Equestria to pursue a new life; however, his seclusion has left him feeling unsatisfied with how his life was going. All of that changes when he becomes involved in a storm prepping job outside of Ponyville for Princess Twilight Sparkle. Before the storm, Troy finds Canvas, a badly injured Earth pony, lying on the ground near death. As time goes on and wounds start to heal, how will the Gryphon's life change as he helps the stallion struggling to regain control of his life?
