Heartwarming / About Last Night (My Little Pony)

• Applejack discovered her orientation when she was fifteen. Her family's reaction: Switching from suggesting she should find a nice stallion to find a nice mare, and a foal that needs a home.
• Though just a side note, Lyra and Bonbon are married in this story. It's one of the few stories that has them being married, and that comes off as sweet. Heartwarming in Hindsight since as of Season 9, they are married.
• Applejack thought her family would be extremely upset with her "divorcing" Twilight. To her surprise, not only were they understanding, but comforting, especially Big Mac.
• Twilight has the Apples on strict orders not to let Spike do any chores, so he can at least try to learn how have fun like someone his age.
• When Twilight and Applejack arrive at the castle, they run into an old guard and a rookie. It turns out the old guard, Colonel Butterscotch, has been around since Twilight was just a filly, and when Twilight and Applejack pass he uses his magic to put a butterscotch treat in her mouth. Their exchange shows it was regular for him to sneak her a treat before dinner when she was younger.
• Applejack realizes shortly after arriving that Luna likes Twilight, feeling she can't compete with that. Later that night though, Luna saves Applejack when she has a nightmare about her guilt over abandoning Twilight at the wedding, and encourages her to act on her feeling toward Twilight, stating that since Twilight is her liberator her happiness is her business and she refuses to let her miss a potential mate, even if it isn't her.
• When Twilight and Applejack see Trixie again, Trixie is not bearing a grudge: She's overjoyed that they came to see her and was going to send them all tickets to her show anyway.
• Every moment between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy following them getting together. At least until they hit a rough patch due to their conflicting thoughts on having foals.
• Rainbow Dash apologizes to Fluttershy once she realizes she does want to have foals some day.
• When Applejack confesses to Celestia that she really is in love with Twilight, Celestia wraps her in a hug telling her she is happy to hear that someone like Applejack is interested in her student, and tells her she is more than worthy to be Twilight's partner.
