UNLESS YOU FORGOT

Every other time Equestria has been under threat, Twilight has faced it together with her friends. Starlight Glimmer is a special case. She isn't going after the peace and prosperity of Equestria; she's going after Twilight Sparkle herself. When Twilight finds herself without a friend in the world thanks to a mysterious and widespread amnesia, she has to figure out who hates her enough to do something like this.

Everypony in Equestria has forgotten that Twilight Sparkle ever existed. Well, almost everypony.

healthy, slowburn enemies to friends to lovers

aesthetically pleasing color palettes

they start out as excellent foils whose characters ultimately grow to complement each other's strengths and flaws

starlight was the first pony to really challenge twilight's magical prowess and vice versa (they truly equal each other in power and skill level)

so even though they are already extremely accomplished unicorns

they challenge and encourage each other to become better at magic

and geek out over complicated spells that few other unicorns can perform

they encourage each other to rethink their perceptions of friendship

and don't hesitate to call each other out when one of them is wrong

they just balance each other so well in personality/ability overall

and unlike twilight and celestia's relationship, twistar is closer in age and lacks the uncomfy power imbalance traditionally found in teacher-student dynamics

also twilight is noticeably more physically affectionate with starlight than any of the mane six???

and seemed very obviously jealous of starlight's friendship w trixie in a way we haven't seen her act with the rest of the cast

then ofc there's the fact that they live together (which twilight didn't when she was celestia's student)
