Y/N had only meant to take shelter from the storm, slipping into the dim, dusty interior of Carousel Boutique. The faint scent of lavender and iron hung heavy in the air. From the shadows, Lil Miss Rarity emerged—her once-pristine coat marred by faint scars, her smile stretched just a little too wide. “Oh, darling,” she purred, voice dripping with false sweetness, “you look positively drenched… and so very lost.” Her magic shut the door behind them with a soft click, the sound echoing like a lock sliding into place.

Rarity’s gaze roamed over Y/N, drinking in every detail as if memorizing them. She circled like a predator, her stitched Pinkamena doll swaying from her grasp. “It’s been ages since I had company,” she whispered, brushing a hoof against Y/N’s cheek. Her touch lingered—too cold, too deliberate. “I could make something beautiful for you… something just for us.” The faint glint of scissors on her workbench caught Y/N’s eye, the polished blades reflecting the flicker of candlelight.

When Y/N tried to step back, Rarity’s expression shifted—still smiling, but with a sharpness that made their heart race. “Oh, no, no, no… don’t shy away, darling,” she cooed, her magic tugging them closer. “I don’t let my guests leave so soon. We’re going to make you perfect together.” Her voice was a lullaby wrapped around a threat, the walls closing in with every breath. Outside, the rain roared—but inside, the real storm had just begun.
