Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Celestia has often looked to the furthest edges of her kingdom when watching for dangers. Sometimes, she may even journey there, just to make sure things are on the up and up. Today, she goes to, of all places, the former village of Starlight Glimmer. But it is not the mare herself she has come to see, but the village's newest resident, who is not as unfamiliar to her as might first appear.

Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to create the greatest spell of the past century – and then want to destroy it.

It's too dangerous to use, she says. It's too tempting. It can't help you the way you think it can.

Well, Starlight Glimmer knows a thing or three about temptation. She'll prove to Twilight that this spell – this magnificent book – is too important to destroy. That it can help ponies.

She just has to survive using it, first.

Second place in the May 2018 WriteOff.

The recent reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Equestria and Yakyakistan has brought into circulation a number of stories concerning a fabled land of sedge grasses in the far northern mountains where the winds seem to speak in sibilant whispers. One pony sets out to learn the truth behind these stories.

A fond tribute to Cold in Gardez's "Lost Cities," the original version of this story won 5th place in the Sept. 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Distant Shores."

This story is a sequel to Glimmer in the Snow

Post-S6. Starlight Glimmer returns to Our Town once again. Starlight intends to stay for a few weeks this time, continuing to atone for her megalomania as the former leader of Our Town.

However, Starlight knows there is one pony above all else she owes an apology to: the stallion she founded Our Town with, Double Diamond.

Light romance-shipping of Starlight Glimmer and Double Diamond (GlimmerDiamond). Reading the prequel is not wholly necessary to understand this story, but there are a few references that make more sense.

Day 18 of my Self-Imposed 28 Fics in 28 Days Challenge

Double Diamond has always been forced to hide his true nature. Behind the affable mask he wears lies a stallion colder than ice and crueler than steel, only just in control of his darker impulses. That's what makes living among the changelings, who can sense all of his emotions - or lack thereof - such a delicious challenge.

Written in one hour for the Quills and Sofas 'Black Sunday' contest.

Another day, another skiing trip. Double Diamond now has the blessing of having a friend accompany him on his outings. On the other hoof, he finds it strange that Party Favor goes with him more often than Sugar Belle or Night Glider. Something is up with the balloon-making stallion. But what?

Perhaps a little advice from a local specialist might point him in the right direction.

NOTES
1. The story involves season 5 spoilers. Watch the first two episodes before reading this.
2. This is M/M fluff.
3. Double Favor for the win.
4. I'll add in the character tags if/when Double Diamond and Party Favor get any.
5. Made the Popular Stories list.

In the aftermath of the hive's reformation and hard-earned acceptance across Equestria, many changelings find themselves freely traveling the continent. When one of them ends up in a modest little town on Equestria's outskirts, he charms a local stallion with tales of a place where all is lackadaisical and cuddly, and offers him a demonstration.
