Earth Ponies controlled the Ground. Pegasi, the Sky. Unicorns, the Aether.
And things generally worked out for a few thousand years.

And then there was the Sea.

And now there's just me.

An entry for Bicyclette's 1000 words contest (group / info) in the "Angst" category.

Inky Rose doesn't really interact with other ponies all that much. But that doesn't mean she doesn't ever leave the house, and underground shows are exactly her scene.

But the last thing she expected to find at a show like this is Troubleshoes, who looks like he wouldn't know the difference between a goth and a punk if his life depended on it.

Written for the 2024 May Pairings Contest.

"I wonder whether the history of us is already written in the love we’ll make. And whether I might be the only pony who can read it.”

Winning entry into the Colourful Characters Contest focusing on Princess Cadance for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group.
Originally written in 75 minutes, this version has received some refinement. Special thanks to all who read in the contest and particularly Shaslan, Red, Snow Quill and AFanaticRabbit for their editing notes.

Caramel has many interests, and a long history of getting sucked into scams while following them. Chancellor Neighsay wishes to work through his backlog of pending EEA investigations, and offers him a deal.

Rated T for brief strong language, mild CW for internalized ableism (neurodivergence)

Winner of the Caramel x Chancellor Neighsay bracket in the semifinals of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting May Pairings Knockout Contest.

The Hermit. The Wheel of Fortune. The Tower. 

A search for truth, an inevitable fate, and disaster. 

I know my fate, and sadly, it is not with you.

Cw for implied death

Written for Rice as part of a Christmas fic exchange from last year.

There is a hidden village deep within the untamed forest surrounding Neighagara Falls. Should one ever journey to this village, those who live there will welcome them for a simple price: love.

When the village accepts a new family from Cloudsdale, a not-quite-altruistic pair of changeling siblings offer a young filly friendship and a chance to find her place in the strange village she hopes to call home.

New cover art done by Arcticwaters.

The adventures have ended, and the Mane 6 have settled into their lives. Except for Applejack, who finds herself increasingly alone on a farm whose best days are behind it.

Winner of the Quills and Sofas Lyrical contest 2, using the prompt The Water is Wide.

Rainbow Dash is the best. She's consistently at the top of her class, and is the envy of all her peers. Things only get better when Fluttershy finally starts visiting Cloudsdale again after being gone for months.

Except she must not be good enough yet, because they still don't notice her.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group's April Fools contest. Posted because it's ridiculous and today is a good day to be silly. :D
Entered it into Bicyclette's Thousand Words Contest under the Experimental category.

Alert: As of 16 August 2018 I've begun some drastic editing to knock this story down from Mature rating to Teen; there has been a lot of cleaning up to do in both content and formatting. I believe it's finished, but I might need someone to let me know if it's still too M for the T. Let me know if you think I missed something. Thanks for your patience!

The post-graduate campus of Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is a place of knowledge obscure and powerful, perhaps powerful enough for Alpha to live his dream for just one night... but how far would he be willing to go when his friend's safety and dignity are on the line?

[ This was my entry into the Mature bracket of the Transformations group's Body Swap Contest. How the Other Half Lives managed to place second! Congratulations to the winner, Twinkletail. ]

[ What's more, this story has been accepted into Twilight's Library, which I hear is quite a feat for a story with these tags. As if I wasn't proud of it before! ]

[ Vanilla Breeze acted as prereader for this one; without her help this story would make even less sense than it does, haha. Than you so much, hon! I couldn't have done it without you. ]

[ Placeholder art is by Death-of-all. I'm still looking for something a little more suitable. ]
