When The Student Six learn of Headmare Starlight's odd decision to have Discord teach them their final lesson of the school semester, the gang is the farthest thing from amused. Not just because of Discord's track record of creating trouble, but because they have come to learn the truth of him being the one who brought King Sombra back, the destroyer of their idol, the Tree of Harmony. Bearing a grudge, the students reluctantly go to Discord's lesson, none the wiser to the fact that there is a familiar villain lurking in the shadows, looking to manipulate the darkness within their hearts...

In the land of Equestria, the music of The Beatles has become beloved. For Ocellus, thanks to Sandbar, she has been introduced to their music and has picked up music lessons to play one of their songs. But what would happen if one day, she wakes up and finds that no one, not her friends, her scholarly Headmare, or even all of Equestria has forgotten about the Fab Four?

An idea that's based on the film "Yesterday," and is taking in a deeper dive into this brilliant concept.

A special thank you to Geek Crossing for this wonderful cover for this story.

Starlight did something bad. Really bad.

It was just a single moment, a single lapse of judgment. In the heat of that second, she tried to kiss her best friend.

That was three days ago, and she hasn't seen Trixie since. Before that attempted kiss, she'd looked forward to seeing Trixie at Twilight's Hearth's Warming party, but now that it's here, she dreads it. She's going to have to say a lot of the right things if she wants to keep the best friend she's ever had.

Provided, of course, that Trixie even shows up.

Since Gallus moved back to Griffonstone after ending his career with the Royal Guard, he’s paved a decent life for himself. He’s been charged with spreading the message and lessons of friendship throughout the village, which usually amounts to beating the other griffons over the head with common sense. 

But one day, he snaps out of a haze. He realizes that griffons don't have as many problems with each other anymore, infrastructure is being built at an impossibly fast rate, and industry is flourishing on all sides.

And as good as that sounds, there's something malicious lurking behind this new age of prosperity.

Something bad is happening, and whatever it is, it’s affecting everyone else too. As Griffonstone grows, the other nations on the continent are getting worse, and it’s all connected.

Gallus, along with the rest of his old friends, are the only ones who can stop it, and considering that the last time they were all in the same place was three years ago, and it resulted in a bar fight and a lot of tears, none of them are in for a good time.

This story assumes that the epilogue at the end of the series takes place 10 years into the future.

Many of my chapters are edited by the wonderful Miller Minus and Jack of a Few Trades . I'm very grateful for them and I wouldn't be the same without them.

Upon arriving home from a trip, Twilight is shocked to find her teenaged little brother Spike kissing Rumble, a male pegasus. Spike has no choice but tell Twilight a secret that she herself never saw coming.

He's gay.

Thanks to Kill Joy for the cover

And Goombasa for the dramatic reading.

When Gallus feels bad about not having a family, Trixie takes matters into her own hooves.

Caramel helps Thunderlane accept his sexuality... Granted not in the way that usually happens, but the same rules apply!

A first draft of this was written for the Write-Off Association.

Smolder doesn't know how beaks work. Like, when they're not being used to peck worms out of the ground. Gallus, Silverstream and Sandbar try to explain.

There's a lot of kissing involved.

One day everyone is going to graduate. One day they'll go their separate ways.
Ocellus may have just found a way to stop that. Draw a spell circle, sacrifice a little blood, stay friends forever. It's a simple process really, until everyone's feelings spill over the floor.

The School of Friendship is nearly finished for the year. Several of the students are glad to start summer vacation but some like Gallus and Sandbar aren't so keen on this. Their friends are creatures that they wouldn't trade for anything, and it just doesn't feel right to leave them. Then, the blue griffon finds a pocket watch which may show them a few things.
