Octavia and her cello share a special bond, but not one of the usual calibre. Her cello, unlike others, has a significant characteristic from a long ago time that makes it much more valuable than most realize.

Was it a magical spell gone awry? An angry god laying waste upon a world that had forgotten him? A long and bloody war? An incurable disease?

Fluttershy couldn't remember what it was that had turned the world to this. All she knew was that she had to survive.

In an attempt to save face, Big Macintosh takes drastic measures to assure his secret stays safe. However, his actions bring forward a whole new set of deceptions that aren't entirely his own.

(This is the sequel to my featured story Darkest Secrets. I highly recomend people go and read that one first if they haven't already, I'm 99% sure you won't understand the context if you don't.

Carrot Top has baked the most scrumptious carrot cake in Ponyville. She had to. There's just no way she can lose to Applejack this year in Fillydelphia - this year she's taking home the crown, no thanks to her friend Derpy. And yet things do not go as planned.....

For years I have stood on this hill, ever since I was a little child. We grew up together, we lived together. She gave me the one thing I could only dream for, a purpose.

Apple Bloom had always dreamed of the day. She just never dreamed that it would be a nightmare.

Shipping. Shipping the never before shipped!
After the end of Season Two, the mane six enjoy a cruise and along the way meet six unusual partners...!

No OCs. The challenge is in shipping something not seen before, is it not?!
Don't bother checking the character list either. I won't spoil the identities there. Maybe when all the chapters are done and online. Maybe.

We all have secrets. For some it's nothing more than having an extra scoop of ice cream after dinner, for other's it's something much more morbid and disturbing. Those who pursue the truth, be warned, sometimes the darkest secrets of certain ponies are best left hidden in the shadows of their silence.

Rainbow Dash finally did it! A sonic rainboom on command! Except she also managed to break every window in Applejack's farmhouse in the process. Now she has to pay for each one, and with her wages from managing the weather not nearly enough to cover the damage, she has to work on Applejack's farm for two whole weeks!
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Still, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. At least she would get to hang out with her friend AJ right? Wrong.
