Twilight has had a long reign. She has watched ponies develop technologies that those of the past considered mere mythology. She has watched them scour the world and discover continents that were hidden from view or simply lost beneath the waves. Many creatures and tribes of ponies have come and gone, and the sea of stars is where they went last.

The alicorn accompanied them and acted as a figurehead and council before retreating back to Equestria. Now she is crumbling apart in the final years of her life as her magic consumes her body and the ponies are on the verge of dying out. As she watches the sky, engulfed by a black hole crowned in light, Twilight is approached by a still young mare, unfortunately born in an age where she will be all that's left of her people in just a few years.

She asks Twilight a question not about herself or her future, but about the alicorn herself: How does a god die?

Princess Celestia has sent an invitation to Twilight Sparkle and friends for a royal Canterlot wedding! While reading off the list of invitees, however, Twilight comes across a certain "Mrs. and Mrs. Dash". Turns out Rainbow Dash and Rarity are a married couple, and have been since before Twilight moved to Ponyville. Twilight never knew this. Hilarity ensues, as well as a few feels.

(AU, where RariDash are, well, married. Some canon events and scenes have been shifted accordingly, to Twilight's increasing confusion.)

Applebloom and Diamond Tiara have never been friends. Diamond Tiara was redeemed, and truly felt guilty for the things she did... but Applebloom couldn't fully reconcile with her. The years of torment, the scars she left, the thoughts she put in the farm filly's head... She couldn't fix that in one day. An apology wasn't enough, not for one texas yellow mare.

One day, the two walk past eachother on the street, and Diamond Tiara strikes up a conversation. So begins a long journey of self-acceptance, recovery, and love...

TL;DR; Applebloom finds out she is a lesbian with a horrible taste in mares, and has to juggle internalized homophobia alongside reconciling with her childhood bully.

Despite their bickering over the years, Rarity always knew her parents would eventually settle their differences at the end of the day.

It was only natural that her father's triumphant announcement of his recent divorce came as quite a shock.

Even more so that he was already remarried.

An entry for the Thousand Words II contest in the "Comedy" category.

Art courtesy of Shaslan, however, due to a minor miscommunication over narrative details, it has little to do with the story itself beyond representing Rarity's mental state throughout.

It's been years since Sunset has had a good Hearth's Warming. After the events of last year, she almost wants to skip the holiday entirely, but her friends think they can do something that might change her mind.

Things aren't going well for Twilight. Celestia seems to be upset with her, things are starting to make less sense, and she keeps seeing that face in the mirror.

Sunny fails to prevent the crystals from consuming the land in void, and she learns a horrible truth about her world.

Written for the Science Fiction Contest II, where it also won a judge prize!

Intriguing premise that came up from discussion about what G5 is, and I couldn't resist giving it a write^^

Seeking to redeem himself Sprout, is sent to Canterlot —A.K.A. Zephyr Heights— to help set up a huge party that will take place in two days. Along the way he just might meet a new friend with rather inspiring talents, help ponies set aside their differences, and save the opening ceremony. And maybe the day.

A fun, wholesome story about forgiveness and redemption. It's never too late to say goodbye.

This story is my entry for the Generation 5 Bingo Writing Contest

Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush go camping.

✿ Originally published on June 30th, 2020 on a now defunct alt named Marin.

Sunset Shimmer has lost everything. All her so-called friends have turned their backs on her thanks to the machinations of Anon-A-Miss, and she's abandoned and alone. About to step out into a cold winter afternoon, she hears a voice she didn't expect calling her back...

Written because of my own temper and sense of righteousness has fouled my thoughts before. Written because we can see the truth of things even through our anger. And written because I'd like to believe that individuals can think beyond the baying of the mob.

Rated T for swearing, discussions of violence, and some other PG-13 scenes.
