It's over.
The Nightmare is finally over.

There are some things you cannot take back.
The wounds of Eternal Night cut deep in Equestria, in no one more than Celestia herself. Reeling from the painful aftershocks of betrayal and war and grief, Celestia is unraveling. But falling apart now is not an option. Equestria has lost one Princess, it cannot lose the other. There is work to be done, and The Princess of the Day must take on her sister's mantel if they are to survive.

Raise the Moon, Celestia, before the Darkness consumes you...

If you think that your day is a little too short,
With too much to do for twenty-four hours,
Then you fall back on the final resort,
And go back in time with your magical powers.

Princess Celestia, in her infinite wisdom, comes to the conclusion that she doesn't have anywhere near enough time to do everything on her busy schedule. Not a problem for her, though. The solution to having no time is obvious: just make some more.

Stuff I've written for Thirty-Minute Pony Stories. I've been aiming for "short and sweet" with these, since I'm a glacially slow writer who can literally spend hours laboring on a single paragraph. I'm hoping that forcing myself to follow prompts with time limits will help me improve my speed. If nothing else, I'm enjoying actually writing again.

The world spins, years pass, and everything comes to an end. Except Celestia. She sits on the shore of the last ocean, watching and waiting for her own chance at death. Because everything comes to an end if you wait long enough, and Celestia is patient indeed.

Sheriff B. T. Book is a straight-laced, by-the-book kind of cop--for years he's protected Ponyville from litter, noise violations, and several of Pinkie's more insane theme parties. All he really wants is a little appreciation for his hard work, and maybe to save the town from certain doom, just once.

His grandfather, the famous sheriff Hard Country, is dead. But he got better. And now he's raring to get back to kicking criminals in the face and running away from things just before they explode.

Only problem is, there aren't any criminals or explosions in today's Ponyville. Or so one would think. But Hard isn't the only ghost who's up and walking, and when his old nemesis comes back to settle an extra-old score, grandfather and grandson will have to put aside their differences and work together, or else Ponyville might just be destroyed.

Well, to be honest, Ponyville is probably going to be destroyed anyway. Things do tend to explode when Hard's around. But when the good guys are blowing up your town, there's just one thing you have to remember:

It's exploding with love.

Written for the League of Equestrian Gentlecolts Ghost OC Prompt thing. Also in loving memory of the short-lived 2010 buddy cop show "The Good Guys."

A collection of TMP writings (lightly edited), random bits of stories and other things too short or inconsequential to stand on their own.

Vinyl and Octavia have a tradition, a tradition that they have never let slip. But, this year, things long left unsaid finally find their way to the surface.

In what could only be described as a stunningly brilliant business venture, Flim and Flam have constructed a carnival of sharks right outside Ponyville. As in, like, literally a Shark Carnival.

With actual sharks.

On actual rollercoasters.

It's going to rock so hard.

A collection of short stories I've written for the Thirty Minute Ponies tumblr. They run the gamut from comedy to tragedy to bittersweet and everything else in between. I will be writing more frequently, and will add them as I do. I hope you enjoy reading at least one of them as much as I did writing it.

Also, the 'Other' tag was used because there's too many characters to tag them all accurately.

The prompt number in parentheses is the number of the prompt located on the TMP Tumblr, if you want to find it or look at the other submissions for yourself.

A collection of flash-fiction stories about ponies, ranging in tone from weird slice-of-life to speculative tales of possible future Equestrias.
