Sometimes, when I look at fanart... things happen.
This was one of them.
I'm sorry.

Shining Armor has everything - the wife, the house, the life. So when he rolls over to find the creature that crashed his wedding and nearly wrecked his chance at happiness snuggled oh-so-sweetly at his side, with his darling Cadance at his other, it's all he can do to keep it together and try to assemble the missing pieces.

Noticing her Princess' plight, the kitchen mare helpfully offers some of Luna's "special brew" to jumpstart Celestia's day. Chaos ensues when an overly percolated princess can't handle her caffeine!

(Rated "Teen" for the single use of one naughty word.)

Daybreak's story is told here in Sometimes It Takes a Double Shot!

(Many thanks to CaptainBron3y for this live reading!)

Don't miss the unofficial sequel "A Princess Needs her Coffee", a lovely story by my wonderful friend Broman.

Edited by the wonderful XSomeGuyx and Hopeless Appraisal. Thanks for polishing this up!

"I love you, Trixie."

I love you too dad.

Ever since dad died, things have been different. All I want is for my mother to be proud of me. Maybe then she'll stop treating me like I'm nothing.

Maybe then she'll love me.

Over the years, it's become apparent that I am nothing but a puppet to her. So I put on a smile, straighten my hat, and do what my mom always wanted me to do.

To be the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Thanks to Captain Bron3y for doing a dramatic reading.

"When I die, nopony will say ‘it’s a shame’ or ‘I’ll miss her’. They’ll say ‘good riddance’

But even so, at least they know who I am. What really scares me is that when I die, nopony will remember me at all. I’m just a nameless face. An unmarked grave. At my funeral, will anypony cry?"

When Trixie takes her own life, she sends her final letter to the closest thing she's ever had to a friend.

[Author's Note: I'm sorry the description is so darn terrible. They're harder to write than the story! Thanks to Princess-Glitzy for figuring out whom the cover art belongs to!]

19/3/14 - Oooh! I see myself on the popular stories list! It may not be very high up, but yay! EDIT: Eeek! It made third place! Oh my gosh! You guys! It made first place on the Popular Stories list. Not sure that will last long, but hooray! Yes, I know it has no real significance!

20/3/14 - Oh my goodness! I feel like I'm accepting an Oscar or something. It was such a wonderful surprise to log on and see people congratulating me on getting featured, even if I did miss its time in the spotlight. This is an honour I never thought I'd have the privilege to accept.

Thanks to this wonderful guy for editing!

When Diamond Tiara moves to Manehattan, Silver Spoon is worried that their friendship won't be able to stand the distance.

[Author's Note: My failed attempt at something other than pure sadness.]

Who is Discord? We all know him as a sinister embodiment of chaos and disharmony, but what was he before that?

This is the journal he kept over the many years of his life, in which we will find a story not many know. Perhaps, in the end, Discord is not the bad guy after all.
