Twilight Sparkle travels to the underworld in a desperate bid to bring her beloved back from the dead. All she has to do is follow the terms dictated by the underworld goddess.

Simple, right?

Based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Big thanks to the ever wonderful Carabas for editing and also for writing a few descriptions on account of me being a whiny baby who hates describing places.

Discord has trapped Twilight in a vast, seemingly unending library. This library has a copy of every spell checked book that could possibly exist. Twilight's only way out of the library would be to find the book that explains how to escape. But when every single idea, story, possibility, and random book exists, how can she find the one book that can teach her how to leave this unfathomably large library?

This fanfic is a crossover based on the ideas presented in the short story, "The Library of Babel," by Jorge Luis Borges, and influenced by "A Short Stay in Hell" by Steven L. Peck.

The sequel to this story is also sequel to A Place for Pinkie.

With Celestia and Luna retired, Princess Twilight Sparkle thought it would be a lovely idea to invite them to Hearth's Warming Helper with her friends. Of course she had to end up with Celestia the first time. How can she manage to find the right gift to thank her for so many years of tutelage and guidance? Discord has a simple answer: Time Heist.

Created for the 2019 Jinglemas event as a gift for Unified Dreams who wanted a story with Twilight Sparkle and Discord. I hope they enjoy it.

A story of living life.

Rainbow Dash knows how to be loyal, to pull some sick tricks, and to go fast. She, however, is completely clueless in the matter of chair building. Luckily, with a little help from her friend Applejack, perhaps the two mares will get it assembled in time for the big event.

Inspiration taken from 6-D Pegasus' Rainbow Dash vs Chair, in that it has a chair and a Rainbow Dash.

There's an old book that's falling apart. Twilight wants to copy it down to preserve it. But it needs to be as accurate and precise as possible, to preserve the state of the original. That shouldn't be too hard. After all, it's not like the text will change whenever she looks away.

Right?
