an entry for the Imposing Sovereigns IV contest under Midnight Sparkle/Unorthodoxy

Twilight casts a new spell labeled as a "pick-me-up" that, among other things, gives her the ability to smell color and causes her to lose all meaning of the words "personal space."

Rainbow Dash can’t find her sunglasses. Rarity can’t find her fainting couch. Pinkie Pie can’t find, well, everything. Something’s wrong with the space where ponies store their favorite belongings, but will Twilight Sparkle be able to figure out why?

A magazine article inspires Rainbow Dash to ask Fluttershy out on a whim. Which is all very well, but when Fluttershy takes her up on it, and Rainbow actually has to consider the practicalities of the whole 'dating' thing...? She didn't think that far ahead.

Maud Pie is a geology student with super strength and an inability to display emotion. Trixie Lulamoon is a stage magician in possession of a grimoire inhabited by the spirit of a minor demon. Starlight is that demon. They fight crime.

Oh, and also they’re girlfriends. All three of them.

Now with cover art, thanks to The Sleepless Beholder!

When Twilight Sparkle decided to ask Rainbow Dash for relationship advice she knew that things would most likely end in disaster. But is it possible for the awkward unicorn to somehow claim victory from such a ridiculous plan?

Huge thanks to The Sleepless Beholder for prereading the fic and to Punished Bean for the cover art!

It's been over 8 years since the portal to Equestria closed forever, and Sunset Shimmer is doing better than ever.

A snippet I dug up from my archives, stripped of context, and posted as a tribute to lost potential.

For a year now Twilight has watched as her good friends Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer enjoyed a loving, tender romantic relationship. But when Starlight comes home one day cursing her girlfriend and declaring their relationship has ended, Twilight must rise to the occasion and try to help these two move past their disagreements and mend fences before their love is lost to the ages.

But perhaps some wounds are too great to be healed with kind works and civil discussions.

This story is a sequel to Sugarless Gumption

Even after the capital-letter-earning fiasco that was the Sugarless Incident, Twilight just can't get the question out of her mind. Given Sunset's magical metabolism, what other culinary conjurations are made possible by harnessing Equestrian magic?

Pinkie's happy to help her find out. Her other friends just wish they knew about it ahead of time.

Note: No characters were fused in the making of this story.
