After the most important night of her career is ruined and its saboteurs not even so much as punished, Octavia's life changes. She begins to pursue a path that has never been seen before in Canterlot, where concertos and rhapsodies give way to controversy and rebellion.

A path where symphonies are composed with cans of spray paint.

Rainbow Dash has a question that she desperately wants, needs answered. It could be amazing, earthshaking, life-changing, revelatory! She just needs to find somepony willing to give her the goods...

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

Living quietly in the Manehatten country is a little-known painter...who sees other ponies' dreams. Most of them are a little risqué. A few of them are utterly horrifying. And the only way she keeps herself sane is to paint them.

See them the way Reverie Dreamflight does...through the view from the window.

A series of shorter stories aimed at exploring the potential unmasked thoughts and desires of some of our favorite pastel equines...for better or worse.

Fluttershy gets more than she asked for when she visits the Library and hears moaning from behind the door. Concerned that Twilight may have developed a problem, Rarity and Rainbow Dash go and investigate.

My first FiM fic, actually my first fanfic period. A bit old, but I wanted to put something out there before I finish up one of my other works in process.

Octavia has been tuning her cello for way too long, and Lyra is getting sick of it.

Immortality doesn't just mean losing every pony close to you. It also means watching the world crumble to dust.

No matter how strong the bonds of friendship are, the events of life and the call of dreams can still pull friends apart. Only Twilight remains in Ponyville, and she wonders if she'll ever be able to be happy without her friends living in the same city.
