It's been many years since Bright Mac and Pear Butter disappeared. Everyone had assumed they died, lost to Timberwolves on a fateful night. But what if that wasn't the case?

A story which takes place immediately following the Changeling reformation. A commission for Sunset_Shimmer83!

It's only been a month.

It's two in the morning.

Twilight can't sleep.

A tribute to my late dog, Cody.

All good things must come to an end.

What if Twilight never became a Princess? In this alternate world, she too experiences the ravages of time. As her life draws to a close, Twilight Sparkle reminisces on the ponies she's touched... and the ponies she had to learn to let go of.

This fic was written while S2 was still airing. I've cleaned it up a little, but otherwise this is the original story.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders dismissed the tales of the mythical creature Krumple Horn as nothing more than spooky folklore. However, a bone-chilling encounter on a frosty Hearth's Warming night may change the young filly's opinion.

Part of Serina's Hearth's Warming Eve Collection for 2023.

Inspiration

A certain pink prancing pony ventures forth into the streets of Ponyville in search of a very special parcel! She is a mare on a mission! Nothing would stop her! That was a Pinkie Promise!

Beta Reader: The amazing Emtu

Roseluck has decided to move to Ponyville to be with her two sisters. Fed up with city life, she is ready to kick back and enjoy the slow and calm countryside life.

There's just a tiny problem with the house she's looking at buying. It's nothing though. It's really nothing. There's just a lot of closet space — too much closet space.

Is she just overreacting, or is it actually weird to have an endless void in your closet?

Most ponies seem to love like the sun, a single spot of intense, blazing passion. Starlight Glimmer is different. Her love feels like planets in the night sky. So many scattered lights, so far out of reach, and so hard to tell from the fixed stars.

Fortunately, she has a teacher who's very good at astronomy.

An entry in Bicyclette's Polyship Contest, written at the last minute because that's when the idea came to me. Rated Teen for frank discussion of physical attraction and a brief mention of suicidal ideation. Takes place immediately after "Uncommon Bond" (S7E24, the one with Starlight's favorite board game.)

Now with a reading by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan.

Starlight Glimmer has been a great and reliable guidance counselor for Princess Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship ever since its inception. She always went the extra mile for her students and prided herself on always being available to them without complaints. She even had to learn it was okay to not be available to them sometimes.

Starlight has also never received a raise, even though the school has been open for well over a year.

Upon learning of Starlight's non-existent raises despite her excelling and working hard as a guidance counselor, Trixie Lulamoon lost it. Despite Starlight desperately pleading with her to calm down, the Great and Furious Trixie stormed to Twilight's office and demanded the bewildered alicorn inside for answers and to pay up. Saying Trixie didn't like Twilight's reason for why she hadn't done it would be the understatement of the century.

Celestia talks to Luna after she sends Twilight a living pony as a Hearth's Warming gift. Things only go downhill from there.
