Realising the rest of her friends are selfishly aging without her, Twilight takes special measures to make sure this never happens again.

Written for the 1000 words contest. I don't really have much else to say, just... 'enjoy'.

And here's a reading by a movie fan by the name of Zachary for those who can't be bothered to take on the gargantuan task of physically reading a thousand words. I feel your pain. Linkie

Have you ever felt cheated out of your destiny? Felt like greatness should have been yours? 

I have - no, I do - or I was. 

It's my destiny to be great. I know that now. Or maybe I've always known and just kept holding myself back. The worst - no, the best - part is that nobody knows who I am. That almost makes it too easy. 

But I'm going to change that. You'll see. Soon everyone will know who I am. They will see that I'm extraordinary. 

I will finally be recognized for the greatness I deserve.

A big thanks to Uz Naimat, Brony1337, TOA, and Fan Without a Face for their help with editing and providing the cover art.

And be sure to check out the sequel Paralysis a commissioned request I made for Novelle Tale to write.

When Sunset Shimmer, the current protege of Princess Celestia, befriends and agrees to engage in magic lessons with Twilight Sparkle, an introverted filly with a great desire to learn everything possible about magic, she quickly learns that she is far from a normal unicorn, which leads to speculation upon Canterlot society. Speculations that lead Sunset to questioning her friendship with Twilight while also struggling to keep her bond with Princess Celestia as her mentor strong.

GRIMDARK

On a clear and cloudless night, a young girl starts for home somewhat later than usual. She knows her parents aren't worried. They know she can be trusted. They know what a good girl she is.

The streets are empty, the stores are all closed...

...and someone watches from the shadows as a girl walks home alone at midnight.

Applejack recounts the events surrounding her cousin's death to an interested stranger over a bottle of hard cider.

A short tale of unspoken retribution, wild-west style.

This story is a sequel to An Apple Sleep Experiment

It’s been seven years since the great massacre, and ponies are still trying to cope in the aftermath. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, and her friends (minus one obvious apple) are preparing for the annual memorial, when an unexpected castle guest threatens to disrupt the peace in Ponyville forever.

This is the OFFICIAL Sequel to my previous story "An Apple Sleep Experiment", both of which have audio/visual adaptations on Youtube! For the sequel, it will be in four parts, linked here:

Based on a story idea someone suggested

Queen Novo banishes Twilight and her friends to the deepest reaches of the ocean. In this dark and desolate place of water and silence, giving in to one's animal instincts seems like the obvious course of action.

Thus Spike awakens, trapped and alone in an unfamiliar place. But as he quickly learns, it's a lot worse than that.

Blueblood has an inherent love for the orchestra, but he does not care to attend the symphony. He would much rather have private performances. Sequel to Play for Me.

After the events in Play For Me and Blueblood's Pets Octavia has a few quirks. She stares at things that aren't there, refuses to eat, hoards candles, and won't so much as look at her cello. Vinyl Scratch is doing her best to look after her.

Octavia has no idea where she is. She has no contact with the outside world. There is no hope of escape. There is only one instruction: "Play".
