Rainbow Dash and Applejack have cherished the years gone by at one another’s side, but beneath the wear of time, the fuel that is love can turn to ash and smother the flames they hold dear.

Beyond the smoke rising from the cinders, they face an uncertain future. Now, they must come to terms with the harsh truth that, sometimes, love alone isn't enough to keep a marriage burning bright.

Historian’s Note:
Spectrum of Gray occurs about fifteen years after Princess Twilight Sparkle’s ascension.

Anon-a-miss, the mysterious gossiper, plagues CHS. Caught as the perfect scapegoat, Sunset finds herself more shunned than ever before. While determined to clear her name, Sunset decides that first she needs a break. From everything. Back in the place she used to call home.

But as soon as Sunset leaves, her friends at CHS realize the depth of their mistake. Not just in accusing Sunset, but also in forgetting Sunset is not like any other human. As they try with all their might to earn back their friend's trust, they quickly come to learn that they know very little about Sunset and the world she hails from.

And worse for the girls, as Sunset begins to pick up the shards of her old life in Equestria, she begins to wonder whether she really wants to stay at CHS at all.

Every once in a while, I write something that:

1) Doesn't fit into a full story, or

2) Is a story that I was planning on writing, but ended up scrapping due to lack of interest before it ever even got into the publishing phase, or

3) Is just something that happens because I am dumb and occasionally impulsive.

So this is where I'm going to put them! I'll put more up as I fish it out, or in the future if I decide to write something but then lose the inspiration.

There'll be an occasional teen bit in here, but don't expect anything terribly offensive, and nothing mature.

Dr Atmosphere is in control of the madhouse now! Mare-Do-Well will have to pull out every trick in the book to defeat his master plan! Mare-Do-Well is based off the Mare-Do-Well in the fanfic Waking Nightmares by KnightMysterio. Moderate swearing. Nothing too bad though. Cover by lordbojangles or something like that.

This is a collection of short stories about the first dates of some of Equestria's couples.

More stories are going to be added! So consider giving this story a follow to keep
you updated!

For all things, there is a last time…

Life is made up of these last times, but we can't know when they will be. There will, for each of you, be a last day that you walk out of your apartments or dorms. There will be a last day you see someone who is now a friend.

There will be a last day that we all meet here, on this odd little slice of the web. There will be a last day that I write a blog. There will be a last story that I submit... there will be a last day that I sign on. The same goes for you.

Six mares. Fifteen pairings. One (insane) fanfic.

Inspired in part by Ringcaat's The Combinatorics Project (and Quill's overwhelming love of all things Joyce), each chapter of Last Kisses takes one possible mane six ship and explores themes of endings, loss, and finality through their very last kiss. There are only two rules:
1) Each chapter is written in a style that reflects the couple's dynamic, or the story being told.
2) Each chapter must end when the kiss is over. No aftermath. No time to think it through. End of the kiss, end of the chapter.

Last Kisses is written as a loving tribute to the works of James Joyce, and was supposed to be written as part of the celebrations of Bloomsday 2015.

While cleaning the farm house's attic one day, Applejack comes across an old trunk full of maps, pieces of armor, even a sword. According to Granny Smith the trunk belonged to her ancestor, Apple Slice. She digs through the contents, eager to learn more about her ancestor and near the bottom she spots a worn leather bound book. It's pages tell the tale of a fantastic quest to reclaim a homeland, filled with monsters of all shapes, and perils of all sizes. A most unexpected journey indeed.

This is the story of how long ago, one unassuming normal in every way farm-mare came to shape the history of all Equestria. How two races divided by war and fear were united by a forbidden love, and the struggle of a Unicorn to unite Equestria against the coming night.

An adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit set into the world of My Little Pony, based on the movies directed by Peter Jackson, with changes made to do justice to the mlp mythos and canon. The races of middle earth translate as follows.

Hobbits and Men will be earth ponies and pegasi
Wizards shall be Unicorns
Elves will be Deer
Dwarves will be Diamond Dogs
Orcs will be Centaurs, and Goblins Gargoyles.
Dragons of course, will be Dragons.

This story is a sequel to I'd Do Her

Note: Reading the prequel first is highly recommended.

With her dare complete, Rainbow Dash decides to get even with Applejack, but her plan... backfires a little.

Rainbow Dash was Fluttershy's friend. She had promised they would always stick together, and she was determined to help the pegasus in any way she could, no matter what it cost her.

One day, Applejack was petrified by a cockatrice in the Everfree forest.
It was a long time before she was ever revived.

A story of moving through lives and the bonds forged in-between.

Was begun before the season four finale, so disregard anything in canon relating to Tirek. He does not exist in this story's timeline.
