When Sonata Dusk walks into Sugarcube Corner during Pinkie Pie's shift on a Friday afternoon, it seems like a normal, routine event like with any other customer.

When Sonata comes back the next week - and the next - and Pinkie eventually asks her out - it's more fun than the colour pink or warm caramel-fudge swirl.

Neither has any idea what they've gotten themselves into.

This is a minorly-altered canon (but probably not entirely alternate universe) fic in which Pinkie and Sonata meet two weeks after the Fall Formal and five months before the Battle of the Bands. Some artistic liberties with the Rainbow Rocks movie have been taken, but with caution to keep close to the original plot, and so this story is rife with movie SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

A special shout out to my dear girlfriend Cynthia for not only providing some BEAUTIFUL cover art for this fic, but also for reading along and providing moral support as I wrote, and to Monochromatic for helping me through the process of publishing to FiMFic for the first time!

Immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just ask someone who would know. Like... Apple Bloom, for instance.

Written for the February Writeoff - Closing Time

Diamond Tiara only wanted to get her best friend a great gift for Hearths Warming Day. Sadly, Silver Spoon wasn't too fond of the gift, so Diamond decided to simply give it away.

Worst. Decision. Ever.

Cutie Mark Crusaders Time Travelers, yay! ...Wait, what?

When older versions of Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Spike appear from the future, Twilight and her friends are in for the time of their lives. The Crusaders have gone back in time on a mission that may decide the fate of time itself! They are fearless, they are resourceful, they... completely messed up right from the start, huh?

Now it's a literal race against time to set things right, as powerful enemies from the future attempt to claim the past for themselves. So join the Elements of Harmony and the Crusaders of tomorrow in an epic story of danger, hope, despair, betrayal, revenge, love and swashbuckling high adventure!

Just remember the golden rule: Time travel doesn't make sense!

A collection of all the stuff I wrote, but then decided not to use. Maybe these didn't hit the sweet spots I was looking for, maybe they're a touch too long, maybe I was just having a bad day when I wrote them and thought they were worse than they are; regardless, they're here. Hopefully, you'll maybe get some enjoyment out of them, or better yet, offer some feedback that helps me refine them into something usable.

Edit: May well become a place where I put any random one-off practice pieces I don't intend to use for anything, but which haven't been 'rejected' per se.

Various characters, pairings, lengths and origins; all will be signposted.

A set of shortfics, typically in the region of 500 to 1500 words, using themes taken from a deck of pre-shuffled tarot cards as the stimulus. It will hopefully reach a grand total of 78 chapters, one for each card in both the minor and major arcanas. All chapters are self-contained and non-connected, bar the 16 court cards, which will form their own story arc since it's very difficult to utilise them as I would the other cards. Characters, genres and pairings vary by chapter, and, as usual, I have no idea what I'm doing so any advice you could toss my way is highly appreciated.

A note on nomenclature: You may notice that after the chapter name are the principle characters who star in it. If it's mainly shipping, I'll put (for example) "Fluttershy x Rarity"; if it's just interaction or the romance isn't very strong, I'll put something like "Fluttershy, Rarity."

Somepony struggles to remember their childhood. But something's wrong. The facts aren't lining up, and things are becoming blurred. What's at the bottom of this mystery?

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have settled into their relationship, and all seems well. But Dash feels like there's a problem in the life they've built for each other – and she doesn't know what it is.

In which Twilight is verbose and reads into things too much, and the stars are closer than they might seem.

2nd person story, not addressed to anon.

Rainbow Dash isn't afraid of anything, and she has better things to do than sit around worrying about some wussy emotions. But after reading the next Daring Do novel, she suddenly finds her feelings towards her friends changing- and not in ways she's comfortable with...

(May be subject to massive edits, depending on whether I can get over the obligatory irrational[?] hatred. Also, yes, I select the cover images pretty much at random.)
