Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have always been considered free spirits. Rainbow herself could never have thought she'd ever reanalyze her entire life for the sake of one person. But when she and Pinkie are put in charge of caring for a young sickly friend during the course of a legendary icestorm, the two learn quite a bit about self-sacrifice and growing up. Also there is a tortoise.

Authors Note:
I have the educational level of a kindergartner so if the story is kinda iffy you can blame the public education system! Hooray! In all seriousness I just wanted to write something cute.

edit:

the illustrations were sketches by me that were inked and colored by a friend who wishes, at the moment, to remain Anonymous. (bronies scare him).

Twilight struggles to find meaning in the universe, which most ponies call 'the Library'.

Inspired by The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges.
Proofreading by RaylanKrios.

It's not easy to go back to your life after a thousand years of insanity and exile. It's not easy for Luna to even leave her room. All the same, there's a special somepony that Luna desperately wants to get closer to, and that's worth facing the outside for. All she has to do is get up the nerve to talk to her.

There's a rare Daring Do book in Canterlot Library, and Rainbow Dash just has to read it. However, just as Rainbow reaches for the book, it's pulled from the shelf by Moondancer, who offers a few options to tide her over.

Helping a lost filly find her way home should have been a walk in the park for Princess Twilight Sparkle, but this time things turned out to be a bit stranger than she was expecting.

Sunset Shimmer's friends meant the world to her. After having recently defeated the Dazzlings with the power of friendship she felt like her friendships with those five girls would last forever. Unfortunately, those friendships are gone now. After being successfully framed as the cyberbully Anon-a-miss, Sunset loses her friends and her purpose. To make matters worse Sunset knew who Anon-a-miss was, but nobody believed her. Can she still clear her name? Does it even matter anymore?

It's Sunset's first winter since being reformed, and her new friends are intent on her learning all about what she's been missing to help her get past her guilt over past actions. A chance encounter, however, leaves the girls stunned as they stumble across the human dimensions Sunset Shimmer, who is anything but what they expected.

I don’t know why I’m writing this. I don’t know if anypony will ever read it, or if there is anypony left who could ever read it. Some might see it as a way to keep my sanity in this place, but that implies that I have any sanity left to lose. I’m not so sure about that right now. I’m not sure about anything anymore.

My name is Sunset Shimmer, and I am the Princess of Equestria.

Written for FOME's "Imposing Sovereigns" Contest.

Princess Celestia has three bright fillies that she took in as her students. One will become a crazed unicorn bent on her views, one would transfer to another dimension, and the third would follow the destiny set out for her from the start. Over time, they become the best of friends. Can Twilight keep them close enough to eventually bring them back?

Princess Celestia has trained her three apprentices, Sunset, Trixie and Twilight, to become the newest generation of the Knights of the Realm, protectors of Equestria. Their abilities and morals are unquestionable, and they're also perfectly willing to become the heroes Equestria needs. However, something had to give, and in the process of turning them into the future Legendary Heroes, those three ended up becoming particularly eccentric in their methods and quirks. This is the start of a very silly era of heroes.
