When things don't go the way we hoped for, it's easy for ones mind to become clouded with grief. It's times like these that all seems lost with no way of recovery. However, sometimes, the thing that one needs most is someone to talk to. Someone who will listen to your aching heart. When the invasion of Canterlot didn't go as Chrysalis had planned, she placed a heavy weight on her heart that nopony would ever be willing to lift, nopony, except Doughnut Joe, that is.

Wet. It’s the first thing I can remember. The water of the Mirror Pool dripped off of me as I stepped out and took my first breath. After that, it was just sort of a blur for a while.

What if instead of the real Pinkie Pie, one of the duplicates passed the test? They'd do anything to survive unexposed. And Pinkie's friends would do anything to get her back.

Now in Twilight's Library and Twenty Great Stories.

Princess Celestia has gazed into the fiery pits of Tartarus itself, gone hoof-to-hoof with gods and demons. She is the embodiment of light, slayer of all shadows, and fears nothing.

So what happens when she finds something she does, indeed, fear?

Rarity has always been Ponyville's most elegant and fashionable resident. Her generosity knows no bounds, but what caused her to have such aspirations of fame and glamour? Sometimes to find the answers, you need to go beyond surface deep.

There’s one particular pony who is unaccustomed to defeat. She has never backed down, never given up, and always plowed on through adversity with a shining determination. Even when detained and questioned about her friends whereabouts and actions, Rainbow Dash remains steadfast, loyal, and never knows when to quit.

This was just a small idea I had while brainstorming. It's a story to get me back in to the creative description mode that I need to fall in to write a really really really good story.

What was I supposed to tag this anyway? Oh well. Critical comments preferred.

Sergeant Brick Wall devoted his whole life to training Princess Luna's honor guard, even though the Princess wasn't there. It takes loyalty to wait a lifetime for somepony who may never come.

How's it being the last blank flank in town, apart from a pair of ulta-annoying twins? It's annoying, it's frustrating and it's draining to come up with new ways to find your special talent, especially if the thing everypony thought was going to be yours turns out not to be.

Well, Apple Bloom has enough of her miserable existence and decides to head off into the Everfree Forest, trying to get a cutie mark in finding something she hopes she doesn't expect. For what would make a better Cutie Mark than the unknown?

Nothing goes wrong, except a lot of things, possibly everything.

Princess Celestia is lectured on history. Turns out she missed some things.

Started as a prompt in the Twilestia collab that got a little long.

Even after the disappearance of all but one of the ponies in Equestria, the world moves on. As the last pony in Equestria, Applejack must come to terms with painful discoveries about her past and with time, move on as well.

Time has come once again for Princess Twilight Sparkle to band together with her friends and save Equestria from another threat looming on the horizon. However, when she sends for help from the Element of Harmony, she gets a response she'd never even considered before:

No.
