Sunset Shimmer had one friend before the events of Equestria Girls, a diary. She abandoned the book in her spiral into darkness but now, with a chance of redemption, she turns back to her old friend for help. Does writing in her diary help her recover her life? Will she be able to overcome her memories, feelings, and school bullies to make deep connections with her new friends? It's all in her diary, all you have to do is read it.

This story is an epistolary, written entirely from the perspective of Sunset Shimmer making diary entries. For those of you unfamiliar with this format it means you are getting both the story as she is writing it as well as the emotions and thoughts she has while reviewing the events she is writing about. Half the story is how and why she writes what she writes.

A special thank you to EQD Pre-reader 63.546. When I submitted this story to EQD he saw it as close enough to post that he took extra time to help me touch up the story. As it turns out, he helped me 3-4 years ago on the ponychan boards when I first drafted Excessive Worry. It literally took me years to get good enough to make good on his notes and now it's been featured by groups such as the Seattle's Angels.

This story is a sequel to Young Eyes

A few weeks after meeting Dust Bunny, Dinky Hooves is introduced to a few more unseen spirits that reside in Ponyville. And they're all very excited to meet her.

A short and sweet story about a first date.

Also thanks to my followers for putting up with me lately.

After getting blasted by a wave of happiness, Sombra wakes up months later with a completely different personality and is forced to live with the memories of what he did and what he was. However, with a little patience, and a lot of help, maybe he can change that, and become something a bit better.

Fun Fact: This is the first story (and currently one of only three) on this website tagged with Redheart and Sombra.

One normal and completely average morning, everything went wrong. Rarity arrives at the Castle of Friendship to pick up Spike for their weekly gem hunting trip, only to find that Spike has locked himself in his room and Twilight is working herself into a frenzy in the library. As she tries to piece together what happened that morning, and mend a damaged friendship, she'll make a number of startling revelations.

Some of them bigger than others.

Anthea, the adopted daughter of Fluttershy, finally gets to spend the entire day with her new coltfriend, Turquoise Blitz. However, their fun day is cut short by a storm that hits Ponyville. Not being able to get home because of the storm, Turquoise spends the night and helps Annie overcome her fear of the dark.

Look! I actually wrote another story. For those who don't watch me on deviantART or aren't familiar with these Next Gen characters, I highly suggest you check out their bios first. You don't need to but I feel like it'll make the story more enjoyable.

(Feedback on my writing in general is greatly appreciated. It's definitely something I'd love to improve on.)

This story is a sequel to A Mother's Love...

Even at the lively young age of five young Crystal Dream has more than her share of inner turmoil as the daughter of Celestia, Princess of the sun. With three princesses for aunts, one of whom seems Pony Hell bent on giving her a lifelong speech impediment and a multitude of other aunts and uncles that includes a fire breathing dragon, a pet phoenix(which is actually her mother’s), one of the worst given names in the history of ever(even if it really isn’t that bad), the deceased former ruler of the changelings for a biological mother, and a god of chaos who cringes every time she calls him daddy, she will have as much fun spending a day at the library as Pinkie Pie would have riding a roller coaster made of cake into a mountain of chocolate frosting... well maybe not that much fun, but she will certainly have no shortage of filly sized adventures.

Well due to popular demand… and the fact that I really really wanted to write this… here it is folks… sort of. This is part one of a series of continuations for my most successful story, “A Mother’s Love…”. I say part one because while this will be a collection of short stories, it will only be dealing with a small portion of Crystal’s life. I have about three other planned collections in this continuity each for different parts of her life.

This one being about Crystal at or around the age of five. Meaning this one basically gets to be plain Jane trashy cuteness(It really won’t be that trashy and it certainly won’t be plain). As for the other collections… I still haven’t decided what I’ll do. Part of me wants to release them all at once and just add stories as I write them fitting them in to wherever they fit. Another part of me wants to only release the next collection after the current set is finished.

I’m always happy to hear feedback and any opinions on that matter.

Oh and most importantly of all, I feel the need to thank everyone who read “A Mother’s Love…”… again. All the feedback I received is what has truly inspired me to create this. I don’t know if it will be as well received, but suffice to say I am happy to be writing it. So because I don’t really have the time and energy to provide a shout out to each and every one of the folks who Faved and Commented I just have to hope all of you get to read this so you can know how amazing I think all of you are. So here it goes, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for showing support to an unknown author such as myself. I hope to prove I can continue to produce stories that you will enjoy.

Now on to our feature presentation... or out presentation of features? Okay these are the lovely people who created the vectors I used for the cover art.
The background was found Here... that said I did add one star to the night sky...
The Celestia Vector was from Here
The Filly Art is a bit complicated. Since she is an OC of my own design there isn't any art of her... so I found this vector and then I performed some cosmetic surgery. I altered the eyes obviously, and then I altered the coat and mane color and flipped her around to face in the other direction. Still I am in no way responsible for the original art so send the real artist some love.

Party Favor has a problem.

Despite coming from a family of mages and magicians, he has difficulty using magic. Scratch that, his horn doesn't even work. In fact, for all the nothing that his horn does, he might as well be an earth pony. And that easily makes him the laughingstock of the other unicorns, including his brother.

But perhaps his talents lie not with magic, but with something else entirely.

Inspired by a random observation while watching "The Cutie Map".

Pinkie Pie is tucking the Cake twins in bed, but they are too rowdy to sleep. So Pinkie decides to read them a few stories to calm them down. Using famous fairy tales for reference, Pinkie decides to put her own twist into the stories. That can only mean one thing:

Anything can happen!

This story is a sequel to A War of Words - The Opening of the Guard

For centuries, the stallions of the Royal Guard have protected Equestria from every danger imaginable.
Now they face a new threat to their position that will not be so easy to defeat.

Mares.

The story of four mares who answer the call to guard Princess Luna, and the troubles they go through to gain acceptance and respect in their new jobs. Or it could be considered to be the story of four interlopers into a traditionally male role and the underhanded tricks used to secure their position despite their obvious unsuitability for the job. Pick one.
