It shouldn't have been a big deal. Celestia was kidnapped or knocked out or just generally made to seem powerless by whatever idiot with ill intent decided to show up on a nearly weekly basis. As the mighty and immortal Sun Princess, she could escape at any time, but she was happy to play these little games. The daring rescues and bloodless battles gave her ponies such a sense of confidence and purpose!
But this one didn't go as planned. One small, stupid mistake got her thrown to the twisted reaches of the world-prison, Tartarus. Now alone, unarmed, and barely more than mortal, Celestia wakes in a living landscape where everything has every reason to hate her.
And, far worse, she has accidentally picked up a passenger.
Sidenote: This a repost (I tried to go through official channels, I promise!) of a story I wrote long, long ago on an account I foolishly deleted. Back in those days, Tartarus hadn't shown up in an actual episode yet. It's not exactly an alternate universe situation, but it has nothing to do with the canon portrayal of the place.
Super amazing cover art by Cold In Gardez.
Eight years have passed since Wallflower Blush was rescued from a life on the streets by Sunset Shimmer. Learning to cope with the traumas that put her there—along with navigating a new relationship—wasn't easy. The life Wallflower lives now isn't perfect, but she's proud of how far she's come. With a loving relationship, a fulfilling job, and good friends, Wallflower is content to enjoy the stability offered by clinging endlessly and desperately to the present.
Then, she finds something Sunset has been keeping secret from her, and everything changes.
Now Wallflower is determined to stop Sunset from making the biggest mistake of her life—asking Wallflower to marry her.

Since the dawn of Equestria, the Agency has protected the realm from every manner of hideous magical creature. Largely by putting them various places where ponies probably won't go.
Forcibly recruited via a burlap sack, Fluttershy is assigned to inventory a site that has become a center of magical gastropod evolution--only to have her plane shot down by a mysterious unicorn.
Injured and trapped in the Forest of Snails, she finds that there was far more in those swampy, moist lands than she was led to believe.
That isn't Fiddlesticks. That isn't her. That isn't her. That isn't her.

Welcome to Ponyville, Population One.
While playing a game of scrabble with Rarity, Twilight Sparkle accuses her of making up a word.
Rarity disagrees.
Dedicated to Carabas.
Special thanks to SigmasonicX for the prompt, and RBDash47 for the scrabble rules nitpicking.
Fancy Pants is tired of perfection. He knows very well that many don’t achieve the success he has, that fewer have the popularity that he does, and that none can claim to have a wife like his.
A humble pony he is not.
Yet, his boredom has faced against all of those niceties, ripped them to meaningless shreds and came out the victor. So he decided to take the reins of his life for once, no matter the consequences.
At least, that's what he told the warden of Canterlot Correctional Facility.
Many thanks for RDT for helping with the editing, and VoxAdam for giving me permission to inspire this Blueblood on his!
