Lyra experiences cramps at wrong place and time.

WARNING: Contains female period struggles.

Set weeks after the Friendship Games, Flash Sentry, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, Bon Bon (Sweetie Drops), Lyra Heartstrings and Derpy (Muffins) spend some time together at Sugarcube Corner, discussing the outcome of the Games. Well, one thing in particular.

This idea is noncanon and is made solely for your amusement.

Once again, Flash Sentry walked into Twilight Sparkle. However, this time, she was a different Twilight than the one to whom he was accustomed. Sadly, no one thought to tell him that. Now he needs to make it up to this Twilight... assuming he can find her.

And get her to listen to him.

And just how does all of this work, exactly?

(Note: Sunset also makes a significant appearance, but I hit the character tag cap.)

Flash Sentry and Cloudkicker spend Hearthswarming Night together and exchange gifts.

Flash Sentry wasn't there for his sister when she got her cutie mark, but he went to see her as soon as he got the chance. Even so, he worries that he and Scootaloo may drift apart over time.

With that in mind, they begin to talk about what their cutie marks have in common.

A super late reaction to Crusaders Of The Lost Mark, as well as the fact that Scootaloo's cutie mark bears a few surprising similarities to a certain other pony's mark.

It's been years since Flash saw that mare, and he's still never forgotten about her.
Maybe that will change....

For the Unofficial October Crack Ships Inc contest.

Now with A Dramatic Reading!

Having been turned down by Twilight, Flash finds comfort in an unlikely source, Crystal Prep's resident rocker girl, Lemon Zest.

Sunset has had the same jacket ever since she came to Canterlot High. Rarity and the girls want to treat her to some new clothes, but some things are too important to be replaced.

Lightning Dust has been in a bit of a rut ever since getting kicked out of the Wonderbolt Academy. Day after day, she's been sticking to a strict exercise regimen under the guidance of Cloudsdale's premier personal trainer, Haymaker. Her hope is that she'll unlock her true potential and show Haymaker how awesome she is, thus prompting him to use his connections to get her back into the Wonderbolts. No matter how many times Haymaker tells her it's impossible, Lightning simply refuses to listen.

Then one fateful night, Lightning Dust's training is interrupted by the appearance of her greatest idol, Wind Rider. It turns out he too has difficulty accepting reality, and he has his own, more nefarious schemes to get himself back in the game. Haymaker sees this as his last chance to save Lightning Dust from walking Wind Rider's path. And if that means rubbing salt in a few wounds and shattering a few dreams, then so be it.

As the Hearth's Warming season approaches, even Sunset Shimmer is affected by the season of love and friendship. When she speaks one-on-one with Flash Sentry for the first time and they go out on the town, they end up sharing a cold night together that soon turns hot and reminds her that she wasn't always alone.
