After many hard years of living with weak and stunted wings, Scootaloo finally decides to end her life. On her way to her grave, she wanders through a snowy Ponyville night, reflecting on the past that has haunted her life. But despite her determination, some friends are too stubborn to see that there are things too broken to fix, too proud to lay down their belief that you can be more than is possible. Some friends are just too loyal to let you go.

Big ponies probably didn’t get lost at all. Especially not in the city. Especially not at night.

Filly Bon-Bon often visits her grandmother in Manehattan. This year, she even gets to spend Nightmare Night there, and go trick-or-treating in the busiest city after Canterlot! Everything is going to be awesome!

That is, until she gets lost in the back alleys of the busiest city after Canterlot and meets a couple of working mares...

A fan-funded fiction. Based on the prompt 'Bon-Bon meets some hookers'. Not nearly as cracky or cloppy as it sounds.

Now with a full cast reading here.

Princess Luna raises the moon. She had not done it for a thousand years, and even after over a year of returning to doing so, it does not come quite so easily.

Princess Celestia raises the sun. She raised the moon for her sister when she was in exile. She worries just a bit too much about her little sister.

Princess Luna has had enough.

Sometimes, the meaning of a cutie mark isn't obvious. What does a bunch of stars have to do with being great at magic, after all?

For the most part, Twilight Sparkle never paid much mind to this question. A lot of cutie marks are abstract, after all. But while browsing the Star Swirl the Bearded wing of the Canterlot Archives, she finds an old book with a cover that matches her cutie mark perfectly.

Inside that dusty old tome, Twilight finds the secrets of a bygone age, answers to questions she never would have asked, and a terrifying vision of what could have happened to her.

The Apple sisters fall down a well and can't get out.
They argue about what truly matters in life
as rain falls and the water slowly rises around them.

And why is her inbox so full?
