Twilight didn’t know what to say. How easy it sounded, to just not think about things that hurt, but thoughts were all she had.

Thoughts were the only thing that were hers, for better or worse.

Special thanks to lilfunkman for the cover art and for generally being the best support I could ask for.

Once upon a time there was a little pink pony who lived on a rock farm and wanted nothing more than to be happy.

Big Mac decides it's high time he went courting. Working on the Pie farm seems like a fine way to prove his worth and get to know Marble and her family. She's a pretty, demure little mare and she seems to like him. He does not foresee any major obstacles.

He did not foresee Limestone Pie.

One day, just like that, Celestia decides she's going to go mad with power.
