"Our life is a journey
through winter and night
we search for our way
in a sky without light..."

The old stories tell of the Mask of Lies, that entraps its wearer as certainly as it entraps everything around it. The worst lies of all are the ones we tell ourselves.

History isn't fair.
Books tell of the terrible spirit of disharmony, Discord, and how he ruled Equestria in a perpetual state of unrest and unhappiness.
But, what is there to be found when we delve deeper into the past? What are the origins of this mysterious and chaotic creature?
Take a dive into the past, to the time forgotten by all, except one.

It's been five years since she first met them, and most of Twilight Sparkle's friends have found love, leaving her feeling left out and unwanted. The Winter's Eve Ball promises a magical night of mystique and romantic wonder, but will Twilight's romantic notions get the best of her? Based on the song by the Fireman.

Originally published on Equestria Daily November 29, 2011.

Twilight’s Hearts and Hooves gift to Rainbow Dash is a journey through their dreams. They can do anything anywhere they want.

Princess Luna arrives in Ponyville and begins to do wonderful things in the life of Twilight Sparkle. They become close friends...maybe even more, but when Twilight discovers that Luna may be after the throne the unicorn must choose whether to follow her head...or her heart.

Twilight and her five friends are transported during a botched spell, across dimensions to... Ponyville, Equestria? But not the same one that they knew. Sitting on a bench is Harpsy and Babar. The Doctoress avoids apples from an aspiring Applebuck. And in a library across town, six stallions join their forces as they try to decipher the appearance of filly look-alikes of themselves around Ponyville!

"Her parents hadn’t come close to telling us what had happened. As I read her newest letter I couldn't believe what she was telling me. This kid hadn’t 'had an accident'… this kid, damn, this kid had been buckin' broken... she’d been broken…"

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

I try to write a shipfic about Pinkie Pie, but she has other plans...

Sometimes, the best memories are those born out of suffering. All you need to bring those memories to mind, is a friend who raises things an octave higher.

Author's Notes:
Here it is! After a month of constant reading of this fanfic, getting two proofreaders (JohnPerry and BronyMaster) and a request from the amazing artist called Frees, I am very proud to present the 4th entry into my 'Remembrance Saga' featuring Vinyl Scratch and Octavia.

What started out as a stray idea in my head has grown into, what I think, is one of the best stories I have ever written. I really hope you enjoy this fanfiction and if you do, be sure to check out the rest of the fics in the 'Remembrance' saga on my profile! Thank you for reading!
