For all her life, she has never understood why.

Now, after her latest freak accident, she will.

(A gentle warning: contains psychological horror and mention of but not graphic depiction of sexual activity.)

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

I know, pretty inventive title, right? Sometimes, while in the middle of a story or just brushing my teeth in the shower, lyrics will pop into my head and I'll have to write them down before I forget them. I've been debating it for a while, but whatever, I've posted just about everything else here already so what's the harm in posting these as well? Hope you enjoy 'em!

~ ~ ~

The "Tragedy", "Sad", and "Dark" tags are applied more out of a relation to the backstory behind the subject matter than anything else. In the end, we all know that Cele and Luna managed to make amends and that the truly loyal never need to worry about being betrayed.

Rated Teen for crude language.

Fluttershy has always been quiet, but nopony knows why.

When Dash finds her friend on the verge of a mental breakdown, she learns more about Fluttershy's past than she ever wanted to.

Will Rainbow find a way to pull her friend out of the spiralling depression, or will she succumb to what she discovers?

A/N: This is a story I wrote a long time ago. Tried to salvage what I could to make it readable with the help of Slashawar. The story is to put on 'Hiatus' as I'm uncertain if I will pick this up again.

This story is a sequel to Blossoming Roses


It's been nearly a year since Prince Blueblood and Fancy Pants were properly introduced at the Grand Galloping Gala, and to say it's been a big year for both is an understatement. It was no joke just what kind of field day the media got from their ever growing interest surrounding Prince Blueblood's newly arisen homosexuality, and boy-toy is the by far one of the most affectionate terms he's been called lately. At the very least Fancy Pants is supportive and kind, as usual. However it's evident that something has been bothering him lately, and even Blueblood has been having trouble deducing why.

Sonata couldn't believe it. She wasn't smiling, she wasn't happy, and was clearly shattered. She could only think of one solution: Jump. Finish the job. Besides, who would care that she's dead? Nobody liked her anyways... except the ones that cared.
