Twilight Sparkle regrets botching her romantic confession to Rarity. As a joke, Rarity proposes a simple and elegant solution: break up and try it again.

She just wasn't prepared for Twilight to agree to it.

Set after “Practice Makes Perfect”. It is not necessary in any way to have read that story to get this one.

Includes a recording of a LIVE-READING of the story by the author herself, which is the recommended way of experiencing the story. I promise you. I do a fantastic Rarity voice.

Cover art by the wonderfully wonderful Jykinturah. Audio credits go to lilfunkman and Swan Song.

On an expedition to explore the deeper depths of the Castle of the Two Sisters, Twilight finds something far older.

In the quiet, she will be tested. It may prove her undoing.

She will not return the same.

After Summer Sirocco's expulsion from the Royal Guard Academy, a captain of the Night Guard offers her an unexpected alternative. The choice: sacrifice her relationships and abandon her identity, or walk away from a singular opportunity to escape the pony she never wanted to be. It dredges up difficult questions of how she sees herself and who she really is—and her answers won't be easy either.

What did happen to the "other" Sunset Shimmer? The human one? The one who isn't a pony? Where is she?

Sunset is pretty sure she knows the answer.

This story is a sequel to The Twilight Enigma

More of a mid-quel than a sequel, really. A Slice o' Life which takes place somewhere in the middle of Chapter 22 of The Twilight Enigma, and demonstrates that quiet enjoyment may be found in the middle of desperate adventures. Even pirates need to kick back and relax sometimes.

This story is a sequel to Roam-Springa

Mayor Mare needs to find herself again on the map of life.

It's easier if she goes with somepony who can read a compass.

Written as a side story for Pascoite's Roam-Springa

Edited by the marvelous and never sufficiently celebrated Carabas

"It's nonsense," the Princess states, "he can't think, how is he allowed to have an opinion?"
After numerous editorials published on The Broken Knot, the headless author seems to have incurred the wrath of Ponyville's local purple alicorn. She claims he cannot form an opinion, being a being deprived of a brain and therefore incapable of thought, and that the statements made in his articles are always wrong, and often-times harmful. No official response has come yet. <full story inside>
