Magic is limited only by the strength of the mind and the passion of the heart.

After the events of "Shipping and Handling", young Dinky Doo sets off to begin her first term of study at the most prestigious magic school in Equestria, Celestia's Academy for Gifted Unicorns.  The adventures that await her there will exceed even her wildest expectations, and a cast of colorful new characters will be by her side to share in them.

(This story is the sequel to "Shipping and Handling".  It's highly recommended you read that one first!)

Interested in joining more collabs?  Then come to The Collab Cage!  A group that hopes to be ALL things collab for this entire fandom!

The Album is a collaborative project between over seventy different authors.  This project was designed to not only create something entirely unique and creative, but to test these authors to write in a different manner than they might normally be used to.  The exercise was to take a single character--one per author and no repeats--and imagine a mental 'snapshot' of them during daily life, during a Moment we might not normally see or even think about, and write a story from said picture.  So enjoy this collection of short Slice of Life tales--and be sure to check out each author's page and stories.  They've worked hard to produce something amazing; please reward them for their effort!

Note: Individual Snapshots are posted in a random order (including my own), with one or two more added per day.  Character tags and Rating are subject to change, but each individual snapshot will be marked appropriately.  

There's still room for more; visit The Album and see if there's anypony remaining you would like to write.

Synopsis:

In anypony's life, there are the big days--tragedies and adventures, moments of loss and love, treasured memories to share and never forget.

But for every single day that comes once in a lifetime, there are hundreds that pass by unnoticed.  Sometimes the simplest of moments can have just as much importance and life as the dramatic ones.

Here one can find snapshots of these moments--the every day, often unseen or even unregarded days of the lives of a variety of ponies.

Because every picture, no matter how common, is worth a thousand words.

[Sequel to Treasure in the West] Braeburn was once a simple, humble farmer; not the type of pony one would look at twice. But a little over a year ago, all of that changed. Before then, he hadn't met the pony of his dreams. Before then, he hadn't discovered his lineage and new-found talent. Before then, he hadn't been prepared for the adventure that he was about to embark on. Now all the cards are on the table, and not just his life. Join Braeburn and Daring Do in this high-action conclusion to the Riflepony Series as they struggle with not only a new quest, but with fate as well. Old enemies have returned, and have formed a fearsome alliance. In the midst of chaos and absolute danger, Braeburn might have to break his one and only rule, as the new Colt of the West.

It has been over two hundred years since Discord, the god of chaos, and Nightmare Moon - or Pleasant Dreams as she's now known as - bringer of eternal night, were released from their prisons. Surprisingly, everything went better than expected; they have become successful co-rulers of Equestria. But that's not the shocking part. Twelve years ago, they had a child; Lucid Dream, a Draconequus filly with the powers of a god at her disposal. She'll be driving everybody up the walls, though she'll have to be careful; her aunt Princess Celestia has eyes everywhere and her teacher knows all the tricks of the trade. But Dream has many friends, and whether or not her parents want her to, she's going to she's going to be stirring up quite a bit of chaos.

Because sometimes Equestria is just crazy.

Discord gets released from his Stone Prison after Celestia and Luna decide he might deserve another chance - taking away his powers and under the strict eye of the Princesses, it would seem Discord couldn't be more harmless.

He does cause a lot of chaos though, to the faithful student of Celestia, as she had eagerly took over the task of watching over Discord as well by giving him place under her own roof, hoping to learn more about the Draconequus' species, his powers and his motives, but surprisingly learning much more about himself as a person. Which puts her in many awkward, embarrasing and pretty hilarious situations most of the time.

An adventure of a silly one sided (???) love and a look into the heart of Twilight Sparkle.
