I, The Great and Powerful Trixie, have been reduced to performing magic tricks in a Trottingham tavern. One would think I'd never sink this low, but it's not as bad as it could be. The food is good, the beds are soft, and the company plentiful. The only problem?  I'm stuck here until I earn enough bits to buy another caravan so I can get back on the road where I belong.

So imagine my delight when one evening, a conpony walks through the door and starts cheating at cards. It was a golden opportunity: a chance to line my purse, play the heroine, and teach an amateur magician a thing or two about misdirection.

I had a perfect plan. My only mistake was getting a friend involved.

After realising her dream was not playing in the Canterlot elite Octavia moves back to Manehattan. Though how will Vinyl react when her former best friend in the world comes back after not having spoken in five years? Will their relationship ever be the same, or have they both changed?

A/N After I had to cancel my old VinylxTavi fic I decided that I would start a new one. There's really no similarities from the last fic to this so don't fret if you have not/have read it. Now I'll have to give a huge shoutout to NotTheOP for editing my story once more. That guy is my savior!

Guys, I'm okay with dislikes. But what pisses me off is when people don't leave a comment about why. Please if you're going to dislike tell me why. If not I can't improve. Thanks :)

A special thank you to Calligraphy, KartalTheWriter, and DawnFade for looking over the rough drafts for me. Special thanks to DawnFade for also looking over the second draft. I must also give a thank you to Peregrine Caged and Daetrin for their input.

As the sun gives way to the night, a pegasus knocks on a window. She has a secret. One that, if revealed, would shame her forever. Yet she can't stay away.

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.

My name is Celestia. This is a kind of log, an epistolary detailing various portions of my experiences throughout my long life, and several analytical reflections that come to mind at times. Most importantly, it is a collection of personal thoughts as I struggle through my eternal life's hardships.

Now that my purpose has been discovered, I have decided to share these entries with everypony here; perhaps my own shared introspection over my lifetime could provide an alternative way of thinking to some. If not, then I hope I did not bore you. I realize much of it is pointless rambling, but I have chosen several entries that I believe may be of interest.

Enjoy, if you like.

Everypony has dreams, but most ponies never realize them. However though hard work and dedication to his craft, Ponyville's resident farrier is about to get his chance to break himself free from his draining and seditary life.

This was a one-off I did to break the tension of editing up my main story. If you liked it, wonderful. There will most likely be more one-off's in the future. Thanks for reading!

Rarity and Fluttershy have been friends for years, and every week they go to the spa. But after every trip, Rarity finds herself growing greener with envy over Fluttershy's beauty and grace, if not something more than just envy— and what might happen if she finds out Fluttershy feels the same way about her?

"When all you know is gone, why do you keep on living? Ponies die every day, but it's how you live that matters. So this is me, on the raggedy edge, don’t push me."

The tale follows the story of Sunset, an orange Pegasus with a green mane and a setting sun on his flank. Set in the Fallout Equestria Universe created by Kkat this story takes place roughly ten years before the events of the 'Vault Dweller'. Though not branded by the Enclave, that is not from lack of trying on their part, Sunset's luck of always being able to fly away from the terrors of the Wastes has finally run out as what started as a normal caravan guard job takes a turn for the unexpected.

I will do my best to keep this updated on a fairly regular basis, though that all depends on how much of a hash I make of the rough draft. Thanks for reading!
