Shining Armor never thought that he would be standing in the jousting arena, staring down at his wife who looked back at him with eyes that were on fire with excitement.  He also never thought that his wife would want to do anything together except make him carry her shopping bags or cuddle in bed.  

Well, there's a first time for everything.

After all of the chaos that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had put them through, Big Mac and Cheerilee still managed to end the day without being hitched against their wills.

That doesn't mean they can't go out for a cup of coffee.

Chaotic Harmony, a pony who crafted mystical stories of woe that made ponies return to their beds and sob as well as one who crafted those that made tears that sprouted from laughter, figured that a simple trip to the market wouldn't change anything about his day other than how much ink was in his inkwell.

Of course, he was wrong.

Just saying this now in my amazing fourth wall breaking powers, don't take this fic seriously.  Seriously.  You're brain cells will die if you do.

A semi-sequel to Sunshine and Celery... Stalkers?

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned...

A snowy night.

An empty road.

A Blinding Darkness

Surrounding two ponies.

Two ponies just entering the age of adulthood.

The look towards each other

across the empty chasm of night

and smile as the warmth of a light

blooms between them.

Trixie was defeated.  The Amulet of the Alicorn and its deadly curse was taken away and hidden where nopony would ever find it in their unfortunate hooves again...

But Trixie will find that such a magical artifact's power doesn't depart from one so easily as that.

She will learn the true power of the Alicorn's Curse, as well as the pain that it brings.

Maybe somepony else will too.

Love is the most sacred of magics, possessed by all but commanded by few.  It is the driving force behind life in Equestria, the lifeblood of pony civilization.

But when a new kind of magic arrives in Equestria, it is up to its bearer, Twilight Sparkle, to decide its fate...

or perhaps it's up to the magic to decide hers.

The gritty wind blew around the seven as they stood proudly atop the hill, whistling as it passed them by and carrying the overwhelming sound of hissing on its gusts.  Below them stood a writhing, black mass with what looked like insect wings jutting from the individual shapes that formed it.

"Hey... girls?"  Twilight couldn't keep the quiver out of her voice as she stared into the pure-blue eyes of their foe.

"Yeah, Twi?"  Applejack's voice was as steady as ever, if heavy with a sad resignation.

"See you on the other side."

When we lose all of what makes our world be special, how can we even bear to keep going in life?  How does one even begin to start coping with such a thing?  One cellist, called Octavia by those who knew her, does just this.  She throws the cruel destiny that the harsh fates had bestowed upon her aside and stands proudly upon the stage of the world to play her instrument, her life, louder than any other.

She plays on the strings that make no sound.
