With the defeat of the sirens and her subsequent acceptance at school, Sunset Shimmer had thought her life had made a turn for the better.

She thought it would be easy to simply forget the Dazzlings.

However, a run-in with Sonata Dusk brings in another perspective on the whole Battle of the Bands episode, one Sunset had never really stopped to contemplate.

After all, it takes one monster to understand another...
Right?

An argument and a car crash leave one of the sirens--Adagio, Sonata, and Aria--dead. They know this because Death itself has shown up to chat with them and to ensnare Adagio into a game of wits with the very lives of her companions at stake. Adagio doesn't want anyone to die, but she's not so happy with the way they've been arguing so much lately either...

An EQG story. Absolutely no connection to The Years of Ar and S.

Vinyl's daily morning routine gets a nice surprise addition.

Written for Equestria Daily's Friend Off Revival.

Twilight Sparkle has never had much appreciation for the softer works of literature. ‘There were books, and then there were books,’ is what she would say when presented with a book of poetry.

One night not long before Nightmare Night, Princess Celestia figured out exactly how to bridge the two worlds together for Twilight: a reading assignment on one of the very first science fiction books ever written, entitled simply Frankenstein.

It was the perfect plan.

Being the pinnacle culinary achievement for rising bakers, the Annual Canterlot Bake-Off is one of the largest events of its kind. Ponies Equestria-wide come to show off their crafts, eager to prove the supremacy of their art. To many, it is the first step on the road to greatness.

For Cupcake, it is an unending thorn in her side. Every year she has entered, and every year she has lost to lesser chefs simply because they smile and display emotion.

But she'll keep fighting.

The old castle in the Everfree. Twilight Sparkle knows it's full of secrets that are still waiting to see the light of day. On her most recent exploration of the ruins, however, she finds something that she left there years ago.

Not all things know defeat in death.

Spike thinks he has a pretty good life.

He has amazing friends, a brand new castle to live in, and the most amazing big sister anyone could ever ask for.

Spike thinks he couldn't, nor shouldn't, ask for any more.

.....So why does this weird... lady say he has nothing? And for that matter, why can no one else see her besides Spike?

Oh come on! She's just joking around! She must be lying... she has to be...

"They came from deep beneath the ocean. Monsters. The first came ashore at Canterbury. It slaughtered ten million lives before the bombers arrived. Canterbury ceased to exist that day, the day Celestia allowed Solar magic to be used in anger. She swore never again, but another monster came. Another city. Another broken promise. We knew it wouldn't end. We knew we had to do something. So to fight those monsters, we created Monsters of our own.
