A shared connection saw them brought together. By accident, by no intention of their own, but lives crossed paths all the same.

It took so long for them to even say hello. Continuous conversation grew slowly, and a real relationship required sorrow as soil. Growth came as time went by.
But now it's good- perhaps even better than good; a little sweetness within each word.
Maybe, if given a little nudge, it could be something new.

My 2024 Valentine's Day special. Enjoy!

Ethyl Alcol had been a well liked and well received scientist among those of his field, specifically in his contributions to the study of achohol and its effects on the various species in Equestria. However, when a experimental test goes horribly wrong Ethyl finds himself lucky to be alive, though in the aftermath the effects of his brush with death leaves the stallion no longer able to stomach the very subject he built his career on. Stuck within a divide of what he once was and what hes been reduced to now, Ethyl leaves Canterlot to come to terms with what the future holds for him...and perhaps learn to find his place in the world, a place that might make him truly happy once again.

Being a rock farmer is simple. You just have to move and break rocks. Couldn't be any more complicated than that. Someday Limestone Pie is going to be as good at it as Papa! Absolutely nothing can threaten this.

Nothing, that is, except Great Uncle Holder Cobblestone and his stupid boulder.

A cutie mark story for everyone's favorite grouchy pony.

Slightly AU because I altered the history of the Pie Farm a bit, but I was convinced by one of my pre-readers that the AU tag wasn't warranted. We shall see!

All my thanks go to NumberFifth and Serketry for their pre-reading, editing, and plot suggestions. Seriously, it helped a lot.

Cover art belongs to Aureai. Tried to get permission but received no reply. Will change it if they ever ask.

This story is a sequel to Life after Death

Starlight and Maud get engaged but didn’t visit the choosing stone first. It was against Pie tradition and Ma isn’t going to forget that. The couple has to got to the farm and make amends. Will it lead to a happy married life or the end of their relationship? Maud isn’t sure. It’s a rock based decision.

Thanks to Lysander and Stinuim Ruide for helping to edit this one. It’s taken a long time to release from editing limbo on my part.

The Pie Rock Farm's 2 residents live a mundane life. Igneous Rock Pie tends to and harvests the rocks, and Cloudy Quartz seeds, classifies, and exports them. Their routine had remained unchanged for years, save for the occasional holiday, until one day. Igneous finds a cave. Will the depths of its stony halls prove to be a boon to the Pie family?
Or its doom?

Premise based on the story of Floyd Collins, and, of course, Man in Cave.

Cloudy Quartz is a young mare trying to live out her destiny even if it opposes her parents' expectations. They are two very different ponies living under very different circumstances. But at least they both like rocks.

A cutesy story about marriage.

It started with two families and a decision for a filly and colt to be brought together.

From the arrangement, a marriage was had and true love was farmed, growing into a family and a strong bond that would last for years to come. 

On quiet nights when it was just the two of them, Cloudy and Igneous put on an old record, dance, and reminisce.
