A husband deals with his wife's alcoholism. Based on the Regina Spektor song.

Celestia asks Twilight to move back to Canterlot for a year to work on her magical research, and to help her get better adjusted to life as a princess of Equestria. With all her friends being very busy, they'll barely have any time to see each other any more. Well, all of them except one. After all, what kind of Element of Loyalty would Rainbow Dash be if she didn't make time to be with her friends? But both of them will quickly learn that life doesn't leave much time for traveling, and distance is a hard thing to fight.

What's it like trying to keep in touch with the ones you care about only through writing?

A story about trying to deal with distance and love.

For Sunny Scribe, ever since that fateful day when Octavia moved into town, his life has been about her. However, as we all learn throughout our lives, time and distance change everything. Can two ponies keep the flames of love burning even as they physically grow further apart?

This is an attempt at capturing the magic of something I really love in the form of a story people on here will get to see. If anyone gets the reference, please don't spoil it. The plot and themes of this story will be parallel to another work that is not pony related, and I'm trying to rewrite it with pony characters. I certainly have no intention to replace names, so the characters will all be their own characters and not copied from the original work, and the progression will not be exactly the same as the original work, but they will be closely related.

I have heard concerns about this story not being publishable if I'm just replacing names, which is why I am taking utmost care to make this unique, while still capturing all the emotional power of what I'm borrowing from. It means a lot to me.

It is the role of a Goddess to be a bastion of constancy. To see the world around her move forward, but to hide her own emotions always. So is the shell a Goddess must build up over the many ages of her life.

What happens when that shell is broken? What does it take to move the heart of someone who has lived a thousand lifetimes? What happens when an immortal begins to regret their own life? For once in her long life, Princess Celestia isn't so sure any more.
