Celestia has just resolved the Changeling attack, and receives a letter from a former student of hers... one she had thought was long gone, and she had long since... almost forgotten.

It seemed like an ordinary day. Go to school, take a nap, do nothing... and suddenly I'm hiding in my room, trying not to scream, as I become something that just isn't right.

*My twist on a HiE fic, which I mindlessly ignore. Based on a nightmare I had after the season finale.
**'Other' tag stands for 'changeling'.

When Twilight and her friends take a break at the coast, things don't go exactly as planned...

My original idea for the February Write-Off, that I've finally gotten around to writing. Uh... enjoy!

A cold war between the Equestrian Realms and the Griffon Republic has gone on for years. The newest chemical bomb, being constructed in a hidden bunker along the border, is almost complete. The ground shakes with the sonicbooms of the fighters and the muffled explosions of the suicide bombers. A Griffon runs in, gritting his teeth, yelling about the impending explosion. He is stopped by two of the guards, which fall back under what seems to be raving madness.

The second gas being developed, the unnamed Griffon Chemical Warfare Orb 583, or GCW583, has exploded while being worked on. It's power has already exceeded the predictions, filling the bunker in seconds and moving up the stairwell...

And through the door that the fleeing Griffon has left open...

Shards are small peices of a fragile object after it has shattered.
Life is fragile.
And when it is attacked with a sudden and brutal force, it breaks.
And leaves behind shards of love and hate, betrayal and unity, sadness and joy.

The rain had slashed at the windows for a long time before Twilight had noticed it. With a tear-stained muzzle, she looked up from the floor of the library, up to the largest window, past her bed...

...and past the small bed of her assistant.

Her head lowered back to the floor, and she resumed her crying.

Side characters include Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Celestia, and Luna

Ponyville has changed in a hundred years of sunshine and snow and rain, of towering cloud formations, Solistice festivals, nights full of constelations and seasons full of happiness. Truth be told, many things have changed, and the Elements have faded back into myths, but Equestria still stands. The question is, will Ponyville last as well?

So, one-two generations after the Mane Six, here is the quick update:
-Celestia has a son named Crimsonleaf
-Rainbow Dash passed away, her daughter, Rainbow Dark, has taken her title as fastest.
-Applejack's granddaughter, Applesauce, looks almost exactly like her.
-A group of nomads, made up of one Pegasus, Rapture, a Unicorn, Lamplight, and two Earth Ponies, Bomberman and Thumper are showing up somewhere in this story
-Rarity's daughter is made fun of for being made of marshmallow
-Gilda has a son named Tigerjay
-Spike has a daughter named Sunrise
-Even Zercora has a daughter, named Chibi
-A hermit named Starlight has shown up in the Everfree Forest

-Twilight is old, Rarity is oldish, Rainbow Dash has passed on, Fluttershy vanished after Coronus's death, Applejack is old, and Pinkie went to Canterlot to get away from the sadness in her home and has not returned since.
-Celestia is still alive, but growing weak; Luna, due to her missed years on the moon, it just beginning to look like a mare
-Crimsonleaf's father has the gift of invinciblity; he will not die until Celestia does.
-The nomads are of average age
-Rarity had a child later, who is now the same age as most of the grandkids, give a few years
-Gilda has a Griffon's lifespan, so her child is also a young age
-Spike is still alive and well, and takes care of his daughter in the library's underground tunnels (they exist)
-Zercora's daughter is much more social than she is.
-Starlight has a secret.
-The Cutie Mark Crusaders are full-grown mares

So far, that's it.
Let the games begin.
