Two old friends meet on a familiar field, and finally agree on an ending.

Written for the May 29th 2019 Writeoff pic-to-fic event, based on the cover art, this song, and the original prompt "Not the Whole Truth". It won 1st place.

A long time ago, a desperate mare sought the aid of a disgraced enchanter. He believed her a useful, naive child—bitter and malleable with a gift that could raise him to heights he had never dared dream of.

By the time he realised his mistake, it was far too late.

The original version of this was written for the March 9th 2019 Writeoff, under the prompt "Through A Glass Brightly". It won 3rd place.

It tastes like a thunderous church organ piece with chromatic counterpoint in cunning cadences, author. Or like a deep, sparklingly bitter, lightly intoxicating juice with the scent of grapefruit and blood. Were I the appropriate one of the main characters, and had I the abilities she has in certain canons, I would devour you to take your ability to write like this. Amazing.

Queen Chrysalis throws a Hearth's Warming Eve party.

It does not quite go as planned.

Written for totallynotabrony as part of Jinglemas 2018.

Inspired (rather obliquely) by the classic British Christmas song A Wombling Merry Christmas.

Princess Luna knows her sister is hiding something. Whatever she may say, 'Daybreaker' did not seem to be some construct of Starlight Glimmer's psyche. It had been far too strong for that.

But Luna will learn that sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone. The truth is not always kind.

Thanks to Snu AKA Snowybee, Miller Minus and MewKat for lending their ears, and their pre-reading skills (for Chapters 1-3). I definitely would not have finished this in time without them.

If I had to sum this story up: what if you could interview the devil, and he told you that there were Bigger Fish to Fry?

- Cynewulf, on reviewing this for Seattle's Angels.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders try and summon a demon.

Unfortunately, they get something far worse.

On the bright side: this may finally get them their cutie marks.

Written for the Everfree Northwest Pre-Con Contest, using the prompt "Making New Friends". Pre-read by Carapace and auramane, and edited by auramane.

Special thanks to OleGrayMane for volunteering to give additional and very thorough editing. Just as special thanks to Miller Minus for inspiring this monstrosity in the first place.

Sometimes, a spark is just a spark. Nothing comes of it, nothing grows. But sometimes, a spark can become a fire, burning bright and powerful.
It will not last forever. But it has a beauty all its own.

A series of moments throughout the lives of Rarity and Fluttershy.

Pre-reading and editing provided by Timaeus and auramane, and also pre-read by Carapace and MewKat.
Special thanks to Feenkatze for their help with straightening this out.

Celestia admires Luna. But she does not envy her. The night turns to day once again, and Celestia remembers, and reflects.

She may not have Luna's strength. But she would not trade her gift for all the world.
