Ye 'Ole Collection of Ships.

All kinds of ships too! Yachts, galleys, sloops, motorboats, carracks, canoes, cutters, man-o-wars, dinghies, toy, plastics ones, cogs, battleships, speedboats, raceboats, ironclads, steamboats, ships of the line, kayaks, pontoons, barges, tugboats, ketches, lifeboats, schooners, cruisers, pirogues, trawlers, viking ships, gondolas, pleasure barges, blackwall frigates, rafts, and my very favorite, the one taken for adventure as well, the caravel.

Caravels.

Note: This happens in the same universe. So, once a ship happens, it cannot be reversed. The pairings are there to stay. However, they aren't posted in exact chronological order. But, this makes it more fun, as the little interconnections and stuff get chucked around and by the end it gets very interesting.

Anyways, enjoy this random heaping of various impulses to thrust two (or more) innocent, fictional characters into often improbable circumstances where they become attracted to each other. Or, maybe it'll just be friendshipping. That's a very rare ship, though. Usually it's pedal-to-the-medal or nothing. I thought about posting each thing as a single story, but that'd get very tedious.

* - denotes a Thirty Minute Pony Stories prompt. Often much shorter.

Princess Celestia believes its time for Twilight to propel her studies to a new level, and requests Luna's aid in doing so. However, Princess Luna and her borrowed student end up getting more than either of them asked for.

Launched into a new, fractured world, where the knowledge of magic is lost, an opposite fills its void. Meanwhile, Luna and Twilight have to work together to find even where home is. But soon, they find themselves having to play by other ponies and nations' rules, and the strife that comes with it.

"Dark" tag added, after much thought, as a forewarning for some more violent scenes.

For Rarity, the words left unsaid are often most meaningful. A life of standards and a sense of class has led her to assume that breaking these standards are wrong, and that reining in one's true emotions is a path to success.

However, something has been keeping her up at night and threatening to break the mold she has lived by throughout her life. Which will crack first, her presumed lifestyle or herself?

Princess Luna is sent to learn about the changes in her absence. But soon, with the help of another shy pony, she ends up learning more about herself and her emotions, than the land around her.

The Teen rating is here due to some moments of heavier shipping. Nothing explicit, or even close to that, but just a fair warning.

For Vinyl Scratch, it only takes one step.

The Cover Image was made by myself, although credit goes to YiKOmega for the original picture.

This took me about a month to write. It turns out trying to balance school, sports, my new interests in composing music (Nowhere nearly as good as my proficiency with literature or graphic art, I've never made a song nor do I think I ever will), those damn bronies from Dead Frontier who drive me procrastinate, Killing Floor, AND writing.... It doesn't work so well.

Anyways! Here's a largely-retrospective story about Vinyl Scratch, the maiden of music, and her ordeals with obtaining her dream. More "slice of life" than anything.

It COULD become a multi-chapter story, so I'm going to leave the door open and keep this at incomplete.
