These little stories are meant to flesh out the "Love Will Set You Free" universe a little more. Each will focus on a different character (or in some cases, pairing).

They will make little sense unless you've read "Love Will Set You Free" and "L'amore è femmina (Out of Love)".

Characters:

Love Is Blind: Scootaloo, Gilda

Love Unlimited: Apple family (Ponyville branch)

Would You?: Ancient element bearers, 5,000 years ago

Waterline: Spike, Apple Bloom, dragon OC

Love Me Back: Applejack, earth pony OC

I'm a Joker: Trixie

Zaleilah: Spike, Apple Bloom

Aphrodisiac: Twilight, unicorn OC

Six years after the events of "Love Will Set You Free", the peace in Ponyville is disturbed as an ancient prophecy seems to be coming true, involving eight new elements - of which only four are known.

"Love Will Set You Free" should be read first, otherwise the story will make little sense in some places. Also, as in that story, this one's chapters are titled after songs from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, as is the story as a whole.

Character tags mostly include characters new to "L'amore è femmina". For characters returning from "Love Will Set You Free", please refer to that story's character tags - they all apply to this one as well.

Spike's dreams of Rarity are shattered, and at the worst possible time, for his friends will need him to make it through their greatest crisis.

Inspired by the United Kingdom entry to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, "Love Will Set You Free" by Engelbert Humperdinck. From the second chapter onward, different songs serve as the inspiration, so check the comments for the links.

A short epilogue to the story Loss, by Caffum, dealing with Spike's return to Ponyville some time after Rarity's death. Knowledge of the original story is helpful, but not strictly necessary.
