A week late, but I do sometimes pay attention to my own to-do list.

Velocity

     We Few, We Happy Few - Don't ever tell this filly what she can and can't be.

Egghead and Featherbrain

     Pinfeathers - Dash was all she ever wanted and all she'll never have. Twilight hasn't lost Rainbow Dash, but someone has.  This chapter was originally posted as a chapter of I Destroyed a Universe. I decided at first that it wasn't related enough to post to E&F, but I changed my mind.

Have fun!

Egghead and Featherbrain

Twilight and Rainbow Dash, together? Must be that 'opposites attract' thing. Then again, maybe they have more in common than they're letting on...

An ongoing series of slice-of-life snapshots. RD, I said to keep the Library clop-free, not... oh, forget it!

Epilogue - The next Daring Do book isn't out yet, so Twilight convinces Rainbow to read a romance novel instead. That never works - does it?

Second - Twilight reads everything she can get her hooves on. Sometimes she finds things she'd rather not know, or in this case, that Dash would rather not know.

Becoming Daring - The latest Daring Do novel isn't quite what Dash expected, and her reaction isn't what a friend of hers expected, either.

Firelight - Not every schedule has to be full and not every list has to be checked off.

Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag - Dash's friends can't save her from an anniversary date with Twilight, at which she will show Twilight a secret skill she's kept from everypony. Twilight's definitely not complaining!

The Wait - Agony is knowing the one you love is standing hoof to hoof with danger and knowing there's absolutely nothing you can do to help.

Hoofing It - One day, Twilight will learn that reading Daring Do alone won't get Dash to do everything. That day is not today.

Variations on a Theme - How many combinations of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash can there be? Plenty!

Reluctantly Yours - There's something Rainbow Dash doesn't want to lose, and Twilight refuses to let it go.  Will this be the end of the awesomeness that is Dash?

Closer to Home - Giving up one dream to keep another isn't always a bad trade.

Pinfeathers - Dash was all she ever wanted and all she'll never have. Twilight hasn't lost Rainbow Dash, but someone has.

Daring Do and the Chapel Perilous - Something's wrong with the Daring Do fanfic Dash and Twi are reading, and it's not funny.

Pew! Pew! Pew! - Rainbow Dash finds new and unexpected uses for the Elements of Harmony.

Less of Me - Twilight decides to help Dash's career along, but she might be getting ahead of herself.

The Ink Wasn't Even Dry Yet - Dash and Twi go head to head in a battle for the ages! And oh, the stakes...

Audience - Twilight Sparkle doesn't dance. We hope. Dear heavens, please let her not dance.

The Trip and the Destination - Dash took on one storm too many and Twilight's had enough of it.

Velocity - Rainbow Dash is never late. Today she's very late, in a way she never expected.

Home Away - Dash takes flight with the one pony who means means more to her than any other.

Skywriting - Sometimes you just can't speak all the words you need to say, and a letter is all you can manage.

We Few, We Happy Few - Don't ever tell this filly what she can and can't be.

Somewhere to Be - A storm rolls out of the Everfree on Dash's day off. She's got a game to get to, and there's no way this'll slow her down!

Luna's Librarian, Twilight's Moon

Princess Luna finds more than a friend in her sister's student, and Twilight Sparkle gets a chance to study the moon and stars far closer than she ever dreamed possible.

An ongoing series of slice-of-life snapshots. Expect a castle's worth of clop-free d'aaawww.

Plan C - In which Cadance learns that Celestia is the chessmaster, and that her backup plans are the most fun of all.

Game, Set, Match - Twilight tries her hoof at arena combat. Victory or defeat, she's sure to end up a winner with this opponent.

Twilight Hustle - Rarity's heard some steamy rumors about Twilight and gathers the girls to dish juicy gossip.

Every Morning After - Twilight and Luna shared a wonderful, magical night; unfortunately, immortal Princesses sometimes forget about thousand-year-old laws which could ruin the mood ever so slightly.

Names - Luna's had many more names and titles than "Mare in the Moon", and Twilight discovers which of them meant the most.

Great Minds Think Alike - Cadance and Celestia's plan for Twilight and Luna comes to a head, slightly off schedule.

Third Time's the Charm - Twilight's Nightmare Night costumes aren't cutting it. Now Luna's in town, and that may change her opinion on what makes a proper costume.

THAT Letter - Luna and Twilight have to tell Celestia how serious their relationship has become, and they decide to send a letter. Surely they couldn't disagree about how to make such a simple announcement - could they?

Your Turn - Twilight and her friends reveal some personal secrets, and Twilight's is life-changing.

The Power Vested in Me- The Big Day is here, but Luna and Twilight are so very, very far from ready. Will their fears get the better of them?

Awkward - Twilight and Shining Armor have dinner with their parents along with Luna and Cadance. They'll probably wish they'd ordered takeout instead.

Yes, the collection's title is a LEXX reference. That might be as close as I come to penning a Lexx / MLP crossover.

Thank you for calling Dunsany, Derleth, Smith, and Lovecraft, this is Nyarlathotep speaking, how may we help you?

I do have a theory that Celestia's mane isn't really pink and teal and purple, it's actually The Color Out of Space.

It's a funny story, the first time I played paintball...

--

It was the last minute of the final game of the day, and I felt like it was definitely something I'd like to try again.

"Mercy!" I heard from close behind. After dropping my gun and raising my hands, I turned around and sized him up, then noticed that the canister for the ammunition seemed empty. We were going to lose anyway, but hey, I guess I couldn't just abandon the game.

"You're out of ammo," I said, motioning to the clear plastic container.

He rolled his eyes. "No, I'm not."

"Really!?"

"Really."

I reached back for my gun, and immediately, at a speed that felt way over the 330 km/h (300 fps) limit, a paintball found its way onto my throat, the only part of me that wasn't protected by at least a layer of clothing.

"You know, you could have just shot my gun, or some other part of my body, or somewhere that doesn't hurt as much," I said, feeling my throat starting to bruise.

"Yeah, but it's much more fun this way."

--

A couple of days later, my dad handed me a glossy card in board stock, the exterior of which revealed little.. "Happy birthday, kid," he said.

I flipped open the card. Inside were ten vouchers to a paintball facility. I looked up, forced a smile, and said, "Thanks, but no thanks."

I never played paintball again.

--

>When I moved away from there, I started playing less and less thanks to higher costs and less free time.

The only city I saw on the map close to there is Allentown... you used to live there?

>One day I looked in my closet and saw a huge collection of gear and realized I hadn't played in over a year, and decided that was it.

Aw, man, that feeling must suck.

Here you go, and thanks to you, my OC's name is now officially Mossy Oak:

About paintball... I used to play constantly, and in fact I was a paintball referee for a couple of years at Skirmish USA - yes, I reffed "Invasion of Normandy" more than once.  When I moved away from there, I started playing less and less thanks to higher costs and less free time. One day I looked in my closet and saw a huge collection of gear and realized I hadn't played in over a year, and decided that was it. Sold it all off. I may get back into it one day, but for now I barely have enough time to fish, hunt, and live. Pony is just a bonus, a little reward I enjoy on the side. You can still see my PB gear collection on my YouTube channel (example here), where I posted videos of my stuff when I eBay'd it.

Here's a test video from my gun camera - fast forward to about 2:00 to see me blast two guys.

What? Who? Where? Jumpin' Jeezuz on a pogo stick, when did I become well-known?

Barn was fun - didn't see that ending coming at all. I figured it would be "AJ's okay with it" or something similar, but the twist was handled well and made for a good lunch hour story. Also, the bit about RD being a screamer - that's classic!

Oh, so why don't you make the pony's "coat" (I'm sorry) in camo?

The dogboy is too cute for his own good :D
