New Story Sneak Peek · 12:30am Sep 6th, 2021
Hello guys! Just wanted to give a quick sneak peek to something I've been working on: the sequel to "Fear Is Temporary, Regret Is Forever". This one's a little...different. Instead of taking place in the past, this one takes place in the present, and has more of an actual plot. Also, while it does reference the previous story in a couple places (particularly in chapter 2), it's not specifically a direct continuation, but rather a simultaneous story set in the same universe and leading up to something even bigger. It's still a sequel, it's just that the previous story was more of a self-contained introduction to my head-canon about Alicorns, while this new one is an introduction to the larger universe as a whole.
Fair warning, it's gonna delve into some dark subjects, and it might not be a good idea to read it at night. Just saying.
But why are you reading my prattling? You're probably here for the sneak peek, so without further ado...
*drum rolls*
I give you an out-of-context snippet from my next story, "A Silent Night In The North", coming soon to a Fimfiction site near you. Enjoy!
The two stallions brought their weapons up once more, staring out into the hallway they just came from. Flash held up a wing and made a few silent gestures with his feathers, and Shining nodded. Flash crept up to the wall next to the door frame and peeked out around the corner.
Though the hoof-falls continued, and seemed to get louder, he saw nothing.
When he turned back to let Shining know, he found himself alone in the room. A large hole had silently opened up where Shining was, and the Prince was nowhere to be seen.
The hoof-falls continued, and then suddenly stopped. All Flash could hear was his own heartbeat.
Then they started again, and a grey hoof embedded with purple and black crystals stepped around the corner in front of him. He held his breath and stared at it, not daring to blink. A head poked into the room, covered in the same crystalline material. Its eyes were dull yellow, and half its jaw was missing, replaced by two large purple "tusks" of some sort. It began to look around the room, taking keen interest in the hole where Shining had once stood.
Flash's eyes widened. It was wearing a Praetorian helmet, and a crossbow was in its other hoof.
The...thing that used to be Private Flare then growled and turned around, creeping back into the hallway.
Flash waited several agonizing moments before finally letting loose a hyperventilating breath as the echoing hoof-falls faded. This was not what he was expecting to find tonight, and now his Prince was missing. He had to get out of here and call for backup. Things were going south far too quickly for his liking.
As he carefully hurried out of the room, three pairs of yellow eyes followed him through the walls of crystal, and then the walls bulged as hooves emerged...
... Its a Flash Sentry story... and Shining Armour story... yes

Weeeeell, not quite. Flash has an important part to play in it, but it's actually focused more on Shining, Cadance, and Thorax (especially Thorax).

Still definitely on board.
