The old potionmaker lives deep in the woods with her adopted daughters Lily and Daisy. Their days together are simple and sweet, and the flowers in their garden bloom every summer without fail. But in the darkness of the Everfree something else is stirring, and its roots stretch deep.

TW: Some gore and horror.

Battle scars are a constant reminder of what you survived. A scar simply means you were stronger than what tried to hurt you.

This story is a sequel to Ultimate Spiders and Magic: Episode III "Genetic Conscription"

The annual Friendship Games are near, and everyone at Canterlot High is ready to take on their rivals at Crystal Prep. However, Peter Parker has his own issues, as his past resurfaces in the forms of his former principal, Abacus Cinch, and intellectual arch-rival, Twilight Sparkle. To make matters worse, magic seems to be running amok during the competition, and Sunset Shimmer finds herself amidst an existential crisis as she attempts to find her place in the world.

Life continues to have fun at your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’s expense.

When Applejack left home to go back to college after winter break, Winona seemed as happy and healthy as ever. Tragically, just weeks later, Applejack learns her family's beloved dog had passed away in her sleep, years earlier than anyone would have expected. Shocked and grief-stricken, she reaches out to one of the only friends she knows who's lost a personal pet before—Twilight Sparkle, many miles away at her own school. Will video chat be enough for them to provide each other with the comfort they need?

All death is past-tense and there are no violent descriptions. Applejack and Twilight are the only characters who appear; all others tagged are discussed only (though in significant detail).

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Princess Luna is asked by Loona the Hellhound to help her remember why she became an orphan. Once the awful truth is discovered, Luna offers hard-won advice to the young wolf-girl.

Rated Teen for Loona's filthy mouth. (Tsk. Teenagers!)
Loona is from Helluva Boss

Rarity's father gets the best suit he will ever wear.

Hallo! Sorry I'm late. But then, it seems... so are you, Rainbow Dash.

And so the late Rainbow Dash comes face to face with Death himself! And he's... surprisingly cordial, actually.

But when Rainbow ends up in his debt, there's only one way to get back to the life she knew: take up the role of the Grim Reaper herself while Death takes a little holiday. Will Dashie be able to stay quick among the dead? Will she be the most awesome reaper ever... or will Death have to cut his vacation - and Rainbow's life - tragically short?
