Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle have a house by the shore together. Many years have gone by. Sometimes, every day is hard.

Dedicated to.

Inspired by.

"Unicorns are wonderful!"
"Unicorns are fantastic!"
"Unicorns are marvelous!"
"Unicorns are glamorous!"
"Unicorns are enchanting!"
"Unicorns are terrific!"

They also like to twist words. What would happen if you asked what they really are, without the wordplay?

Unicorns provoke wonder. They create fantasies. They cause marvels. They project glamour. They weave enchantment. But most importantly, they spawn terror.

Not a chance, because in Chapter 1, Hope dies.

Yesterday, the Cakes put Pumpkin and Pound on the train to head off to their first year at college.

Yesterday had been a very, very hard day.

Today will be worse.

Applejack awakens after a terrible injury and finds that her parents have never died. Was her orphaned life just a fevered dream? As AJ tries to cope with her new reality, old memories begin to haunt her nightmares. These shadows begin to follow her and AJ’s family begins to worry about her sanity. Determined to find the truth, AJ retraces the events prior to her injury and uncovers a secret that her parents hid years ago. She embarks on a quest to right a wrong left unfinished and her journey puts the relationships with her siblings to the test. Can this second chance truly bring a happy ending, or is it just another shot to set things right?

The day the Princesses vanished was the last day of peace. Nopony was the same when the sun and the moon continued their way across the sky without the Princesses' magic. With that apparent lie exposed, Equestria was in shambles for weeks, months even.

Everything slowly took a turn for the worse, starting with the betrayal of the Element of Honesty. Nopony really knows what happened that day, except for the other Elements of Harmony. Equestria is shattered.

Five uneven pieces.

Equestria is divided. And it has been so for fifteen years.

We're just the many insignificant ones. This is our lives, stuck in Tartarus.

(The setting belongs to PoorYorickDA, who created this awesome thing that is Equestria Divided)

(This is a one-shot so far, done purely to promote what I believe is a well thought-out grimdark Equestria, but it might evolve into a bigger story someday)

It was a completely normal day in Ponyville for Twilight Sparkle, or at least, that's what she thought it would be. That should have been her first clue that something was up. She expected it to be a quiet day where she could hang out with her friends, and maybe she'd get a friendship letter in if she was lucky.

She did not, however, expect everypony in town to turn into a flaming racist overnight.

She is as beautiful and graceful as the moon, and just as hard to reach. He is a young artist with much to learn about the world. When he accepts her challenge to create an artistic masterpiece, will he win her heart, or learn a terrible lesson in the nature of beauty and love?

When Applejack starts dating an old pegasus friend, she thought the worst part would be making time in her busy schedule for romance. She didn't expect a whole truckload of unusual complications.

Complications like splinters. A hostile home environment. Being confused for an egg. A book that contains the secrets of the universe, and a theory about a rubber band.

Some ponies just have to worry about their jobs and who did the laundry. Applejack has to worry about her species tearing her love life apart. Pegasi are weirder than she thought, and the universe isn't making it any easier.

Clip Cord and her friends are part of a growing industry in Equestria. Tattoos and piercings are still considered taboo by many ponies; but in the modern bustling heart of Applewood, the heroes of our story thrive. In Spectrum Tattoo and Piercing, five ponies learn lessons about friendship, magic, art, stabby things, donuts, and the lengths an apprentice will go to prove himself in a ruthless industry full of weirdos.

Author's Note: This is just something I wrote for fun, to blow off some steam and get a very pesky idea out of my head. For the moment, this chapter can stand as a fun stand alone, though I'm considering writing more. Please, for the love of Celestia, don't take this fic too seriously. :) Crappy doodle cover image to be replaced by something better when I have the time.
