Bomboniere, also called memento, or trophy. An object kept as a reminder of an event or person. Most people have at least one in their life. Some were for happy memories as gifts from a loved one, or souvenirs from a trip. Others are kept as trophies, possibly from war or battles.

Flurry Heart, daughter of Shining Armor and Cadence, also has one for herself. Though not all is known, one thing was for sure: The doll was a gift, from someone she promised to never reveal.

On her vacation in the town of Gold Springs, Rarity finds a dragon. He won't let go of her coin, and now she has no idea what to do with him.

"Hello Phumblr, my name is Graceful Thread, I am... well... a spidermare. My friend Lemon Hearts said I should try to socialize more, but since most ponies don't like it when I walk outside my home in broad daylight, I thought I might try social media. After all everypony else is doing it."

"Don't worry, there is no such thing as stupid questions. Wrong questions, yes. Questions that might result in me wrapping you in my webs and injecting you with my venom, yes. Stupid questions, nah!"

Think of this as kind of like one of those Ask Tumblr pages, except Graceful Threads will answer them in intervals (as it would be silly to have a chapter for each question).

There is nothing wrong with being goofy, but please do try to submit some serious questions too. It should be noted that I would like to keep this story as safe for work (SFW) as possible, and I am sure that Graceful Threads would agree.

Also do note that this story takes place during season 5.

Chapter 1, 2 and 3 were proofread by: Boop-Happy Lass.

Well, in case it must be said, I did create the lovely artwork that serves as the cover art for this story.

Also Graceful Thread is my OC, so no stealing.

More tags will be added as the story is released.

Also if you're going to down vote my story, at least have the decency to tell me why.

Twenty thousand years into Twilight Sparkle's rule, the burden of the countless trillions of ponies killed Equestria. Depleted, polluted, and dead, the planet was abandoned. The Goddess Twilight Sparkle and her alicorn compatriots led the surviving ponies to a new life among the stars.

Ponies advanced. They evolved, and grew. A golden age of peace and prosperity occurred that lasted for thousands of millennia.

But that was long ago. Before evolution turned against them, and before the deadly Mortality Virus raged through their ranks. Now, at the twilight of ponykind, their final hope is for a small crew to return to their long-dead and long-forgotten homeworld one last time.

Reel Projection has disappeared. Nopony has any clue as to where he went or how he vanished. However, one thing is for certain is that he did leave a nearly seven-page note behind. In it, he described a lost, banned film from the silent film era.

A special thanks to LeylaQuartz for proofreading this.

Now with a Russian Translation by Doof Ex Machina

Fluttershy buys a painting from a new stall in Ponyville markets. It's a quaint picture of a rural cottage surrounded by grasslands and farm animals. It fills her with a curious feeling of longing that she hasn't felt before. Why should she? Her life is already like it.
But new animals start appearing around her home, and her own animals begin disappearing. Why and how she doesn't know, but she has to save them. She has to save all of them.

After missing an opportunity to perform in Manehatten, Octavia rides her usual train back to Ponyville in a dark mood. She tries to relax and simply nap or otherwise occupy herself until the train arrives at its destination, but some shady train operators claim that her ticket is invalid, and that Ponyville isn't one of the stops.
Octavia suspects a shakedown, and after being ejected from the train, she waits to defend herself from a possible mugging, but nothing comes. Instead, Octavia finds herself alone on the train platform, struggling to keep herself sane as she waits for the next train.

Everypony thought the windigos were as good as gone. Then the Cutie Map calls the Mane 6 to the top of a mountain, and they find out otherwise... Can Twilight and her friends stop the dastardly plot before a villain can allow the windigos to return?

Set near the end of Season 6 and includes occasional references to events in Season 7.

The Gentle Folk.

The Fae.

Fairies.

They have many names, many shapes, and many voices. They do have one common interest: foals. What they do with the young ones they take is unknown. One can only assume the worst.

Sarsaparilla Rind wakes one morning to find her son missing from his cradle. She knows who is responsible, and stakes out into the Whitetail Woods to rescue him. She is aware of the stories, the tales, and the rumors. They have many endings, many lessons, and many rules. They all have one common theme:

Never make a deal with the Gentle Folk.

Written for The Monthly Contest Club's April 2017 short fic contest.

Millions of years in the future, Celestia and Luna watch over a dying world. Its surface is a cracked, barren wasteland, baked by a dying sun. The ocean is a caustic soup, choked with salt. Few creatures can survive this hellish future, and even their days are limited.

Yet, despite the desolation, there is some good news: Celestia's birthday is coming up, and Luna has a surprise for her...
