Blindness, contrary to what Rainbow had always imagined, was not like being in a dark room.

Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again, and rather than missing their families two years in a row, Gallus all but demanded his friends return home for the holidays. Deciding that the School of Friendship's dorm was more comfortable than the Griffonstone halfway house, he elected to simply remain in Ponyville, brood a bit, and pointedly try to ignore the happy chorus outside.

But then Sandbar just had to go and ruin it by being the great friend that he is.

Stepping into new ground can be hard, especially when it comes to writing. Ambris Knot, respected archaeology non-fiction writer and head librarian, knows this well, so when she tries to write fiction for the first time, she turns to a certain daring friend.

Sunset Shimmer has been keeping a secret from her friends. She's got a new girlfriend who's smart, cute, funny, and she can even cook! Sadly, she lacks anything even resembling a social filter, so if you so much as mildly annoy her, she's going to let you know it. Sunset knows she can't keep these two parts of her life apart forever, and Pinkie's big-time creepy Halloween blowout is as good a time as any to introduce them.

Hopefully she'll survive the night.

An entry for Oro's Sunset Shimmer Shipping Contest!

A few weeks before her college graduation, Sunset Shimmer attends Twilight Sparkle's funeral. She'd rather be anywhere else but here. She'd rather think about anything but what role she played—or didn't play—in her girlfriend's premature death.

We don't always get what we want, though. After the last several months, Sunset knows that better than anyone.

Winner of Oroboro's "Sunset Shipping Contest: Endings." Rated T for language, not-exclusively-adult themes, and brief tobacco use.

Sunset Shimmer has lost her wife, and with her, direction in life. Luckily Rarity is the type of woman who anticipates these sorts of things. All Sunset has to do is follow directions, and everything should work out just fine.

Starlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon bake muffins inside the palace kitchen.

Rarity needs to borrow Rainbow's laptop for a week. Rainbow needs to get her laptop fixed so Rarity can use it. Starlight needs more alcohol before she hangs herself.
