Octavia Melody is dead, having taken her own life for reasons unknown. Vinyl Scratch is utterly crushed, and her life has been put on hold while she mourns. She lives her life in a haze, with Octavia having become nothing more than a hallucination that only she can see and speak with. It's been a month, and Vinyl hasn't even read Octavia's suicide note.

Yet, when she does, strange wording begins to make Vinyl think, is Octavia's suicide really a suicide, or something more entirely? This hurtles the mare onto a quest with which nothing is as simple as it seems, and no price is too high to discover the truth.

What happened to Octavia Melody?

When the gym class teacher breaks her leg during a martial arts session, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna have to turn to someone they didn't want to turn to from the beginning.

Rated 'TEEN!(?)'
Expect swearing. Lots and LOTS of swearing, and also sexual humour.
Set within the Equestria Girls universe. Set before events of Sunset Shimmer's downfall.

Chosen by Pandora’s box Octavia gradually becomes aware that there is more to Equestria than catches the eye. Living in the shadows of society, vampires turn out to be more than just an old mare's tale. However, once aware of the truth there is no way of going back to a regular life. Now it is up to Octavia and her crazy new flatmate to cope with a world that becomes more and more difficult to handle...

ATTENTION:
I am well aware that the first few chapters of my story aren't really appealing to the readers. Therefore I decided to publish only 1 more chapter until I'd have to sit down and revise the old content ^^

Uncle lives a very fulfilling life at his antique shop. It's peaceful and quiet for the most part, just how he likes it. Of course, he's a skilled chi wizard, so he knows better than to actually let the universe know that he's content. So he complains.

A lot.

Then one day, a basket containing three infant magical ponies arrives, and his peaceful life goes out the window...to be replaced with, perhaps, something a little more than contentment.

The universe, apparently, is smarter than he gave it credit for, because now he has "Three More Things!" to complain about to hide just how much they mean to him.

Thank you to my wonderful editor: Jiren! Feel free to support them and their stories!

Milky Way is just your average unicorn, she has friends, family, and is decent with magic. The only significant thing about her was her ability to read the stars using herbs to tell fortunes for some quick bits. But that will soon change when she passes through a strangely placed mirror in the Everfree Forest after gathering her herbs from Zecora. She awakes to find multiple injuries on new body parts including arms and hands, and flesh. But she loses it when she finds that she has no magic. Instead, she has... Something else... Something dangerous... Will the habitants of this strange new world help her figure out a new life and how to get home?

In a world where 12 nations rule all and worship the stars, there is a darker secret between the 12 leaders of the horoscope nations. Each sector has their own rules and styles and way of life. You will only ever be allowed to have a romantic interest in other signs who are compatible with you. Everyone else is forbidden. Everyone in their sector is different, but yet is pressured to act the same. The leaders must show no desire to be in any relationship, compatible or not, to be able to properly make the best decisions without complicated emotions getting in the way. So what will happen when two leaders fall in love? How will they be able to hold that secret, as well as the many others that the leaders are hiding from the subjects?

If you are sensitive to profanity or suicide/ self-harm, please DO NOT read this story! I won't go into too much detail about how this will work, but I do not want anyone to feel worse anxiety or depression if you have either of these illnesses. I suffer from these myself, but this will suffice as an outlet for me, so please, don't worry. Thank you for your cooperation.

Also, keep in mind that everybody has different points of view on their sign and the others. I'm going off of my own view of what I've seen on my own, and all the other different signs. Nothing offensive will be said about the other signs, but more of just the general stereotypes of what each sign is will be used. Thank you, again, for your cooperation.

It’s been a long millennium, and the Princess of the Night is picking herself up off the ground. She’s been getting closer with Celestia, and she’s finally learning to rely on her emotional support. They are able to talk more openly than they have in centuries.
But a feeling of sadness remains that Luna hasn’t mentioned, one that’s haunted her since her foalhood. She denies its existence as best she can, and certainly won’t talk to Celestia about it. She doesn’t know what it is or why it’s there. Perhaps the time has come to find out.
A transgender narrative. Contains depictions of dysphoria; I tried to be as true as possible to my own experience, but some may find it upsetting.
It has been a long time since I have creatively written like this. So, I'm rusty. Please criticize my work if there is something about my writing that you don't like, and don't worry about sparing my feelings. I want to improve and, if you'll pardon the pun, get back on the horse.
