Jasper was not in the Crystal Empire when it vanished. His wife Agate was. Separated from his family across time, he writes letters in the hopes that she may eventually read them someday, however far away that may be.

Written for Bicyclette's Twilight Files contest.

This story is a sequel to Symbiosis

Just keep digging. As long as we break through soon, we'll live again. Just keep digging.

Second place entry in the Expanding Universes #2 Competition for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group.
Our prompts were to do a sequel or prequel to a story submitted by another user, and I wrote this based on Silent Whisper's wonderful piece Symbiosis
Lovely cover art is also by Silent!

Rainbow Dash turns into a ferret. Everypony is somewhat happy about this. Since Rainbow Dash is no longer a pony, her feelings of distress and terror don't count against that.

This is not a comedy.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Genre-Swap Panic. We were given a prompt and a genre that we couldn't write. In my case, that was "The spell wasn't supposed to turn Rainbow Dash into a ferret, I swear!", and my forbidden genre was comedy. Rainbow Dash Ferret Horror, folks! It's a thing now. This one won third place, too! My prize was... getting told I need therapy in the comments, which is, you know, fair. I'm a writer. My brain works in weird directions.

Preread by Jay, nagolucky, Mushroom, applezombi, Scoping Landscape, Emotion Nexus, RedParade, and Sunlight.

Rainbow Dash lives through a repetitive nightmare. She just wants it all to stop.

Written for a Quills and Sofas Speedwriting panic where we were given a list of randomly generated drawing prompts to pick from and write with. I won’t list the ones I used because I ended up using multiple. Very few minor changes were made to this story.

CW for: blood, derealization, implied death, implied suicide

It's almost midnight, and Sunset Shimmer opens an old envelope that's been lying in her room. It won't be the first or last mistake she ever makes.

When Sky Stinger is captured by an unlikely foe, it's up to Vapor Trail and some of her closest friends Angel Wings and Midnight Strike to get him back. Can this group of unlikely ponies rescue Sky before it's too late? Will this story fuse into a coherent narrative by the end? Who knows, I sure don't!

This story was an Exquisite Corpse effort hosted by Lofty Withers on the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Server.

An exquisite corpse story is a collaborative writing exercise in which a group of people try to tell a story: the catch is that each author can only read what the author before them wrote and must continue despite not knowing the entire story. This was the result.

Chapter One: The Red Parade (he sucks)
Chapter Two: TheLegendaryBillCipher
Chapter Three: Silent Whisper
Chapter Four: Zontan
Chapter Five: TheDriderPony
Chapter Six: _Moonshot (godspeed)
Chapter Seven: Lofty Withers
Chapter Eight: Shaslan
Chapter Nine: Atom Smash
Epilogue: Lofty Withers again

“I heard you two mention the sickness. Nasty business, that.”

Applejack set her jaw. “Yeah. It is. Lotta good ponies who did nuthin’ wrong sufferin’ from it.”

“Good? Seriously? Those degenerate colt-cuddlers?” Spoiled Rich chuckled. “Well as far as I’m concerned, it has only one thing going for it – it’s killing all the right ponies.”

An Apple family member makes angry demands of Princess Twilight in the middle of a personal crisis.

Trigger warnings for HIV, the AIDs Crisis, homophobia and death.

I started writing this back in early 2018. It took me three years to finish because of the subject matter and the fact it's a non-linear narrative. All I ask is that you give it a chance to make sense and it will.

Many thanks to my pre-readers who looked at this in its various stages over the past three years: Clever Hooves, Suni, TheLostNarrator and Neighrator Pony

[EDIT] Wow, this stayed in the feature box from June 29th 2021 to July 3rd 2021! Thank you all!

It is the middle of the night. Sweetie Belle cannot sleep. She thirsts for a glass of water.

The dream realm is one that is difficult to navigate and even harder to understand. Luna knows this well, but perhaps it hasn't taken well to being passed to someone unfamiliar.

Birthday fic for Zontan! Originally a Quills and Sofas Speedwrite Panic Fiction where it placed first. Cover art by Snow Quill!
