A Twin Canterlots story—first in the Brass Ring series

If it had been just the prosthetic right arm, Rose Brass might have been certified fit for duty—but when the docs also concluded her left eye couldn’t be saved, that was that. The army captain found herself down-checked and retired to the permanent disability list. Without any other direction, she moved back to the city where she’d grown up. Now, thanks to the kindness of strangers, she’s washed up at the doors of an organization dedicated to assisting veterans just like her.

Rose visits VSCC some fourteen years before “Rainbow Rocks”—about twelve and a half years before MLPFIM begins.

In one timeline, Discord decided that the best way to get a group of villains to learn friendship was to pretend to be a spooky old goat and strongarm them into trying to conquer Equestria together.

This would turn out to be a terrible plan.

In another timeline, Discord took five seconds to actually think and run this plan by someone else before jumping in head first. Maybe the cashier at Whinndy’s wasn't the best pony to ask for advice, but he loved the plan she suggested even more.

It too, was a terrible plan.

This story is a sequel to The Lay of Canterlot High

He was at the head of a mighty host, sergeant in a great army of the voiceless 200 strong and growing. As they marched from Our Town in the northeast down towards the capitol, their numbers swelled, seeming to double with every three towns they passed through. The air in their camps was electric, brimming with promise, with hope, the hope that the revolution might succeed. All was going so well, he couldn't help but grin.

But it was still his fake grin, the one he wore to try to cover up the screams whirling around inside him. And as they settle down for the evening, preparing for the last leg of the journey, he desperately tries to stop them from escaping, from giving voice to his hidden fears.

But in the darkness of the night, however much of a sergeant he might be in the daytime, Party Favor is still the boy who cried himself to bed with laughter, and the fears he tried to leave behind are not done with him yet.

Wallflower has never been the most noticeable person, and it logically follows that she's never been the most sought after one; whether the selection be for sports teams, classroom groups, or social outings, she's been lucky to even be considered, let alone chosen.

Until today.

Now it's her turn to make a choice; reject the offer and return to her boring routine, or accept it and leave her old life behind forever?

First story in my "The Song of the Spheres" continuity.

Problem is, the way the elements do this isn't quite what they had in mind. At all.
