Argyle Starshine and Caela Fullbright live in Maretime Bay in a big lighthouse near the edge of town. It's been passed down on Argyle's side of the family for generations.

The couple are expecting a foal soon. On a night during a full moon, they have a conversation about the past, the present... and what the future might hold.

Hitch and Sunny look at an old window and contemplate the legacy of Twilight Sparkle.

Warning: Movie Spoilers!

Note: I have a cover art piece for this but didn't include it because I felt it was spoilers.

"Some stories are best told to none," Luna whispered.

Long ago, the stars disappeared. Then, somepony returned them. You won't find the tale in history classes or archives—only in the hearts of the mares who were there.

Cover Art is "Confused Sunburst" by ss50661 (Dash-Wang)

Starlight loses her sight in a near deadly accident. Her life changes significantly.

To Casketbase77, who proofread, Nitro Indigo, who has waited quite a long time for this to finally be finished, Supermarine Spitfire, who I'm relatively certain also wanted to see this when it was done although I am unsure, and Amit, whose stories I heavily based the structure and cover image of this one off of. We miss you, dude. You're quite possibly the best etymologist I've ever met.

God damn, I write too many sad stories. My next one will be funnier, I promise.

A (belatedly informed) entry into the My Little Pony Renaissance Contest. I promise it was! I just forgot to enter it!

This story is a sequel to Visiting Sunburst

Not long after Firelight visited Sunburst up in the Crystal Empire, Stellar Flare goes to visit Starlight at the School of Friendship so they can discuss Starlight's plans for the future. To put it lightly, the visit doesn't go as Stellar expected.

You don’t know anything about me. I was perfectly happy before you and your friends ruined what I built!

I don’t know what happened that led you to make your village without cutie marks. And I’m sorry my friends and I had to take it away.

You want to know what happened to me? I’ll show you!

And with these words, Starlight Glimmer transported herself and Princess Twilight through the time portal. However where she winds up is not where she expected. And she isn't alone either. Who is this pony from her past and how does he know so much about her?

Hearthswarming, the time of year when ponies all about Equestria come together, both family and friends, to kindle the love in their hearts and share gifts that speak more volume than words. By now, most were in their homes, or in the guest rooms of far away relatives, staying comfy and warm while the outside billowed and snowed, blanketing the landscape with a layer of white which twinkled under Luna’s bright moon.

However, not all ponies knew better, and for three close friends and lovers, this Hearthswarming Eve would prove to be a challenging night.

This was written for AndwhatIseeisme, for JingleMas 2020! They requested Starlight and Trixie shipping, and naturally I had to stalk them to see what they read and wrote. Once I caught my breath and put my pants back on, I noticed their love for a three way shipping of StarTrixBurst, so I rolled the dice and took the gamble and included him too. I hope you enjoy it!

Surf-on-the-Shore-Brings-Sand-to-the-Depths is a sea-pony. This, in itself, would not be strange, if any other sea-ponies had been seen in Equestria for the past 500 years.

Why, then, has he washed ashore now, covered in what look like hundreds of shark bites?

Written for the February Writing Contest of the World-Building Alliance - although, frankly, I'm not sure I've done enough world-building to even qualify. It started out as a more comedic endeavor, referencing the Gen. 1 song "Call Upon the Seaponies" from "Rescue at Midnight Castle" at every available opportunity, but it evolved into a romance after I listened to this song about ten-dozen times.

It is what it is. Inspiration struck, and I hammered it out. C'est la vie.

Now that Equestria is finally at peace, Starlight can begin to move forward with her life as the new headmare of the School of Friendship. Thankfully, she has Sunburst to help her out, at least most of the time. And she doesn't spend time secretly following him while he's going about his work. Absolutely not!

As summer is in full swing, Sunburst has accepted an invitation from Cadance to help with some new problems with Flurry Heart. With the clock counting down before he returns to the Empire, Starlight "kindly asks" that the two of them go on a date. Absolutely nothing will go wrong. It's not like the two of them can turn anything into a disaster zone given enough time.
