This story is a sequel to Eclipse

Page needs a vacation.

He's not getting a vacation.

What he does get, is... how do they put it? Brand new exciting opportunities.
He never wanted to be a Prince, nor to rule. But he's stuck with the job, which means having ponies relying on him.
So he's doing his best.
Which would be fine, except ponies seem happy to keep finding brand new ways to make it harder for him.

I have lived my entire life among the ice at the top of the world with my pod. I knew little of the world outside of the ways of We of the Sea, and as a filly, that suited me just fine. But one day, the steel whales came, and on their backs, they carried creatures not unlike myself, yet wholly different. For while I swam in the sea, they walked on the land and flew through the air. Yet they reminded me of my kind, so curious, so tragic, and so infinitely precious. Where they did not understand, they sought to learn with a foolish stubbornness. Where they wandered far from home, they extended their hooves in friendship.

Where they waged their wars, they fought with a violent savagery that was frightening to me.

As I held a dear friend close, the breath fleeing from his body, I only wanted to know one thing.

Why?

One day in Canterlot, a mysterious violinist comes into town looking for a job. But after he's hired by Fancy Pants, he accidentally lets out a secret, he's an alicorn. But why is he ashamed of himself? Is it because he's an alicorn, or illiterate, or is it something else entirely?

After both of the Princesses took him under their wings, they are bound to not only help him, but to find out what he's hiding.

A Warning: This story contains a kind of charater peice of an OC Alicorn. It also contains light F/F shipping along with light M/M shipping. Also contains some dark elemtents as well as a few, (what one might call) sad moments.

But if you are interested in a story that is about an alicorn accepts himself as he is, opens up to his past secrets, then by all means, read on.

P.S. In case you haven't noticed, I've taken the advice from Flutter_Bat about editing this again and combining chapters as well. Hopefully I've improved the story. But if anyone finds a mistake, please let me know in the comments so I could fix them as soon as possible.

And a special thanks towards Ariin for editing and pokewarrior21 for proofreading. And a huge thank you to Solereclaimer & Snoman for helping me reedit this.

Music for the 1st and 3rd Movement is from the soundtrack of "The Red Violin." And for the 4th Movement, Music of Zadok the Priest, coronation anthem No. 1 by G.F. Handel; and the Flashmob of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th Movement.

This story is a sequel to My Name is Harmonic

Say... Remember how I used to say that the story "My Name is Harmonic"* that I thought I had as far as I could with the story and I have no idea how to take it further? Well as it turns out that an idea hit me over the head and suddenly I'm writing this sequel to the story.

So anyway, the story starts off four years after the end of the story. On Prince Harmonic's birthday, the prince decided to at last pop the question to his consort, Color Spectrum. What follows is the life and times of these two along with the challenges that they will be facing.

Warning: This story is M/M shipping. Now I promise that there will be no clop in it. But if you're not into stories like this, you know where the exit buttons are. (P.S. The reason why the sex tag is on this thing is because there will be some little innuendos but nothing more. I put this on to be safe in the near future.)

* Author's note: It is highly recommended on my part that before you get into this story, read the previous story, it will make a whole lot more sense.

Music in the 4th Movement is "The Lullaby of the Bells" from the 1943 film, Phantom of the Opera. And Vitali - Chaconne [violin solo version] by Stepan Grytsay

A huge thank you to PrinceCelestia for the artwork for this fic. As well as a huge thank you to SoleReclaimer for editing.

White night an albino thestral (bat-pony) has always been teased by other thestrals because of his appearance. Some even went as far as calling him gay, this hurt the most however because he couldnt admit to anyone that he actually was. He cracks under the pressure of constant harassment of the other night guards. He is dismissed from the night guard for assaulting his commanding officer after hearing him talking about how much of a failure he is as a night guard because of his pigment deficiency and orientation. After an accident while being interrogated he leaves Canterlot behind. He searches for a new life somewhere nopony knows him. A quiet little desert town called Apploosa.

Young Nictis had one dream: to serve his hive by becoming an Infiltrator, the most vital and vaunted role a changeling could aspire to. To hide in plain sight among the other species, blending in, while gathering the vital emotional energies that fueled his people. Few were deemed worthy of the dangerous job. He was one of the few nymphs selected for training, in the hopes that one of them would develop the skills needed to be entrusted with such a treacherous task.

But when a training expedition ends in tragedy, Nictis finds himself thrust into the role not to serve his hive and people, but to preserve his own life. Separated from the hive, alone, he must put what little training he has to the test. He must blend in with the hive's greatest source of food, and its most dangerous enemy: the ponies of Equestria.

(This story takes place in the same continuity as Fragments, but stands on its own. Reading that story isn't necessary for this one.)

This story is a sequel to A Different Perspective

Both the House of Path and Herd Path enjoy strong growth in the years following their establishment. Like all such things though, they both have their highlights and lowlights. These are vignettes in the lives of the children of Twilight, Path, Free, & Roseclaw, from foals to young adults.

This is a series of stand-alone stories of events that occur after the events of A Different Perspective, which I strongly recommend that you read first.
My collaborator, AlaskaIsCold, has written some of these and I mostly just edited them.

Sandbar and Gallus have been dating for a while, Smolder and Ocellus too. Only they know about each other's relationships. Of course, they would tell Silverstream and Yona, but Silver has a bit of a habit of accidentally revealing secrets and Yona has the tendency to blurt things out. Then, all that changes when a couple of mares find out. Now, the four friends must decide how to come out to their friends, families, and everyone in-between.

Warning: contains gayness, cuddles, and M/M and W/W. If you are not comfortable with these things don't read on.
