There exists between worlds a veil, one that cannot be parted under any circumstances.
Or can it?
One man's heartfelt yearning is granted when that veil is finally pierced, and his fondest wish bestowed, bittersweet though it may be.

He was an old collector... a bold collector.

Trinkets and souvenirs of times long gone; there was hardly a thing that he'd ever forgone.

Memories, experiences, things that once mattered-- it's inevitable, that one day those things may be shattered.

This story is expanded on in Splintershard!

It's been a year since a tragic accident took Applejack's parents. A year, and she still doesn't know what to do with herself. Encouraged by friends and family, she decides to spend the summer vacation at Fluttershy's beach house on Splendora Island. She's not sure if it's helping.

Then, one night, she finds something injured on the beach. No, not something. Someone.

What starts as good intentions steadily grows into something else. Whether that something else is good for Applejack is another matter entirely.

Inspired 100% by the cover art. The idea jumped into my skull and refused to leave until it was written out.

An electric train is bearing down on Canterlot, loaded with explosive fuels and toxic chemicals. If it were to derail, it would cause a disaster on an untold scale.

This story is a sequel to Meet The Parents

A moment of Adagio snuggling with her girlfriend quickly turns awkward when Adagio starts dozing into her own personal fantasies revealing some truths and inner... desires.

Rated T for sexual discussion and suggestive moments.

Fresh Apple was the strong patriarch of the Apple Clan, but everything must eventually fade. Applejack found this out before anypony.

After Trixie threw Starlight Glimmer's plant, Phyllis, into a trash can, Starlight and some of her friends struggle to restart Phyllis's "heart". Princess Twilight Sparkle would go as far as to risk Equestria's existence to save Phyllis's life.

Will Phyllis be saved? Or will there be a plant funeral?

And will Trixie's heart survive the sheer ridiculousness of the "crisis"?

Happens immediately after the season 9 episode "A Horse-Shoe In".

Last but definitely not least, special thanks to flutterJackdash for helping me edit this story.

This story is a sequel to Is a Shark Mare's Bark Worse Than Her Bite?

You are a unicorn stallion who has recently returned to your home in the town of Ponyville, after your recent vacation. As you unpack from your journey you notice a strange mare out in the rain.

Feeling pity, you invite them into your home and learn that they aren't all that they seem.

Another monster mare story for all of you. For those of you who are wondering, Irisa is an Argapony, her appearance is based off of Argus from Greek mythology. It's a monster mare/girl concept (aside from perhaps the Gazer Monster Girl, but that's based off of a Beholder), I haven't really seen explored, so I thought I would give it a try.

Just me, trying once more to fill in those monster mare niches.

History in Equestria is mostly written from the ponies' perspective, including some from other species speak the same language, but there are interesting stories untold from the animals perspective lives. Most of these stories explore this concept, while giving them voices to their encounters and relationships with the ponies of Equestria. (And that one exception)

Note from squawky:
(Caw! Actually, the word 'Equines' also apply to Zebras, donkeys, and other from the horse family; yet this story's perspectives mainly surround ponies. Unfair representation at this best!! [Also, we had bad case of bird flu. Crows don't normally say squawk, we say caw. We're not parrots, author! This one's on you for insisting on trivial poetry creative licensing. It's my biography, not yours!!]
