One timeline after another, Twilight and Spike are thrown into a world of Starlight's morbid machination. Another tragic end to Equestria, another circumstance of failure.

The frigid wind does little to ease Twilight's thoughts as a simple question plagues her mind:

"What happened here?"

Takes place during the Season 5 finale.

Sunset Shimmer lives her lonely days in a beautiful but empty world that she can control with her tablet. Her dreams and memories are the only company she has.

Inspired by the anime short film Shelter.

A long, long time ago, there was a knight who set out on a noble quest to save a fair maiden and, if possible, slay the dragon keeping her captive.

Only... things don't always go as planned.

Many thanks to the incredibly talented hattonslayden for letting me use this picture for the cover art. Check out his work some time!

Update: featured? Oh my... I feel all tingly inside...

Sunset Shimmer goes for a walk once evening, just to relax and unwind. On her walk she meets an old classmate of hers, a young man that was the victim of one of her crueler and more vindictive escapades as Canterlot High's head bully. She's changed for the better, but after seeing the result of her former handiwork she'll never forget the mistakes of the past.

This is a one shot I'm doing because I'm feeling particularly sad right about now, partially inspired by Pink Floyd's song 'Keep Talking'. It's just an experiment with a more rapid type of writing style, one that I hope goes over well with you folks.

My name is Aran, and I have lived in Equestria for almost a year now. I don't remember how I arrived to Equestria, but I can never forget what happened when I arrived. Vivisection, the betrayal of trust, and speciesism. This is my story of how the so-called paradise was turned into a prison with only one way out.

Sunset was walking on the street, in a freezing blizzard. She was exhausted and was about to give up, until she noticed a small log cabin on the top of the hill, one never before seen by the girl.

Once she steps in, she encounters an unexpected trio, and a conversation that turns her life around.

Note: Rated this as teen due to mild swearing, use of alcohol alongside the presence of death.

This story is a sequel to Love Conquers All

Anon has surrendered to Cadance because of loneliness. Now it is her duty to reform him, but sadly, she has no idea how. She asks her fellow alicorns for advice. Things go haywire pretty fast.

Why do ponies dream? Why do we all seem to dream the same dreams?

What if we started to dream new things?

Discord said he wanted to make our dreams more interesting. Add some spice to our boring nocturnal lives. Nothing dangerous – just a bit of excitement to talk about in the mornings.

"Stop worrying so much, Twilight Sparkle," he said. "After all, dreams never hurt anypony."

How I wish he’d been right.

Not long after her release back into the general population of Ponyville, Screw Loose vanishes without a trace. During a search of her home one week after she was last seen, a video recording of her apparent final hours is found. A video explaining that she was being hunted by creatures which evaded sight. A video intended as a warning.

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I woke up today to find that everypony I have ever known has vanished. I'm alone in the world.

Help me.
