How do you explain to someone that you want to be something else?

Twilight Sparkle lived a long and happy life, now there's only the matter of what comes afterwards.

Authors Note: Another story out of the way... let the progress train continue!

"Sub-Level Five doesn't exist." That's the official statement of the Stairway company.

Washing out from the Night Guard program is usually a death sentence to any similar career. When Astral Sentinel was asked if he was interested in a security job, the Thestral obviously jumped at the chance.

There was just one oddity about the job. Well, there were quite a few, but mainly just one.
He just never, ever could acknowledge the existence of Sub-Level Five.

When a complete lock-down traps the Thestral inside the odd facility, he has to break that one rule. As the security systems begin to eradicate all life inside the building, Astral has to venture down to the elevators that officially don't exist, to a floor nopony alive will speak of.

He soon finds out that some things are best left buried beneath rock and stone.

"This story is simultaneously horrifying and adorable." -Witchery

Takes place far after Season 9. Although, it could take place at any time...(or in the Radverse, as some people call it.) This thing took on a mind of its own.

Seriously.

Read on if you want to join Astral for the ride.
I hope you brought your crowbar.

In later chapters, loose spoilers for Timeless, Sunspots, and Cure for a Toxin
Warnings for creepy atmosphere, gore, violence, and brief mentions of sexual content/assault (nothing explicit, only implied.)

Despite this being a horror story with unpleasant elements, it's not grimdark or a depressing tale. Lots more ups and downs, but overall it's a positive read of good vs evil, love and fluff; those are the types stories I write, after all. I just want to let everyone know what they're getting into, and don't want any readers blindsided due to some of the content.
(Not a romance involving a 'herd')

Twilight Sparkle prides herself on following and sticking to her plans, but she isn't as organized as everypony thinks. Her master list, the plan for her life, has an item that she has never been able to check off; and the time has come to fix that. How hard can it be? All she needs to do is go on a date and get a kiss.

Now available in hard or soft cover!

Aim for the stars, at least if you miss you'll land on the moon.

Twilight Sparkle loves the night sky. Rainbow Dash wants to reach it. An unlikely pair make the perfect team to fulfil their dreams.

Two ponies brought together by reading and the feelings that can develop between such opposites.

More characters will be added as the story progress along with a few useful OC characters. The picture includes the Equuleus constellation.

Twilight has had feelings for a while, feelings she can't explain. What happens when the one she has these feelings for also has these feelings? And what will happen when a mare is forced to choose between the mare she loves or her life's goal?

Even the toughest of us have emotions. When a certain cyan daredevil is feeling under the weather, Twilight ventures to help Rainbow out of her rut, and possibly gain more than she had hoped for.

How can one tell if they're real? Who's to say that we're not all part of something else's imagination? Do you believe someponies real by the warmth of their skin? Or the feeling of their breaths down your neck? How can one tell? But that is only one of my many theories.

Is it possible to have two lives within one body? Two different personalities inside one pony? Pinkamena tries to understand the concept of being locked away inside a certain rambunctious ponies body, and why she can't be heard, or seen by the ponies around her.
Is it possible to feel love for the ponies around you, but you're not aloud to tell them? Is it right to love your other personality in such a way you should love somepony else?

Includes: PinkamenaxPinkie, FlutterDash, and RariJack

The Luxury Lotus Spa prides itself on rest, relaxation, and comfort. Sometimes they do get referrals from therapy clinics or have clients with deeper pain. Both Lotus and Aloe are well-qualified to handle these sessions, but often the responsibility of running the place leaves no time for the personal touch.

Enter Redheart. When she accepted the twins' invitation to moonlight as a spa therapist, it meant she could break away from the responsibilities and rush of her hospital duties. The slower pace and casual caseload gives her a chance to refocus, get back to the basics, and use some of the skills she learned before becoming a nurse.

Done as a commission for Doomslayer3. Think of it as a sort of novelized ASMR, if you like.
