Time and water have a lot in common.

They erode stone, help plants grow, and follow their own course... usually.

When an unusual tide carries with it a far-flung summer fling, Sunny Starscout discovers an exception to the rule and a mysterious teenage colt who may change her life forever.

A Sunny Starscout x Sandbar shipfic written for the 2022 Crackship Contest.

It’s Thursday! Time for Equestria's most popular weekly talk show, Cozy's Glowpinions! The host isn't exactly sane, but she sure loves to be heard. Princess Twilight says that thanks to these broadcasted self-therapy sessions, Cozy is on the cusp of a real redemptive breakthrough.

She's been saying that for nearly 40 episodes.

We're live on-air in five...four...three...two...

(Teen rating for an infrequent gag of Cozy casually cussing on air.)

Now with a critical review!

Co-authored by my good friend Str8aura, whose solo works you should totally check out. Are you a fan of my Snippet Series but wish it had more than fifty additional stories in its anthology? Your wish has been granted.

This story is a sequel to The Last Pony on Earth

Alexandria; a name its founders hope might again become synonyms with scholarship in a world that only four months earlier hosted human civilization. Now only the last remnants known as the Human Preservation Initiative have retained their species, the remainder of the population has been transformed completely into ponies. Adapted to survive in a world now saturated with magic, the ponies of Alexandria settle in for what they expect to be long and boring lives.

They are mistaken. Between the gradual approach of winter, being completely new to the magic of their bodies, and the HPI constantly breathing down their backs, life in Alexandria proves to be anything but boring.

Lightning Dust would always be an angry monster that seeks to ruin Rainbow Dash's life whenever possible. At least, that's what Rainbow Dash told herself. So when she sees that Lightning Dust is dating a mare within the Apple Family, she comes to that exact conclusion. Instead of being proven right once more, she learns a valuable lesson about just how deserving of love "monsters" can be.

Until yesterday, my life was no different than anybody's. Go to work, pay the bills, sleep. Today, I woke up to a world without humans. The streets are empty, the power grid is running down, and not another soul is in sight. That might not be the worst thing, if I wasn't also a pony.

Where is everyone? Why is this happening to me?

Will l stay sane long enough to starve?

A huge thanks to Zutcha for all his hard work on the art of this story. Also a huge thanks to my editors Two Bit and Sparktail, for tolerating my half-written crap.

Hitch never expected he would be here, making friends with the pegasi and unicorns. Yet here he is, for better or for worse, and in this moment, he takes the opportunity to think back to his past. Everything that has he's encountered has made him the pony he is - how could any of these other ponies possibly understand that?

Pipp, however, might just understand more than he realizes.
