It was a week before Nightmare Night, when Rarity decided to take a trip to Canterlot.

And while there, she meets a sweet, classy mare with a prismatic mane, and a habit of saying "Darling". But there's something about her that she finds just too familiar.

And as she'll learn, maybe there's more to this familiarity than meets the eye.

Update (4/8/2023): Now with a Dramatic Reading by Obab Scribbler

Author's Note (11/14):

Sweet Celestia.

Less than 24 hours live and this story has set three milestones for me. This is the first time I've had a story of mine be top of the Featured list, the first time I've had a story of mine get over 100 Likes, and the first time that a story of mine has reached over 1,000 views.

Thank you all so much. I am amazed.

Rainbow Dash can't seem to think of an idea to stop Tank from hibernating so she turns to writing questionable song lyrics and bad fan fictions for inspiration.

Sunset was devastated. It hurts, knowing what she's lost. Forced away from the only friends she's known, she feels like Anon-A-Miss has won. Somehow, she makes it home, and finds herself doing something she rarely does: watching television. Early in the morning hours, she's awoken by the sounds of a children's show with a man who wears a red cardigan.

Somehow, this soft spoken man reaches inside her and gives her peace with just eight words: "I Like You Just the Way You Are"

A tribute to a great man, and my own way of memorializing his life in one of my favorite shows. Like he said once, I may not be good at this, but I still enjoy it.

Featured story! Thanks so much for this! You're all wonderful people, and it's you that I like.

The 1980s. Advancements in technology, society, medicine, music, automobiles, and so much more flourished the decades. Like any time period, there was the best of times and there was the worst of times. And Amethyst Star remembers most of the good days, like when she was starting summer...

Sunset has had the same jacket ever since she came to Canterlot High. Rarity and the girls want to treat her to some new clothes, but some things are too important to be replaced.

Sunset's favorite jacket is looking pretty beaten up after that whole rainbow laser explosion, and she doesn't know the first thing about fixing leather. Obviously she knows someone who could help her, someone who's already agreed to be her friend. But after everything she's done, she doesn't really think she's in a position to be asking favors. She hasn't earned anyone's friendship yet, and she certainly doesn't deserve anyone's help. Still, she's got no other options. So she'll just have to swallow her pride and beg Rarity to take some pity on her.
Rarity certainly has her work cut out explaining to her how friendship works.

Set after Equestria Girls, but before Rainbow Rocks. No shipping. Just awkward, self-loathing Sunset and generous, understanding Rarity.

Battle scars are a constant reminder of what you survived. A scar simply means you were stronger than what tried to hurt you.

In a thrift store, Discord finds Twilight's other half of their matching necklaces. He is not upset at all. Nope, not one bit.

Thorax has a crush on a certain mare. What if she doesn't love him back? And how can he get her to notice him?

Short and simple fluff story. Second place in Sofa and Quill's Panic Speedwriting Contest #17. The prompt was "food." Contains no vore.

Fame and glory. For the longest time, this was all Spitfire needed. She had her Wonderbolts, some close friends, and the adoration of millions. However, when a newspaper posts and article about her love life—or rather, her lack of one—and those around her all get special someponies, Spitfire gets desperate. Desperate to go on a date with a clown.

This story was created for Jack the Army Guy's strange ship contest that was two months ago. I was mostly done with the story then, but life got in the way with my mom getting cancer, my own heart giving me problems, and just a whole pile of other problems. Just as the old sang goes, it never rains but it pours.

I have never seen a ship story between Troubleshoes and Spitfire so I decided to take it up. This was once a clop idea I had but never got around to writing. So here is the safe version, you all can think of the cloppy parts on your own.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the story, it was a lot of fun writing it. Thank you to Arbarano as always for the edits and the cover art belongs to jekidrawings.
