Twilight comes up with an idea to revolutionize Equestrian society.

Equestrian society does not approve of her idea.

Endcap to "What About Discord?" Twilight confronts Discord as to his true motives for getting her friends to exclude her.

Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to create the greatest spell of the past century – and then want to destroy it.

It's too dangerous to use, she says. It's too tempting. It can't help you the way you think it can.

Well, Starlight Glimmer knows a thing or three about temptation. She'll prove to Twilight that this spell – this magnificent book – is too important to destroy. That it can help ponies.

She just has to survive using it, first.

Second place in the May 2018 WriteOff.

(This is an old story I wrote three years ago during season 1)

Twilight Sparkle's birthday has come around, and Rainbow Dash is unimpressed with Rarity's present. When Applejack pokes a bit of fun with her friend, Rarity becomes unusually upset. Twilight Sparkle investigates her friend's feeling, learning something she never expected about her friend and why she is truly suited to be the element of Generosity.

On the edge of Sweet Apple Acres lies a grave, marked with a wooden cross. Nopony knows who it belongs to. And for Daring Do, that’s a problem. One that she intends to solve. But how can you make the world remember someone that time forgot?

Entry eleven in time changes everything.

Probably the best thing to happen in Discord's long life was finding the magic of friendship. As much as the old Chaos Lord might complain, without it he would never have found so many that were dear to his heart.

When that heart finds itself empty, he comes to the Princess to ask a favor: allow him the opportunity to bring friendship to other dark hearts. All she has to do is lend him a statue.

The rest is in his chaotic claws.

Death tag - no horrible murder, just a few mentions and the natural consequences of time.

It's always hard to say goodbye, and few know this better than those who are burdened with immortality. Discord was always distant from ponies, viewing them as lesser beings at best, and mere toys at worst. Until he met Fluttershy.

He just didn't expect it to be so hard to say goodbye.

Discord says goodbye.

With Twilight now on the throne as Ruler of Equestria, the royal sisters have retired to the small island community of Silver Shoals. However, their long awaited retirement isn't going quite as smoothly as they might have hoped. It seems that when ruling a nation for over a millennia, one might not think too much about the work that goes into living a normal life.
