A gift for my incredibly awesome buddy, Mushroom. Congratulations on everything you do, and keep kicking ass. May the world never stop you.

Everyone always asked Tank where he was going.

He never knew how to answer them. How could one say that when time eroded everything else away, there became less and less meaning in a purpose.

Everyone always tells Twilight that the ones who love us never truly leave us.

But that's a lie. It's always been a lie.

Things that live must also die. It's simply the cycle of life, and that cycle doesn't care about love or the pain it causes.

Until one day, that cycle is broken by a forgotten figure from her past: a little tortoise who's not so little anymore.

This story is, first and foremost, a gift for the incomparable Mushroom, who clearly must be some sort of undiscovered species of fungus dog since we definitely don't deserve her. I have it on good authority that this story gave her Many Feelings, and I hope it gives them to you, too. :)

This also won first place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting '2021 Gift Fic Exchange' contest portion, which is neat.

Except that Starlight is not very good at learning from her mistakes.

In the middle of the night, Rarity is awoken by a noise from downstairs.
But it's alright, because all she needs to do is quickly make sure everything's okay. Then she can go back to bed.
Then it'll be over.

Winner of the horror-themed 4^th Koren's Kontest for the My Little Story Contest writing group. Originally this was done in an hour and unedited. This version here has received some slight refinement. The prompt was 'Mirror'.

Try as she might, the weather's just not Rarity's medium.

Set during the events of Magical Mystery Cure.

At her worst, Vignette Valencia cared nothing about reality, seeing it as little more than her personal plaything.

There are many ways to make someone care about the world around them. Destroying their phone is one, but suppose the Rainbooms took an alternate approach...

Rated Teen for brief violence, mild innuendo, and abbreviated profanity. An ineligible entry in my Villain Exchange Program contest.

When Luster Dawn joins the School of Friendship in the middle of the academic year, the first student she meets is her roommate, a kirin who’s more than eager to introduce herself and show Luster around... but not before telling her about her awkward first day.
