This story is a sequel to Cutie Marks and Broken Wings

Learning how to fly had been the start of Tawny's life: a real one, not the shoebox-sized concrete cage her captor had neatly shoved her into as a filly. But the shoebox had been familiar, if claustrophobic, and safe—a known quantity of hoofsteps and ceiling cracks, unlike the outside world of Equestria.

Learning how to live was proving to be infinitely more complicated.

Fourth place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting 'Expanding Universes II' contest. Each entrant was tasked with expanding the universe established in another author's story—my prompt story was Holtinater's Cutie Marks and Broken Wings .

Cover art by a lovely unknown artist! If anyone knows the name of the artist in question, please let me know, I would love to credit them.

Cherry Berry is an earth pony. Sometimes. And that's not the least of her problems; her insomnia is getting worse, and she can't keep her secret to herself any longer.

Winner of the Cherry Berry 'new horizons' contest on Quills and Sofas.
Featuring Cherry Berry and Berryshine (also known as Berry Punch) as two sisters with a dark and mysterious secret.

EDIT: Likely to get a second chapter soon, as people have asked for one.

This story is a sequel to Auntie Tia's Matchmaking Service

When Flurry Heart met Cozy Glow, sparks flew. A few things were bound to catch on fire.

2022 UPDATE:
Finally, i have a direction for this story! I have several chapters in the works and a plan for how this romance will play out. The rating of the story will change from E to T because I want to plumb a little deeper into Cozy's dark past and how that will affect their relationship. Be warned, there will be some limited gory stuff in a later chapter. Relapses happen, after all. But the course of true love never did run smooth, and Cozy and Flurry need a few bumps in the road before they find their happily ever after. Thanks for your patience if you were one of the people who waited on me for an entire year!

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there was a royal couple who ruled together and created harmony for all the land...

This story is a sequel to Patterns

It started with doubt, and despite their struggles and best efforts, Twilight and Rarity were forced to make a difficult decision. Months later, they have to confront the fallout, and maybe rebuild bridges that were broken.

Written as an entry to the second Quills and Sofas Expanding Universes contest, wherein we were given another entrant's story and wrote a sequel, prequel or related story for it. I got Undome Tinwe's wonderful Patterns.

Thank you to the entrants over at Quills and Sofas for their wonderful feedback (and sorry, there are so many of you to list!)

Thank you to applejackofalltrades for the cover art! Here are his DeviantArt and Twitter!

This story is a sequel to Professional Fitting

Rarity has a plan.

She can't quite bring herself to say what it is-- she's nervous, perhaps even a little scared. Saying it would make it very real, and she can't quite handle it being so real just yet.

Whether or not she says it, though, one thing is for sure: Twilight will find a way to screw it all up.

An entry in the Quills and Sofas Expanded Universe contest. This fanfiction was written and posted with permission as an expansion of AFanaticRabbit's fic Professional Fitting. It is absolutely required reading! Don't try to read this fic without it!

Normally, I try to link everyone who read and commented during the contest, but that was a whopping 22 people this time around! Instead, I'll just send out a heartfelt thank you to all the folks at Q&S, with a special shoutout to Seer for organizing this behemoth of an event. Check out the other entries here!
