Spike finally admits something that he's been hiding from Twilight for a long time.

Ponyville has a problem: Twilight's friends all switched Cutie Marks, and the musical numbers are flying thick and fast.
Lyra has a problem: She can't handle the way musical numbers get into your head and take you over.
Bon Bon has a problem with that.

Reviews and other word-of-mouth:
"I just can't find words for how much I enjoy the ideas on display here. … I didn't expect to be rating something this highly, this quickly." –Bradel
"The Lotus Eaters was the story that made me realize horizon wasn't just good, he was really good. Then Fugue State showed me he was really good repeatedly." –Bad Horse
"a strange but intriguing story ... [horizon's] so good at this ponyfic lark that it's still a highly satisfying read. ★★★★" - Louder Yay
"This story is weird, and I mean that in a good way. … [Horizon] thought about how ponies might react if [musical numbers] were a constant in Equestrian life." –Chris

Fugue State now has a sequel!

Maudie Pie can't get over her younger sister's colorless coltfriend. Even more worrisome is this isn't the first divide between herself and stoic little Pinkamena.

Is Maudie out of touch? Or is her flighty anxiety just acting up again? The best advice would come from a theoretical pony who thinks like Mena but acts like Maudie.

Good thing some sisterly bonds can hop between realities.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

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.

Twilight and Trixie are going at each other again. Starlight can't take it anymore. Now that she thinks about it, why are they always fighting? What reason could they have?

A quick comedy story I wrote to keep myself busy. Cover art by Tsitra360.
Edit: Why did this get featured?!
Another edit: EQUESTRIA DAILY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Also has an audio reading here!

Because I know you, Twilight. I know that when you have concerns, they consume you. So first I will tell you, as simply as possible: no, alicorns are not immortal, in the purest sense of the word.

Celestia's reassurance should be a relief, but true to form, Twilight can't stop thinking.

Contains discussion of death.

Sir Anon and Celestia have a talk about the largest, bloodiest war in equestrian history. A war so horrible, so terrible, that hundreds had their lives taken.

Short little rewrite of another old greentext of mine. Was a oneshot from a writing thread. Rewritten from the ground up, using the old story as a skeleton, with the rewrite adding the meat.

(that sounds weird)

Featured on 1/12/23! Thank you all.

Shining Armour had a great life, everything he could ever want. He was happy.

That is until the Monster arrived.

This is a short chapter from a larger story I'm working on. I really, really liked the way it turned out, so I decided to post it by itself before it inevitably gets rewritten for the third time.

Just kidding, the larger story has been written, here!

Alternate Universe - Due to the Cutie Mark Crusaders being non-existent. (Until the full story gets released) Along with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's backstories being different.

Slice Of Life - Just an excerpt randomly from Rarity's and Sweetie Belle's life.

Teen - Talks about Abandonment, foal neglect, foal abuse.

Although the image is directly from the show, the cover art was cut out by IronM17 on Deviant Art.

The very much unauthorized re-write of Jonny Bench's story called The Crippling Secret. I thought it would be fun to re-write it, but Jonny himself hasn't been on since half a year ago, so-

I did some reverse-image-searching, and I think the cover image comes from sjui00. Hopefully they don't mind my use.

Story was released 10/22/22, but I really, really rushed writing it. Usually, my stories take about five drafts before I'm happy with it. This one, I only did two then published it. On 10/24/22, I re-edited the story to flow better.
