Being distracted every once in a while never hurt anyone, an innocent trick a mind can pull to lull you into an alternate reality. However, perpetual forgetfulness can quickly become an overcasting issue, especially during what was supposed to be a fun outing turned somber due to a subconscious that keeps trying to seemingly destroy everything.

Though, even on our darkest nights, serendipity can still have a part to play in this mindless game we call life. A bright, flickering light to guide us on our absent-minded journey of finding love.

For some reason, Twilight and Rainbow Dash's friends think they're dating even if they show absolutely no signs of doing so! They were just really close friends...

Twilight's been having weird, unfamiliar urges ever since she became an alicorn. Like an intense desire to grow flowers, or the fact she can't stop chewing on her wings when she's distracted. As it turns out, you can't just suddenly inherit the magic of all three pony tribes without getting the instincts to match, and instincts can be a powerful thing. Doubly so when you're not used to them, and especially when they're telling you that your best friend with the gorgeous wings would make the perfect partner to share a nest with.

Wait, what was that last part?

Originally this was supposed to be a birthday gift for Celysus, but I fell in love with the idea so it's gonna be a full fic now. You can't stop me.

Twilight has been in love with Rainbow Dash for quite some time now, and plans to tell her on their next trip: A resort to Mount Everhoof. The disaster that follows may force her to confess earlier than planned... or take that secret to the grave.

When the weight of time - both past and future - comes to bear, Twilight writes one, final letter. Seeking closure, she may just find something more.

Princess Celestia sang a song, now there's a voice telling her she's going to become immortal?

Now with a Chinese Translation!

This is a TwiDash story. Actually, the first story I've had any sort of shipping involved. I tried before with an earlier story, but writing those mushy-wushy scenes made me feel dirty. So I avoided it. Until now. I bit my lip and forced myself to write this, and I actually felt emotional writing this story. Does that mean I did a good job, or that it's currently four in the morning and I should really get some sleep? Dunno. You can be the judge, however.

I chose TwiDash because I think it's the best ship. Fight me.

Also, I don't hate Alicorn Twilight. I think it's cool. I just had an idea for a story that I thought, if done right, could be pretty emotional. I'm not against Alicorn Twilight.

Partly inspired by I’m not small, I’m aerodynamic! just because I absolutely adore the idea that Rainbow is super short. I’m going to add that to every story involving Rainbow from here on out.

Twilight has been spending time reading up on the dynamics of pegasi flight for years as she's been learning how to use her new appendages. Rainbow Dash has proved to be a great flight instructor. Now Twilight feels she finally has enough knowledge to speak to Rainbow about the limits of pegasi flight. But what is with this desire to learn more? Is it simply a burst in curiosity, or something more?

All mares have needs. Even if they’re totally uncool and undeniably lame. Rainbow Dash is the one exception to the rule. After a month away from her marefriend, she wasn’t even the tiniest bit lonely. And she definitely didn’t need - or want - a hug. Hugs were lame, and she was Rainbow Danger Dash. Hugging would only slow her down.

It's the first Hearth's Warming since Twilight and Rainbow Dash started dating. Twilight said anything that Rainbow Dash would get for her would be perfect, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about when she puts it off until it's practically Hearth's Warming. Nothing to worry about when she can't decide on a gift. Nothing to worry about when she has to get a gift as awesome as she is.

Nothing to worry about at all...

They asked for a story with Twilight and/or Rainbow Dash, and either Slice of Life or some cute shipping.

When a freak accident causes Rainbow Dash to lose her trademark defining trait, Twilight worries that it might have taken her spirit, soul, and her love away along with it.

With the help of a friend, maybe there is a way she can help her find it again.

Perhaps a trip to a very special place is in order.
