My roommate's name is Octavia, or "Tavi" for short. She likes vintage red wine, soft pillows, and long walks on the beach. But, more than anything, she loves music. She loves it with a passion that radiates with every burning color of the spectrum.

Each day I spend with her... or without her, I learn a little bit more about life, about the sick beat to which we all dance, whether we know it or not. I hope you don't mind if I say a few things about her. Just a few things. One can learn a lot from Tavi.

After all, she saved my life.

Playlist - Because Even Original Things Aren't Original

Lightning Dust has been in a bit of a rut ever since getting kicked out of the Wonderbolt Academy. Day after day, she's been sticking to a strict exercise regimen under the guidance of Cloudsdale's premier personal trainer, Haymaker. Her hope is that she'll unlock her true potential and show Haymaker how awesome she is, thus prompting him to use his connections to get her back into the Wonderbolts. No matter how many times Haymaker tells her it's impossible, Lightning simply refuses to listen.

Then one fateful night, Lightning Dust's training is interrupted by the appearance of her greatest idol, Wind Rider. It turns out he too has difficulty accepting reality, and he has his own, more nefarious schemes to get himself back in the game. Haymaker sees this as his last chance to save Lightning Dust from walking Wind Rider's path. And if that means rubbing salt in a few wounds and shattering a few dreams, then so be it.

Love.

It is a powerful emotion, the feeling of sheer ecstasy when in the presence of one the heart yearns for. It's the feeling of intimate connection deeper and more exhilarating than any on Earth. The feeling as though the entire world has disappeared and the only thing that is left is the two lovers locked in each others' embrace.

Caramel Apple knows this all too well. He has been harboring secret feelings for a certain unicorn for a long time, almost since they first met. But he has a problem; she's a high class filly from Canterlot, who has studied at the finest school in the realm and has a personal connection the Their Majesties themselves. He's just a working-class schlub who was born and raised in the boondocks who makes his living getting his hooves burned in his blacksmith's shop. He knows that there isn't any way that Twilight Sparkle will see him as anything more than a good friend.

Just goes to show you how little he knows.

Twilight Sparkle has recently transferred to Canterlot High. On top of tests, studying and all the drama that comes with that, Twilight also has to deal with monsters. Yeah, you heard right. Twilight finds herself embroiled into an age old conflict that could rip the world apart, if she doesn't step up and become a Guardian, a defender of earth from the forces coming forth from the Witching Hour. Twilight cannot face this threat alone, others will join her fight. But will it all be enough to stop the evil that's coming? Or will High School be what gets this young lady?

(A new story from the creator of Equestria Noir. While characters from that universe will be present in this story, strict knowledge on that series is not necessary to enjoy this story.)

You've just moved into a new house in a new neighborhood, and as you unload some boxes, a sexy, purple-haired girl calls you over and asks for help. You'd seen her a few times as you've come and gone, but you'd never asked her out. Now, she's asking if you'd help her with some groceries. You say yes, of course, but something tells you she wants more than just a little assistance . . . .

The first installment of "The Steam Collection". Second-person present-tense perspective set in the EG universe, based on a random scenario I saw and replied to on Facebook. Rated 'Teen' for some steamy moments—as close to sex as you can get and still keep it clean.

'To whoever gets this message, we're in desperate need of help.'

'Equestria...Equestria is on the brink of being destroyed. Sombra, Tirek and many other villains are taking over our world. The Ambassadors of Harmony are nowhere to be found and Celestia and Luna...Faust, Celestia and Luna. I don't know who you are and I don't care, just as long as you can save us. And if you can't do that, then at the very least...'

'Avenge us.'

Everyone wears a mask. A sweet, charming lady can hide a verbally abusive gold digger behind the smile. The foulest looking hobo can have a heart of gold, and for Diamond Tiara this is a lesson she knows all too well. There will be consequences for her little outburst. Consequences that are far larger than she can imagine

Takes place immediately after Crusaders of the lost Mark. So, ya know, spoiler alert

Contains: Some darn near deadly Daaawwww's and some horrific depictions of child abuse. (really, which depiction of child abuse isn't horrific?

Having been turned down by Twilight, Flash finds comfort in an unlikely source, Crystal Prep's resident rocker girl, Lemon Zest.
