The Red Parade


Cars are still parked outside. If the rapture had happened, why was it unrecognizable? Why was the sky blue? Why did no one tell me? Do these things not announce themselves?

The stars have been Celestia's tireless companions since the heat of the sun first scorched her soul clean. For a thousand long, lonely years they have been the only constant in her life. Their soft voices just barely cresting the horizon as she pulls the sun into place before they go silent for another day.

Some days she wishes she never heard them at all.


Written in an hour for a speedwrite at Quills and Sofas and presented here with some editing. Thanks to the everyone in that server, really. I wouldn't be the writer I am nor the writer I'm going to be were it not for y'alls presence in my life. Special thanks to the lovely, talented, and heart-wrenchingly kind Seer for editing assistance.

Twilight's new delegate exchange means Applejack and Pinkie Pie are left in Ponyville to greet the visiting delegate. Unfortunately for them, the Whinnyapolis delegate comes bearing gifts - warm, caffeinated gifts.

Written as a gift for RubyDubious. Also a part of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Plain Jane speedwrite, where it was finished in an hour.


A thank you to Silent Whisper, themoontonite, Seer, wishcometrue, Shaslan, Knox Locke, Zontan, Flashgen, _Moonshot, Vis-a-Viscera, Snow Quill, and The Red Parade, as well as some others for proofreading and editing before publishing.

Twilight knew that when two ponies loved each other as much as she and Rarity did, moving in together would make everything better.
So why wasn't that happening now?

Luna has requested a private meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle under specific circumstances. In the dead of a dark, cloudy night, they venture into the tunnels beneath Canterlot's castle.


Expanded from my second-place entry into the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting group Panic! Fiction "Princess" Contest. The contest simply required that we use any canon Princess.

I know the [Adventure] tag may seem a little odd after first reading, but it was probably the closest I could get to how it all turned out.

This story is a sequel to Discursive Formations: Snow Patrol


As I sleep, I see flashes of before the slumber. I see when we stalked and learned. Eventually, I will awaken. I am a scout.


Written as a prequel to Snow Patrol by The Red Parade as part of Quills and Sofa Speedwriting group event "Expanded Universes." We submitted prompt stories that others could write a prequel or sequel to over a weekend.

It is recommended, if you have not, to read the original first. It's a great story in its own right.

Rarity knows it's anything but.

This story is a sequel to Futile Devices


Fluttershy had a plan to tell Rainbow Dash her true feelings, and this time she wouldn't back down. Everything would be perfect. It had to be. Rainbow deserved the best, after all.


Edited/proofread by: The Legendary Bill Cipher, Zontan, Lofty, Red Parade, Moonshot, Stynger Skies, themoontonite, Regidar, Wishcometrue, Drider, Schattendrache, The Hat Man, Seer, Flashgen, ZeroMonkey, Skye Jr, Nailah, and Dreamer Deceiver. Thank you so much for all your help!


Written for the Expanding Universes contest for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group. The prompt was for each of us to submit a story, and then someone else would write a prequel or a sequel. I was so excited to get themoontonite's brilliant Futile Devices as my prompt. You can find us on Discord here! We're pretty fun, in my opinion, and sometimes we even write things!

This story is a sequel to A Kirin In Cardboard


After having learned of the joys and amazing potential of Cardboard Boxes for herself, Autumn Blaze decides that she must share this discovery with her village.

It ends with a declaration of war.


Written for the Quills & Sofa's "Expanding Universes" Prequels and Sequels event. This story is my extension on the original story A Kirin in Cardboard by TheLegendaryBillCipher. While reading Bill's story is not necessary to understand this one, it will provide some measure of context and you should just read it regardless because it is quite good.

Thank you to, basically everyone on the Q&S server for feedback, proofreading, and editing.
