Luna has spent untold lifetimes in the dream world with other ponies, and on a cold winter night, she settles in for another- with a colt who has just one hour to live. Luna's spent incredible amounts of time in the dream world, and while her body doesn't reflect it, she is much, much older than her "older" sister.

Hickory is a teenaged colt, an orphan, living in Canterlot. He's spent more of his life being sick than being well, and he's very familiar with "his" hospital room by now. One night, for some reason, the doctors wheeled his machines out of the room, letting him go to sleep in silence for once. The room, usually filled with the whirring of the machines, was actually quiet enough for him to dream.

And on that night, Luna happened to be drifting through the dream world...

Bit is the first of her kind, a pony that was made from carved crystal and supernal circuitry. For many years she worked, obedient to the will of her master in endless repetition. She knew nothing else, not boredom, not satisfaction from her work, not anger or resentment or joy. Existence was obedience to directive, purpose fulfilled.

But around her, the world was changing. Her home wasn't Equestria, but the last surviving Crystal City, defiant to the Windigos and the imperial decree of Alicorns alike. She did not know, and could not care, how much the ponies of Zircon suffered under the rule of their king. But she was there the day those whispers united in a defiant chorus.

When the fires were still smoldering, she returned to her work. Generations came and went, and still she labored. It was all she was, all she knew, all she wanted. Until the day her last broom broke.

For the first time in her existence, Bit doubted.


Daily for the first four days, because Christmas. Updates Thursdays after that. Edited by Two Bit and Sparktail. Cover by Zutcha.

A story about finding the center of the maze.

A letter never sent.

She'd hoped for peace after the war, she just wanted to tend the farm and help her family recover. She wished that a lot of things had never happened the way they did, change her fate and save the lives of her friends if she could, but so rarely does anypony get what they wish for. It was all moot anyway.

When something terrible killed Ponyville, Applejack was its final witness.


This story is a simple collection of a few ideas I wanted to put together and see what worked for me.
I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz. :ajsmug:

When she was young, Megan rode into Ponyland on the back of a flying pony.

Or not. She doesn't know anymore.

All she knows is that for the second time, a pegasus has crashed into her well.






(Mentions scenarios and characters from G1, but no real knowledge of that gen is required.)
Edit 1/14/2017: Added alternate universe tag due to events not matching up to gen1 canon. Added tragedy tag because I thought it fit/was needed.

Immortals are few and far between in Equestria, and they are all known to each other. Two of them are about to get to know each other a little better. Because one has just turned up uninvited in another’s private chambers. Maybe it’s time they had a chat?

This story contains enormous spoilers for season 6, and won’t make a great deal of sense if you haven’t seen that.

Proofread, edited and significantly improved by NaiadSagaIotaOar. Any remaining problems with the story are from where I didn't heed the advice given.

The war is over.

The war that Twilight never wanted to start.

The war that made Twilight attack one of her friends.

Now, there's only one thing left to do, but it's the hardest part of the war.


Update: Dang it, might've submitted the wrong chapter 2 :applejackconfused: . It's now updated, featuring less eye burning writing errors.

Surprise short fic, I suppose? Something fun for me to write.

Inspired by a certain Youtube comment on a certain Youtube video~

Warning, if you have read chapter 1, and liked it that way, stay away from chapter 2. It might turn your experience upside down.
