Since banishing her sister to the moon, Princess Celestia has fallen into a state of depression that she seems incapable of escaping from. Plagued by guilt and reoccurring nightmares over the role she believes she plays in her sister's downfall.

To try and alleviate these concerns, Princess Celestia decides that she needs to take on a student, somepony to wield the Elements of Harmony and ensure her sister's freedom from the forces of evil. There's just one problem, not many ponies are able to mentored directly by a princess.

But one night, Celestia has a chance encounter with a little filly that will change her life forever. A filly with a destiny that nopony can see, and the potential for something greater than what she currently is. Even if what that is is unknown.

Hearth's Warming is usually a happy time of year, especially for school aged foals. But for Diamond Tiara, the holiday is just a reminder of her home life, stuck between an always working father and a mother that constantly berates and heckles her.

While attending a Hearth's Warming party hosted by Princess Twilight, Diamond finds herself growing jealous of the family her new friend, Apple Bloom has. And when Apple Bloom reaches out to a friend in need, it doesn't take long for the subject to turn to family.

But both fillies will be quite surprised by what they learn about the other, and little will they realize just how fortunate they are to have each other.

Since befriending the Cutie Mark Crusaders and gaining the courage to tell her mother off, Diamond Tiara has enjoyed a relatively peaceful home life. That peaceful life is shattered suddenly and unexpectedly however, when Filthy Rich dies!

Such a loss would be painful enough as it is, but on top of that Spoiled Rich turns around and leaves her daughter at the Ponyville Orphanage, leaving poor Diamond without a family.

Fortunately, the filly is soon adopted by Dizzy Twister, Scootaloo's mother. But is Dizzy up to the task of raising a heartbroken filly, how will Diamond Tiara cope with her new home life and loss of somepony so dear to her, and how will Scootaloo react to the notion of having a sister in the form of a pony she once considered an enemy?

For years Trixie has been living with a secret that has drove her to challenge Twilight Sparkle for the title of Equestria's greatest magician. Till now, no pony knew what that drive was, and once it is learned, can things ever be the same for them again? Or will this revelation bring about a change? Whether if it is for better or worse is for fate to decide.

My second entry for the Everfree Northwest 2014 Writing Contest

Featured on 2/27/14

In time, all of Twilight Sparkle's friends have had to say their last goodbyes. And as the last of the original Cutie Mark Crusaders passes on, the Princess decides to send her off in grand fashion.

But after the party, the tears, and her newer friends have moved on, and Twilight is all alone once again, somecreature she once thought of as a friend decides to visit her for tea.

Memorial, or Desecration? Twilight might just have to decide tonight, on the loneliest night of her life...

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."
