Special talents.
That thing that sets ponies apart from each other and gives them a path in life. The one thing that they excel at, broadcast to the world by their cutie mark.
The spectrum of special talents is as wide as the day is long and twice as varied as you think it is.
But, interesting talent or mundane, everypony needs a job to put food on the table and not every talent lends itself to one.

After all, not everyone can be blessed with specific high-demand talents like "growing plants" or "cleaning" or "flying". Even less often does a pony get a particularly nebulous concept or multi-faceted skill like "magic" or "partying" that can apply to any number of jobs.

Sometimes, no matter how good you are at what you do, it's just not something you can make a career out of.

But for those unlucky few, there's a group filled with other ponies who face the same problem that they do.

She thought she was fully happy, but while she certainly feels happier, there’s still a sliver of doubt that she might be might be pursuing the wrong route.

Thankfully, help comes to you sometimes.

Never in her wildest dreams would Sunny have thought she'd meet a unicorn, unify the three pony tribes, and overthrow a power-crazed despot, yet she'd done all three over the span of less than a week! With the excitement of her adventure behind her, and a bright future ahead, her outlook on life couldn't be better - sure, she may have lost her house, but that just meant she'd get to spend plenty of time with Izzy, her new friend...

I wish I could say I was a brave pony.

_{vent from last april. strangely relevant again}

Izzy Moonbow likes a Pegasus Princess. A lot. So much, you could even say...

Pipp Petals likes a pretty unicorn. A lot. So much, you could even say...

Important Note: In the story, Izzy does not yet know that the sisters cannot fly. That's what the Alt. Universe tag is for.

When a thousand years has passed, Luna was supposed to return.

But when Nightmare Moon returns dead, Celestia is flabbergasted and shocked.

Then she sees Luna, who claims to have killed Nightmare Moon.

She is very confused.

Helped by Chris the Cynic, who gave me a paragraph to work on.

Her father was dead, and Sunny was alone. All she can think of is his dream destined to die with him? She feels like her dream will die tonight, but maybe a doctor can give her hope.

Long Play has a concert to catch, but his blubbering baby sister just got home from school. Something got under her fur today. Something serious.

Side note, how did it take me so long to learn Vinyl canonically has an older brother? I really need to read more IDW comics.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

In less than an hour, Celestia will be executed for her crimes against humanity. Justice will finally be done for all those lost in the Conversion War.

But like all prisoners, she is entitled to have her last rites.

When Celestia and Luna took over the sun and moon, they came with manuals.

Now, as they browse the manuals, they find 'extra settings'.

Now, what do they do—
