No knowledge of the IDW Reflection comics is necessary to read this; it's just the framing device for a pair of parallel ponies feeling responsible for the actions of their counterparts.

Going on six years after the Reflections Incident that nearly tore apart both canon and inverted Equestria, the latter timeline is finally safe under Sombra's benevolent watch. No urgent correspondence has gone through the Mirror Portal since things re-stabilized, but it wouldn’t be much of a story if things remained that way.

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

Dinky Doo, Snails, Twist, and Pipsqueak are out getting candy on Nightmare Night when they realize that there's too many of them. Some thing is among them, disguising itself as one of them...but for what purpose...?

This is a Lunaverse story, but no real knowledge of the Lunaverse is needed for it other than the fact that nopony's met changelings yet. New readers welcome!

Smolder, now an old and ancient dragoness, looks back on a certain conversation she had with her five best friends 1,000 years ago on the subjects of life span and mortality.

Three phoenixes' Burning Days occur simultaneously, against all possible odds. Deciding to take advantage of this once-in-an-eternity possibility, Philomena, Fawkes, and Ho-Oh meet in the Unbecoming realm to share experiences of their worlds: their masters, acquaintances, apocalypse aversions, and practical jokes.

Pinkie Pie loves her friends.

She's very good at showing this, too.

Even if it seems like there's nothing anypony can do—least of all her—she'll be there for you.

In memory of CoffeeBean.

This story is a sequel to Anamnesis

It's funny how, in a split second, a time of fun and excitement can become one of horror and loss. A lesson learned, perhaps harshly, by Apple Bloom.

Now crippled and in a world of emotional hurt, will she be able to accept herself for who she is?

Mount Everest: the hardest climb on planet Earth. It's a veritable peak that has pushed the most experienced mountain-climbers to their limit, and even taken their lives.

Rainbow Dash is sure she could conquer it, but Mount Fuji will have to do.

This story is a sequel to Ask Not the Sparrow

This story is set in the same AU as Ask Not The Sparrow - if you haven't read that, it's fine, but be aware that most characters have been swapped with their closest counterparts.

Ponyville Days is the biggest event of the season, or at least it will be once Rarity gets her hooves on it. She's invited a special guest to town, one who has a certain amount of history with one of her friends. Will things go as planned, or will it all end in disaster?

Since it's been at least a week since the last disaster, most ponies are already placing bets on which half of town gets destroyed.

A big thanks to all my readers. This one took a surprising amount of time to write, even though I had the whole idea in my head start to finish almost from the get-go. Some scenes just didn't want to come together, and it took a while to polish them. I hope you enjoy, and I've already got another story planned out for this continuity.

Blindness, contrary to what Rainbow had always imagined, was not like being in a dark room.

Warning: Philosophically dark.

A lot has happened since Celestia and Luna disappeared nine hundred years ago. There are no wars, no diseases, no pain, no death. Princess Twilight, Discord, and Spike do everything to ensure that the utopia continues.

But even the most ideal paradises have ponies that wish it wasn't so.

Story inspired by Mister Saugrenu’s artwork 1000 Years in the Future.
