Charley was not the least bit surprised when he came face to face with Death after months of fighting cancer. It was just the final thing in a long line of disappointment and regret for him.

Death, however, wasn't pleased with what he saw, and threatened Charley with losing his soul for the way his life turned out. Before it was lost though, Death decided to give Charley one final chance. A last task: to make one friend. Make one friend in one week, and he'd be able to pass through to the other side.

Making one friend in one week? That should be easy enough, right?

Spell Nexus (mentioned only) is from Past Sins, by Pen Stroke

It is a peculiar thing how the cold makes equals of all creatures - even though already hardened by the fires of their fury. How its twinkling tapestry makes all life that breaks through its bitter chill all the more beautiful. Perhaps this icy inroad will help turn Tempest back from her Equestria-eradicating mission before it is too late.

And if not, maybe it will show her another who can break through her hardened heart. If only for a while.

This fic was a tied first-place winner of the Quills and Sofas Poetry Slam Contest. Thanks to Shaslan, Red Parade, Master-Thief, _TGAPT_ and DTP for reviewing.

How about an entirely different life?

Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion is a fanfiction series that aims to breathe new life into a once-popular headcanon: that Twilight Velvet—Twilight Sparkle's mother—was directly involved with Daring Do and her adventures. Travel with Daring Do and Twilight Velvet across Equestria and beyond as they discover treasures of old, battle dangerous foes, and unearth the knowledge the world’s past has to offer. Drawing inspiration from real-world archeology, locales, and cultures; auxiliary MLP material like the IDW comics and G.M. Berrow chapter books; and standard action-adventure fare like Uncharted and Indiana Jones, Daring Did combines all of these elements into a witty, yet deep narrative that captures a spirit of exploration and exhilaration.

Twilight Sparkle is good at finding books even in unexpected places.
She's also a very helpful and proactive young filly.

You'd think these would be good traits, and yet still she manages to nearly ruin Hearth's Warming with an interstellar war.

Gemini has stolen something of great importance from Rarity, and he doesn't plan on giving it back. In fact, he doesn't even know what he stole!

A few days after the restoration of magic, Sunny Starscout accepts an invitation to spend the night at La Villa Izzy following a visit to the newly livened Bridlewood. But while Sunny came prepared to spend the night on the floor, Izzy won't have it. Her bed is big, and she's never shared it with anyone before, and if there's room enough for both, then why should Sunny have to sleep anywhere else?

Unfortunately for Sunny, Izzy's not the soundest sleeper. Fortunately for Izzy, Sunny's there.
