Twilight felt like the luckiest pony in Equestria, she had a loving family, and friends that cared for her.
But most good things come to an end...

...but some things don't....

...because true friendship burns brighter than even the sun...

...because true friendship really is magic...

A collection of small, self-contained, often single-chapter mini-stories set in the Rites of Ascension universe. See little glimpses into the lives and times of the characters in this compendium of random scenes. Some I wrote for fun, others may be scenes deleted from the main story for editing purposes.

With the exception of chapter three, you do need to have read Rites of Ascension to understand what's going on here. If you skip that part, you'll be severely lost.

Updates will be sporadic. Technically, these are non-canon, as they're not as heavily considered or edited as the canon stories. Most, if not all, of these are going to be Slice of Life, but exceptions may appear from time to time. Cover art by Violet Squiggles, my beloved wife.

When Twilight discovers that Diamond Tiara's tiara is an evil magical artifact that turns the wearer evil, she promptly has it destroyed, curing Diamond Tiara of her cruel ways. Now, confused, afraid, and guilt ridden, Diamond Tiara find herself desperate for both redemption and true friends. Luckily, Twilight has three potential friends for her in mind. But can the Cutie Mark Crusaders bring themselves to befriend the pony who has tormented them for so long?
This is meant to play out like an actual episode of the show, theme song and all.
Also, featured here is a special parody song of "I'm a Dentist" from the movie "Little Shop of Horrors". Enjoy!

In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.

Tragedy strikes.
A nation affected.
Old, the young, rich or poor, all alike to the touch of sorrow and fear.
All are affected.
All have stories to tell...
