In the middle of the fray, that’s all you can focus on. That thing, that event, whatever it is, drowns out everything else as it overshadows the rest of the world.

But when there is no fray, and the quiet returns, it’s only then that you can really pay attention to the details.

Sometimes, the most important things happen when nothing happens at all.

Twilight finds a book written by Celestia hidden in her castle, and plans to publish it. But as she tries to unravel its mysteries, she wonders who it was written for, and why.

“... and we are absolutely, definitely, no questions asked, not going anywhere near Sunset Shimmer,” Adagio declared, concluding her presentation of The Plan with a flick of her wrist and a bold flourish of the chalk she’d been scrawling on the blackboard with. “Are we clear?”

“... but she’s a bitch, so I thought it’d be funny to screw with her and do exactly not that,” Aria explained to Sunset.

Originally conceptualized for the Uncommon Dazzlings Ships group’s SunAria month.

Limestone Pie takes her youngest sister to the Peaks of Peril in search of something important. Marble Pie finds something else.

Collaboration with Short-tale. Based off the prompts "You Shouldn't Let Kirins Lie To You" and "From A Certain Point of View" from Bean's Writing Group Discord server. Thanks to Bean, RDT, Techno Flare, Thesmokingguy, Mykola, and Sledge115 for their feedback.

Fluttershy spends the day with her two girlfriends, but she feels a quiet discomfort. As an asexual mare, she can't join in on everything Rarity and Twilight do together. Is she really good enough for them, or is she just bringing their relationship down?

My first purely fluff story, without much comedy. Just warm feelings.

This story is a sequel to The Sunlight Project

After the disaster that was her Sunlight Project, Twilight Sparkle somehow manages to ask Sunset Shimmer out on a date. She isn't ready.

That isn't enough to stop her from trying. However, she needs all the help she can get to navigate the relationships in her life.

The two-part series pilot "Friendship is Magic", but with a Kingdom Hearts twist. Aspiring Keyblade master Twilight Sparkle fails her attempt at the Mark of Mastery exam. To help get her mind off her studies, Princess Celestia sends Twilight to the nearby town of Ponyville to oversee preparations for this year's Summer Sun Celebration. But the threat of a great 1,000-year-old evil looms.

(Gasp! A Kingdom Hearts crossover! It's so original! ...Yeah, I know it's been done countless times already, but I just couldn't say no. I love Kingdom Hearts; I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the only thing I love more than MLP. 'Blasphemy! Burn the heretic!' I can already hear some of you thinking. Again, I thought the opportunity was too good to pass up. And so here we are.

Fair warning: if you haven't played any of the Kingdom Hearts titles, much of this story will likely go over your head; only the bare minimum of accessibility will be given to series newcomers. Secondly, as this is a Kingdom Hearts take on the "Friendship is Magic" two-parter, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and other KH characters will NOT be appearing. I feel I should make that clear so I don't end up disappointing those of you hoping to see your favorite KH characters as ponies.

Also, if this turns out to be popular, I may do Kingdom Hearts versions of other MLP episodes and even some completely original stories.)

It wasn't like Pinkie didn't make a list of all the things she needed to do. She did! It was just the whole doing part of her to-do's that she struggled with.

Love is many things. It is always unique, always sits different in the chest of the lover who bears it. It may burn or it may cool, it may excite the blood or soothe the nerve, but it is always love. Come, then. Won't you take some time to let it grow?

Written as an entry to the Quills And Sofas Pride contest, where it and Thank You placed second. Edited with the help of the esteemed, talented, hard-working, quick-witted, and ever delightful Red Parade.
