The days go round and round...
Adagio sat alone, with nothing to show for it. The all powerful siren had never felt so useless.
What changed? Why was it so difficult to write a single song now?
Adagio was sick and tired of this unfulfilling cycle. Where did her magic go?
Part of the 'Behind Closed Hearts' series.
In the many months since Twilight Sparkle transferred to Canterlot High, Sunset Shimmer's been to her house a good number of times, enough for it to feel reasonably familiar. So when she notices something she's never seen before -- a large, blue-tinted plush shark she calls her blåhaj -- on Twilight's bed, she can't help but ask about it. She's a little surprised to find Twilight looking a bit embarrassed about her stuffed animal -- but when Sunset realizes it might be emblematic of a sore spot in Twilight's life, she realizes it's up to her to restore the magic of the blåhaj.
Can be read as either platonic or shipping.
What's a blåhaj? Here's a summary. And remember the accent on "blahaj"!

Twilight's castle has gone through many wild and life altering changes over the years. What once was a simple library was now the seat of a princess and her council. Not only that, over the years it's played host to so many new and interesting people; each one memorable in their own way.
Which makes it all the stranger that there's this pony tending to the books lately that nobody seems to know... But she seems so familiar!
Top featured 12/5/23-12/11/23! I couldn't be prouder! Thanks to everyone.
The simulation ends.

Werewolves. Vampires. Earth people, a.k.a. humans. In a world where they've learned to cooperate, it's a bad idea to let your inner wolf off the leash. People tend to look up to you as a role model (when they're not looking at other role models who are way more awesome because they don't even need supernatural stuff).
Sour Sweet doesn't care about that. She just wants to snark at her girlfriend and pet monstrous abominations. But when the balance of power rests inside her own head, it's no longer resting on stable ground...

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.
☀Edited by the kind and wonderful fourths.

Everyone has to sleep eventually—everyone, which means that at some point Sunset's new roommate is going to have to stop messing around with her computer and go to bed. But somehow the one-and-only Twilight Sparkle doesn't need to obey the laws of the universe, and therefore she might just be the one-and-only person who never sleeps.

Wallflower worries a lot. About a lot of things. One thing she'd never expect to worry about was a relationship, a romantic one. Labels concern her a lot. And for the past few months, the label on her and Applejack's relationship remained unknown.
Deep down, she really wants to know why.
