A little story I used to put my headcanon about how time works between the main series and the Equestria Girls sub-series. It's a discussion of why Sunset is so young despite being older than Princess Twilight, as well as why timeliness don't always match up between the two.

Something went wrong with this year's cider.

Audio reading!

Twilight had a tiring day, and meeting a human calling himself the Ice King wasn't going to make it any better. Especially if he was obsessed with princesses. Wait... Wasn't she a princess?

Applejack's daily routine is interrupted by a visit from Rainbow Dash, who has a surprise waiting for her in the barn.

However, it would seem that Dash isn't the only unexpected visitor that day...

An entry for the Spring Fling Contest.

Equestria's history is full of wonders, both magical and mechanical. But only twice has it succeeded in implementing AI.

The latest iteration is an apple farmer whose resurrection is celebrated by everypony except herself. Because really, once every part has been replaced, what is left that can measure a mare?

An entry for the 2023 Sci-Fi Contest, where it nabbed a respectable fourth place. Yay, existential robot ponies!

The last words of the great heroes, villains, and incidental players in the final days of Equestria.

Part of the Borderworld.

Celestia has always wondered why Twilight never replied to most of her letters. Fortunately Luna breaks the news 'gently'.

A rather silly idea that popped into my head this afternoon. I make no apologies.

Edit: As a few people pointed out, the title was really giving the story away; I've changed it on their (sound!) advice.

A mistake with an ancient book of dark magic results in Twilight being 'living-impaired'. What follows is a series of (mis)adventures involving tax evasion and constant decapitation.

The chapters are short. I know. I like small bite-sized scenes, and it burns me out less.

Though this story is a comedy, please take note of the Gore and Dark tags. If that kind of stuff and dark comedy is unpleasant for you, I'd recommend reading something else.

While hanging out at Twilight's castle the subject of height comes up, Spike says that he always thought the Mane Six were the exact same height, aside from Twilight. However, they all find this absolutely ridiculous. There's obviously a difference! (This is not a sequel, but it does contain reference to my story "That's not my name")

Twilight is hanging out with Rarity and Pinkie Pie. During their conversation she accidentally calls Rarity, Pinkie Pie. Apparently it's a much bigger deal than Twilight thinks it should be.
