Long Play has a concert to catch, but his blubbering baby sister just got home from school. Something got under her fur today. Something serious.

Side note, how did it take me so long to learn Vinyl canonically has an older brother? I really need to read more IDW comics.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Twilight Sparkle is pregnant - and nopony is more surprised than she is. Confronted with the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood, the young mare has to decide whether she is truly up to the task of being a single parent. For a pony who has proven her dedication, intelligence, and strength of character countless times, armed with the bonds of friendship and love, it shouldn't be a difficult choice.

But, as with everything Twilight has done in her life, the circumstances and decisions she must manage are anything but simple.

Hazy and Star Sparkle, daughters of Princess Twilight Sparkle, wake up to find themselves in the ruins of the palace of the royal pony sisters. Scared and confused, they explore the ruins in search of answers to what happened or where they are. Only to come to the realisation, the question isn't where, but when.

Realising that they're in the past, before their own births and without the ability to call upon their mother to save them. These two will have to face every threat and danger their mother told them about in hushed tones at night. However their actions will change the course of the future and force the pair to forge their own destinies.

Armed with their mother's stories and new friends, will the two sister's find that friendship is truly magic?

After one total rewrite, Daughters of Dusk finally sees the light of day! This is an Alt Universe/Alt History fic, inspired by me and a friend questioning "what if the Alicorn versions of our OCs wound up in the show during season 1?"

So, in an attempt to answer this question I've started to write this! Tackling the story one season at a time, with an entirely different cast of element of harmony bearers.

Expect some surprises for who will be the element bearers, a lot of changes from canon, and hopefully a good story along the way!

Twilight has something special to show you. A place where time feels frozen, and the echo of endless memories reside.

The fragmented Equestrian nation has begun a hesitant trot towards reconstruction and reformation, but a long road of recovery and re-acclimation is in store for the once-segregated communities of Maretime Bay, Bridlewood, and Zephyr Heights. Friendships formed and harmony restored, but with many of Sunny's one hundred and forty-two questions still left unanswered, particularly those about why Equestria devolved to such a state, it's tough to figure out where to begin.

Maybe it'd be best for her to start with some of those newer and more personal questions...ones she'd hastily written down during their crew's quest to save ponykind from its long period of separation. The unicorn capable of answering them is close at hoof...she need only ask her.

The love of a pet can be strong enough to shake worlds. Years ago, a companion was lost, and unleashed rage left a trail of revenge across dimensions -- but none of it was ever enough to gain the greatest prize, and so every accomplishment was ultimately hollow. Love did not return.

But now, after so much time, he's found where that love resides. It's just that it happens to be in the home of another. And with only a few more steps to take before reunion, the moment when he finally knows love again...

Don't worry. He's prepared to be fully reasonable about it.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Violence tag is for horrible things happening to demons. Which they deserve. They know what they did.

Octavia has declared her friendship with Vinyl over.

Now, Vinyl must decide what is right and face her true feelings towards the cellist.

Can she and Octavia ever be friends again, or will they become something more?

Discover Vinyl's side to the "I Am Octavia" story.

Based on the popular I Am Octavia animation and song by TehJadeh and EileMontyVA

Tonight on Bottom Gear, Twilight eats a pineapple, Applejack goes berserk, and Rainbow Dash falls in love with a box of tissues. I think. There's some other stuff that happens too, but everyone's too brain-dead to summarize it all.

This is the worst possible way to celebrate a Fimfiction milestone, mark my words.

Disclaimer: there was, for a while, roughly 20 or so peeps working on this at the same time. This absolute carnage was somehow cleaned up into fitting precisely 5,000 words according to Fimfiction's word counter, and I still have no idea how we managed to do that. Do not expect quality, or even relevant memes. Oof.

After Cozy Glow is caught and the world is saved, a single mare has the nerve to blame the hero of the hour for the near destruction of Equestria.

After an accident robs them of their parents, Rarity writes Sweetie Belle a letter laying bare a secret kept all the little unicorn's life.

"It's fascinating the level of depth this story takes. Just the part alone about why Rarity represents generosity is enough to bring tears to even the toughest critics. This is an amazing story in every way. Mature in some of its themes and true to life, yet not graphic or exploitive, 'Dear Sweetie Belle' is a must for My Little Pony fans who need a great, sad story to tide them over."
