It was one of those nights where everything was making him sad.

He was a simple stallion, with a simple life in Equestria. That's all he really wanted out of his early retirement after he was laid off during the economic downturn. But, when unfinished business brings him back to Earth after nearly 20 years, he'll learn what happened to humanity while he was living the life of his dreams...

Written for the Friendship is Optimal Writing Contest. Also, it's a horror story, as promised, for my annual Nightmare Night in April Writeoff.

Special thanks to the Optimalverse Community Discord for help with getting and building the initial idea, and for proofreading the story. Please come by there if you want to talk about and read more stuff like this!

I tried a slightly different interpretation of CelestAI here, as having those emotions that people like to give her, but still being a cold and uncaring paperclipper AI on the inside. It's the one I've been using for my community-based rewrite of the original (based off our RP on the Discord), so I hope people like it. Be on the lookout for more FiO related stuff from me, as I've been getting ready to post a flood of updates qnd new stuff!

Jasper was not in the Crystal Empire when it vanished. His wife Agate was. Separated from his family across time, he writes letters in the hopes that she may eventually read them someday, however far away that may be.

Written for Bicyclette's Twilight Files contest.

A story written as a series of 100 word drabbles. When Tirek took Twilight's magic, he also took something else this is that event, and the aftermath. AU ending to the season 4 finale. Rated T for carefully worded character death.

Just in case anyone is confused (and because I could only add 5 character tags) Other characters involved are Shining Armor, Twilight's Parents, and Spike.

Words can be powerful. Sometimes, these words don’t need magic behind them. Spike hears three words he hoped to never hear from someone he cherished. For the spirit of chaos and disharmony, there is something that must done.

Discord is under deep depression for betraying Equestria and his friends after helping Tirek. The anger from other ponies and a trial for his actions was too much for him as well, so he makes a decision to drown himself. However, Twilight and her friends try to save Discord from his depression, proving forgiveness is not only appropriate for him, but how treasuring life is without throwing it away...

“Forever and ever, a wonderful thing,/Will someone be grateful for what we tried to bring?/It's late,/But just remember then,/This day will never come again.” -The Aquabats, ‘Hello, Good Night!’

Spike sends you, the viewer, a letter.

It takes place after Twilight forgives Trixie for what she did in the episode "Magic Duel", and Spike doesn't buy it. He runs off in hurt and Applejack and the others tell Twilight that Spike really missed Twilight and how he really sees Twilight as his family. Now Twilight has to fix this problem between her and Spike.

Anon is the only human in Equestria.

It can be hard to feel alone, despite having come to know a few ponies he can call his friends. Humans are so different from ponies, and it can be hard suddenly losing so much that you thought made you the person you are.

But, is this a final goodbye..?
