When ponies go missing after Nightmare Night, and a group of shady investigators show up and practically take over Ponyville, Rainbow Dash considers herself lucky. But then strange things begin to happen to her anyway. Why does she feel so sick all of a sudden? Who is this mare speaking to her in her mind? Why do bright lights hurt so much?

"Is there a good way to deliver bad news? If there is, I haven't found it."

Attending the Gala was the last thing Silver Zoom wanted to do, and attending it alone was somehow even less preferable than that. With the prospect of a night spent entreating ponies who only care for the fact that he's a Wonderbolt ahead of him, he expects nothing short of a miserable experience.

When he meets Windy Whistles at the Gala, though, her enthusiasm towards him appears to be just the change of pace he needs. But Silver cannot anticipate just how much he'll have to reckon with before the night's over.

Won first-place in Nailah's Shipping Contest with the re-roll pairing of Silver Zoom and Windy Whistles.

There are certain obligations to be fulfilled by the Canterlot Elite when duty calls. One must never back down from assisting others when to refuse aid would shame the entire aristocracy, one must never complain about assisting others, and one must never ask for aid when they can physically manage to avoid getting other court members involved. It's not a standard that many nobles are able to hold themselves to, but it's certainly expected, particularly for strapping young up-and-comers like Blueblood.

Still, Blueblood wasn't expecting to have to conduct a tea ceremony for a foreign delegate, particularly when he knows nothing about the delegate or the ceremony itself.

It's a seemingly impossible task, but when the alternative is publicly losing face, Blueblood might not have a choice at all...

Rarity first noticed something was wrong in Manehattan.

Then whatever it was followed her home.

Or was it already there?

Something dark and sinister is chasing Rarity, and she has to find out what it is, and what it intends. Because if this predator is who she thinks it is, she's not entirely sure she doesn't want to be caught.

Written for a Quills and Sofas AU contest. (This story tied for first with another story by garatheauthor, which hasn't been published at this time but she's still amazing and needs to be followed if you're not.)

Was this all there was? For her and Maud to die out here, at the foothills of the Crystal Mountains, never having had a chance to live their lives beyond that little rock farm?

There was supposed to be something more, wasn't there?

But what?

Author's Note

Based on various thoughts about how weird the Pie family is, my Dr. Maudileena Daisy Pie headcanon, and just how much more would be different in the various alternate Starlight-induced timelines beyond the little bits we saw.

Based off a prompt from Bean's Writing Group Discord server, "From the beginning, you know the end". Thanks to Short-tale, RDT, and Techno Flare for their feedback.

A couple of ponies find themselves on a Buckball pitch late at night. How they got there isn't important; the important thing is that they're there, and the air is cool, and the cicadas are singing, and the sky is a brand-new color.

Second place in a Quills and Sofas speedwriting contest. Originally written in 70 minutes, this version has been expanded quite a bit! Hope you all enjoy it

Have you ever kept a secret from somepony?

How about an entirely different life?

Twilight Velvet has definitely been less than honest with her family and friends, but now, so many years later, somepony stumbles upon the truth. Adventures long done, friendships that have withered to the barest of sparks—what will resurface as Twilight's true life is uncovered?

Rated Teen for blood, profanity, suggestive themes, and violence.

A subseries of the revised Modern Equestria Project.

Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer's Companion is a fanfiction series that aims to breathe new life into a once-popular headcanon: that Twilight Velvet—Twilight Sparkle's mother—was directly involved with Daring Do and her adventures. Travel with Daring Do and Twilight Velvet across Equestria and beyond as they discover treasures of old, battle dangerous foes, and unearth the knowledge the world’s past has to offer. Drawing inspiration from real-world archeology, locales, and cultures; auxiliary MLP material like the IDW comics and G.M. Berrow chapter books; and standard action-adventure fare like Uncharted and Indiana Jones, Daring Did combines all of these elements into a witty, yet deep narrative that captures a spirit of exploration and exhilaration.

Berry Punch has a horrible drinking problem, but all she sees is a cycle that she indulges in. She wants to get out of it now, but why move on from something that tastes so good? Why move on from something that becomes natural to do?

Chaos and death have the answers, and it sure isn't pretty.

Inspired by anonpencil's series of Berry Punch stories.
