It was supposed to be a simple spell. How did I make it? Just to test a theory. Just to see what was out there, beyond reality. It shouldn't be possible It wasn't able to affect anything. Why did I do this?

My submission to the Thousand Words Contest, Experimental category.

A contest? I was created for a contest?

What effect? Why are you doing this to me?

"Because I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and there’s not a single creature with wings I can think of who is exclusively attracted to the opposite sex.”

Now with a reading!

And another!

Ah, Hearts and Hooves Day. A time where couples spend the day together, whiling away their worries and cares and basking in each other's presences. Cadance, however, feeds on this day, feeling the love throughout Equestria. And thus, her power grows... a lot.

Love is shared, Thorax and the changelings are freed, Chrysalis is defeated, and alls well that ends well. But Twilight isn't Celestia. An escaping villain should be chased down. In pursuit of chrysalis however, Twilight is surprised to uncover the truth of who the queen really is, and learns a little of the truth of politics in the process.

A personal twist on the season 6 finale, inspired by watching said finale, listening to my brother complain about it, and pondering how I would have structured the story differently. Less a "Fix" and more a "what would I do if I ran the zoo?"

After once more being denied the chance to celebrate Wishday, Misty is given an assignment on the holiday's eve to take an artifact containing a well of immense power, one that might grant Opaline all the power she needs to regain her former power. However, while interacting with the relic, she's visited by the spirit of a pony who gave her very soul to protect it, leading Misty to rethink her harrowing life.
