Some months have passed since the destruction of the Memory Stone. Wallflower Blush has entered a new school year, her last at CHS, and so far, things have been looking up. Talking to people is getting easier, and she even has a few friends to her name.

But dealing with social repercussions is still a thing that Wallflower has struggled with all her life. Making a few connections is all well and good, but what about deeper connections? What about one-on-one bonding? What about dating? With the shield of the Memory Stone gone, how can Wallflower find a safe way to experience consequences?

Luckily, her first date with Moondancer is certain to give her some much-needed education on the subject. Even if it takes a few more first dates than normal.

An entry for both May Pairings 2024 (other entries here) and Science Fiction Contest III (other entries here). Pre-read by Dewdrops on the Grass and The Sleepless Beholder. Sex tag applied for crude references only.

This story is a sequel to Tranquility

The most enigmatic of monsters will not carry the ugly faces of any beast, but your neighbor’s kindness in excess. A young draconequus named Discord has yet to learn this, and mortals may never do so. He learns this when he extends the generosity only a god can offer to an ailing mortal mare.

Amidst all this turmoil, the first lamia comes into being — and with them, all the chaos their creation was inevitably going to bring.

Written for Mother's Day. Cover art edit provided by Sunlight Taiga. To find the NSFW version, return to the prequel and select it in the sequel section. Site rules permit versions of the same story with different ratings to exist. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

The past can be a tricky thing. There may be pieces of it that you wish you could erase, or others you desperately want to relive just one more time. In the end, all you can do is move forward.

Because while the past is written in stone, immovable and irreplaceable, the future is being shaped like puddy. And before it dries, you'll have time to leave your mark.

This story is a sequel to Stay Golden

There are two things the Canterlot elite care about: blood and coin. At least, that is what a little filly has heard all her life. Young Marigold desires both... and with a strange amulet maybe she can have such things.

The dark shape beckons her, as does her own bloodlust. Her greed demands to be fed, and darker magics are willing to help her gain her fill of riches and ruin alike in the dour city of Manehattan.

If only the price was not a city.

A version of this story was scrapped and presented in a chapter of 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. The cover was commissioned from PurpleGrim40. Contribute to the TVTropes page! This is the SFW version of "Stay Golden" which I consider it the better, uncensored story. Posting permission granted by Majin Syeekoh. Edited by MissyTheAngle, Hellblazer, and Muggonny.

This story is a sequel to The Symphony of Dawn

Princess Platinum is in mourning after the death of Clover, her faithful companion. Yet, she is unwilling to know just how deep their bond really was. Instead, the noble-born unicorn mare is willing to take it to her grave... and with it, all the less-than-noble things she did to defend that secret.

A stand-alone sequel. Edited by TCC56. Inspired by the original Imposing Sovereigns contest. Had this been official, 'Madwoman Platinum' would have been my prompt. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

This story is a sequel to Autophobia

Nothing hurts quite like honesty. How bad could one lie be? How bad could it be to keep lying? How bad is it when you can't stop? How bad is it when you don't want to? What about when you don't know how to?

When you're Princess Celestia, lies can be as everyday as the rising sun.

An experimental foray into minimalism and extended epilogue to the previous story. The red tags are for notable mentions of the subjects, not outright depictions. The edit of the cover art was done by me. Contribute to the TVTropes page!
