Time and water have a lot in common.

They erode stone, help plants grow, and follow their own course... usually.

When an unusual tide carries with it a far-flung summer fling, Sunny Starscout discovers an exception to the rule and a mysterious teenage colt who may change her life forever.

A Sunny Starscout x Sandbar shipfic written for the 2022 Crackship Contest.

Thanks to Saddlesoap Opera and Patchwork Poltergeist for their prereading, editing, and support, and a second thanks to Saddles for making the picture for this fic.

Deep in Bridlewood, far beyond where Izzy is allowed to wander, there is a Door.

It's a very wise Door, and a very polite Door, and she decides to stay with it for a bit.

Come one come all, to Trixie's magnum opus. Cannons will fire. Noise will blare. Monsters will be slain. And Twilight Sparkle, our beloved, will earn her name. Pray you don't blink, dear audience.

Warning: Beloved character does bad things to good people. With depth.

Consider it a classic post S3 Trixie sadfic/character study. Obviously inspired by Kraven's Last Hunt, but takes more than a few cues from Vylet Pony's Queen of Misifts and countless more explorations of our favorite magician.

With thanks to Casketbase77, for planting the idea and proofreading.

High above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky, a space station races towards the ground.

Written for the Science Fiction Contest. Told you I'd make it, Bicyclette! Thanks for reading Those!

Special thanks to Atomic Rockets for giving me all the info I needed for this story.

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.

The multiverse is a big place, champ! Identities blur, faces duplicate, sometimes the entire world seems like its spinning in the wrong direction! But through all of that, you gotta keep your head up and remember your name! Once you do that, you really start to stand out from the millions of other ponies who also have that name!

Coco. That is your name.

Daybreaker. That is her name.

It’s Thursday! Time for Equestria's most popular weekly talk show, Cozy's Glowpinions! The host isn't exactly sane, but she sure loves to be heard. Princess Twilight says that thanks to these broadcasted self-therapy sessions, Cozy is on the cusp of a real redemptive breakthrough.

She's been saying that for nearly 40 episodes.

We're live on-air in five...four...three...two...

(Teen rating for an infrequent gag of Cozy casually cussing on air.)

Now with a critical review!

Co-authored by my good friend Str8aura, whose solo works you should totally check out. Are you a fan of my Snippet Series but wish it had more than fifty additional stories in its anthology? Your wish has been granted.

The worst thing about Land Ponies is they’re always out of water. Always out of reach. Living close to the coastline is enough to drive a Sea Pony crazy with curiosity. But with grit, engineering, and the timely return of Magic to the world, she may make some friends yet.

(If the older comments referring to "Koi" are confusing, reference this blog post. Replacement cover art was provided by the very generous Ahobo.)

By hook or by crook, Scootaloo has managed to land a job as the personal pedagogue for Princess Flurry Heart. Years as a Cutie Mark counselor have helped her bury any baggage she may have originally brought to the role, but perhaps a filly like Flurry needs Scootaloo the pony, not Scootaloo the professional social worker.

A big, Crystal Empire-sized thanks to Nitro Indigo for pre-reading and helping me get the tone of the fic just right. Scoots's portrayal needed to walk a very fine line, and Flurry Heart is a fun but challenging character to craft a personality for.

Flurry Heart has requested a very unusual bedtime story. Shining Armor senses something is up, but he also knows that children occasionally come across feelings they don't have words for yet. Books can supply those words.

On a less cerebral note, hopefully there’s some entertainment to be had watching Shining Armor flounder through a novel that common sense dictates he shouldn't be reading to a foal before bed. That 'Thriller' tag is present in the banner for a reason.

Now with a written review!
