Fluttershy is the classic example of a pony who has fallen from grace. She is suffering from pneumonia, lives in squalor and poverty, and all of those who have once loved her are gone. In the end, she sees only one way out.

If you’re reading this it’s because I ain’t around to keep it hidden. I’m sorry you found this, I’m sorry for a whole heap of things. I’m sorry I didn’t get my cutie mark a year ago with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. I’m sorry I still ain’t gotten it. I’m sorry I’ve been underhoof. I’m sorry I’ve been so contrary. Mostly I’m just sorry for being me. I tried to be good and fit in with everypony else, I even tried to be patient but I guess y’all didn’t see much of that.
I can’t do it anymore. Whatever patience I did have has been used up and I’m just so damn fed up with being a worthless blank flank. Don’t y’all be crying over me I ain’t worth it, never was.

Nopony should bottle up their feelings. Sometimes, all a pony needs to do is talk with their friends. Sometimes, all a pony needs to do is pretend someone's listening.
So, Diamond Tiara hides in her room, writing away her troubles with letters.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

-Leonardo da Vinci

Not many believed she could ever get off the ground. They couldn't have been more wrong. Follow through Scootaloo's life as it takes off from her first flight. An experience she'll never be able to forget.

It was a nice, peaceful day for Twilight Sparkle. No three headed dogs running amuck. No Rivals out to prove their superiority. Nothing to stress or worry about. Just her and a nice book.
Then a random pony walks in off the street, breaks a couple of her vases, steals a few of her books, and has the gall to ask "Do you know where the boss monster is?"
Then top it off with the fact that the pony just DISSAPEARED right in front of her.
Why couldn't she just have a nice day off?

Holy crap, featured on 4/24/15 !

P.S. am I the only one that finds it odd that Cadence is lumped in with the "side characters" and not the "Princesses" in the character tabs?

P.P.S. I have now had two people asking me what this is a crossover with. I guess I can't fault people for not knowing beforehand.
This story is a crossover with the book Ready Player One, by the author Ernest Cline.

While ironically watching the sun going down, Sunset Shimmer looks upon the remnants of her life, questioning herself. Why does she need to exist? Why does she continue living? Everything in her life has gone wrong and she's just a burden to others; it would just be easier on everyone if she was dead.

Set directly after the first Equestria Girls, hours after Twilight's return home.

My first purely sad fic.

Judging the friends and loved ones she had to fight. Will they submit to her, help her crate the new world for all beings? Or will they take the hangman’s noose?

Many thanks to Rated Ponystar for letting me adopt the idea of ​​this fic and helping me to improve each chapter of it, and to mikemeiers for being a wonderful proofreader and correcting the grammar of the story.

Scootaloo has never been able to fly. Everypony is laughing at her, so she decided to give it a go. You've got to run before you can walk. How will she ever learn from her mistake? Will she ever forgive herself?

In the warmth of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash is about to turn in for the night when she hears Scootaloo crying outside in the middle of a vicious blizzard. Plucking the freezing filly from the snow, Rainbow hopes to provide some much-needed comfort for the otherwise tough young pegasus, but she uncovers a disturbing reality that she knows she cannot handle alone.

Knowing only one pony that could really help her out, Rainbow enlists Twilight’s help, determined to set things straight for Scootaloo. But what Rainbow doesn’t know is that in her efforts to provide a better life for the filly, her friendship with Twilight will develop into something more.
