Twilight Sparkle is stressed, for some very good reasons: it's only been a few weeks since she was moved to Canterlot Castle to assume control of the duties of a princess, and she's still getting used to the constant stream of paperwork; she's trying to figure out when and how she'll be able to see her Ponyville friends again; and, to top it off, her first day off from princess duty is the night of her first date. So, seeing her obvious stress, Twilight's one and only BBBFF Shining Armor decided to tell her how his life started down the road leading to his crowning Prince of the Crystal Empire...

Shining Armor has been missing for two days now after the final battle of the recent changeling war. Cadence and Twilight must now come to terms with the inevitability that Shining Armor might not be coming back at all. But it's hard not to hold onto the slightest bit of hope, no matter how small or insignificant. Sometimes when we lose the one we love we find that it's just too much to let go, even when hoping only makes it worse.

Spike writes a letter to anyone in particular, in hopes of it reaching his dear friends someday, in it he talks about his memories, promises and motives that lead him to become what today is for his friends and what he wishes to accomplish.

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

*Set years after the end of Season 4*

Set right after the events of my other fic, The Chronicles of Swarm (specifically, this chapter ), but reading that isn't entirely necessary.

So hey there. Name's Discord, but you already knew that, didntcha? OI! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOIN'? Didn't you want to hear a story? Yeah, that's right, park your rears right there.

Okay, so once upon a time there was an awesome draconequus who went around being blindingly awesome. One day, a pretty prissy pony princess showed up and was all "Ooh Discord, you're so manly and awesome and I'm so prissy and weak. Could you maybe save the world from an evil demigod bent on domination?" So I...I mean, he was all "whatever, babe" and he went off and beat down all the bad guys. And she was all "Ooh Discord, you're so awesome and manly and if you would just touch me I could die a happy mare." And I was all "Babe, I'll do more than that." And we...I mean, they started kissing, but the stupid lousy no-good evil demigod was all "Woah, Discord you're way too awesome for me man, I'm totally gonna kill your gf." And I was all "NNOOOOOOOO!" And she was all "NNNNOOOOOOOOO!" And he was all "DIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!" And then I threw myself in front of her...

To protect her...

The spirit of chaos protecting the goddess of harmony with his life...

Ugh, y'know what? Why don't I start from the beginning?

Prism Bolt, the son of Rainbow Dash and Soarin, is destined for greatness. Everypony knows he will be an expert flier, just like his parents. This is not speculation, this is fact. There is just one tiny little problem.

He's afraid of heights.

When Rainbow Dash attempts to encourage her son, she will find that not everything in the world comes as easily to her as flying did.

We need a few more authors to really kick this off, so please join in on the collab here!

A now grown dragon decides that for once in his life, that it is time to tell the mare of his dreams how he really feels about her. Love may have no bounds, but it is painful. At least though, this kind of love won't be painful, instead, memorable.

Barb feels insecure about her appearance. All she thought of herself as was an ugly, insignificant dragon in a sea of ponies that easily were more worthy of attention than her. She begins to slip into depression, distancing herself from those who care about her...

Until Elusive offers to spruce her up, showing her that even though she's a dragon, she can still be beautiful inside and out.

Gonna bring this story in for the Sparity Contest baby.

Thanks to Mr101 and Flint Spark for looking over the story.

Rarity never thought she'd fall for a dragon, much less be blissfully happy dating one, but ever since Spike grew into a sweet and handsome young drake, she's been completely and helplessly besotted. Recently, though, he's seemed distant, uncomfortable around her--or worse, unhappy with her. With the prospect of losing the love of her life hanging over Rarity's head, will she resort to drastic measures to become what he desires? And how will her darling dragon react if she does?

Written for the Sparity one-shot contest.
