Cloud Kicker has fought her mother's killer to the death and ensured her family's honor was intact, but her cousin Star Kicker's role in the fiasco was far less noble: Her family-oriented idealism has left Equestria facing an unidentified threat with few avenues for answers. Now, she’ll have to team up with a few unlikely characters and be guided by a ruler trapped under a mountain of suspicion to find exactly who, or what, is threatening to invade her homeland.

This is my contribution to Chengar Qordath's Winningverse.

Huge thanks to Chengar for helping me wrangle this into something relatively cohesive (and for reining in my crazy nonsense), and many more thanks to both he and Comma-Kazie for creating such an in-depth and vibrant continuity.

Endless thanks as well to my editors and prereaders, without whom nothing in this story would be what it is:

This story is a sequel to The Life and Times of a Winning Pony

In the time since she became Derpy's daughter, Sparkler Doo has come to trust and love her mother more than words can express. Three years of tender, loving care and patience brought Sparkler out of her shell, showing a scared little filly that she was loved—and safe.

All it took was one fateful lapse in judgement to bring that crashing down. Now, with her faith in her mother shaken to its core, Sparkler has to take a step back and try to pick up the pieces.

Assuming she wants to.

This story takes place in tandem with the events of Chapter 19 of The Life and Times of a Winning Pony

In the ancient city of Sodom, Lyra and Bon Bon sneak onto Noah's Ark by pretending to be husband and wife. Thanks to a fake horn on Bon Bon, the human prophet Noah thinks the two marefriends are the missing unicorn couple he needed for the ark.

Can Lyra and Bon Bon keep their true identities hidden from Noah? It won't be easy when their every move is being scrutinized by the cripplingly homophobic earth pony couple. Will Evangelical Hope and her husband Adamic Faith expose Lyra and Bon Bon for who they are, or will this forty day cruise be smooth sailing?

Several months after moving to Ponyville, Vinyl and Octavia are planning their upcoming wedding. With help from friends like Lyra and Bon-Bon, what could possibly go wrong?

Hello, my name is Octavia, and in only one short year I managed to climb my way up to the top of the world of classical music. Where I was world renowned for my masterful showings of the most beautiful songs created by composers over the eons, but now I play my beloved cello for mere spare change, taking shelter at night in the empty doorways of the back allies of the city that never sleeps....

When Octavia and Vinyl Scratch decide to combine their respective musical styles into a new genre that will celebrate not only their talent, but also their unique bond, they feel confident that they're the pioneers of the new age. So when the two find their music challenged by another pair of musicians, they set out to make sure that theirs is the best. However, the rival two aren't bad artists themselves, not to mention they’re certainly not… of the same persuasion as Vinyl and Tavi. In the snow-wrapped streets of Manehattan, can they risk exposing their new found -and still taboo- relationship, or will they be doomed to second place?

“What makes life truly worth living?”

For one mare, this answer is unknown. She was once at the top of the world of classical music, but now she’s a librarian at the Manehattan College of the Musical Arts. Some argue that this was for the better, while others state differently. For she both lost her career, and finally found a special somepony. But all of this is about to change...

To prove she's ready for more responsibility on the farm Apple Bloom decides to raise her own tree, with no help from the rest of her family.

Lyra goes through her usual Saturday routine at the Ponyville Mental Hospital.
