My Little Pony's end in October 2019 caused the Decline of Civilization.

Lyra and Bon Bon wallow amid the dying days of the PonyPox pandemic. Enjoy(?) suffering with them as they confront conflicts compounded by years of isolation and emerge from simple nursery rhymes of good times into the cold realities of a future without "Friendship is Magic."

Content Note: Bon Bon lights a cigarette! ; addictions touched on lightly; the era of PonyPox.

Review and Honorable Mention in a Contest:

[W]ithin the story's Equestria, My Little Pony is a children's TV show run by profit-minded executives, and Lyra and Bon Bon are at the same time former actors on that show, fans of it, resentful of how it ended, and watching the sequel on their TV as they wither away to death in PonyPox quarantine. and through it all, their conversation meanders through dense references and cultural worldbuilding as the grim details of their situation seeps in around them. out of anything i have ever read on this website, reading this fic comes the closest to the feeling of watching an experimental play, which left me feeling very Art. —Bicyclette

Bon-Bon struggles with the memories of her life in S.M.I.L.E. - the tensions and horrors of it haunt her nightscape. She can speak about them to no one: not only are they secret, she knows the things she faced and sins she committed are beyond what Equestria can handle.

Lyra Heartstrings wants her marefriend to spend the night with her, instead of retreating away to hide.

Even a mountain can be worn down by the rain, and now Bon-Bon must expose Lyra to what keeps her up at night.

Lyra has the perfect plan. With a couple dart blasters, she’ll have Bon Bon in no time.

At least, that was the original plan.

Written for the LyraBon contest.

When secret agent Sweetie Drops is captured by the Mare with the Emerald Hands and taken to her secret underwater base, she thinks she knows how things will go. She’ll be imprisoned. She’ll nearly lose all hope, then she’ll find the inner strength she needs to defeat the villain in a climactic battle.

But then Lyra makes it weird.

There are no series tags for James Bond or Austin Powers, but I'm sure you'll get the idea.

Second Place winner in Bike's Lyrabon contest.

Canterlot High's annual student film festival is fast approaching, and the submissions are now under review. But ultimate writer-director-star-girlfriend team Lyra and Bon-Bon are confident they've made something spectacular. It's innovative, it's bold, it's experimental, it's inspired, it's confident, it's... rejected???

Okay, maybe it was a little too out there for the festival... and perhaps a bit too risqué as well. But they can still salvage this. Right?

Bon Bon is a former monster hunter, now living in Ponyville to protect her cover after a breakout in Tartarus. She doesn't have many friends, but the Summer Sun Celebration is too big of an event to skip.

Lyra is a student and musician going to the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville. Maybe it'll be what she needs to finally find a home.

Both have no idea the impact this one decision will have on their lives.

The story of two bats – one a musician; one a candymaker – who meet and fall in love.
