Lightning Dust wakes up late, to another grey, gloomy day. She's cold and tired, and she's never felt so terrible in her life. But really, all she needs is to get back into a routine, or to see her friends, or to sleep a little bit longer... then she'll be fine.

Really.

Dramatic reading by Limey Reads

This story is a sequel to Playing Pretend

Screw Loose is happy. She has friends and a good job. Sometimes her medicine makes her see things, but sometimes those things mean a lot to her.

The doctor is making her take new medicine, so Screw Loose has to find a way to say goodbye to her best friend.

AN: Written for One-Shotober.

Screw Loose is better now. She doesn't have to live at the hospital, she doesn't think she's really a dog, she hardly ever has episodes anymore, and she's starting to make friends again. Sometimes, though, it's nice to play pretend.

Sometimes, Screwball helps her play pretend.

AN: Created for One-Shotober.

Granny Smith recovers from a bout of pneumonia, and the Apple family realizes that if they keep their secrets much longer, they might never get a chance to open up to her. Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom and Braeburn visit her at the hospital and tell her things they've kept hidden for far too long.

How does she take it? Not how you'd expect.

AN: Written for One-Shotober.

Spike never believed that he lived an easy life, but the little rewards he had worked to gain were well worth it.

What is a young dragon to do when, from out of the blue night sky above comes a strange creature, seeking to ruin his life, to steal his family and friends, and to warp the town he dearly loves?

His new adversary, for his part, is more than pleased to find both a new home and new followers..

The sky has opened and out of it comes devastation in its worse form: that of a doge.

Twilight and Rarity go to a rather... interesting spa. They both come back refreshed, though.

"Dear Derpy Hooves... I love your butt, and so, I wrote this letter to inform you about it! Probably not one of my best ideas, but I couldn't resist. You just had to know about my feelings."

Derpy's gotten an odd love letter in the mail from a very secret admirer. Who this might be? She may never know...

Coauthored with RainbowBob

What started out as a simple conversation escalated into... this. Considering I wrote most of it, RainbowBob told me I should be the one to post it. So, I am.

This story was inspired by, though not really related to "Dear Princess Celestia: I Hate You" and its sequel "Dear Princess Luna: I Love You"

Something about Lightning Dust just seemed a little 'off'. Sometimes she didn't react the right way to the world around her, and sometimes the way she reacted was positively frightening... but it wasn't until she laughed off nearly killing a couple of ponies that anypony actually realized just how messed up she was.

Cover art is by the amazing and godlike Conicer.

Raindrops seems to be settling into her new life among the Hooves family, if this day is anything to go by. When you're a big foal at heart anyplace can be magical with your imagination, and any situation can be cause to bring out the alter ego. Enter the baddest tough-as-nails space commander that Eqquis Prime has ever seen! Follow her as she seeks out the disappearance of all pony life on the planet! Marvel at her quick thinking, her razor wit, and her lightning reflexes! Tremble before her powers of deduction! Are we overselling it? Probably, but don't let her hear you say that!

A follow up piece in the Raising Raindrops universe with a much goofier premise and much lighter tone, expect silliness to abound. You should really read the first one first or you'll be extremely confused. Check out the author's notes as well before starting for warnings, please.
