This story is a sequel to Now Or Never Now

"I fell in love,/'Cause no one saw me the way you did,/And no one's seen me that way since,/But for a short time that's how I lived./Can't get happy, can't get sad,/It's hard to do,/When I hate everyone but you." -The Front Bottoms, 'Everyone But You'

Prequel 1: "Constant Headache"
Prequel 2: "Now Or Never Now"

Gallus goes to visit Smolder in the hospital after an accident during cheerleading practice. While she is recovering well, the scare does cause Smolder and Gallus to talk about their relationship. However, even as she is recuperating, the two can't help but exchange insults and taunts to one another.

After holding off on an essay for way too long, Gallus now has to try and complete it all in a single night, but thankfully Smolder shows up to give him the little encouragement he needs.

This story is a sequel to Softly

"And it's quite a cost but nothing comes for free./But when you know you know you know,/It's meant to be./Meant to be." -The Beths, 'When You Know You Know'

Prequel 1: "I Owe You One"
Prequel 2: "Softly"

Gallus and Ocellus have been keeping their relationship a secret from others for quite a while now. However, against every fiber of Gallus' being, they both agree that it's time to share the news with their friends. But how will the others react to the news?

Ocellus and Gallus are in love. That's it. That's the story.
[Contains: Language, Implied Sex]

This takes place in the future. Both characters are adults.

Gallus the griffin nearly sabotaged his friends’ opportunity to return home to their families for the holidays due to his own lack of one. Though his friends opted to stay in Ponyville with him, Sandbar recognized that this was only a temporary fix for a more permanent problem. On the morning of Hearth's Warming, Sandbar gives Gallus a present that he hopes will make his Hearth's Warming, as well as the rest of his life, the best it can possibly be.

Written because I wanted to write a Hearth’s Warming story that wasn’t so much in the same vein as Die Hard like Lion Hearted was. Plus, I’m planning another story involving the Young Six in the near future and I thought this story would be a good way to dip my toes in with them, so to speak. Happy holidays, everyone!

Silverstream hadn’t always been deaf, but she’d always had a loving family who were willing to support her every step of the way. Gallus had always been deaf, and wasn’t so lucky.

This story is a sequel to A Day for Family

Friends and Family Day has come and gone, leaving behind both many happy families with a plethora of newly-forged, long-lasting memories, and one exhausted griffon with a multitude of hauntingly bad memories that he would rather forget.

Of course, he also made quite a lot of good memories as well. Funnily enough, almost all of them focus on a certain pink hippogriff. These are memories he wouldn't trade for the world.

Unfortunately, it's never really that easy even if Gallus wishes it would be. So while he may be in a far better place than he was before, he's still far from being as well as he could or wants to be.

Luckily, he has a great number of others, willing to stand by his side to help him heal. His teachers... His friends... Silverstream... All of the ones that he loves are standing with him as he makes his journey toward serenity. And while that long, arduous journey is still his to walk...

He doesn't have to walk it alone.

WARNING: Though the Suicide Tag is included, the act itself does NOT occur! In fact, it is added specifically because of Chapter Nine - and ONLY Chapter Nine - where the topic is brought up and discussed briefly.

All other chapters are devoid of any major discussions of the subject matter.
