Set directly after the Tirek incident, Fluttershy and Discord are suffering, alone and apart. Fluttershy may have forgiven him, but she feels that she has failed her friend, and longs to understand Discord. Why wasn't she good enough, why did he betray them? Why hadn't he cherished their friendship as much as she had?

Discord, on the other hand, struggles from the pain of his own guilt, and doesn't even know who he is anymore. He doesn't want to lose the closest friend he has either, but he's positive that their relationship will never be the same again. He can't stand it.

They're falling apart, and the magic of the earth isn't happy about it. Then a cloaked stranger comes into the picture, and plants a mysterious flower...

Fluttershy only utters a simple request. "I wish I could understand you, Discord..."

Little does she know that such a wish entails much more than just an understanding...and her wish is granted in the most chaotic of ways--and the only one who can help her is the very friend she is trying to understand.

It all started when Conversion Bureau Celestia met Optimalverse CelestA.I. Both tried to save humanity in the way they best saw fit, but one was betrayed. Now locked in an epic struggle, the Goddesses and the God From the Machine vie for supremacy. Who knows how many different intellectual properties will be infringed along the way?

Although this will be one continuous story, we invite any writer who's an Optimalverse fan to come on over to the forums and chip in their own chapters.

Special thanks to Cloud Cover who expanded the original one-shot here, and is much too modest.

It's a big day for Fluttershy; a day of memories, dreams, pain and peace. But when Cutie Mark Crusaders bring her moment of calm to a sudden and terrifying end, she realises that the the three little fillies' adventures are getting a little out of control. To help them, to keep them safe, Fluttershy decides she needs to tell the story of how she met her strangest, pinkest friend - and confront some old nightmares in the process.

Things change.

The Crusaders all got their cutie marks years ago. Now Apple Bloom is living in mortal dread of becoming a mare, Sweetie Belle is keeping an ever changing list of which colt she wants to be her very special somepony, and Scootaloo is leaving for flight school in Cloudsdale at the end of the summer.

It's a time for first kisses, changing friendships, and new ways of thinking about their bodies and themselves as three best friends to decide what kind of ponies they're going to become, and how they'll survive the bumpy road of growing up. But however they do it, they'll do it together.

Because some things never change.

Warning: This is rated teen, and contains NO SEX, even off screen. But it does contain frank talk about sex and sexuality, and is inspired by the young-adult books of Judy Blume ("Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" and "Forever.") Since these books are typically read in middle or high school, I felt teen was appropriate. If readers or mods disagree, please let me know.

Thank you to DbzOrDie, Jackie, Twifight Sparkill, First_Down, and TheRealRainbowDash for pre-reading, proof reading, and combinations of both.

This story is a sequel to Shut The Blinds

At the request of Twilight Sparkle, Spike goes on a hunt to find answers about the events that led up to the incident that left Rainbow Dash blind.

Sequel to "Shut The Blinds". It's not necessary to read that first, but it might be a good idea.

A horrible Cataclysm has turned all of Equestria into a Wasteland of barren ash and twilight desolation. The Sun and the Moon have been destroyed. Everypony has died--including Princesses Luna and Celestia. But one pony miraculously survives; she is a lone wanderer, the last of her kind, surrounded by menacing creatures that hate her. She navigates the Wastes in an airship and scavenges off the blighted landscape to keep herself alive.

Then one day she meets an old companion who grants her a gift, the chance to go back in time to the warm and sunny days of Ponyville, where her dead friends live in happiness. How far will the last pony venture into this joyous age of Equestria, even if she fully knows that there is no way to change the horrible fate of everypony she loves?

Applejack has always wanted a family of her own, but she had thought it out of reach... until now.

“I've met lots of magic ponies. Even singing ones. I've met everybody.” - Death, DC Action Comics #894

Death comes to all things. Stars, gods, people, and even ponies. She rarely visits Equestria, but it's one of her favorite places. Something about the harmony there. And ponies almost always die when they're very old, which is a nice bonus. But she knows that makes it harder on the ponies left behind, most of them aren't used to death. So sometimes, while she's there, she takes the time to enjoy her visit, and to try to help everypony there to deal with something that seems so strange to them, but so normal to her.

Three part crossover with Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe. But the only thing you really need to know is that Death is the personification of death across all universes, and usually appears to humans as a rather cheerful teenaged goth girl.

Princess Celestia will soon pass from this world into the next. She decides to do the things she's never had the chance to do. The list is easy, mostly activities she can do in a day's time. That is, except for one entry.
The past of the princesses will be revealed, and monumental regrets remembered in this tale of a dying, lonely goddess.

On temporary hiatus while my other story is finished, and then a few quick edits will have this back on my to-do list. Don't lose hope, I'll never forget about this

This story is a sequel to The Sunshine Chronicles

Sunshine Delight has a nearly-perfect life. She has two wonderful mothers, a younger sister she loves to pieces, and spreads smiles and happiness wherever she goes.

But she feels empty. She wants to know where she comes from. With no magic in Equestria powerful enough to birth a child to two mothers, she will travel to the ends of the world to find the answer.

The only question is... will she like the answer she receives?

(Story is ON HIATUS until some of my other stories are completed.)
