At least, that's what you told everyone.

As you make your way back. You realize you never should have left in the first place.

Twenty-seven hours until the start of the new year...

Pipp simply refuses to go into this year without an awe-inspiring, show-stopping, chart-topping video. If her channel doesn't have the absolute best start it can get day one, then what's even the point? She may as well go back to doing unboxing videos!

No. She's going to make the best video in all of human history, even if she breaks an arm doing it. Luckily, she has a loving sibling and worried friends nearby to both encourage her and keep the EMT on speed dial.

Twenty-three hours until the new year...

It's the Winter Wish Day season, and Pipp is set to soon become a young mother. And as her due date draws near, all the pop star wants is for her sister to be by her side when she gives birth. However, when Pipp goes into labor early, the two sisters find themselves separated.

Determined to be there for Pipp, Zipp sets out to reach her sister. Unwilling to give up, she'll do whatever it takes to get to her destination, even fighting her way through a monstrous blizzard.

Because no matter what happens, if there's one thing Zipp knows, it's that she's going to be there by Pipp's side, no matter what.

Written for The Blue EM2 for Jinglemas 2023.

Sunny knew the road to true unification would be a long one. With any luck, it would no longer be a lonely one thanks to the friends she found along the way.

Everypony thinks no one believed Sunny when she said the three pony kinds could live in Unity until Izzy came to Maretime Bay and proved Sunny right, but that’s not entirely true. Jazz always believed her.

Two years ago when Fluttershy was a sophomore, she spent a fretful month as a teen fashion model. Her burgeoning career was sadly cut short by the relentless bullying of Sunset Shimmer.

When Fluttershy is once again offered an opportunity to rejoin the industry, Sunset sees a chance to make amends.

It's been over 8 years since the portal to Equestria closed forever, and Sunset Shimmer is doing better than ever.

A snippet I dug up from my archives, stripped of context, and posted as a tribute to lost potential.

While exploring the decrepit remains of the Castle of Friendship, Sunny Starscout and her friends discover a strange book that might have belonged to Princess Twilight Sparkle herself. The book's contents resemble a series of letters that were apparently sent back and forth between Twilight and an unknown party.

At some point, Twilight stopped responding.

This story is a sequel to Heart Forged of Iron

Ditzy Doo has been the defender of Manehattan for almost ten years, and she's made a lot of enemies. When an old face pulls it together for one last plot, will she be able to survive the day, or this finally be the end of the Wall-Crawler?

Theme Song.

Samantha Summers didn't want to move from Oregon to go to some crumbling apartment in New York, not because of her mom or her newly attained position at Crystal Empire HQ. It was hard enough trying to figure out why she could generate light energy from her palms; completely changing her lifestyle to fit the standards of another school was another burden. The only interesting thing about it was the abundance of "abnormal people" that originated in New York, and they had all pretty much disappeared. Just a guy in a red and blue suit and occasionally Iron man.

Peter Parker didn't want to wait for Mr.Stark to call him up for another mission, or wait for the action to come to him for that matter. He'd quit every school-related group just to make room for his side-life, and he got nothing in return for it. Lots of people at school got suspicious or cynical of him, and his school life began a downward spiral towards the realm of boring. The new girl at school wasnt even enough to interest him...until he learned the reason behind the gloves she wore all the time.

Despite her reluctance to learn how her powers work, Peter knows an opportunity to have a sidekick when he sees one. He even offers to train her in the ways of crime fighting and selflessly gave her the incredibly awesome name of Firefly! Maybe if he could prove his ability as a leader, Mr.Stark would bring him along on missions more often! They could even be a cool, buddy cop duo-thing, if she trains hard enough!

What could go wrong?
