An alternate take on events that begins in the middle of Chapter 2, Episode 6 ("The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over") of Make Your Mark. This story assumes reader knowledge of the show up to that point.

Zipp had a lot of suspicions about Misty, the strange unicorn that Izzy had met in town earlier that day and invited to an impromptu sleepover party at the Brighthouse. But while she'd been exercising her detective skills on their guest all night as the oddities surrounding her piled up, she hadn't meant to drive Misty away. So when, after Misty flees from the party in a panic, Zipp notices that she's still out in the Brighthouse's garden, pacing frantically, Zipp decides to see if she can talk to her, and figure out just what is going on with this curious new pony.

And what she learns may well give Zipp room for pause -- and a need to exercise some comfort skills.

Please note that while this fic is rated E, there is some mild discussion of parental/familial abuse.

Matilda and Cranky's wedding didn't go off as planned. That irritates Ponyville's chief planner, who incidentally happens to be one of the four most powerful ponies in all of Equestria. Twilight has many questions, and they begin with the whereabouts of a certain spirit of mischief.

A mare who rarely speaks, a mare who never had a voice. This is the story, of how they found each other's voices...

Octavia had once lived the life of a a noble. Under the reign of her tyrannical mother to be shaped into a ‘perfect’ mare, Octavia’s only comfort came from music. When that only joy is about to be taken away from her at her arranged wedding, she runs away to the first train leaving Trottingham. From there, she ends up in Ponyville, where she meets a rather mute, and irritable DJ named Vinyl Scratch…
Most of the time. She speaks, but not often. More so than when Octavia was able to speak her mind. Will the two be able to heal from the wounds that made them this way, or will Octavia’s mother be able to track her down and ruin everything that has formed between the two musicians?

After Derpy is late home several nights in a row, Dinky makes a sad discovery about why her mother works so hard. Being the clumsiest pony in town can be a costly problem, but Dinky wants to help fix things for her Mommy.

Twilight had done it. Spring had come on time for apparently the first time in quite a while in Ponyville thanks to her stellar organization skills...

What Twilight DIDN'T realize, was that Winter Wrap Up actually already had an organizer in place and that she basically took her position right out from under her.

Just a feelsy little one-shot I decided to write after it was revealed in episode 100 what Sparkler used to do in Ponyville before Twilight. Seriously, nopony finds it kinda sad?

Also, kinda, sorta spoilers for the 100th Episode, but takes place after Winter Wrap Up.

Edit 2: Featured in Equestria Daily's Pony Spotlight #5

For Vinyl Scratch, the entire world isn't in color, but in sound. Yet for all her love of her musical art, she doubts her work at times. When Pinkie Pie's two sisters are due to visit Ponyville suddenly, Vinyl is the one who is to provide music for the welcoming party. Yet the need to create new music for the gathering brings up Vinyl's doubts and forces her to investigate what sisterhood might "sound" like. And as she encounters one of Pinkie's sisters, she learns that one's talents are a part of who they are. And that talent is not whether you do something better than somepony else, but if you love what you do and give it your all.

The Royal bloodline has spanned centuries, a regal and very particular group of individuals who mostly keep themselves to themselves. But, over the years, this small group has slowly withered away into nothingness, forgotten in the mists of time.

So, when a newly crowned princess Sparkle comes to Luna with evidence of a true bloodline descendant, how will she react?

A short story written for the final part of Formal's Fanfic challenge!

Octavia goes to a field in search of inspiration, and is soon left making social decisions she wouldn't usually make. What will come of her interactions with this strange and distant pony?

Based on the game Vinyl's Silent Wish, by TsubukiSan, a game I loved so much, I decided it needed a longer story.

I drew the cover art myself.
