Dealing with loss is never easy. 

Ponies can lose a lot of things - loved ones, pets, houses, jobs. For Twilight Sparkle, though, her biggest loss is a limb. 

Her right wing is gone. Lost in battle, Twilight struggles with her changed body, confusing feelings and a crushing lack of hope.

And in the midst of it all, she wonders if sheʼll ever truly recover.

"'Colts will be Colts' is not a sentiment that applies here at my Friendship School!

Times have changed. Kids or not, everyone, students of friendship included, have to answer for these sorts of disrespectful displays. Now, all of you, down to Counselor Glimmer's office, immediately! I'm going to have a long chat with her about what to do with you all!"

EDIT: Now with an AUDIO READING by Skijarama!

You've been the only human in Equestria for some time now. However, it wasn't until this morning that your good friend Twilight suggested you take a peek through the Crystal Mirror. Supposedly, there is another world on the other side of that mirror populated by humans just like you.

She conveniently left out the fact that she herself turns into a human when she passes through it.

In hindsight, you probably should have seen this coming.

Twilight is dead, and Celestia needs to go calm down her friends. This proves to be an easier task than expected.

An entry for the 1000 Words Contest. It's also my first pony story, so please be nice!

Edit 7/21/23: This made the feature list??? As a first story? I’m overwhelmed by the support, thank everyone so much!

Tax season is almost over, and Pinkie hasn't paid hers yet.

Thanks to 6-D Pegasus for proofreading.

Entry into A Thousand Words Contest II.

Now with two readings, one done by StraightToThePointStudio, and one done by Pony&Wolf Productions.

A year after her return Princess Luna begins to grow tired of the day in day out nature of her new court life. Seeking advice she brings it up to her older sister during their daily "changing of the guard".
Note: This story takes place around the time of season 5 of Friendship is Magic, but before the events of "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"

A very simple, one shot story. I really wanted to write something involving best pony Luna and her sister. And so this was born.

This story is a sequel to The Morning After

Tensions run high for Octavia as she and Vinyl make the long journey from Ponyville to meet her parents in Trottingham. But Vinyl soon regrets coming, as she finds herself juggling Octavia’s desire for them all to get along, with her own ever-growing anger towards Octavia’s father.

Rated teen for some strong language, numerous sexual references, and some emotionally distressing scenes. If you are affected by any of the themes covered in this story, please consult this mental health helpline directory here.

Twilight Sparkle is good at finding books even in unexpected places.
She's also a very helpful and proactive young filly.

You'd think these would be good traits, and yet still she manages to nearly ruin Hearth's Warming with an interstellar war.

When I agreed to be sent to Equestria I didn't read the fine print. I'm the wrong age, the wrong sex, and lost in the wilderness.

While Celestia and Luna were the rulers of ponykind of many centuries, they were not the only alicorn leaders of their people's ancient past. Through the power of modern technology, they find a way to restore their father, Solaris, to be able to speak to them once more. As it turns out, this might not have been the best idea.
