After falling into the Stream of Silence, Anon found himself unable to speak. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be an issue, as the Kirin he lives with are used to the presence of the stream and are more than capable of making him a cure.

Unfortunately, said cure relies on the magical foal's-breath flower, which is currently out of season. He's going to have to wait for the next batch of it to grow before he can speak again.

Thankfully, this is a problem that his wife, Rain Shine, has plenty of experience with.

Day #1 of Hearts and Hands Week.

After failing to retrieve the Elements of Harmony, Chrysalis decided to revive the clones that she created. She doesn't understand why she did this, but now she has to deal with the consequences of keeping a bunch of evil, immature, backstabbing and annoying clones around.

Thankfully, she might just have a solution.

Based on the ending to Discord vs Bill on Death Battle. Watch it before reading,

Equestria was in pure chaos, but thanks to Discord, harmony returned. Unfortunately, he did not.

How many years has it been since I joined the military?

I don't know. I lost count. When you feel like you wasted your whole life, you lose your sense of time-- what's sad is that the more you enjoy it, the faster time goes by.

I thought the rest of my time on Equus would be exactly as I described, until she came into the picture.

It is Hearths Warming Eve. A day meant spending time with friends or family, to gather around and cherish time together...

For Doc, it typically means spending time with those who can tolerate him long enough.

Except one of those few ponies is still working to the last minute on Hearths Warming Eve...

Sounds like an investigation is needed to look into why his dear old friend is still delivering, and to find the injustices within the system!

Cream Heart is determined to purchase the latest new game for her son, Button Mash, for Hearth's Warming Eve. She was a gamer once, how hard can it be?

Part of Serina's Hearth's Warming Eve Collection for 2023.

It wasn't Eric's fault he hit the alien with his truck. How was he supposed to see a dog-sized horse walking down the highway in the pouring rain? His life would've been simpler if he just left the animal like any other roadkill. But in his injured delirium, the horse spoke.

This accident soon ends with an intimate personal knowledge of just how dangerous magic can be. An ancient rises, tied to a mysterious tome the pegasus was protecting on the night of the accident. A malevolent force grows within those pages, whispering louder and louder about the cleansing flame. But without the spells inside that cursed tome, Eric's humanity will be gone forever.

He has no choice but to master the words of power contained within, before his life is turned to ashes around him

(Now with a Tvtropes Page!🥳)

Her Majesty Princess Celestia, the Prideful self-styled Goddess of the Sun and mother of all sins who crossed the thin line between righteousness and self-righteousness.

You are the ruler who hides her hunger for power behind lies and facetious benevolence while condemning an entire race to extinction.

We have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth.

We will take your distorted desires without fail.

From,

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

When a huge chunk of Equestria appeared floating above Japan surrounded by a bright golden barrier, everybody panicked until Celestia appeared before them with promises of friendship and peace…

But then things changed.

The Barrier soon started growing, engulfing everything on its path and killing every human it touched while leaving behind everything else, albeit “Purified”.

Even Celestia changed, and what once were promises of camaraderie and brotherhood, became veiled threats:

“The Barrier cannot be stopped, we are sorry.”

“We cannot control it, but you can still be saved! Convert! Become a pony! Become one of us and the Barrier and the Magic of Equestria will no longer hurt you!”

But while some believed the words of this gentle mare, others felt mistrust and fought back, turning the offer of Conversion into an obligation:

Convert or Die.

All while still begging Humans to accept, even when Conversion showed dire downsides to the humans undergoing it.

But there is no longer time, if the humans can’t decide, the Ponies will decide for them: Conversion! Conversion at all cost!

And from the shadows of despair, a last spark of hope emerged!

A group of young forgotten heroes, called back in action by the Staff of the Velvet Room to enact the Greatest theft in history!

It’s time for the Phantom Thieves to return, and steal the purest hearts of them all before those too fall into Distortion!

Having your housemate call the plumber is pretty normal.

Having a changeling show up as the plumber is significantly less normal.

Inspired by Admiral Biscuit's writing challenge.

This was my entry into the 2023 Ponyville Ciderfest convention book, "Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories."

When an all-powerful book with the power to rewrite anything is discovered by the esteemed Dr. Whooves and his stalwart companion, Derpy, great care must be taken to ensure it is not used irresponsibly. However, the temptation to rewrite inconvenient aspects of herself proves too much for the curious pegasus mare to resist, causing Derpy to change an important part of herself and re-writing much of her life. Derpy must then discover a way to undo her the changes made to her life with the help of Doctor Whooves, who no longer has any memories of his former companion.
