I've been wearing a mask. For how long i'm not certain. Someday that mask will come off. Either i'll remove it willingly or it'll fall off at the worst moment. Until then i'll just write the letters which i'll never send.

Warning: Suicidal and depressive thoughts

Now with audio reading Dear Princess Celestia

After a chance encounter on a train to Trottingham, a vacationing Fluttershy finds herself mistaken for the mysterious La Mariposa, a notorious mercenary master-of-disguise. As a result, Fluttershy is drawn into a world of secret agents, murderous henchponies, and monologuing villains.

Fluttershy, however, has absolutely no idea what's going on.

Finally, it was here. Power Ponies issue number four-hundred and nineteen, the grand finale of the 'Spectacular Siege of the Silver Stallion' arc. Spike had completed all the chores on his list, finished his afternoon nap, and ploughed through his dinner. He'd even eaten all his green vegetables. At last he could settle down, with a small bowl of gems to snack on, and experience the most anticipated comic issue in living memory.

Sadly for him, Twilight was acting strange. At least, stranger than usual.

For context, set prior to the events of the Season 4 Finale 'Twilight's Kingdom'.

Sweetie Belle has the grand idea. Silver Spoon has the cash to make it happen. And Rarity has both the spare storeroom and goodwilled ignorance to give two troublemakers the space they need to add an artificial addition to their rambunctious ranks.

Very very lean oneshot that is my first foray into pure comedy. It's also more of an opening scene for a longer story than the self-sustained vignettes I usually write. Consider it a filler upload while work continues on It Takes A Princess.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Technology has come to Ponyville, and with it all kinds of complications. The School of Friendship in particular has too many students using AI to cheat on their homework. Not to worry, though. A simple, no-exemptions ban on electronics will solve the problem for everyone.

Everyone except the robot employed in the tutoring lounge.

Princess Flurry's dates are not up to Imperial standards.

Scootaloo has been bouncing from home to home for years until moving to Canterlot City with her new adopted mother. After making friends with two of the greatest girls in the world, she finally feels a sense of security in her life, and being in the same place long enough has allowed her to look up to and idolize a certain star soccer player. Now, with hope and newfound courage, Scootaloo makes the decision to chase her dreams of becoming someone and growing close to her longtime idol, but a crushing blow to her shattered heart puts an end to her emboldened aspirations.

It's up to her two best buddies in the whole world to help her realize her truth self worth and the power of love.

This story takes place after the events of my previous stories; Never Grow Apart and Never Drift Away. You are NOT REQUIRED to read those stories if all you came for is Scootaloo.

Anypony will tell you that Princess Celestia is the most amazing pony in Equestria. She's graceful, she's beautiful, and she always knows just what to say. Her decisions are wise and her manners are impeccable. Some might go so far as to say she's completely perfect.

Celestia has a secret, however. As it turns out, she actually is completely perfect. She's utterly infallible in every aspect. And boy, is she sick of it.

Now she's determined to manage to make just one little thing go wrong.

It won't, of course. After all, she's perfect.

Written for the Equestria Daily Pre-reader battle: April 2013- The prompt was "Celestia's terrible secret- Revealed!" Unfortunately it didn't work nearly as well as I'd hoped, but hopefully someone gets a cheap chuckle out of it.

The glamorous unicorn Opalescence is haunted by bizarre recurring dreams of a world in which she and her friends are all animals. But as vivid as these dreams are, surely they're just dreams, right? There couldn't actually be a parallel universe somewhere where they're little more than pets ... right?
