As Twilight helps Zecora collect Scari Berry, she comes in contact with some while falling off a cliff and received a gash to her eye. Now she keeps envisioning illusions of Slender Mane that she thinks are real, nopony understands what she is seeing and waves it off as insanity. Now she doesn't know who else to turn to. Can Twilight overcome her insanity?

"Suppose I killed them all?"

After Gilda looses her cool, she retreats in haste, flying over the Everfree Forest. She makes the mistake of flying into a harsh storm, but doesn't bother to take cover. She carelessly zips over the wood line disregarding the storm until lightning strikes near her; the force of witch causing her to plummet to the forest below, where she will spend her final hours... for there is evil waiting to devour her.

A one-off story. Princess Celestia calls back Twilight to take over her duties as court magician and Applejack goes with - and gets more of a taste of her govenment than she wanted.

And then she insults Celestia's cooking skills.

The Great Crystal War has raged for a year now. In that time, it has already claimed immeasurable lives, reduced parts of Equestria to ruin, and brought nothing but misery to everyone. In the middle of this conflict, two best friends are reunited under the worst possible circumstances.

This is their story of Survival, Sacrifice, and Friendship.

Made it to the Feature Box on 2/4/17 for about two hours. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Heh.

A short story once written in 2012, reworked and remastered for present audiences, now set in the Crystal War timeline shown in the Season Five finale.

Special thanks to: Prak, Pearple Prose, Skeeter, Majin Syeekoh, and R5H for helping me get this story ready.

It's been years since Gilda lost her best friend. She's sat at the edge of the Abysmal Abyss almost every day since then, just trying to finally let go.

An epilogue of sorts to 'Mothers.' Gilda is dragged off for a little 'chat' by the behemoth bulldozer of a pegasus, Fluttershy's mother Barricade. But what exactly did they 'chat' about?

Again.

“H-hello, you’ve reached Fluttershy. I’m sorry I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you could leave a message I will get back as soon as possible. Thank you…”

Again.

“H-hello, you’ve reached Fluttershy. I’m sorry I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you could leave a message I will get back as soon as possible. Thank you…”

Derpy Hooves goes about her usual daily routine, but with a slight change: she tries to talk to Twilight Sparkle. Will she be able to become friends with the introverted unicorn, or will she put her off with her... unique ways?

Important Notice: Blood is Thicker takes place before Sunset. Meanwhile, Reluctant Reunions takes place AFTER Sunset.

Why are these together? I honestly do not remember, but I suspect it's too late to fix that now. Sorry. ^^;;

Blood is Thicker:

Twilight Sparkle receives a letter out of the blue from her mother. She has left her the ages-old task of keeping their family tree updated, and hints to it being incomplete. Will she be able to discover this missing relative, or will she fail as her mother did?

"Reluctant Reunions":

Trixie assures you, no matter WHAT that infernal Twilight Sparkle says, she is NOT the Great and Powerful Trixie's sister, and that mare with her is NOT Trixie's mother!

... And most certainly of all, Trixie is not starving to death or down on her luck! She is the chosen protege of the greatest magician the world has ever know! There is no WAY that Trixie could ever be like that. None!

These works take place in the 'Sunset' universe
