Life goes by pretty fast. Sometimes we forget to stop and smell the roses. Sometimes we forget what's really important.

Not trees though. Trees never forget. It's a shame they don't have voices to remind us.

Nothing lived here. Nothing could.

These were the only coherent words Luna could force onto the page of her dream journal.

Who is to blame? Why is this happening? How does her sister not see the chaos unfolding?

These questions dance within Luna's addled mind as her nightmares become indistinguishable from reality.

A big thank you to UnamsuedWaffle, INeedSleep, and Orderly Disassembly for prereading and editing!

Now retired from being a princess, Luna is free to pursue her interests: Chief among them reading. So imagine her surprise when she stumbles across a book written by none other than Stygian, a book specifically recounting the story of his past as The Pony of Shadows.

Naturally, Luna is quite intrigued by such a story and feels that she has a connection with the former scholar. So she decides to pay him a visit and have a little chat.

Stygian, for his part, is always thrilled to talk with fans of his work. But little does he suspect that Luna and him will share in some very personal feelings, feelings about the past and how it can shape one's present and future. As well as what it truly means to have once been "evil".

Twilight Velvet is weighed down with expectations. She is expected to marry, to provide her family with an heir. But Twilight Velvet wants more than motherhood. She wants more.

An entry for the ancestral contest.

You stand at the water's edge. Feeling the waves sucking at your feet. You think of her. When do you not? With her wings and her spiral horn. Her crown and her kingdom. She is everything you aren’t.

Principal Celestia muses on what it must be like to be a princess.
TW for dark thoughts and a suicide attempt. Other than that it doesnt really need the T rating.

It is a common belief that with immortality comes a warped perception of time. The years blend together and decades pass in a blink of an eye.

Four hundred years after Luna's banishment, Princess Celestia wishes that those rumors were true.

Inspired by the 4everfreebrony's cover of Cyril the Wolf's "Millennium Alone".

Part 1 of the Misty Saga. Rated T for graphic depictions of abuse around the latter half of the first section and one mild use of profanity. Proceed at your own risk.

Sequel: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/527821/forgiven

Cozy Glow's perfect morning is woefully interrupted by a baleful, skinny little colt. Turns out, he's new to the School of Friendship. After realizing this and that he's attracted to her, she hatches a plan to lead up to the perfect rejection. Screw having him in her empire of friendship, it would be FAR more fun rejecting the little sow.

This was originally for a Cozy Glow competition, but I was unable to finish on time. Still figured I'd publish it anyway! Enjoy :)

Edit: submitting to the contest in case an extension is received! I understand if this entry does not count.

Having settled down in a small coastal town, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow now live together. They might not be family, but they were certainly more than friends. Having been given a chance at redemption, the three decided to leave their past behind.

But sometimes the past has a bad habit of seeking you out.

One sunny day a purple princess comes seeking them out. She brings mementos of the past, but more importantly, memories Cozy Glow wished she'd never have to relive.
