A discussion between Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle about faith vs. science leads Twilight to tell Rainbow about the stallion who introduced her to science when she was just a filly, and who forever changed how she looks at the world around her. This fic is inspired by the artwork of the same name drawn by Esuka.

Humans... humans are such a bizarre race. Capable of the greatest benevolence and the worst atrocities. And yet, they're so very predictable. For you see, while societies may die, and nations may crumble, one thing will remain constant: the desire to survive.

I should know. I was there when everything fell.

In a dark place named Tartarus, a subterranean hellscape between worlds, humans and ponies are paired together at random to survive a gauntlet of horrible monstrocities while the future of their realms hang in the balance.

Now, are you buying that? Good. Cuz I'm friggin' tired of having to explain it all on top of dragging this annoying-ass unicorn around the effing corridors of purgatory along with me. You'd think the damn, burning yahoos who run this place would give us rest stops to drown ourselves in beer or something. Friggin' A.

Oh, and some ponies and humans spill blood together and stuff. I dunno. Stop playing BattleDuty: Future Football and read this, or whatever. Like I give a crap...

This story is a sequel to Post Nuptials

In the aftermath of the wedding, Spike is bitter and avoiding everyone. Twilight's determined to find out what's bothering her charge, but she walks a very fine line when dealing with an emotionally distraught child.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash suspects something's wrong with Scootaloo, so she starts spending more time with her in hopes of picking the secret from her brain. As she begins to truly mentor the young filly for the first time ever, she begins to see the advantages to having a little sister.

And while all this is going on, Pinkie is struggling with some old family issues that have been brought to the surface, meaning she might have to confront her past at last.

Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me. Lyra knows that there's something about Octavia.

After falling down a chasm while on a hiking trip with Carrot Top, Derpy finds herself lost in a gigantic forest, where the plants are the size of trees and the bugs are more like monsters. Separated from Carrot Top, alone and scared in a world she doesn’t understand, she finds help in the form of loyal creatures called Pikmin. But while trekking through the dangerous wilderness she will have to learn what it truly means to be a leader, or risk losing all of her faithful friends, as well as her only chance at getting home.

This story is written in alternating chapters with Growing Tall ~ Carrot Top as a collaboration between me and JJ Gingerhooves. It’s possible to read this as a standalone story, but if you want the full experience then start with Carrot Top and follow the links at the bottom of each chapter.

Inspired by Friendship with Benefits is Magic. Not intended as a direct followup as much as my own take on the idea. What is Celestia to do when Twilight Sparkle shares a little too much? And why doesn't Twilight have any idea what she's talking about? And why is Luna smiling so much!?

Followed up by yet another epistolary conversation between Twilight and Celestia about the magic of not knowing what the hay that other pony is talking about. Features a special guest appearance by naughty!Luna.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

Why won't everypony leave Cheerilee alone about being single?!
