Twilight composes a letter to the Princess about a terrible Hearth's Warming gift.

Featured on Equestria Daily, 23 June 2012.

Smarty Pants comes home after school after being chased home by a group of bullies throwing stones at her, and heads straight to her bedroom to sulk alone. She attempts to take her mind off of things by doodling random pictures, one of a doll she names Twilight.

In an attempt to leave her reality for a short while, she decides to make one of her own.

Following her defeat and expulsion from Canterlot, Chrysalis is fuming. That mood doesn't improve when Celestia arrives on her doorstep. Things degrade from there...

Thanks to Famosity from Deviant Art for letting me use her art for the cover.

The speaking of rhymes. Zecora has never spoken without rhyme, but... what happens when she can't rhyme?

Celestia wakes up in human form and at an insane asylum where similarities between the world she is in now and the world of Equestria cause her to wonder if Equestria even exists or if she simply made it up to escape her human life. Does she try to hold on to her memories of her Canterlot life or does she let them go and accept them as nothing more than stories? Who is she going to trust? Who is she anyway?

This is only the beginning...

Apple Bloom had always dreamed of the day. She just never dreamed that it would be a nightmare.

At first, Chrysalis loathed him; the dumb-as-a-brick woodspony who goes by the name of Evergreen. But through circumstance, he is her only savior. And slowly, she comes to love the simple pony and his way of life. But her life as a changeling keeps holding her back. Will there be a happily ever after for them? Or are they doomed for failure?

In search of gems to complete her ornate Nightmare Night costume, Rarity accidentally finds herself transported to a world where a holiday not unlike Nightmare Night is less an event than a way of life - and her friends soon follow in hopes of rescuing her. Or, to put things more lyrically....

It was some time ago, but not too long, you see?
In a place that perhaps you have seen on TV.

For this story spans places far from pedestrian,
Crossing spooky and dark with bright and Equestrian.

Now, you may be asking how that crossing was done.
If you are not, I'd say it's time you begun!

(An excellent talking-book version of this story can be found here.)

Octavia is a high-class pony. Fine alcohol is her wont, and uncouthness her intense chagrin. Such is her surprise to find herself lumbered with an insufferable oaf of a DJ pony. However, sometimes these situations work themselves into a satisfactory ultimatum all the same.
