In a small outpost near the war front with the griffons, a young apprentice tailor named Needle Point learns the ins and outs of living this close to a large military camp.

Specifically, the dangers of becoming romantically entangled with a soldier pony.

But youth is the perfect time to break rules and make mistakes. Especially when the cutest military medic ever drifts into Needle Point's shop, looking for some thread.

A side story for Rekindled Embers. No knowledge of the other story is necessary to enjoy this one.

Written for a Quills and Sofas Speedwriting event.

Over the weekend some ravens got into the abandoned shop down the street.

That was when Brimstone knew his time was up.

A story set in the Rekindled Embers universe, which was created by my friend, applezombi. Please send him your support.

River the zebra took pride in her work as an agent of Customs and Immigration in Jubilation, the largest port of the Free Zebrica Republic. She didn't mind the paperwork, and quite enjoyed the company of her coworkers (even though one was a bit flirty, especially for a widower nearly a decade younger than her).

What changes might come when an unscheduled group of refugees arrive, seeking safety and a new home?

This is a Rekindled Embers side story. No prior knowledge of the main story is necessary to enjoy this one. However, if you wish a brief summary: It has been a thousand years since alicorns vanished from Equestria, which is now ruled by a bigoted, tyrannical theocracy.

Written as part of a speedwrite event for my friend Nailah, held on her Discord server.

Pre-reading and Editing thanks to several different writers, including Holtinater, Stinium Ruide, Nailah, Queen Chrysalis Forever, Atom Smash, and Nano Discussions.

Chrysalis has been driven from her hive, from that nice cave she’d found, and even the Log Cabin she’d endured in the north. Now, devising her latest scheme for revenge, the exiled Queen had hoped the puny pony holiday and this accursed forest would have brought her some peace. To no avail of course, she was here again.

At least Celestia had brought some gifts this time.

In the Holy Equestrian Diarchy, certain differences are punishable with imprisonment in a reeducation camp. Ponies that don't think the way they're supposed to, don't talk the way they're supposed to, and don't love the way they're supposed to, are locked away, out of sight, until they can be reformed.

Only nopony really ever gets reformed.

This is a Rekindled Embers side story. No reading of the original should be necessary, though there may be mild spoilers for Rekindled Embers for those who haven't read up to Chapter 23.

Editing: This story was originally written as a speedwrite, with prereading provided by several participants in that contest (I'm sorry, I don't remember everybody who helped! Please remind me and I'll credit you appropriately!) Editing provided by Emotion Nexus and AuroraDawn.

Now with a voice reading by Nailah! Go check it out! (Note- Voice Reading was done prior to the final round of edits, so there may be some few small differences)

Butterscotch had never been a social pony.

This is all intensified when he confronts some school bullies who seem awfully interested in calling other ponies ‘girly’. Funnily, it’s not the words that get to him, but the aggression.

The unicorns turned, and now monstrosities roam the streets and docks of Vanhoover.

What better basis for a romance than casual undead acquaintanceship during the snowpocalypse?

Rated Teen due to mild violence. Nothing graphic.

This story is a sequel to A Trip Through the Mirror

For a changeling, love is magic, and magic is love. They are one and the same within the changeling body. To share magic is to share love. And we all know what happens when an unreformed changeling shares love. Unfortunately for Chrysalis, she got caught up in the moment and forgot for just a second. But a second was enough...

A "what if?", alternate ending for "Frenemies".
