Sometimes you look so hard for something that you miss what's right in front of you.

You just have to keep hoping.

Rarity awakes to knocking, only to find a book the only thing at the door.

Reading the research log of Twilight's feeling ends up to be one of the better things she's done.

Accepted into Twilight's Library! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

Written for the Friendship is Magic Gaming Clan creative contest.

Not written for but given the okay to add it to the RariTwi Contest (Made it to the top five too EDIT: Tied for the Top Prize)

Rainbow Blitz falls for the quiet and bookish Dusk Shine, but nothing goes as planned for the poor pegasus, and he becomes a victim of intolerance and prejudice, with betrayal lurking around every corner. In the meantime, Dusk doesn't know what he should do, this is something he has to work out by himself.

The Changelings have been defeated and Shining Armor and Princess Cadence have said their vows, but that still leaves the Mane Six and others with the issue of the strain on their friendships. And among all the guests present at the reception, a few of them are going to be suprised with what new relationships are formed.

A live reading by Alchemystudent is available here.

Not too far into the future, Twilight Sparkle visits Queen Chrysalis, in response to a letter stating her intention to ask forgiveness for her crimes against Equestria.

Apparently some of Rarity's friends aren't as squeaky clean as she thought.

Haven't been able to get much writing in recently so I'm doing a few one shots to warm back up. Done in using TMP prompts minus the time limit. Done in one sitting though, took about an hour an ten minutes.

Prompt used:
Prompt #7: “Dare To Be Stupid”

The circumstances leading to, following, or surrounding somepony uttering the question, “How could Twilight Sparkle be so stupid?”

For Rarity, the words left unsaid are often most meaningful. A life of standards and a sense of class has led her to assume that breaking these standards are wrong, and that reining in one's true emotions is a path to success.

However, something has been keeping her up at night and threatening to break the mold she has lived by throughout her life. Which will crack first, her presumed lifestyle or herself?
