The time has come for the funeral of Twilight Sparkle.

Princess Cadance is grateful she doesn't have to attend alone.

Featured from June 15th to June 17th, peaking at #1. Thanks, everypony!

It's the magical discovery of the millennium! Using a series of magical techniques devised by Starlight for leveraging limited magical power for greater effect, and a theory that Twilight quietly snuck out of the Forbidden Section with, a spell has been developed that can reverse Death itself!

There's just one problem: Ponyville doesn't exactly have a reputation for murders. They've tested the spell on a mouse, sure, but they've yet to find a dead pony who fits the requirements for the spell.

So Glimmer suggests that they make a dead pony. And, after racking their brains for a while, there's only one pony that both of them would willingly murder.

Written in a day under the influence of some very bad writing prompts.

Starlight Glimmer runs out of coffee.

Equestria may never recover.

Pre-read by Daemon of Decay.

Rainbow Dash keeps landing in trouble. For flying. Seriously? She's starting to think it's deliberate...

A fun little one-shot with Rainbow in the human (non-EQG) world.

Now has an awesome reading, by StraightToThePointStudio.

Longdesc

There's nothing left that can save Equestria. Not Discord, not Celestia, not Luna, not Cadance, not Princess Flurry Heart. But their presence can at least buy Starlight Glimmer time to escape. She just needs to convince Trixie to come with her.

This story is a sequel to The Application of Unified Harmony Magics

  After the incredibly awkward reunion last night, Sunset is less than eager about her promise to introduce Twilight Sparkle to Princess Celestia. Maybe it would help if Twilight could go more than five minutes without a panic-driven ramble.
  Despite her doubts, Sunset decides to do her best. But between a bowl of ice water, Philomena’s antics and Celestia’s sly smile, Sunset knows this isn’t going to be easy.
  Still, Twilight probably could have handled it better.

Hearth's Warming Eve is that really special time of year when families get together and celebrate what it means to be close to somepony’s heart. And every year, Minuette keeps showing up in Ponyville just before Hearth's Warming Eve. Why?

Spell testing temporarily causes Twilight to lose the ability to even. She must figure out how to be able to again.

Rarity loves her friends but she really wished they had asked her opinion before deciding she was their girlfriend.
