The Muse will do anything to bring her lover back from death. She will learn that nothing is greater than love except regret.

The Shaper is a smith of unparalleled skill, her creations the most sought after in the fallen world. When a pony named Lyra comes to her with a unique commission she has to put all her skill to the test to craft a weapon of great power. For Lyra's goal is not an easy one, and it is not just any weapon that can kill a Dragon.

A story inspired by this and this image, as well as this challenge by CDRW (whose fic A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits is quite good).

Gordon Freemane is a pony who never got the memo about the Harmony that binds all of Equestria together. Or perhaps he's more in tune with the Elements of Disharmony, if there is such a thing. Whatever the case, he's as happy as can be when he's left on his own to do whatever he wants, which usually means avoiding the world around him and making plans for getting rich. It's a good thing he has a very bright mind. A very bright and active mind that helps as much as hinders him on his journeys to find the two things he loves: peace and bits.

In this firsthoof account, Dr. Freemane tells us about the places he's been, the things he did and the ponies that got in his way.

Luna has finally decided it is time to take an assistant. Just somepony to assist with paperwork, meetings, and a few other miscellaneous tasks. Soon after this decision is made she highers a shy stallion named Star Dasher. To Luna he was somewhat unique: he was like a male Fluttershy (without the soft animal-loving heart), he has a record of solving problems with ease, and in the opinion of previous employers is a "Spectacular friend, once past the shyness". She hires him and quickly takes a liking to him, even if he doesn't return return the feeling. Will he resist her or will he embrace her?

When a freak reading accident causes Twilight to be admitted to the Ponyville hospital, Rainbow Dash is right by her side. Compelled by a sense of duty and repayment, she takes it upon herself to cheer up her friend.

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."
