Celestia sends Twilight a very special book that contains some of the oldest and most powerful magics known to ponykind. Included in the book is the way by which alicorns are created. Twilight visits her teacher in Canterlot to learn more, but gets much, much more than she bargained for.

I wasn't really sure what to tag this story. I chose the adventure tag because I see this story as an intellectual adventure for Twilight. Let me know if you think it should be something else and I'll change it.

Big thank you to GorisTheDeathclaw (my editor) for putting up with my typos and grammar fails, and for helping me in writing this. Also edited by my brother, but he's not worth mentioning.

Major props to UrbanHawk for the new cover pic! Check him out, he's awesome.

Told in Fluttershy's PoV.

Ten years. Ten years was all it took for Fluttershy's life to fall apart. She's living alone, her friends are farther than distant, her one and only love is married to another mare with kids, and she's been practically forgotten by the entire world. She's wondering if life is really worth it, if she would ever get her happy ending.

But life, apparently, has a very twisted sense of humor. All it took was one day to push her over the edge.

More Info:
--Shipping: One-Sided Fluttermac (Guess which side, genius)
--Contains minor sexual themes, minor language, dark plot (no, not that kind), implied suicidal thoughts, implied death, lots of Fluttersadness.

Author's Note
I know this story is very, very different from what I usually write. The inspiration for this story came from my own life that hasn't been agreeing with me lately. Here's hoping to things get better.

Edit
This fanfic officially has its own fanfic? Fanfiception.

Granny Smith reflects on her life and the events that led her to this day.

This was based on the song "Apples Of My Eye" by Feather, Rhyme Flow & Legion. I was sitting late at night listening to it for an uncountable amount of time and something (stupid as this sounds) snapped in me. The song made me think about things, things to do with life and how amazing it can be, but I won't explain it all here. I'll leave that for the author's notes.

Why did the CMC forgive Babs Seed so quickly? She's just a bully right? A quick one-shot creating a backstory for this mean, heartless beast that obviously didn't deserve their friendship...right?

Author Notes: Set during Bab's train ride from Manehattan, right before she arrives in Ponyville.

Thanks to SlushieOwl for letting me use her awesome picture located here: http://slushiowl.deviantart.com/#/d5m4732

Also, my first story ever, constructive criticism would be awesome!

When filly Twilight asks Celestia to tell her a bedtime story, the Princess is not prepared for the many memories that float to the surface once she is asked this. She mainly remembers a small filly just like Twilight, who also asked for bedtime stories many years ago.

Life, by definition is the the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through. There must be something more than that, there must be...

It's the day after Heart's and Hooves, and the debacle that came with it. Now freed from their various jobs, the mares and stallions are preparing for a couples-only celebration of the holiday. But when Scootaloo hears rumors about Rainbow Dash's date, she quickly becomes involved in the situation, turning once again to the books that got her and in her friends in so much trouble before.

This story could be considered a shipping of Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash, so it is going to be rated Teen for the sake of people not screaming at me. However, it is designed to be a wholesome story for all ages about growing up and feeling love for the first time, and will not involve anyone taking advantage of a young filly's feelings. Like any good story from Equestria, there will be lessons learned all around.

Cover Image is mine, but whatever, it took 5 minutes in Gimp and is public domain for all I care.

When the Crusaders feel like they've tried just about everything to get their cutie marks, Apple Bloom has the idea that maybe they're meant to be matchmakers for all of Ponyville! But before they turn their skills on just anypony they decide to test their plan out on Big Macintosh first. (Just a note, this was started before the plot of Hearts and Hooves was even released. >_< )

Nine ponies have been kidnapped and forced to take part in a game called the Nonary Game. With no memory of their past lives the nine must work together to try to piece together their past and beat this game. But who can you trust in a game of deception, betrayal, and death. Where the very pony who you are working with could be the very one who brought you here in the first place.
