It's cold in Phillydelphia.
Silver Lining goes for a walk.
Derpy called Lily here for a reason. A very important one.
Lily probably thinks it's about something else, but it's really a matter of life and death. Derpy knows what Lily's been hiding. The secret can't be hidden forever. There's lives on the line.
There's a monster lurking around Ponyville, and Derpy will do whatever it takes to destroy it.
This story is a sequel to Just Some Flowers
Readers do not have to read Just Some Flowers to understand everything in the story. However, watching the MLP Movie will help understand my story's scenario.
The Friendship Festival was supposed to be a time of enjoyment and happiness. However, thanks to Tempest Shadow, all of that was burned to ashes and the ponies attending the event were taken as prisoners by the Storm Creatures.
Caramel experience as a slave to a Storm Creature named Groak involved taking a few heavy punches from time to time. But none of that pain compared to the arrival of Princess Twilight Sparkle as Tempest's prisoner. And how he chose to take on the miserable task of escorting the mare he cared so dearly for to her doom.
I want to give a fantastic and huge shoutout to Sipioc for not only proof-reading, but also for the cover art. You have been a great help in motivating me to move this simple idea I started in August 2016 forward. Thank you.

This story is a sequel to Melt
This is a sequel to Melt, but can be read independently.
The common cold is, for Celestia, quite rare. Whenever she does catch one it's a time for privacy, reflection, and no shortage of small miseries.
That said, she's never had Twilight Sparkle on her side before. Maybe, just maybe, this cold won't know what hit it.
My thanks go to CosmicAfro for prereading
Now with even more perfect cover art!
Trixie has been dating a stallion and it seems to be going good for the both of them. Unfortunately, Starlight is convinced that this new stallionfriend is not all he seems to be and becomes determined to do whatever she must so to prove it.
And even worse--she just might be right to suspect.
Reforming the tax and legal system had been her responsibility a thousand years ago, and it will be so again. There have been many changes during her millennium of absence, but the fundamentals always stayed the same. Ponies would find ways to circumvent the laws for their own benefit, and it was her job to make sure that didn't happen—in the most direct way possible.

Spike, take a note.
Herein is contained a collection of precisely thirty stories, some related, some independent, each taking no more than thirty minutes to write. Their one unifying theme: all of them will be about me, Twilight Sparkle. These stories will cover a broad range of genres and topics, such as comedy, adventure, horror, and yes, even romance. They will be published one per day every day until all thirty stories have been posted. That makes this a month-long endeavor, Spike, so I hope you brought the extra quills.
It is my hope that with this literary experiment, I will be able to prove that... Spike, are you just doodling a picture of yourself wearing armor? Please pay attention, Spike, this is for science!
Part of the Thirty Minute Series. Find Rarity here, Rainbow Dash here, Pinkie Pie here, Fluttershy here and Applejack here.
Sunset Shimmer has lost everything. All her so-called friends have turned their backs on her thanks to the machinations of Anon-A-Miss, and she's abandoned and alone. About to step out into a cold winter afternoon, she hears a voice she didn't expect calling her back...
Written because of my own temper and sense of righteousness has fouled my thoughts before. Written because we can see the truth of things even through our anger. And written because I'd like to believe that individuals can think beyond the baying of the mob.
Rated T for swearing, discussions of violence, and some other PG-13 scenes.
9/18/17- Featured. For a minute. A little stunned.
9/26/17- Featured. Again. Let's see if it will last...

Princess Luna knows her sister is hiding something. Whatever she may say, 'Daybreaker' did not seem to be some construct of Starlight Glimmer's psyche. It had been far too strong for that.
But Luna will learn that sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone. The truth is not always kind.
My entry for the Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord contest, in which this won second place. The Seattle's Angels Review can be found here.
Thanks to Snu AKA Snowybee, Miller Minus and MewKat for lending their ears, and their pre-reading skills (for Chapters 1-3). I definitely would not have finished this in time without them.
If I had to sum this story up: what if you could interview the devil, and he told you that there were Bigger Fish to Fry?
- Cynewulf, on reviewing this for Seattle's Angels.
Twilight’s got her nose stuck in a book. Sunset wants to go see the rest of their friends.
Things snowball from there.
