Princess Luna has always avoided the subject of the number of thrones in the Canterlot royal throne room. But when a filly asks the weighted question to her face, Luna decides to answer – and finds that some recent events have changed what she believes that answer to be.

Beneficial, but not necessary, to have seen the Season 5 episode 'Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?' before reading this.

In the aftermath of the Storm King's power play, Tempest Shadow finds herself at a crossroads once again. She hasn't been banished, but no party can change the festering feeling of being out of place. Exploring the caves underneath Canterlot, she stumbles upon an odd, crimson shard, and a spirit of a lost king who promises to mend her broken horn—and while he's at it, to help her get her old life back.

The hornless pony finds the ponyless horn's offer tempting.

Rainbow Dash isn't bitter about the whole Mare-Do-Well incident. Or at least that's what she tells herself.

All Dash needs is a quill and some paper.

A short story inspired by The Living Tombstone and Glaze's "Beyond Her Tomb" following the life of Carrot Top as she tries to make it in a brutal world of misfortune.

A normal day was all it took.
A simple failed prototype, a missed experiment.
There was an explosion, and I woke up. I don't really know what happened between those two events, but I'm fairly certain I shouldn't have awoken in a small, dark box.

I'm scared.

It goes about as well as one would expect.

Over a thousand years ago, two royal siblings fought for the sky and were exiled, one by her sister's hoof, and one in penance for what she had done.

In the present Republic of Equestria, no one remembers them as anything more than legends and old pony tales. Save for one shy filly who fell from the sky one fine summer's day.

An Alternate Universe "What If" tale, reconstructing the beginning from a different angle.

After years under Zecora's tutelage, it is time for Apple Bloom to take her final test to become a full-fledged shaman; the Spirit Chase. All she has to do is summon a spirit, catch it, and bind it. What sounds simple quickly proves to be anything but when the spirit takes the chase out of the Everfree forest and into Ponyville.

While a Myths and Birthrights side-story, no knowledge of the setting is required to enjoy this one-shot.
