Pan Flash isn't Pinkie Pie -- but she does play her on TV.

Now with a most excellent reading!

This story is a sequel to Butter Up

Barnstormer isn't Rainbow Dash -- but she does play her on TV.

This story is a sequel to Deep Cover

Butter Up isn't Fluttershy -- but she does play her on TV.

Suri Polomare had every reason to be confident. A little theft here, a little deception there, and Fashion Week was as good as hers.

Too bad she didn't think about the long-pressured conscience of a certain timid assistant.

Inspired by the artwork of muffinshire.

Edit: So I've been told this story was featured. That's fantastic and I love you all for it. For srs.

While travelling home from a weekend in Manehattan, Fluttershy finds herself stranded and alone at an old abandoned train station. As she explores the ancient building, she soon discovers that this particular station isn't that abandoned, and her night quickly turns into a fight for survival.

Special Thanks to my dear and wonderful friends, Alcatraz, CrystalBronies, Hawkshadow and kotor511 for the terrific job of editing, pre-reading, prof-reading and general advice.

Star Power isn't Twilight Sparkle -- but she does play her on TV.

This story has an audio version!

Written for the December 5th Writeoff Contest. Prompt: "Behind closed doors."

When Sunset Shimmer, the current protege of Princess Celestia, befriends and agrees to engage in magic lessons with Twilight Sparkle, an introverted filly with a great desire to learn everything possible about magic, she quickly learns that she is far from a normal unicorn, which leads to speculation upon Canterlot society. Speculations that lead Sunset to questioning her friendship with Twilight while also struggling to keep her bond with Princess Celestia as her mentor strong.

GRIMDARK

I have lived my entire life among the ice at the top of the world with my pod. I knew little of the world outside of the ways of We of the Sea, and as a filly, that suited me just fine. But one day, the steel whales came, and on their backs, they carried creatures not unlike myself, yet wholly different. For while I swam in the sea, they walked on the land and flew through the air. Yet they reminded me of my kind, so curious, so tragic, and so infinitely precious. Where they did not understand, they sought to learn with a foolish stubbornness. Where they wandered far from home, they extended their hooves in friendship.

Where they waged their wars, they fought with a violent savagery that was frightening to me.

As I held a dear friend close, the breath fleeing from his body, I only wanted to know one thing.

Why?
