Epic Pancake Productions did a reading, too.

They said mighty Saraneighvo would never fall.

They said proud Saraneighvo would never weep.

They said old Saraneighvo could never die.

In the darkest of days, we find solace in whatever we can.

Inspired by the story of Vedran Smailović, the real Cellist of Sarajevo.

Twilight takes a walk in the woods near Canterlot to clear her mind, when a mischievous little phoenix starts dropping chestnut shells on her head. Quite a familiar mischievous little phoenix.

Somewhat inspired by the song "Evermore" by Alison Krauss, a story to perhaps make its reader smile.

Thanks go to Skywriter, GhostOfHeraclitus, and "Nettle" for pre-reading; and Ziom05 of deviantART for permission to use "Sun Springs" as the cover art.

I was still a young colt when I took my first steps into the world of steam engines and railroading. I was meant to sing the song of steel, the chorus of the railways. Despite the challenges, discomfort, and dangers, I wanted to be a railway pony. I wanted a fine steam engine like #3803. I wanted to be like Highball.

What I got? Well now, there's a story worth telling...

Rainbow Dash tries her hoof at something she's never done before: poetry

Pipsqueak and Dinky are good friends playing together in the forest when they make a discovery.

Short, innocent friendshipping.

CAUTION: May be D'awww inducing.

When Twilight and Applejack have a falling out over who can claim to have the best big brother, each will stop at nothing to prove theirs is better.

And their brothers will stop at nothing to make their sisters happy.

Sometimes we just have to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life

A little something to get me back into the swing of things. Special thanks to Bronystories for giving me some great advice.

Sometimes, one has to break all conventions.

This story is a sequel to Let Them Eat Cake

Applejack takes a moment to consider apple pie, and the stories behind them.
