Flurry's going through a phase. That phase has gotten her into poetry. Shining Armour knows about poetry; he studied it in school. So of course when Flurry comes to him looking for advice on a poem of hers, he's ready to leap into action.

If only Shining wasn't such a goddamn moron.

Sunset has put the past behind her. Chrysalis hasn't.

Entry into Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest: Endings

Despite moving to Ponyville, Octavia's career is going strong. In high society, name and recognition is everything, this is holds true for anypony who wishes to work in those circles. So sometimes having a reputation helps in getting those well paying jobs at private parties.

But sometimes? Sometimes Octavia hates her reputation. Because when a pony is found dead in the estate of House Radon, every eye turns to her to figure out who killed the pony, including the main suspect herself: Lyra Heartstrings.

With the rest of Canterlot a blizzard away, help is not likely to show up any time soon. So not only will Octavia have to figure out who among the guests is a killer, she'll also need to confront past demons she wishes she'd left behind.

Last night, Bon Bon did something stupid.

But that’s nothing new, really. She does something stupid every week, and Lyra Heartstrings knows this begrudgingly well.

Lyra never imagined she’d have to defend her besieged house from Royal Guards, though.

Don't read this. Just don't. This story is in more crack than the entire state of California.

Change... It always happened, no matter what anyone or anything tried to do about it, for good or bad change was a given. Still... Chrysalis had almost managed to change the fate of her hive to her whims, she had stood at the cusp of greatness and failed to grasp it.
Instead the Queen of Changelings had suffered a catastrophic blow.
She and her brood were blasted far away into the desolate badlands.
She had failed to change just as her mother before her...

But change did not play favorites. And Chrysalis still had a part to play.

As she lay broken and beaten within an inch of her life fighting for what little of it she had left, something in the sky shook in agony and shock, as an entity not meant for this world crashed into it. Something very old and alien. Something kind and wise. Something terrible and awe inspiring.
Something blue and something changed...

And the universe would never be the same...
