The sole ruler of Equestria ventures out to try to regain something from her past.

She doesn't need to be buried to be buried alive.

When the pegasi lose their feathers, they also lose the ability to walk on clouds. The answer to 'why' is lost to time. The real question is... what happens to Cloudsdale?

It's Princess Day! A happy day when little five year-old fillies and colts get to meet the Princess of Friendship and find out if they'll get their cutie mark extra-early.

Daylily can't wait to find out what happens to him.

Fluttershy is fine. Really, she is. Sure, she was a magically created fruit-sucking vampire hybrid a week ago, but now she’s fine. She’s seen a pair of fangs in the mirror now and then, but she’s fine. She drools at the thought of apples, but she’s fine. Nothing to worry her friends about.

It’s not like she has a problem or anything.

Everything. Is. Fine.

Pre-read by Majin Syeekoh (who also gave me the idea), King of Madness, TheBritishPony, and Zendar.

Applejack is many things. Honest, hardworking, kind, and trustworthy. To her friends, she's somepony they can always count her to be there when they need somepony to talk to, or when they simply desire a snack or cider. To her family, she's everything they could've asked for in a farmpony.

But beneath it all, there's a voice that cries day in and day out, yearning to be free. Never is it heard, ever is it present.

That is, until one autumn day when her wish is granted, for the hat gifted to her all those years ago is blown away, breaking her free of its eternal grip.

Now, her hat must get back home by any means necessary. Lucky for it, Ponyville has plenty of potential hosts for its calming and motherly touch...

He's gone, but he's still… here. I can feel him near me, in the room. He's watching me, forced to watch his own father's tears and sadness. I can't see him, but I can feel his sadness as well. I so desperately want to hold him and tell him everything's fine.

That's what a father does; he protects his foals no matter what.

I want to hold him. But he's gone.

Rockhoof is one of the Pillars of Equestria, gifted with unparalleled strength. He's also isolated himself from everypony, including his friends. Something is troubling him and it's up to Princess Luna to find out the source of his misery.

"Hello Phumblr, my name is Graceful Thread, I am... well... a spidermare. My friend Lemon Hearts said I should try to socialize more, but since most ponies don't like it when I walk outside my home in broad daylight, I thought I might try social media. After all everypony else is doing it."

"Don't worry, there is no such thing as stupid questions. Wrong questions, yes. Questions that might result in me wrapping you in my webs and injecting you with my venom, yes. Stupid questions, nah!"

Think of this as kind of like one of those Ask Tumblr pages, except Graceful Threads will answer them in intervals (as it would be silly to have a chapter for each question).

There is nothing wrong with being goofy, but please do try to submit some serious questions too. It should be noted that I would like to keep this story as safe for work (SFW) as possible, and I am sure that Graceful Threads would agree.

Also do note that this story takes place during season 5.

Chapter 1, 2 and 3 were proofread by: Boop-Happy Lass.

Well, in case it must be said, I did create the lovely artwork that serves as the cover art for this story.

Also Graceful Thread is my OC, so no stealing.

More tags will be added as the story is released.

Also if you're going to down vote my story, at least have the decency to tell me why.

The shadows. They speak to you, promising all you desire. You need only listen...
