This story is a sequel to Brushed Away

Despite being one of the few Gryphons living in the land of Equestria, Troius Clawston couldn't be happier with how his life has been. Along with having good friends and a stable job in Weather Patrol, Troy is happiest about his life for one reason: Canvas, the Earth Pony artist that he saved and befriended, who grew to become so much more.
However, before the two can begin their lives together, Troy has to overcome a new challenge in his life. Something he never thought he would have to face until now...

Telling his family.

Because of strong Gryphon values which look down on alternative relationships, how will Troy's family react when they discover he's not only with someone of a different species, but of the same gender? As traditions clash with taboos, how will the Gryphon handle telling his brothers and parents, while still staying with the stallion he cares about? Can he keep everyone together, or will family bonds break under pressure?

Troy is a Gryphon who moved to Equestria to pursue a new life; however, his seclusion has left him feeling unsatisfied with how his life was going. All of that changes when he becomes involved in a storm prepping job outside of Ponyville for Princess Twilight Sparkle. Before the storm, Troy finds Canvas, a badly injured Earth pony, lying on the ground near death. As time goes on and wounds start to heal, how will the Gryphon's life change as he helps the stallion struggling to regain control of his life?

I want to give a big thanks to Bad_Seed_72 for her assistance in editing and proofreading. Also, major props to JackAnarchy for the cover art.

This story is a sequel to Acceptance

The past should not be forgotten, nor should it blind us to what the future may hold. With the new change in statuesque between ponies and their new changeling neighbors, the past may be the answer to help set an understanding.
But not all is as it seems, as some parts of the past, may hold answers to things others may not wish to see.
The truth may not always be pleasant to hear, but it is necessary if you wish to know what real goes on.

You have waited... and waited... and waited a little more.
For those that know, wait no longer. For the second act has finally arrived!
No guaranties it will be better than the first act: Acceptance, but I will do what I can.
Enjoy.

A feud between two chefs ends up involving a very strange third party.

Now has a prequel in the works, called Cooking Roach.

Ponyville is seen as a quaint little town by those who live there, and for Twilight Sparkle, it has all she needs with her friends by her side. When a stranger that she is familiar with comes into town, she finds herself questioning as to what to do and how to accept a secret they have held from her since they meet.

Sometimes, friendship is tested by what your willing to see as truth or lies. But how can one trust those who live with using masks to hide both lies and truth?

A three arced story that begins slowly as partially Comedy and Slice of life and rotates more towards Adventure and Dark in later chapters.

Some school fillies have to deal with school crushes. Others with bullies. Sometimes they have to deal with both. But no filly has ever had to deal with an Evil Tyrant being bound to their shadow and have the power to control their every action. This, of course, seems to be no big deal for Sweetie Belle who seems to even enjoy the stallion's company. Though the feelings aren't mutual. The small filly reminds the old king too much of a filly he used to know... Though it's strange the only place he'd seen her before are in these strange dreams of his. Recollections of a past he can't remember.

Perhaps Sweetie Belle will awake in him that version of himself before he was a Tyrant. Before he was labeled evil. A time from when he was a father. Perhaps she will help him forgive.

The cover art was sketched by me and colored by the very talented Midnight Sonare

Sombra may have been defeated after his attempt to retake the Crystal Empire, but he was not destroyed. He still lives, and now he seeks to work his way into the mind of Princess Twilight Sparkle. As she struggles with the implications of her new immortality, she finds less comfort in the wise words of Princess Celestia, and is drawn to the dark magic of a fallen king.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon poke fun at Apple Bloom simply because she does not have her cutie mark. When an arts and crafts fair is preparing to set up in Ponyville, Applejack encourages her little sister to at least participate, but she soon succumbs to her own self-depression. Discouraged, confused, and upset from all the building up of verbal abuse, Apple Bloom one day disappears from Ponyville without a trace and it isn't long before Applejack is driven into mental insanity worrying about her. Silver Spoon betrays Diamond Tiara by confessing to Applejack the most likely cause of Apple Bloom's disappearance and quite possibly her true reason for wanting her cutie mark. And once Princess Celestia learns of Apple Bloom's problem, she decides to pay a visit to Ponyville herself to announce a very important lesson about bullying. Will Diamond Tiara finally realize the error of her ways? Or has her heart been permanently hardened by her own twisted misdeeds?

Also, we have a very special guest appearance somewhere in this story. Think you can find out who?
