In a sudden, vicious fit of motivation and positivity, Cherax challenges herself to write a one-shot every week for the month of September. This is that.

1: Dreams of a Life of Petty Crime - Rarity and Soul Searcher accidentally dine-and-dash.
2: The Good Kind of Crazy - Coco Pommel solves a mystery at the theatre, with relative ease.
3: No Reprise - Why invest in love when love can't even go as planned?
4: In the Space Between Somethings - Twilight sits, and waits, and worries.
5: Summer Silence - A short poem on Equestrian summer.

there is a moment

once in every pony's life

when the time comes

to shed one's baby tail

don't worry, sweetie

it won't hurt

Every night, it came to try and claim the young princess, and every night it ultimately failed. Yet, it is eternal, unknowable, unfathomable. It will never tire, and never stop.

All that changes tonight.

One final stand against it, the fate of every sentient being at stake. One guardian against incomprehensible evil. If she’s unsuccessful… no one will have a future.

Written rather quickly for my current worshop. I decided to clean it up and expand on it. It's something I had to put out before my greed got it it and it expanded beyond my grasp.

Hope you enjoy it! Like, comment, and follow.

Or don't. Up to you.

Rainbow Dash can see Daring Do, but nopony else can. With her own reality in question, Rainbow Dash is roped into a mysterious adventure where not everything is as it seems, and not everypony can be trusted.

Rainbow Dash: Famous throughout Equestria, and loved by all.

Except for Miss Harshwhinny. Critical and disapproving since the day they met. Unfazed by Dash's renown, and utterly immune to her charm.

Rainbow has never been one to back down from a challenge. She's got half a day to turn the inspector's opinion around, and discovering a shared hobby might prove to be the edge she needs.

When Gaberdine is awarded a noble title by Princess Celestia, he soon finds out that his new lands contain several surprises. For starters, there is no land in his new barony. Secondly, his new castle turns out to be a broken-down riverboat. And third is… seaponies.

Baron Gaberdine has a lot to learn about his new barony. And himself.

Fortunately, he has a very young teacher.

Now with a sea-quill (sorry) Drifting Down the Lazy River

NOTE: I wrote this before the 2020 BLM protests and my learning more about policing. I would have written it differently after, but I won't be changing it. Just keep in mind that the depiction here is of another world and another species from a different perspective.

In the City of Dreams, the City That Never Sleeps, a wistful heart walks the lonely streets, searching for answers to questions no one else is willing to ask. A reluctant pilgrim arrives from a long journey, weary but determined to make his mark. An old warhorse, his soul cracked and bleeding, saddles up for his last battle.

A noir tale set in Manehattan, fifteen years after the events of Through the Well of Pirene. Three people over the course of three nights weave and unravel a tale of anxiety, pain, and hope under the lights of the greatest city in Equestria, and the watchful gaze of a green star.

A lot can happen to a pony between the moment she rappels out the town hall window and the moment she bursts in the front door with news of the bugbear's defeat.

The original, mini-fic version of this story came in, oh, 79th or something in the August, 2015 Writeoff, "Best Laid Plans."

This story is a sequel to Smoothing the Knots

Princesses Celestia and Luna take tea under less than ideal circumstances: house arrest for psychiatric care following Luna's revelation about the her use of the Tantabus to torture herself.

Ever the thoughtful sister, Celestia tries to help Luna open up about her addiction to guilt and suffering in order to understand why Luna isn't happy now that the pain has finally left her. But Luna has a very different topic she wishes to discuss.
