After the most important night of her career is ruined and its saboteurs not even so much as punished, Octavia's life changes. She begins to pursue a path that has never been seen before in Canterlot, where concertos and rhapsodies give way to controversy and rebellion.

A path where symphonies are composed with cans of spray paint.

"Here you are in Canterlot / It's the place you always dreamed about / It's exactly what you have wanted"

Octavia has lived among and performed for the highest class of ponies for years, and never once questioned her way of living or life choices. But when a fateful afternoon reignites an old memory, she finds herself realizing that she's been missing something: a friend. Now lost and desperate, she can only hope the pony she removed from her life will be willing to hear from her again.

"Regret, Regret / Why did I forget about her for so long?"

Inspired by lyrics from The Living Tombstone's "Ocatvia's Overture" and

This story is a sequel to Ponies Protecting Ponies

We are Ponies Protecting Ponies, a secret organization founded by Princess Celestia for the good of all of Equestria's citizens. Whether it's running protection, disaster prevention, or a terrorist threat, one of our agents is on hoof. We do what we must to give our friends and family their peace of mind. We blend into the background, just like any other pony. Watching. Protecting.

Watching Ponyville and guarding Twilight Sparkle from harm has not been easy, but the town's PPP agents have done their duty admirably. When Sparkle departs for the annual Grand Galloping Gala, some of Ponyville's agents follow suit to find that all is not well at the social event. Murmurings of a heretical sect reach the keen ears of our agents, and an investigation is held post-haste. Let it be known that our organization does not believe in any "Spirit of Chaos". Not officially. True or not, possible terrorist activity does demand a response.

About two years after Chrysalis's failed attempt at taking over Canterlot, Chrysalis gets captured by the Royal Guard for attempting to attack Equestria once again. She gets sentenced to life in solitary confinement in the lowest depths of the Canterlot Dungeon. After a year of wishing for revenge, Chrysalis grows tired and begins to question her motives.

She comes to the realization that all she needed was to earn everyone's respect and love, rather than force it. However, she learned her lesson too late, and must endure the last moments of her seemingly futile existence.. with only a small glimmer of hope left to keep her alive.. and a chance to make a friend.

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...

Warning: spoilers!

Tempest Shadow aka Fizzlepop Berrytwist has committed quite a few crimes during her time as the Storm King's lieutenant: high treason, slavery, kidnapping, use of forbidden magic conspiracy to overthrow the government, etc.

Now, after her trial, Tempest is locked away in the castle, waiting for the Princesses and the Council to deliver their verdict...

This story is a sequel to Spike, Trixie, And A Couple More Holes

After her rather embarrassing accident with an improvised shrinking spell, Trixie decides to make herself scarce for a while. When she returns to Ponyville, everything has changed--the library is gone, and Twilight Sparkle has a brand new giant tree castle.

Determined to pursue the secrets of becoming an alicorn princess, Trixie moves into Twilight's castle, where she routinely engages in--and usually causes--wacky hijinks for herself, Princess Twilight, and especially Spike.

Can Spike survive Trixie's attempts to learn the magic of friendship?

A story which intersects (and occasionally will supercede) the events of season five.

(Note: This is NOT a crossover with any CLAMP property, or anything else for that matter.)
