This story is a sequel to Hope and the Horizon

Hitch Trailblazer’s family has always been important to Maretime Bay. Their lineage goes back to the founding of the town. And now, with the sheriff’s badge pinned to his shoulder strap, all the weight of that legacy is coming down on him. He has a lot to live up to. But he’ll be okay.

Elsewhere, distant, Celestia watches and ruminates on her choices.

More than one dawn will happen in Equestria today.

[09/23 - 9/24] Briefly featured. Thanks, all--and happy G5!

This story is a sequel to To Be a Princess

It’s a wide world out there, and Zipp Storm wants to see it all. Too bad she spends most of her time locked up in a castle. The burdens of royalty and popularity don’t sit well on her shoulders—not like they do on her sister’s, at any rate. Her passions and destiny lie outside the walls of the castle or the streets of Zephyr Heights.

So what if she has to sneak out without getting caught? By this point, she’s pretty good at it.

Flurry Heart has found a kindred spirit.

09/02 - 9/03 - Despite the controversy in the comments (or perhaps because of it), featured. Thank you, though given the feedback so far I think this is far from my best work.

This story is a sequel to The Dreamer and Me

Princess Pipp Petals lives in a castle on a mountain on top of the world. She has everything she wants (except a working pair of wings). Yet as she looks down over Zephyr Heights and to the lowlands of Equestria below, she cannot help but feel dissatisfied. What is it that she is missing? She who has everything money can buy and a family that does not want for success?

Cadance has seen her type before.

Sunny believed the tales. Really believed, in a way that most ponies didn't anymore. About the Elements of Harmony, and about Twilight Sparkle. Back when Equestria had princesses, and was whole, when every creature knew the real power of Friendship. She believed⁠—and she knew that, one day, if she believed hard enough, it could be again.

Elsewhere, distant, Twilight Sparkle watches her would-be student, and frets.

This story is a sequel to Your Faithful Disciple

Izzy Moonbow has always been a dreamer. Her imagination is boundless, and her energy bottomless. Most of her family and friends have learned to take what she says with a grain of salt. So when Izzy starts talking about her dream of the mare with the mane made of stardust, most everypony goes on with their lives. Magical manes? Alicorn princesses? Myths; relics of bygone history. 

But Izzy knows that Luna is real. And Luna has a dream…

This story is a sequel to The Dragon of the Ruins

Spike didn't have much to say about his life. Not after a thousand years.

Not after centuries of loneliness.

But maybe, just maybe, these new ponies who've stumbled into his life can change that.

Even if only for another century.

A continuation of The Dragon of the Ruins. Prior reading is NOT necessary, though.

Russian translation by Mordaneus!

Chinese translation by forgivenlove!

Spike's seen his fair share of the world. It'd truly felt like each passing year had taken with it a little more of Twilight's sanity, until all that was left was a husk of the mare-turned-alicorn.

Twilight, in the end, couldn't comprehend the life of an immortal.

Couldn't fathom the idea of living for thousands of years.

But Spike can.

Because Spike has.

And it's destroying him.

Read the expanded version of this story!

Izzy Moonbow has always felt alone. Bridlewood was quiet, and its people quieter still.

Then one day, she comes across a moonlit garden, hidden deep amongst the trees. Its caretaker is a strange mare who speaks of the days of old when friends were plentiful and the nights were beautiful.

Her name is Luna.
