If Starswirl the Bearded mentored Clover the Clever sometime before the events of "Hearth's Warming Eve" and mentored the Royal Pony Sisters sometime after, where was he during the coming together of the tribes and the founding of Equestria?

All griffon cubs learn of the history of their kind while still fledglings: Tales of ancient kingdoms ruled by noble kings. One tale, however, has passed beyond mere history and has entered the realm of myth. A tale of the redemption of the Griffon race, and their recommitment to unity and friendship.

Pinkamina battles Death incarnate, trying to prevent the deaths of others using the cryptic powers of the Pinkie Sense. Meanwhile the Royal Sisters frown upon her messing with the fabrics of fate, and her stallion Lickity Split has been eyeing the wedding bells lately. Who is under Death's hood?

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

Events take place a short time after the Crystal Empire's return (early S3).

"When I die, nopony will say ‘it’s a shame’ or ‘I’ll miss her’. They’ll say ‘good riddance’

But even so, at least they know who I am. What really scares me is that when I die, nopony will remember me at all. I’m just a nameless face. An unmarked grave. At my funeral, will anypony cry?"

When Trixie takes her own life, she sends her final letter to the closest thing she's ever had to a friend.

[Author's Note: I'm sorry the description is so darn terrible. They're harder to write than the story! Thanks to Princess-Glitzy for figuring out whom the cover art belongs to!]

19/3/14 - Oooh! I see myself on the popular stories list! It may not be very high up, but yay! EDIT: Eeek! It made third place! Oh my gosh! You guys! It made first place on the Popular Stories list. Not sure that will last long, but hooray! Yes, I know it has no real significance!

20/3/14 - Oh my goodness! I feel like I'm accepting an Oscar or something. It was such a wonderful surprise to log on and see people congratulating me on getting featured, even if I did miss its time in the spotlight. This is an honour I never thought I'd have the privilege to accept.

The Alicorn Amulet brought great power, but the price was greater than Trixie imagined. Now Twilight must learn why Trixie travels in order to save her.

Written for the EQD flash fic event.

"I love you, Trixie."

I love you too dad.

Ever since dad died, things have been different. All I want is for my mother to be proud of me. Maybe then she'll stop treating me like I'm nothing.

Maybe then she'll love me.

Over the years, it's become apparent that I am nothing but a puppet to her. So I put on a smile, straighten my hat, and do what my mom always wanted me to do.

To be the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Contains fairly mild grim-dark. Inspiration taken from the Dark Souls games, but it's not strictly a crossover.
Chapters titled "Arc #: Chapter Name" are part of the main story. Chapters titled "Character: Chapter Name" are one-shots about other characters, set in the same world, and aren't necessary in order to follow the main story.

A masked stallion aids the poor and funds the education of needy foals.
Under the mask is Prince Blueblood, who has sworn an oath to never be recognized.
Twilight Sparkle BURNS to know who the Mysterious "Wayfinder" is.

In all his years of running his own shop, Doughnut Joe has seen thousands of ponies. Some he knew, most he didn't, and many he would never see again. But he never minded that, for he always had his regulars.
