Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.

Twilight Sparkle is a student at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. She loves to learn all she can about magic and the world that surrounds her. But lately... something strange has been happening. It may be nothing. It may just be a product of her imagination, or the heavy stress she's been under since her studies started.

There's no way she just heard a voice in the dark.


Written for The Writeoff Association's latest event: "Forbidden Knowledge".

Celestia discovers a lingering trace of Nightmare Moon's soul still lodged in Twilight's mind—a survivor of the lingering effects of the Element's magic.

Faced with the threat of gradually losing her friend to Nightmare Moon's evil influence, Celestia realizes the only way to save Twilight is to let the storm of dark magic take its course all at once.

And yet, as Nightmare Moon's corrupting magic tears away at Twilight's forgiveness and understanding, and Twilight begins dredging up unexpressed doubts once kept controlled, Celestia must face a lifetime of confrontation her student has kept covered.

It is going to be a long night for both alicorns.

Wonderful title isn't it?
Capture the Country, Marry the Princess, Take over the world.
Sounds like an Adventure story doesn't it?

They're all so easy to avoid.
That's why I work to rule.

This story takes place during the Season Five finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark". As such, there are spoilers ahead.


Starlight Glimmer's plan is working. All she has to do is upset Rainbow Dash's rainboom-creating race in the past, and Twilight Sparkle's connection with her friends will be severed. And she's done it. Repeatedly. Sure, Twilight can go back in time to try and stop her, but Starlight will always be brought back as well. No matter what Twilight tries, no matter how many times she returns, she can't stop Starlight. They're evenly-matched, and it's much easier to disrupt events than it is to preserve them.

That means Starlight wins, right?

Shortly after "Keep Calm and Flutter On", Discord has conversations with several of the Mane 6, and other characters. They do not necessarily go all that well. Character tags will be added as I add sections. Chapter descriptions will be added here as I start writing new pieces, not necessarily after I upload them. Takes place in the same continuity as "Last Draconequus", "Princess Twilight Sparkle Endcaps" and "Elements of Opposition".

"Mutually Assured Embarrassment" - Not a clopfic, but mature subject matter. Twilight has an erotic nightmare (not shown) about Discord raping her. Discord watches it and then shows up to inform her how offended he is that her subconscious mind thinks he's pathetic enough to rape ponies. Twilight wants to die of humiliation, but only after killing Discord several times.

"All Apologies" - Discord takes Pinkie to dinner to apologize to her for what he did to her in the labyrinth. It goes well, until it doesn't.

Now with a Progress Bar!
