This story is a sequel to Never The Final Word (Vol. 1)

As with its predecessor, this is an open anthology of minifics which continue or revisit other authors' fanfics—embracing and extending, and reflecting on questions raised by the work. Due to the nature of the collection, this contains spoilers for other authors' stories, though each chapter contains a link to let you read the source first (and a spoilered summary, if you want to jump right in.)
Note that spoilers in author's notes do not currently work. As such, using the Light color scheme is strongly recommended to keep the source spoilers unseen by those who wish to avoid them.

And remember, if you find a comment fic somewhere on the site, submissions via DM are always open!

How do you tell a child that she will never be enough?

Trixie Lulamoon has more reasons than most ponies to resent impossible magics.

But it's nothing else anypony else has to know.

Especially not that pesky Twilight Sparkle.

There is a reading by ObabScribbler which you can check out here! Set sometime after Season Three's episode 'Magic Duel'. Given a spoiler-filled review and recommendation by PresentPerfect. However, it occurs shortly after 'Magical Mystery Cure'. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

Sunset Shimmer struggles with keeping a regular diary. She seems to have trouble with a lot of things related to life in Canterlot, but that can't be right. Canterlot was supposed to be the fairy tale life and dream come true for the aspiring archmage.

Perfection be damned, as long as Sunset doesn't fall short, that's what matters. She is the Faithful Student and the shining light of the castle. What she is not is a failure.

At least Princess Celestia will always be there for her.

Won’t she?

This story is a sequel to Halfway Mare

Fillydelphia has a problem – and a particularly troubling one. Normally, this wouldn't concern a Manehattan mare like Coco Pommel. After all, Manehattan has problems too.

Most problems don't cost Coco Pommel friends, though.

Cover art is a combo of 830186 and 1958795 on Derpibooru. Both have been edited by me. Edited by Pascoite.

Banishment by the power of the two sisters was supposed to be an agonizing experience. No ordinary mortal mind should have lingered on as the years passed. Anypony should have succumbed to the extraphysical nature of the kind of prison Sombra found himself in and found themselves reduced to pure instinct.

Sombra was no ordinary mortal, and he had all time he would need to plan revenge.

Only eternity awaits him.

An older piece I had lying around and now polished and prodded into being a standalone story and a sort-of side tale to Spare Him His Life. Preread into being a thing by the great Cynewulf. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

One autumn evening, Raven finds Princess Celestia sound asleep in the middle of her work. Wanting to lend a helping hoof, Raven takes the time to make sure the snoozing mare is more comfortable.

A plain fluffy companion piece to So Maybe. No knowledge of that story is needed to enjoy this one, but they are related. Now available in Russian here and here thanks to the work of NovemberDragon, Randy1974, and Nuclear-Pony-Jack. Buy this story! Contribute to the TVTropes page!

Tomorrow, Cadance will turn six hundred and forty eight. It's been a tough few years, but who doesn't look forward to their own birthday?

One thing is for certain: it will be an unforgettable night.

Author's note: Even though Sunny is crying in the picture this isn't a super-sad story. You shouldn't need any tissues. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

This story is a sequel to The Care and Keeping of Hidden Castles

A short anthology of Luna & Sombra stories.

A series of multi-genre romance short stories, one shots, and drabbles, collected here for easier reading. Rated T for snarkiness and such. Context with the first story, at the least, is to be expected, seeing that this is marked as sequel. Stories are related, but have no strict chronological order. While marked as complete, expect updates whenever I feel like it. Chapters marked with ‘Q’ have queer themes. Some stories were previously published in Missing Pages & Scrawled Footnotes.
