The thunder listens.

Written for a Quills and Sofas Speedwriting panic. The prompt was something to do with lightning. I can’t really remember to be honest. It was a year ago! Thought I should polish it up a little bit and get it out there.

Thanks to Snow Quill, Sunlight Rays, and Vis-a-Viscera for proof-reading during the initial contest :)

For nearly one thousand years, the ponies of Equestria had a legend. A legend of a creature who resided in the abandoned Castle of the Two Sisters. An immortal being, one who had near omnipotent powers, but who only appeared in the Castle and its grounds at night, unable to leave. Ponies were wary of the creature, who was only known by the name Djinn, a Saddle Arabian name for a creature who could grant wishes to anypony who was brave enough to approach. This Djinn was unlike any creature known to the world, mostly because nopony who’d ever ventured to the Castle to ask for a wish never could remember what it looked like.

After a death in Ponyville of one mare who attempted to have her wish granted, Princess Celestia herself intervenes and visits her old castle to meet with the Djinn in pony, but is confused by what she finds...

For as long as anypony who knows them can remember, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have been the best of friends. Where one can be found, the other is surely nearby. But theirs is a friendship deeper than anypony can possibly understand, and it was born of several crucial moments in their lives together. These are the stories of those moments.

Note: This story is a side project, and will update VERY slowly. I might get a chapter every other month, but I can't say for sure. It's a sidequel to NLL and TMUP, and takes a backseat to updates on both of those stories. Cover image by MacTavish1996.

The rents almost due and Anonymous the human is in need of some fast cash, so a friend recommends the illustrious Spoon family as an option to look into. And that option turns out to be watching over the only daughter to the wealthy family: Silver. And Silver Spoon is more than a little haughty...

A filly waits in a small white room. Waiting for her friends to visit. "Hi! I'm Silver Spoon and I'm the Perfect Patient! What medical symptoms would you like to treat today?"

Winner of the Magic Fades and Science Grows contest on Quills and Sofas.

TW for lots of gore and emotionally cruel treatment of a child. Read with care, and if emotional child abuse is something you've experienced perhaps steer clear of this one. I think my initial trigger warning wasn't extensive enough, so apologies if anyone was disturbed by the content. This is a grimdark look at sentience, souls, and the way people/ponies treat things they perceive to be inhuman.

Twilight's had enough to deal with being the newly crowned Princess of Friendship.
However, when someone returns from Equestria's distant past, things begin to turn a bit unusual.
Now she has to deal with this strange mage that has been calling the library home for far longer than she has.
Who exactly is he, and why is he returning now?

Bored at the recent lack of adventure in her life, Rainbow Dash goes flying off to find some.

Now the cold north far beyond the borders of Equestria and everything it holds awaits her. Ancient societies unknown to Equestria, monsters, heroes and villains alike, excitement, conflict, danger, glory, Rainbow Dash seeks out all of these to find herself the greatest adventure of her life. A pegasus with greater determination and willpower than any other, she’ll never back down no matter what she faces.

Castling is a special move in chess involving one of the player’s rooks and the player’s king. The move consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook on the player's first rank, then moving the rook to the square over which the king crossed. After this move, the king and the rook end up just next to one another.

And thanks to a friend’s kindness, a certain calculating, chess master filly would have a chance to end up closer to her princess than she ever thought. But can a filly like her truly leave her past behind to find another way? Can you learn to trust another when manipulation is your destiny?
Can a chess player like Cozy Glow learn to be a pawn?
