Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
Yet stranger still is,
Lost Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou unsung as tears unshed,
Must dry and die in,
Lost Carcosa.

"In The Precocious Princeling's Guide to Diplomatic Relations, there are three rules for how a royal ought to conduct himself abroad.

1. A diplomat of Equestria must obey all local laws of the nation they are assigned to.
2. A diplomat of Equestria should advocate for the interests of Equestria to the best of their abilities.
3. Under no circumstance should a diplomat of Equestria get involved in the following: Political parties, popular uprisings, peasant revolutions, class solidarity movements, coups d'etat, or other attempts at regime change, violent or otherwise.

By the time I had finished my tenure in Saddle Arabia, I had broken all three."
-Prince Blueblood, First of His Name

Since the acquisition of the Memory Stone, Wallflower Blush has become more and more forgotten by the students around her. Luckily, she gets the opportunity to become a “fairy” to whom anyone can talk about anything and be sure that the conversation will be forgotten.

To Wallflower, this is a perfect world. The garden and its fairy are her everything. If she has her way, this will stay forever.

But the world disagrees.

Usually, the more skilled one becomes, the more the audience gets amazed.

However, for Trixie it doesn‘t apply. But why? No one knows how she does her tricks, so why are they not in awe of her? Is it because of her lack of real magic?

No, it wasn‘t, even if it‘s easy to blame it on it.

Thanks a lot for ChudoJogurt for proofreading it!

After months of anticipation and fear, the war with Gryphos has finally reached Ponyville, shattering the fragile peace. Scootaloo and the other Crusaders, now separated from their families in the chaos, have holed up in the Golden Oak Library, hoping to ride out the war until it passes.
But they aren't soldiers; they're just kids, with few survival skills to speak of and who barely know how to defend themselves. With bandits and looters roaming the streets and no end to the fighting in sight, the constant struggle to survive becomes desperate as each day demands ever more from the inexperienced fillies and their dwindling supplies.
What will they do when their food runs out? Will the shells ever stop falling? And what deeds will they be forced to commit if it means they can survive just one more day?

Written for the More Most Dangerous Game contest, prompt #5: "In an Equestria devastated by an apocalyptic war, the few that remain try their best to survive or rebuild—however they can."

Also written in a single day, and it shows. You have been warned.

Artwork: "Out of the Ashes, a New Story To Be Told" by Huussii, and "Cutie Mark Crusaders Adventure" by aruurara.

Loosely inspired by the basic concept of "This War of Mine," a simulation game that depicts civilian life in a warzone. It shares no story, character, setting, or plot details, and is thus not a crossover.

Not too long after the events of Forgotten Friendship, Sunset Shimmer decides to pay a visit to Equestria. Being the good friend that she is, Twilight realizes that Sunset still have doubts about her past actions that are yet to be snuffed out. With the support from Twilight and Starlight, Sunset realizes that the present is the best time to make more memories rather than to dwell on what has passed.

Equestria is beset by monsters. Terrible threats to ponies lurk in every corner of the nation, and it's up to the Crown to lock them away. Princess Celestia can't respond to every incident, and so she created a special task force - SMILE.

SMILE (Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria) exists as an open secret within the highest reaches of power. Currently led by the recently appointed Lieutenant Shining Armor, they find themselves embroiled in a sweet and sour conspiracy that threatens the entire country!

Or at least it's going to ruin a lot of birthday parties.
