Celestia has had many students through her long history. One of these was a mare with an interest in archaeology; her name was Daring Do.

These are some of the letters they exchanged.

Discord, with the help of a pegasus, attempts to fill in a form designed by someone who never expected a near-immortal Dragonequus to try to fill it in.

A short one-shot, written for the Equestria Daily writer's training grounds.

Now with a dramatic reading by DRWolf!

How would a being like Discord want to be remembered after he's gone? Well, if you're curious, he did actually write a will. To the surprise of nobody, its contents are bizarre and mildly disturbing.

Part of the Borderworld.

Now with audio readings by NDLMongoose and MelancholyIguana.

Following a most unpleasant encounter at one of Canterlot's great parties, Prince Blueblood decides that he is tired of everyone thinking that he is a lazy, empty-headed ponce. He decides the only solution is to have a grand adventure and reinvent himself, becoming the good, dignified, heroic Prince that everypony expects him to be.

The only problem is he's a lazy, empty-headed ponce.

Discord has a problem. He has a tendency to not think through his actions all that well, poor impulse control, and no ability to figure out how others will feel about what he does. Even with a friend helping him, sooner or later he's going to do something that'll get him stoned or hit with a reforming spell or whatnot. So what's he to do? Ask the smartest pony in Equestria for a solution, of course!

He probably wasn't expecting to get "Have Celestia let you rule Equestria again" for a response.

No one else was probably expecting to enjoy it.

Now with a reading by Crafty Arts!
And a Spanish translation!

A thousand years ago, after learning the magic of friendship, Scorpan betrayed his evil brother, Lord Tirek, to protect his new found friends and to keep peace across the land of Equestria. To protect the innocent, make new friends, and imprison his brother...would become Scorpan's biggest mistake.

He now rules his kingdom and has brought peace to all that he's been associated too. But as the lives of his old friends pass on and his actions become old and forgotten stories, one thing still lingers on his mind: How much he misses his brother. it's a pain that only he can understand. Because of this, he no longer knows if he made the right choice all those years ago.

In the catacombs of the underworld, a plan is unfolding. One that will leave one brother imprisoned for his crimes. But there is something about walking away free that doesn't seem right to Scorpan.

Expanded entry to The Writeoff Association's August 2014 Minific Event.
The prompt was "Famous Last Words".

Why was Tirek able to escape from Tartarus despite his weakened state? Perhaps it's because that was the plan all along.

After Tirek had been defeated by Twilight Sparkle and her friends, he was stripped of all the magic that he had stolen from everypony and sent back to Tartarus to be imprisoned.

Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. Months turned to years. Years turned to centuries.

However, even after all that time, Tirek is still alive. He lies defeated and broken, yet he still refuses to give in.
His hatred for her will not allow himself to surrender to his fate and let that purple alicorn win. So he continues on, driven, his anger his only anchor against the darkness and solitude of his imprisonment.

It seems like Tirek is locked in more than one cage.

A story written as a series of 100 word drabbles. When Tirek took Twilight's magic, he also took something else this is that event, and the aftermath. AU ending to the season 4 finale. Rated T for carefully worded character death.

Just in case anyone is confused (and because I could only add 5 character tags) Other characters involved are Shining Armor, Twilight's Parents, and Spike.
