A snapshot. A moment captured in time, preserved forever. Relationships have many such moments, from the first kiss to waking up together. Twilight and Dash get to share a few.

My place to write various, non-directly connected pieces focusing on all parts of a relationship.

Unedited

I had a real name once. Don't remember it much anymore. Not surprising as it's been a few thousand years since I last used it. Now I go by the name Booker... or Pagey... or Mr. Wordsworth... or whatever name some adorable pony has graced me with and I'm too much of a doormat to say no. Dang it, Star Swirl, did you cast some spell on your descendants or something?

So yeah, I'm one of the latest victims of the Merchant. Really should have known better when I was offered that delectable limited-edition Touhou fanbook by some guy who looked like he was ripped from a Stephen King novel, but I'm too much of a bibliophile to pass something like that up, you know? Now I'm stuck in what should be a children's cartoon show with powers that no mortal being should have and enough baggage to choke a hydra.

At least I have my books, even if I do have to beat them into submission occasionally.

This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight Sparkle's 505th Birthday

Smarty Pants, Honeycrisp, and Sandy find themselves stuck in the salad days of Equestria, four hundred and eighty years in the past. Can they get back without screwing up everything?

Probably not.

This story is a direct continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 505th Birthday, which is itself a continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th Birthday. To really get a grasp on what’s going on you should give both of those a read in the right order. You can skip them if you'd like but... Oh boy, will you have questions.

Notes:
- Cover art commissioned by HAK2. Check out his other stuff, too.
- This is a story in the Birthdayverse.
- Many thanks to my faithful Pre-Reader and all around super-duper best pony, Blood Lord go read his story, too!
- And thanks to the newest pre-reader to join in the craziness, Razalon The Lizardman. Keeper of the mighty Em dash! Go read his stuff, too!
- Dedicated to my wife. Her love keeps me going and her snark keeps me smiling.

As always, please leave comments and critiques.

This story is a sequel to Scion of Chaos

Five years after the summer in which the three had gotten their cutie marks, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, now young mares in their own right, decide to go on a quick summer vacation, all as an attempt by Sweetie Belle to cheer up a sad friend. However, the trip turns out to be more than they had anticipated.

Set five years after Scion of Chaos and An Emerald Treasure. For the sake of context I'd recommend reading both of those first.

Special thanks to Mac349 and Plebeian for proofreading. Thanks to CMC4TW for editing/idea-mulling.

A vengeful demon steals Starswirl the Bearded from his pleasant afterlife and shoves his spirit in a book.

Starswirl is secretly elated by this.

Not so much once he meets the pony he'll be staying with for the indefinite future.

For the longest time, Epona has served as the loyal mount of Link, hero of Hyrule. But one day, she finds out that she's actually from a world inhabited by intelligent, colorful equines. And not only that: Her daughter is one of the six main heroes from that world. But that is only the beginning.

When the worlds of Equestria and Hyrule get into contact after a millennium, lots of hidden conspiracies are revealed. Evil fiends from a time long forgotten emerge and some ponies begin to understand their powers as sages. But the one important question will be: What will Epona choose? Her friends from Hyrule? Or her family from Equestria?

Cassie Quattor has convinced herself that she was dreaming when she thought she met a unicorn at a young age. But everything changes when she runs away from the torment and finds herself in Equestria. With the help of a pegasus called Raindrops, a unicorn called Sparkler and an earth pony named Bon Bon, she must find the mane six, her special unicorn and her real self, before it's too late.

All Fleur wanted was to have some peace and quiet and get away from the constant barrage of nosy questions from Equestria's tabloid press.

Hoping to find what she is looking for she travels to Ponyville to meet some old friends. Will she find what she is looking for or will the press find her instead?

Cover Image was hastily assembled by myself using some pictures found via google.
A teen rating because of...well....Lyra basically.

The story will be released as a few smaller chapters at a time for easier reading.
Enjoy.

Harmony comes home to see Tempora pacing around his house. Concerned, he asks what is on her mind. It's your father, she replies, something is wrong...

If you've somehow stumbled upon this without reading the main fic, it's best if you get it from HERE. This side-story is not standalone, it is highly recommended to read the main fiction to get what is going on. I don't usually publish fics unless they are completely original but for some of my readers this makes it easier. Sorry if the other method got too inconvenient.
