This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Library

It's easy to think about fairytales when you’re an ancient alicorn trapped in a library for centuries on end. It's easy to wonder how one would go about rescuing you, to think and devise and plot out how to free you in a blaze of glory, intrigue, adventure, and romance.

Or, rather, it’s easy until suddenly it happens and you’re forced to ask yourself the one terrifying question you’d yet to consider.

Now what?

PATREON!
Original story inspired by an old oneshot.

How intense is Dash? Death has near-Rainbow experiences. Very near.

But there are rules.

Crossover with Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Inspired by Andy Price's sketchbook.

Every night, Twilight Sparkle sleepwalks to the shore of a river in the Everfree. She knows she needs to get to the opposite side, but flying, teleporting, and canoeing have all failed. When Zecora finds her there one night, she offers to train her in Zebrican magic to get her across.

Together, Twilight and Zecora discover themselves and each other. And as their relationship deepens, the river beckons to Twilight ever more, calling to her flesh, destiny pulling at the marrow.

This is a story of coming-of-age for alicorns, of discovering love even as life seems to dissolve into the air around you, of making peace with your purpose and rebuilding confidence; a story about zebras and Equestria as a whole, about peace and exploration.

[This is a Twicora story. The perspective is experimental; "I" is Twilight Sparkle and "you" is Zecora.
The teen rating is for some language and thematic elements, one mention of masturbation, a conversation about suicide, and excessive cuddling.]

Inspired by both this and this. Source for the cover art is here.

When flying into Denver International Airport, there are many things that greet you as a welcome to Denver: the marbled purple and white peaks of the Rocky Mountains rising up from the western horizon, the iconic white fabric canopy that covers the main terminal like a huge tent, the crisp, clean air that can leave you short of breath if you aren’t used to the altitude.

But as you leave the airport and head west toward Denver, you get another welcome to Colorado in the form of a statue of a giant blue mustang.  Rearing up on his hind hooves, the 32 foot tall statue is a signature welcome to any visitor to the Mile High City. His glowing red eyes might seem sinister, but he is the standout piece of a great effort to bring public art and Colorado symbolism to Denver International Airport and Denver as a whole.

We call him Blucifer.

But unbeknownst to many, Blucifer is not the only blue horse that can be seen around Denver International Airport.  There is another horse, much smaller, measuring only five feet to the top of her head. She is not as fearsome as Blucifer, but she has many qualities that Blucifer does not possess.  She is fearless, devoted, and is willing to do anything to her job of keeping the skies around DIA safe for travelers.

Oh, and this little pony can fly faster than almost any commercial airliner.

Her name is Rainbow Dash, and she is DIA’s weather caretaker and in-air air traffic control assistant.

A reporter from The Canterlotter magazine tries to find the true Twilight Sparkle when she comes home to Canterlot after fighting for a return of harmony. This is the resulting article and accompanying artwork. It paints a picture of a Twilight Sparkle few have seen.

For the sake of the FimFiction terms of publication, this is a work of original prose fiction and qualifies as a story. It slots into the Enforcerverse but is completely standalone. The events take place immediately after the closing scene in The Return of Harmony - Part 2.

When magic goes wrong, it can have disastrous results. For example, you might end up with two fillies when you only expected one.

An episodic tale about motherhood, two diverging lives, and reckless use of incredibly powerful magic by everypony involved.

Teen rating for more blood in one or two later chapters than they'd allow on the show. Better safe than sorry.

When Twilight pays her CHS friends a visit on Hearts and Hooves Day, she expects to learn a bit more about their strange world and it's rituals. She did not expect to find out just how much her friends actually think about her. Sex tag is for raunchy language and mild suggestiveness.

Applejack asks Sunset if she ever misses an aspect of her home. Specifically, one aspect that can possibly be filled in a big way this side of the portal.

Princess Celestia requests Twilight to join her in her throne room on the day before Hearth's Warming. The young unicorn is unsure what her mentor would need her for on the holiday, but rushes to her side anyways. When she arrives, it turns out Celestia has a very special gift to give her most favored student. A gift as wonderful as the holiday itself. But is there more going on than what Twilight believes?

In many ways, Bon-Bon and Lyra consider themselves to be exceptionally lucky ponies: after all, they have each other. They also have a place in Ponyville's society, paying careers, and regularly-scheduled days during which they both actively consider divorce as a prelude to wildly galloping through what would ideally become the smoking ruins of the former society. Because when you own a candy shop, it's never the holiday. It's the day after.

And when a married couple has been avoiding a discussion about something real, it's everything.
