This story is a sequel to Cape and Cowl III: Showdown

The Solar Scepter. An artifact shared between the Princesses, over a thousand years ago, when they ruled together. After the Nightmare Moon incident, Princess Celestia had it locked away deep beneath Canterlot Castle, pained by the memory of her sister but hopeful they could share it once again.

That time has come. With Princess Luna's return, Celestia has once again revealed the Solar Scepter, and is now touring across Equestria with it, with Luna by her side.

Their next stop is Manehattan, where a particularly pesky pair of pilfers set their sights on the artifact. Can the Manehattan Guard, along with the Mare do Well, protect this priceless piece of history? Or will these two thieves pull off the greatest heist in Equestria's history?

A day in the life, and a glimpse into the mind, of Ponyville's favorite mail carrier and single mom. But if she had the choice of any one day for everyone to read about, it probably wouldn't be this one...

Daybreaker: the monster in Celestia's heart, and the age-long mystery of her life. Her friend and tormentor, her companion and foe. Fanatically devoted to their future, yet desiring one horrific to Celestia.

It is growing stronger.

Applejack struggles with overcoming loss and heartache, until Fluttershy shares an important conversation with her.

Angel Bunny knows he's bad for Fluttershy, and he knows that she's bad for him. But how can he leave her?

This has been expanded from its entry in The Writeoff Association's October 2014 contest, "Just Over the Horizon."

It's been six months since Tirek was defeated, but Trixie still has nightmares. Nightmares of being pinned down, of the magic being ripped from her bones, of being thrown around like a worthless doll. It's been six months since Trixie has had a full night's sleep, and all she wants is peace.

But Trixie is fine. Trixie doesn't need Twilight. She doesn't need her family. She doesn't need anyone. Trixie loves being alone.

So why can't she stop crying?

Fluttershy's friends might call the gentle pegasus sensitive. But they don't know the half of it.

What is she always so afraid of, anyway?

And why is SHE the one pony who can go toe-to-toe with the Avatar of Chaos himself?

(Is this an AU? If it is, it's one that resembles canon a lot.)

She wishes things were easier. But wishing doesn't change reality, no matter how much she might hope otherwise.

CW: Dark thoughts, idle pondering about death.

The sensation has plagued her ever since she was a little girl.

It never goes away.

It hurts.

But most of all...

It burns.

This story is a sequel to Chasing Metaphors

Iridessa felt no guilt or remorse. She was entitled to take the body of this foolish pegasus who would dare disgrace her honor and shame her before her kind, and that was that.

If only she knew exactly who this pegasus was, and what entity she served. The Tree of Harmony knows what Iridessa did, and it is not happy.
