Why do ponies dream? Why do we all seem to dream the same dreams?

What if we started to dream new things?

Discord said he wanted to make our dreams more interesting. Add some spice to our boring nocturnal lives. Nothing dangerous – just a bit of excitement to talk about in the mornings.

"Stop worrying so much, Twilight Sparkle," he said. "After all, dreams never hurt anypony."

How I wish he’d been right.

Celestia searches a ruined city for supplies after the end of the world.

Hello my friend. It's good to see you. Come in, come in, sit and let us chat. Time for me is very short and there is something I must confess. Sit and listen, one final tale before I depart the world; a tale of revenge.

Now with two audio readings by CreepyPastaSalad & Akash Thereader))

Vinyl is in a tough spot. She's behind on rent, and Octavia is not going to pay for her, again. What makes matters even worse is she's doubled booked herself to play at two popular clubs. She has no way of meeting all her obligations. Not unless there were two of her.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but what happens when Vinyl actually gets to the mirror pool, and will she find what she think she will, or something very different?

After years of occult and magical studies, sifting through tomes of arcane lore and obscure history and myth, Twilight Sparkle arrives at a conclusion to her journey: an ancient, reconstructed ritual to try and penetrate the veil between her and the ultimate truths of the universe. Proposed background story fic for a picture by Equestria-Prevails

Equestria is dying.
Nightmare Moon has been fighting in vain to try and preserve what little remains of the kingdom that she helped create.
She knows that it's a losing battle, but still she fights on.
Ironically enough, it was her own jealousy of Celestia that tore Equestria apart in the first place. Battle weary and mentally drained, she silently reflects on her past mistakes.

This is the moment that she has been waiting years for.

After all this time, Equestria's new ruler pays a visit to her most valuable prisoner to fully map out her failure. Years of deception, manipulation, and betrayals have led to this one moment, and she intends to savor every look that crosses the Princess of Friendship's face.

And after, when the alicorn truly understands how perfectly she was played, there will still be one final bit of business that needs to be settled...

My first new story since October 2017, and Day One of the Seventh Anniversary Story Bomb.

Twilight Sparkle failed her entrance exam, and the consequences were far more deadly than anypony could've predicted.

Where many ponies would see this as a terrible tragedy, a creature only spoken of in the darkest of legends sees the poor filly's fate as an opportunity...
