This story is a sequel to A Mad Glimmer

The plan had been perfect, taking everything from Twilight Sparkle and trapping her in a no-win situation. Then Twilight showed Starlight the alleged consequences of her actions.

But there's a bit more to the story. Starlight Glimmer has paid a heavy price, but there's one more debt to call in.

After all, Discord doesn't make idle threats.

Story contains spoilers for the Season 5 finale, potentially disturbing imagery, and nuts. Story still does not contain Nikita Khrushchev or shoes.

Big Mac hates rocks. A lot. He never used to, and he's not entirely sure why he does now. Besides, what did rocks ever do to him?

A ghostly Pegasus who'd found redemption. A tortured writer saved from his own demons. A soldier drawn into a lewd position against his will. A young stallion with anxiety—and hormone—issues. An autistic foal without a cutie mark, or a care in the world. And a colt who learned, in the nick of time, that bullying can be a vicious cycle.

Six ponies, all characters exclusive to the world of the fans, gather just outside of Ponyville and discuss where their stories have taken them since being created. They talk about the perks, and the dangers, of having been made unofficial parts of the Equestrian mythos, and what being given life and place means in a harsh world. Philosophy, psychology, comparisons, and emotions are taken apart and studied, and it may all lead to the true meaning of being an original character.

A special one-shot written for my 500 followers, as well as in celebration of one full year on the site. Without you, I wouldn't have learned and done so much in this past year, and this story—and the characters in it—would not exist. Thank you all for reading.

Special thanks to the wonderful Salty Zebra for another great cover!

Twilight Sparkle is the master of her own mind. She is the Princess of Friendship. She is the fourth piece of the Alicorn Tetrarchy. She has incredible power, and she has always asserted it in a necessary and compassionate way. She has a charmed life—a wonderful set of friends, a beautiful castle in a lovely little town, and is constantly busy with her life, stretching her wings upward and outward to new horizons as often as possible.

There can be nothing wrong with her.

I've been wearing a mask. For how long i'm not certain. Someday that mask will come off. Either i'll remove it willingly or it'll fall off at the worst moment. Until then i'll just write the letters which i'll never send.

Warning: Suicidal and depressive thoughts

Lyra is an antisocial, impatient unicorn who dislikes rain, walking, and characters she deems annoying. Unfortunately for her, she will have to deal with all three of those things if she wants to make it back safely to her house.

Twilight finds happiness in a world alien and hurtful. In the arms of a stranger, she discovers friendship in a new light. After experiencing the worse part of our world, Twilight experinces an even better side to friendship. The side that she never knew about humans shows, and the light of heart outweighs the blackness of other's souls. This story starts out depressing, mind you, but it becomes very bright in a short amount of time. Please read past the first chapter before rating this.
Anyone unwilling to read any more than the first chapter before disliking will be asked to not read it at all.
