There's a bug under my bed. Or at least I think it's a bug.

It says it needs to stay under there to hide.

I just hope it leaves soon. And doesn't eat me before then.

Celestia is worried about her sister; Luna talks to herself constantly and refuses to go beyond the palace walls if she can help it. Thinking a kindred spirit will help, Celestia (with much additional persuasion from Fluttershy) asks Discord to spend an evening with Luna to get her to open up, even if just a little.

And much like anything involving Discord, almost none of it goes well.

Eris has been around for a very long time, mostly against her will, but when a chance comes around to take control of her life back she jumps on it. Eris always wanted to make a difference, and one thousand years ago there were plenty of ways to make a difference one only needs to look.

Even the smallest changes can have rippling effects, and Eris is determined to make waves in this new world.

My name is Twilight Sprinkle, and my passion is donuts—from the delicate morsels I serve at elegant cocktail parties to the hearty pastries enjoyed by hard-working ponies who get up early. I don’t have friends, I don’t have books, and I sure as the sun don’t have any wings. I don’t care whether you’re here for revenge, for romance, or for a favor. My name is Twilight Sprinkle and I’m not who you think I am, so either buy a donut or get the hay out of my store!

(Edited by the mysterious the masked ferret.)

When a mysterious stallion appears out of a portal, Twilight Sparkle is ecstatic. Who knows what other-worldly knowledge this stranger could possess?

Unfortunately for her, that knowledge may prove somewhat limited as this stallion... has a bit of an unexpected handicap.

Lyra and Bon Bon have always wanted to go to the paradise known as Haywaii. Unfortunately, it costs much more than a front leg and a hind leg simply to get there. Their dream seems out of reach... until Lyra finds a much, much cheaper alternative. Not only that, it's fast. It's easy. It's risk-free.

Bon Bon doesn't like it one bit.

A day following his horrific attack on both Canterlot and Ponyville, Tirek returns to lay claim on what remains. Including the dead.

Because they're all dead, right? Like, seriously, there's no way they could've survived that, right?

Right?
