Every rising star must eventually fall. Rainbow Dash is locked in a struggle against her own past, and with the help of Twilight is about to make a discovery that will change the way she flies forever. But what will she lose in the process?

Massive thanks to Furor1 and Nyuuchandiannepie for the ridiculously awesome artwork, you should really check them out on DeviantArt if you've not already.

Dedicated to Donald Campbell and his Bluebird, for chasing his horizons for no other reason than the fact that they were there. Also to Steve Hogarth and Marillion for writing Out Of This World, the song that inspired this story.

You and I?
We've known each other for so long, but I can't quite bring myself to say just what I want to.

Sometimes I think it'd just be better if I stayed on the sidelines and kept looking out at you from afar.

A/N: Many, many thanks to Karrakaz for taking a read of this and giving his feedback.

Short series of one-word prompts given to me by a friend. Most are under 3000 words, and are unrelated to one another unless specifically stated. All of them will be Twidash. Tags will update depending on the chapters I add. This story will update infrequently, as in whenever I have time to write something that isn't one of my main fics.

(If you have any prompts you want me to write, post 'em in the comments.)

He didn't deserve another chance after what he did, but he got one. He got the forgiveness he never expected, from the last pony he ever expected to get it from. In gratitude to her, he writes her a letter, thanking her and her friends for everything.

His mind and heart laid bare both to himself and those who read it. He has the freedom he truly wanted.

But you know what? Just a letter isn't enough. No, he must tell her himself.

Equestria Daily Featured, and proud of it, baby!

Life isn't as easy as it once was for Rainbow Dash anymore. She suffers from poor eyesight, an achy back, and a host of other ailments that come with old age. But worst of all are the things she can no longer have, the things she can no longer reach. Old friends are gone, and certain places she used to visit are now just as out or reach as her friends. But Rainbow Dash can get what she wants. After all, the sky's the limit.

*Sequel to "When I Can Fly."

Pondering life brings many ideas.

Even a good idea can end in a mistake.

But for every mistake, there is a success.

And for every success there is a story.

Love of a blue angel brought me here.

And this is the story of that success, and the mistake that started it.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has found plenty of time to spend with her friends; Rainbow Dash cannot deny that, yet there is still something bothering her that she can't quite express.

An ancient evil has awakened. No, really, it has. From the depths of time, a black, noxious threat has risen up after millennia of imprisonment. It washes like oil over Equestria, swallowing up towns and uncovering terrible secrets long buried. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity are prepared to combat this great darkness. However, to do so, they must uncover the truths about the Elements of Harmony, and the truths about the ancient forerunners of Equestrian culture. What they find will challenge their conceptions of their own places in history and ponydom's place in the world. The six Bearers of the Elements must draw upon their friendship and the strength of their hearts to stand firm against the darkness. If they fail, it will mean the end of everything.

UPDATE: 8,000 unique views! Wow! I'm incredibly flattered!

Plowpony's Day- a day of peaceful rest and relaxation. Or it was, until Twilight Sparkle badly mangled a teleportation spell. It has left her with a bad case of Horn Rot, a disease that if untreated could prove fatal. What's more, the malady is advancing faster than the slow-brewing potion that cures it!

There is one swifter cure: the Beneviolet, a star-shaped flower that grows in the distant Archback Mountains, far beyond the western borders of Equestria. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity choose to undertake the long journey for the sake of their friend. Their path will wind through floes of ice, across gold-tinted plains, into distant forests glimmering with magic. They will learn much about the world beyond their homeland- and much about themselves, as well.

Yes, it's "Dangerous Business," here on FIMFiction. A huge debt is owed to all those who have supported me over the years. I've edited the story some to remove extraneous bolding and italics, but other than that, it remains unchanged. I hope new readers enjoy it as much as old ones did.

An argument over another Daring Do book leaves Rainbow Dash frustrated. How can she ever get to Twilight to see what she means to her? What will it take to get the bookish unicorn to see things in a different light?
