Fluttershy has a long standing policy of not letting Discord alter reality for her benefit. She won't let him make her unfathomably rich. She won't let him give her untold power. She won't even let him make her immortal.

But she has taught him that friends are allowed to give gifts and help each other.

So if he can make everypony in Equestria her friend, then they'll just give her everything she could ever want!

The plan's flawless!

He's so smart.

The Sisters' Moon.

For generations the ponies of Equestria called eclipses by the same name, even while divided by fear and hate. All celebrate it the same way, displaying their affection and love for their close friends and family. To this day, nopony remembers why.

Sunny Starscout discovers this mystery when she and her friends prepare to celebrate their first Sisters' Moon together in the Crystal Brighthouse, and she wants to know the story behind the holiday that bound them even before their reunification. Her only lead is an elderly pony who might just have the answers she seeks.

Twilight has had a very eventful week: Fighting Tirek, getting her home blown up, defeating Tirek, and getting a nifty replacement home would already be pretty exciting on its own. But now she has been summoned to Canterlot by Celestia, who has some big news to tell her.

After long consideration and no small amount of pestering from Luna, Celestia is about to grant Twilight access to the files of the Equestrian Secret Service so that she and her friends can be better prepared for future threats to come.

What will Twilight learn in the depths of the archive? Surely nothing that could shake the very foundation of the friendships she so painstakingly built in her new home ...

If any of you would be interested in an epilogue, where I unveil some of the secrets or thoughts behind them, let me know in the comments.

Something is wrong between Fluttershy and Discord. He’s acting suspicious, and a heartbroken Fluttershy seeks advice and comfort from her friends. Could this be the end of their relationship? What is he hiding?

Written for Bean’s Writing Group’s The ”New Blood” contest.

Attempted bonuses: ”An unusual matchup” and ”include a bug.”

Deep in the cosmos there flies a solitary starship, drifting aimlessly and without purpose to the chagrin of the thousands of passengers inside.

Among those many escapees is Roseluck, a criminal whose hidden secrets could doom every creature on board. She won't stop, though, for her crimes are crimes of passion and a driving need that no law could ever hope to staunch.

This is her story.

An honorable mention in "The New Blood" contest hosted by Bean's Writing Group.

Not all changelings are the hive-minded love-sucking warriors they are known as. Some of them may have their own interests and are just so caught up in the duties of the hive to show it. One particular changeling gets to know what it is like to have some encouragement from a friend and realizes that not everyone views her interests with disdain.

Bonus 2: "Include a bug."
Bonus 3: "An unusual matchup."

Fluttershy decides to surrogate for a couple, but doesn’t want any extra attention from anypony, and so she simply doesn’t tell anypony else.

This story was written for the New Blood contest. The prompt was “A Secret Life” and this story aims for the fourth bonus. I was compelled to take that prompt as literally as possible.

I submitted this story in the final hours of the contest; it was quite difficult to finish, this being my third or fourth attempt at finishing a story for it, and I had fun.

The cover art is by SNSPony.

Through voice and keys, a somnolent sister shares her heart out unto the night sky. Hoping, through held tears, to perhaps soothe her sister long gone, and not only herself. Awaiting an answer she knows will never come.
