This story is a sequel to My Little Apprentice: Apogee

A year has passed since Second Chance arrived in Equestria. She has a loving adoptive family, one of the best teachers of magic in Equestria, and some fantastic new friends. Compared to a world destroyed by war, her new life seems like a paradise.

Unfortunately for her, Equestria isn't as safe as it sometimes looks. It has its own dangers; powerful evils that won't spare her just because she came from Earth. Between human dangers and natural ones, Equestria's ponies may not survive.

As usual, editing by Two Bit and Sparktail, with art by the talented Zutcha (who's got a Patreon now, if you're feeling generous!)

This story is a sequel to The Faith of Carrot Top

Throughout world history, one of the most consistent aspects of initial contact between two cultures has been sexual. From the ravishes of British exploration in the African tropics, to the dalliance of Cortés’ followers with Aztecs in the Columbian Exchange, human beings create sexual encounters wherever they go.
A long time ago, and in the present day, there were sixteen young men and women who traveled to Equestria through the very first Fifth-Dimensional Hyperplane Gate. These bold humans mingled for three months with ponykind, and when they returned to Earth, they were determined to share the friendship they had discovered with the entire world. What followed were heady days.
These are the love stories of a spacefaring civilization. Some have happy endings, and some sad endings. They seek out strange new life, and build new families of which will be made new civilizations. It is my humble pleasure to offer you a sampling of the tales recounted to a princess on brisk September evening.

The author considers this to be a prequel to The Faith of Carrot Top, and nominally means it to be read after the original story. But Love Letters Written on the Back of a Star Chart also stands quite well on its own.

Rarity and Fluttershy have been friends for years, and every week they go to the spa. But after every trip, Rarity finds herself growing greener with envy over Fluttershy's beauty and grace, if not something more than just envy— and what might happen if she finds out Fluttershy feels the same way about her?

This story is a sequel to Deja Discord

With all that Twilight and Discord have gone through in their efforts to secure a place for him in both Equestria and pony society, with all the strides Discord has taken to appreciate them and realize true friendship, [as seen in A Pony's Sympathy and Deja Discord] there are still a few more obstacles to overcome.

With their home and their still-budding relationship at stake, Twilight might be required to take on the Spirit of Chaos - in all that that entails - to fully ensure that his place remains with the friends he has made, and with her.

The final story in the Sympathy Series. [Written between Nov. 2013 and March 2018]

Twilight discovers Discord in-hiding - which is strange enough - but the discussion they have causes her to consider the particulars of true harmony, and whether or not a being such as he should be allowed to live freely to retain his part in it.

[Written/published between Sept. 2011 and Oct. 2012]

This story is a sequel to A Pony's Sympathy

Following Discord's last escape from stone [as seen in A Pony's Sympathy], Twilight Sparkle sought to understand his role in the keeping of Balance in Equestria

Her want to understand sparked an alliance of sorts, a kind of understanding between them. Although having one pony in his corner has done little to convince the rest.

His lack of empathy and understanding of a pony's sensibility has been tolerated by Celestia.

But while both the princesses and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony struggle with even more dire problems, Discord is forced into a lesson of his own, and it could not have come at a more inopportune time.

Continuing the story of A Pony's Sympathy, the fledgling friendship between the Spirit of Chaos and the Element of Magic may determine the fate of the ponies, and the way both sides of harmony regard one another.

[Written/published between Nov. 2012 and Nov. 2013, based loosely on Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 3x13 'Deja Q']

That's right. This story has the infamous tag-trifecta of pony blasphemy. We're shipping humans with ponies over here.

But what's this? Something's gone wrong. Our bipedal hero doesn't want to lose his heart to an equine!

Poor, broken-hearted Carrot Top! She just can't understand it. Who wouldn't want to be shipped with a pony?

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.

When Twilight receives one of the original journals of Starswirl the Bearded from Princess Luna, she can't wait to try the spells inside it, but the book's magic turns out to be a bit more than Twilight can handle, as her reckless experimentation leads to her accidentally bringing her reflection to life. At first, Twilight decides she quite likes the idea of having a copy around the library. But seeing herself from an outside perspective makes Twilight realize there are some parts of her personality she doesn't care for, forcing her to confront her issues.

Written in the same format as the show, save that it is longer and addresses somewhat sadder themes. No objectionable content or OC characters, focuses heavily on the mane cast.

Special thanks goes out to Pascoite and PavFeira, the two editors who somehow managed to withstand my childish scribbling long enough to make them readable. Couldn't have done it without you!

[Complete! With TVTropes apparently!]
Also, apparently, an animated trailer.

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.
