It's Twilight's fifteenth birthday, and her parents have taken her out to dinner at her favorite Mexicolt restaurant. Princess Celestia is even here to celebrate with her! It would be perfect, except for one thing: she has the hiccups. Can she overcome them before Celestia loses her patience and exiles her from Equestria forever? Probably.

When the world is ending, where do you go?
Into Ships, sailing off into space? Hoping some new world will fare better than your last?
Into Vaults, buried deep underground? Waiting in stale air and light for the world to hopefully heal without you?
Into Portals, to new reflections of reality? Praying that alternate people made different mistakes?

When Equestria passed its point of no return, her citizens did as they always had in times of crisis: they herded together in one place.

And then they built a Spire.

Several centuries later, the daily life of your average pony is unrecognizably different...

...and yet, the more things change the more they echo the past.

Written for the 2023 Seerver Fic Exchange for Silent Whisper whose request was for a cyberpunk dystopia.

The last decade in Equestria has been marked by a lack of sunlight, and an overabundance of tyranny. But today, 10 years after it disappeared, the Sun returns. Praise the Sun.

This was my submission for the Quills & Sofas "Two Halves" contest that was held in the Q&S Discord server. Decided it was worth some minor polishing and publishing.

A box appears at Sunset Shimmer's front door. On the outside, it's barely anything; it's just a box with her name on it. On the inside, though, it's more than she can handle. So many things she couldn't care less about—more specifically, the love letter that practically ends with the name "Twilight Sparkle."

For Bicyclette's SciSet Contest, in which it won third place!

Pinkie needs help. She's been trying to find the perfect use for a word, but nothing has really inspired her. That is, until an innocent stack of pancakes gives her the spark she's been looking for.

With the assistance of her best friend, a metric ton of pancakes, and Twilight Sparkle, she just might pull it off.

But her brilliant plan hinges on one crucial detail, the whole thing has to end in disaster.

There are rumours circulating. Stories about something lurking in the darkness. Something hiding in the unlit corners of rooms and hallways. Something waiting in the shadow. But they're just rumors. Just fiction. There's nothing to be afraid of. There's nothing there at all.

Twilight Velvet has a deadline coming up, and she still doesn't have a story written. Nightlight drags her away to get her mind off of it, and they talk some.

This story was written for the One-Shotober challenges started by CartsBeforeHorses and Redigar. I hope you enjoy!

Luna and Twilight Sparkle are in love.

The problem is that their pets are not.

Enter Fluttershy to resolve the problem.
