Dearest Shining Armor,

By the time you read this, I’ll be long gone.

Originally a one-shot written during a very trying time, but many people asked for a continuation. You can read the first chapter by itself if you wish, and that may even be advisable, but I still hope that you'll enjoy the rest.

Applebloom meets a cattle drover named Thomas. Really. This is a short story, there's not much more I can tell you.

Words have, and always will be, his greatest enemy.

Blueblood, minutes away from glorious death, remembers his life with Octavia.

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy thought they were going to help banish Discord for a third time with their friends and the two princesses. That was precisely what was happening until they both found themselves suddenly transported to a strange new world under a flashing pink sky.

A man named Doug "TheSlorg" Collins finds two young women who are naked, confused, and smell of fudge in the Australian Outback. He then reluctantly agrees to help them return home. But when "home" turns out to be Ponyville, things become a bit more complicated than he bargained for.

A collection of short stories with Toby experiencing his first holidays in his new home.

It has been several months since Toby has been brought to the land of Equestria by Princess Luna. His wish came true as he found a family in his loving mother in Equestria, Fluttershy, along with his Aunt Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. After enduring the heartbreaking loss of his mother, and to know that his own father, James was behind it, Toby found a father figure he deserved in Applejack's older brother Big Mac.

He has made wonderful friends in Ponyville such as The Cutie Mark Crusaders who has taken the role of his big sisters, and have made great friends in Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara.

After finally finding a new home in Equestria and letting go of the past as his father lies in jail for his crime, it is time for Toby to experience the great times that come in this new land and celebrate the holidays of Equestria.

Magic is supposed to be controlled, released when the caster wants it to be and in the form dictated by the spell. To Twilight's glee, she succeeds in creating a spell to see a short distance into the future after many hours of research. The test doesn't exactly go as planned, but it works just in time to save a stallion's life. As she tries to reach out to a pony who she finds has nearly given up on life, she finds to her surprise, wonder, and concern that not all facets of magic are explainable, nor the workings of the heart - especially one that has been broken.

First story in my series. Currently undergoing a massive edit, as there were a lot of errors. Chapters 1-16 completed on the edit thus far. The endings are slightly un-canon, and that will be fixed by the edit, but until I get that up, take comfort in the fact that the shift has no bearing on the rest in the series, which currently follows the alternate path. Chapters 21-24 will likely be edited the most, as they were, admittedly, kind of rushed.

Oh, on a side note, I wrote this whole thing releasing a chapter a day as a personal challenge. Not my best piece, but the one that started them all. Ending one is blatant gary stu, I'll say it now. Art by askheroichamburger of DeviantArt

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
