Love is a powerful emotion, but even love has it's limits.

Vinyl and Octavia are as close as can be. Sure you can look past each other's flaws and see the beauty in each other just the way you are. But what if that flaw is too much to look past? The wild, alcoholic party tendencies Vinyl tends to exude may push the limit, but with not one ounce of responsibility to back her up, not to mention the countless broken promises and childlike actions stacking up on a daily basis, Octavia has had enough.

Now Vinyl, a mare deeply rooted in living in the moment, forgetful, and irresponsible, must grow to understand a harsher reality without love, and learn to appreciate the world more so than she did before.

Warning: Some reviews obviously contain spoilers.

Both Princess Celestia and Luna have come to the conclusion that Twilight Sparkle is ready for the next step in her alicorn training.

And all she has to do is turn around.

And take a deep breath.

When a mare can't take much more, and everything has been taken from her hooves, so little left she can control. As those close to her continue to rip her apart, she makes her final say.

And as time slows this day, she leaves a note to explain her way.

Trigger Warning: Implied Abuse, negligence, emotional abuse, harassment, suicide by poison.

"We were so used to them wreaking havoc and walking away from the most ridiculous wreckages that it was easy to forget they weren't invincible. Fate was a cruel mistress to take one of them from us at such a young age...

I was fortunate, but somepony close to me was not. It was hard for me to imagine the loss she felt. It was so difficult. I wish there was more I could have done to comfort her, but my attention was focused elsewhere. Sweetie Belle lost one of her closest friends and she needed me to guide her through the grief and chase away the occasional nightmare. I devoted so much of my time to her that I dared not acknowledge the plague of strange happenings that fell upon Ponyville soon after the accident.

I was such a foolish mare..."

Returning home after school one afternoon, a teenage Scootaloo sits alone and thinks about her life and her troubles, reflecting upon her disability and hopelessness to achieve her dreams and one day live up to her idol's standards. After much thought, her conclusion is that she cannot live her life any longer and would be better off dead.

She decides to write out her thoughts in her journal, entailing her upcoming suicide and how she plans to carry it out, hoping somepony will find it after she's gone and will know where to find the body. But what happens after one of her curious friends goes snooping around and reads the open page? Can her death be stopped in time?

You are a human, Anonymous, that has lived in Equestria for two years. After a Hearth's Warming Eve spent together, Anonymous goes through a revolutionary phase when he realizes that Rainbow Dash, his closest friend in this world, has been harboring feelings for him that he never even noticed. How did he never notice? Why him, and not a stallion? Is he some kind of xenophiliac deep down?

Starlight Glimmer, a troubled pony who was reformed and now seems to live a happy life with Twilight as her teacher and friend. Her life seems to be perfect, but what's going on inside her mind? With ponies not giving her a chance and still changing the details from her past to make it worse, the ponies start to get to Starlight and soon awful thoughts start to plague her mind.

*Updated and fixed all grammar!
*Warning! Suicidal thoughts and some triggers, not meant for small horses, you have been warned of the feels.

Rainbow Dash. The coolest, toughest mare around. At first glance, you'd think this pony truly has it all.

But looks can be deceiving. Sadness, pain, negativity. Dash had been putting up with crippling depressing for months now. Not even the love of her friends, or most beloved special somepony has been able to help. One night, in the darkness. She cries. She breaks. She snaps. What could push Dash far enough to make an attempt on her own life?

(warning: contains scenes of minor blood, depictions of major depression, as well as attempted suicide.)

Dash has been away on Wonderbolt business for what seems like forever. Poor Scootaloo can't wait any longer to see her hero. What else to do but ship herself by mail?

Warning: Dark humor, of a violent nature.

As vital to the Guardian as a Ghost becomes, the meld of metal and Light is little more than a trinket when alone. When such separation occurs, most slowly degrade into a crusty husk, devoid of life and Light.

When his Guardian is consumed by the Darkness, one such Ghost breaks the mold of decay to fulfill the legacy of his mentor and friend, scouring the far reaches of the galaxy with the incomprehensibly intricate technology of the Vex.

The Ghost stumbles upon a world he could not have imagined, a place untouched by both the Darkness and the Traveler's Light. Discovering a secret Vex plot which threatens to devour the innocent planet, the Little Light does the unthinkable yet again. He takes upon a second Guardian, one bestowed with the rare gift of his previous. Kindness.
