A young mare wonders if life is worth living, when you can't ever reach your dreams, and somepony who loves her to death is more than willing to tell her why she's worth it.

This story was just one to get me back into writing, and posting on this site. I have mostly comedies lined up, but I wanted to write something. So, here's a sad story that kinda turns to fluff at the end.

When Twilight is called away for yet another dangerous adventure, Spike refuses to be left behind again. After all, he's a dragon, isn't he? The most mighty and fearsome race of creature in all the land! Why should he have to stay home and fret while Twilight risks herself to save Equestria?

Inspired by the cover image which was drawn by the very talented dm29. I definitely recommend checking out his work.

When Sonata Dusk walks into Sugarcube Corner during Pinkie Pie's shift on a Friday afternoon, it seems like a normal, routine event like with any other customer.

When Sonata comes back the next week - and the next - and Pinkie eventually asks her out - it's more fun than the colour pink or warm caramel-fudge swirl.

Neither has any idea what they've gotten themselves into.

This is a minorly-altered canon (but probably not entirely alternate universe) fic in which Pinkie and Sonata meet two weeks after the Fall Formal and five months before the Battle of the Bands. Some artistic liberties with the Rainbow Rocks movie have been taken, but with caution to keep close to the original plot, and so this story is rife with movie SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

A special shout out to my dear girlfriend Cynthia for not only providing some BEAUTIFUL cover art for this fic, but also for reading along and providing moral support as I wrote, and to Monochromatic for helping me through the process of publishing to FiMFic for the first time!

Twilight pays Rarity a visit in the early part of Winter because they're planning on sharing breakfast together. But when Twilight arrives, a note and a locked door, not her special somepony, greet her. So she endeavors to get their morning started properly, even if things aren't going to plan.

"When I read their letters... I think about how temporary everything really is."

A lonely princess pores over her studies in a frigid castle, desiring nothing more than the warmth of an old friend. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Equestria, wears a heavy crown wrought of burdens too numerous to bear, but perhaps a special visitor can ease her pain, if only for a moment.

Twilight and Rarity talk about their dating history.

Upon Equestria's founding, Clover the Clever and Princess Platinum discuss its future... and theirs.

Twilight Sparkle is a happy pony. With the help of her friends she defeated Tirek. She has a shiny new castle, the kingdom is safe, and she knows the reason behind her ascension. What more could a young princess want?

She is happy, she tells herself as she digs through the ruins of her home. She is so happy she can barely smell the ashes any more.

But in those ashes she finds something unexpected: a small porcelain vase, and with it a decade's worth of unspoken questions. A mystery hiding beneath her hooves, waiting to be put to rest.

On a trip to visit Twilight's parents in Canterlot, Twilight and Rarity find themselves in an unusual situation. Can they straighten everything out before they have to return to Ponyville?

One, go to the spa with Rarity and Fluttershy.
Two, return to castle.
Three, stay up until the wee hours of the morning reading that book on ancient Equestrian history Princess Cadence sent her.
Typical Twilight Sparkle daily schedule. At least, whenever she can get her schedule to cooperate these days. Seems like there's always some kind of problem- a god of chaos with his antics, or two friends bickering about nothing, or a love letter that... wait, a love letter?
