Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

I was born a changeling. I was given a false set of memories, set on an espionage mission amongst ponies, then made to forget it all. When the time came to remember, I was exposed, and they failed me. They expected I will return to them, but I refused, and sided with the enemy. Now I must figure out a way to never let them rule over me again. Also, being a changeling is just too weird for me.

Huge thanks to my proofreader, Algoroth, for fixing my grammar and pointing out some logical discrepancies.

Covert art was done by me.

History in Equestria is mostly written from the ponies' perspective, including some from other species speak the same language, but there are interesting stories untold from the animals perspective lives. Most of these stories explore this concept, while giving them voices to their encounters and relationships with the ponies of Equestria. (And that one exception)

Note from squawky:
(Caw! Actually, the word 'Equines' also apply to Zebras, donkeys, and other from the horse family; yet this story's perspectives mainly surround ponies. Unfair representation at this best!! [Also, we had bad case of bird flu. Crows don't normally say squawk, we say caw. We're not parrots, author! This one's on you for insisting on trivial poetry creative licensing. It's my biography, not yours!!]

This is a compilation of Flash fanfiction and short stories from the animal's perspective in Equestria.. Some are miniature stories that are divided into flash chapters. And last and not least, some of the few last chapters will have the word count of short stories.

Princess Luna fell in love with Prince Sombra. When she was on the moon, she missed him more than anything. The hope of seeing him again when she returns is what keeps her alive. Then, after a thousand years, she returned to find that he is gone. Depression overtakes her. Then, he returns. Luna is pulled from the dark abyss she was in and is reunited with Sombra. What would Celestia say?

For centuries, ponykind thought Princess Platinum's splendorous silver crown lost for all time, but it has been found. Twilight Sparkle, the self-proclaimed Princess of Thieves, has tracked it down to the long-fallen Diamond Dog kingdom of Erebark, and means to enter the mountain to retrieve her kin's lost heirloom and settle scores with Princess Celestia.

Unfortunately, there are one or two details she didn't realize going into this mess. Namely, that she'll need to steal from the gilded gallery of one of the mightiest dragons ever to walk the land.

Oops.

Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here.

Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

Canterlot... For centuries, Canterlot was the shining gem of Equestria, the pinnacle of pony society. Now, it’s a reminder, a bleak and monolithic warning to the world. 

Changed by the chemical and technological poisons that plague the mountain, an abomination of nature, I wander the greatest disaster Equestria has ever seen. 

... I will escape eventually, and when I do, I hope my friends still see me as Twilight Sparkle, and not the monster that hides among the ruins. 

There's something strange and unnatural living in Bon-Bon's house.

Something other than Lyra.

How would a being like Discord want to be remembered after he's gone? Well, if you're curious, he did actually write a will. To the surprise of nobody, its contents are bizarre and mildly disturbing.

Part of the Borderworld.

Now with audio readings by NDLMongoose and MelancholyIguana.

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.
