Following the events of the season 8 finale, Cozy Glow has been sent to Tartarus and the school has been slowly recovering. But Starlight, struggling under the burden of counseling a weary school, is troubled by some tough questions which have been bothering her for some time now.

In an effort to put her mind at ease, she approaches the pony she trusts the most: Twilight Sparkle.

This is a mini-fic with a simple premise. There's limited build up, and the fic is focused primarily on Starlight.

Edit: Got featured on Dec 4th. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time.

Prince Blueblood thought the Grand Galloping Gala was over. He thought he could just go to sleep and put it behind him. He never expected to be reliving the same disaster of a day, over and over... and over.

Thanks to all the people who wrote the page and all the people who gave me a little wakeup call and comment to become aware of that fact! You can't see it, but you guys put a real smile on my face tonight.

Also, recently, extra thanks to RD Dash for giving TBNE a thorough editing. I've updated the fic accordingly (7.11.12)

Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to create the greatest spell of the past century – and then want to destroy it.

It's too dangerous to use, she says. It's too tempting. It can't help you the way you think it can.

Well, Starlight Glimmer knows a thing or three about temptation. She'll prove to Twilight that this spell – this magnificent book – is too important to destroy. That it can help ponies.

She just has to survive using it, first.

Second place in the May 2018 WriteOff.

Distance can drive us apart. It can also bring us closer together.

After all is said and done, and the ponies have gone their separate ways, the only way they have to keep in touch is through letters.

Ever since the Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle and Rarity's relationship has improved drastically. There are still days when Rarity is a bit busy, of course, and certain times when Sweetie doesn't quite get the hint.

During one particularly stressful day, Sweetie Belle gets into Rarity's makeup. Rarity demands an explanation. The answer isn't quite as simple as one sister playing dress-up.

Thanks to my good friend Loopy Legend for the prompt and link to the coverart.

Thanks to Holo, Sir Rustbucket, Loopy Legend, Sage Runner, ValorlordV5, and Midnight Legend for editing.

Every Friday, from five in the afternoon to eleven at night, Pinkie Pie does volunteer work. She doesn't have to do it, the world won't stop if she doesn't, but she chooses to do it anyway. Even if it's doing seemingly insignificant little things.

It is a matter of life and death, after all. Literally.

Love is a funny thing. It can surpass any barrier, transcend time and space, and bring any two ponies together.

Pinkie Pie understands this. It isn't really helping her find the courage to tell Princess Celestia how she really feels, especially since she might not be the only pony to feel about Celestia in that way.

Well, even if she doesn't tell her today, there's always tomorrow, right?

Contrary to popular belief, Equestria is not without crime.

Spot the clues.

A compilation of bite-sized head-scratchers that you can choose to crack. (Solutions are included.)

An alternate end to the Season Four Finale, taking into consideration some details that came to my mind and weaving a short story from them. Also, my first serious (and successful) attempt at a one-shot.

Twilight Sparkle decides to give the villain Tirek all alicorn magic in exchange for her friends. Naturally, this doesn't include Discord. After all, Celestia told her he was a traitor and helped Tirek steal all the magic in Equestria. Discord feels betrayed. Twilight as well. So does Tirek.
Nothing good can come out of this.

The Equestria Games are the event of the decade. A reason for great celebration. For the Crystal Ponies, it's the very first time they see the Games, and they even get to host them. They are euphoric.
The happiness and light within them powers the Crystal Heart. As the Heart receives more power, its effects get stronger. In particular, the arctic ice around the Empire is pushed back farther than ever before.
And under that ice, something slumbers, something waits. Now, it is uncovered. Now, it awakens.

Yes, I know this story is about an ancient being awakening from thousands of years of slumber. Yes, I know the tags are Dark and Tragedy.
But do you see the tag that's not there? It's the Adventure tag. So, if you're looking for a story where the fate of the world hangs in balance and dark forces bring about a tragic ending, please move along. This is not the story you are looking for.

Just an idea I had a while ago that wouldn't let me go. Will not update frequently, as I only wrote this on whims.
Character tags may be added as the story progresses.
I'm not quite sure if the categories are quite right. If you have any input on that, just tell me.
If you find any grammatical errors, please point them out so I can exterminate them.
