There is a village where everypony can be the same.

You may have read some nasty things about it. Rumors of stolen cutie marks and power-mad unicorns. Tall tales about forced smiles and frightened glances.

It's all lies. All except the part about us wanting to escape. That's true.

It's why we came here in the first place.

Fluttershy tends to a bonsai tree. It's a nice, quiet distraction.

Spike only wants things to stay the same. Time, however, has other ideas. He's going to need a lot of help... An everypony story.

When Princesses Celestia and Luna visit a public art gallery, they come upon a painting of Celestia, banished to the moon. They react to this in the only reasonable way: artistic criticism and analysis.

I am Cold, swirling snow that turns ponies against each other, searing ice that freezes them solid. I am Survivor, the one the Friendfyre spell didn't catch, an exception that proves an impossible rule. I am Fear, Frustration, Anger, Hatred, every emotion my Creator has ever felt. I am her Future. I am her Past.

I am Demon, and Clover the Clever is my Master.

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

In a dimension tangential to Equestria, where everything is slightly similar but not really the same, the evil Hypnagogic Jerk Moon has enslaved the world. Bizarro Twilight Sparkle is the pony chosen to be the bearer of the element of UFOs, but that doesn't help. What does being the element of UFOs even mean? You can't do anything with that!

Unwilling to deal with her own problems, Bizarro Twilight travels to another dimension in search of an OP alicorn version of herself who she can beg to defeat Hypnagogic Jerk Moon for her!

And hopefully she doesn't have to learn a lesson or anything.

A unicorn with an unwanted special magical talent isolates herself on a remote hillside, away from other ponies, for their sake and hers.

Rated T for dark themes and descriptions of death, but this isn't a horror fic; rather, it's a story about isolation, loneliness and broken magic. And chamomile tea.

When a confrontation with a new magical enemy goes horribly wrong, Twilight and Rarity find themselves trapped under rubble and dirt and twisted metal together. There is no light, no more air, and perhaps also no hope of rescue.

This story is part of the First and Only Raritwi Bomb. A week's worth of stories and art all centered around Rarity and Twilight. If you liked it, the previous story posted is [CW, rated M!] https://www.fimfiction.net/story/450701/city-of-lights, and you can find a master list of all Raritwi Bomb content here, https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/873741/the-raritwi-bomb-masterpost.

Rainbow takes Rarity on a short holiday to try and get away from everything.
But she knows there are some things you can't leave behind.
