Skimpy outfits and unintended innuendo, what more can a clueless Starlight ask for? A short interlude between serious chapters. Enjoy. (Also, remember, authors really like comments, so please add your to the story.)

In Public Nightmares, the new four part chapter starting today, Starlight's new life with capital-R Responsibilities becomes a lot more complicated and discomforting. She may avow herself evil, but most who know her know she will do the right thing even if it kills her. She has a control issue, especially if she has no control, as the next installment will show.

In part 2 of 4 of Public Nightmares, what does Starlight do when she realizes she can't cope? She tries harder, but she realizes her hardest opponent may just be her own memory. Warning: This chapter and the next are very emotionally intense.

Starlight is about the realize she isn't a doctor and that she's made a newbie princess mistake. It's going to be a very bad morning...

Quick! Read chapter 45, just posted, albeit late.

The last time Starlight fought a griffon, she'd died and had to be revived. This isn't exactly a rematch, but she wants to prove she isn't a one trick pony. (She didn't lose that first fight, but bleeding to death for all practical purposes didn't make it a convincing win, either.) Read Mare's Honor posted 1/23/24.

With mysteries deepening all around her, Starlight takes a moment to enjoy some butter pumpkin bread! Just in time to step a hoof into... yet another mystery.

First off, sorry about the late installment. Health issues on the team, and hardware issues. Anyway, Moon Dancer is back after the ruckus she started in the prologue and being somewhat background afterwards. This is the same Moon Dancer who is Celestia's ward in Sisters in All but Blood, but 599 days later in that story and having had a couple years to get over... well, what's in this

New chapter! New Cover Art. I colorized it, so if the color style doesn't work for you, blame me. The story becoming more and more awkward and challenging for Starlight and her inexperienced heart is totally my fault (and Blueblood's).

By Dawn's Early Light Part 2 of two (17) is published. Starlight knows the enigmatic princes has a reputation for being a jerk around the mares. What might be his reasons? Will Starlight be able to deal with it? Read it now!

Go read chapter 34, but first take a look at the picture below and the number of views. Not that I'm superstitious, but I hope it changes quickly!

No, she wasn't thrown in the brig for her combative nature. But there's a problem child there. All I have to say is Brother / Grampa, Toe-ma-toe / To-mah-to. A character we know from years later when the show episodes take place appears, somewhat younger. (From wikipedia: The fez has been used as part of soldiers' uniforms in many armies and wars for centuries...)

Tentative description: Starlight Glimmer has never been comfortable with friendship, but the friendship lessons keep coming; something's bound to stick. When Celestia and Moon Dancer's great aunt both aim her at the enigmatic Prince of Equestria, to teach him a lesson, unexpected feelings rear their ugly head. That her choices about him might save or doom Canterlot is simply an added unwelcome bonus.

Hit up the comments and tell me what you think of the cover and anything else.

In the newly posted chapter 48, Death for the Sake of Love, love proves blinding, literally, and often. Nevertheless, the standoff between her and the sensora (changelings) is also extremely tense. Anything could trigger a cascade of deadly responses...

The latest post (today 8/4 at 2:15 PM PDT) is the last installment of a large chapter composed of 4 parts. Get reading. I do have news, though...

Three (3) filly friends sounds kind of ominous for Starlight's love life when you realize the title refers to Blueblood. Starlight gets Blueblood to open up about his tragic past and begins to understand him very well. There are uncanny similarities shared between them...

I went 3 years and 8 months without catching it, but someone hacking and coughing without a mask in a small store overpowered the KN95 I was wearing and I came down with symptoms 2 days later. Remember folks, wear a mask if you have to go out and you have symptoms. You may save someone great misery or save a life of someone less healthy than you. You don't know, but you could be a hero. Right now, doing a final read before posting a chapter is beyond my strength. Fever's down at least, so very

Meltdown Part 3 of three (ch20) is ready to read, and it's a large installment. Couldn't break it up after you've been waiting such a long time! Starlight thinks she has gathered her scatter wits, even dealing with Sunset and Twilight being in the same classroom with a deft hoof. Then Sunburst trots in and doesn't recognize her...
