Starlight Glimmer, heartbroken after her breakup with Sunburst, casts a spell without thinking or even caring about the consequences. After casting the spell, she falls through the portal she conjured, landing in another world... our world.

In this world, there is a young man named Nathan who had just gone through a breakup of his own. He, like her, knew what it was like to feel immense pain, to have no faith in the future, and to have given up on life. She, like him, lost someone very dear to her and has nothing left in this cold dark world but one thing: a dwindling light called hope.

With hope fading fast from these two hearts, can either one of them ever find love again? It may be even closer than they realize.

Months before the Last Day, the inhabitants of Stables 29 and 101 were sealed inside their Stables as part of a "trial run." Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Philarmonica were two such souls, bound by love but separated by fate. Even across the distance dividing them, though, they sent messages to each other.

Until, one fateful day several months after the immense door of Stable 29 closed, everything went wrong.

Scootaloo has been without a place to call home for a long time, and up until now, she's been relatively fine. But the winter is only getting colder, and her Crusader's cape isn't doing much to keep her warm at night in the unheated clubhouse, and she just hopes for a better life maybe, with a certain filly with a pastel pink and violet mane, but right now she just wants a home..

Everything is made of Crystal. Everything is the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle of made of Crystal. Why is everything made of Crystal? Celestia might know why.

Another scenario story involving Equestria's history (sort of). Knowledge of previous story is not needed.
Enjoy!

Ancient evil returns. The elements of harmony fight back. Good prevails. A nice, storybook ending for each and every situation.

Except, this isn't a storybook.

This is something else. The characters are accurate, but the setting has changed. The story has changed. Is there truly a hero and villain, or perhaps are the roles switched? History was written by the winners, after all.
It is the survivors who tell the true story.

(Finally, I have started working on a project I've had in my head since I was 14. Yes, six years later, and here I am writing it as it was meant to be. This story has been rewritten a dozen times, but I am finally satisfied with the direction it is headed. Thank you for giving it a chance ahead of time, it means the world to me. I'm not looking to write a masterpiece, but I am looking to write a story. I hope you enjoy.)

Two lovers pass along the same path with the same problem. Rarity and Twilight are in the doldrums of life, and find that answers are few, far between, and sometimes wordless.

Autumn Breeze has a pretty good life for a drifter. She still keeps in contact with her parents, along with the many friends that she has made throughout her travels. Sure she only stays in any one town for a couple of years at a time, but that's okay. After all, she loves to meet new ponies. She'd like to settle down, though, if only ponies wouldn't keep discovering her secret.

Even in Ponyville, it won't be long before somepony suspects her story about her unusual appearance. Not long before somepony notices that she secludes herself in her room once a month. Not long before somepony opens her bedroom door on the night of a full moon to see a feral fox thrashing around, trying to get out of it's bonds.

Well, maybe things will be different this time. Maybe nopony will discover that she's an equi-fox. Maybe when they find out they won't care.

And maybe pigs will sprout wings and start giving flying lessons to young pegasi.

Sure, changeling invasions have become semi-common, as have parasprite swarms, but did Equestria really expect donuts to attack?

Lately, Twilight has been developing some unfamiliar...feelings for a certain white-furred fashionista in Ponyville. And, judging by Rarity's rather flirtatious manner, she feels the same way. But Twilight has never been in love before. And from what she's heard, falling in love is a little like dying. You don't come out of it the same pony you went in. A part of you is lost forever. Is that really what she wants?

My entry for Monochromatic's "Interwoven Colours" contest.

Yesterday you were born.
Tomorrow, you will die.
When the river of life promises to sweep you away
All you have left is to live for today.
