Rainbow Dash briefly dies.

Thankfully its not permanent and while she waits she banters with Death.

He's a pretty chill dude.

(A quick slice of life tale, as it were. is canonical with The Wardens of Order)

In a land known as Kyoto, Japan a girl by the name of Songbird goes blind from a chemical accident and the loss of her brother Robbie, she is fueled by anger and rage to take down the Yakuza that have been going around messing around with the balance of everything.

Octavia had hit a block in her musical career. She just can't figure out any new songs to write. And all the tricks she's tried to come up with something new are just failing. Vinyl Scratch, worried about her, puts her in contact with a friend who just might have the very thing she needs....

What is but a small thing to one, is the greatest of gifts to another.

Spike decides to give somepony a very special gift indeed.

A Random little oneshot I hope you will enjoy.

Basically a collection of short stories about magical artifacts and magical phenomons and how they were used/came to be. (Or even sometimes just stories about them.) With small additions by Twilight Sparkle.

Expect multiple war stopping artifacts, mind control staffs, OP amulets, and even gender changing stones to appear.

This is gonna be a crazy ride.

(Gore for certain chapters containing more violence than the show. Most of it will be fantasy violence. There will probably never be extremely graphic detail. Probably.)

Many moons ago, before Twilight Sparkle was Princess Celestia's pupil, there was another student, Sunset Shimmer. She left long before Twilight was able to go on and make several friends and save Equestria time after time. This is the last conversation Sunset had with her teacher.

Ignores IDW comic backstory involving Sunset Shimmer.

Two cups of tea and a cake are exactly what are needed for making up after an argument. But there is a little more to this situation than meets the eye. Time can pass in the blink of an eye when you have quite so much of it.

Not canon with Finding Home and Making a Family, but they are canon to this story.

Prince Blueblood has reached the age where he is to be married. But unfortunately, he is terribly picky about his bride. His Aunt, Princess Celestia has determined to find a suitable bride for Blueblood. She even goes so far as to set forth a challenge to any mare willing to try and court the young stallion.

This is part of my 1K Challenge, and the April 2017 Short fic contest: Fairy Tale hosted by SPark.

It is commonly accepted that heroes within any society should be remembered as the pinnacle of what any citizen should strive to be. For one particular Pegasus, this status was once bore proudly upon his chest before being stripped like his service was nothing. That mare, no... That foal, took everything he ever had. Now, it's just him, a bottle of booze and a remote cloud home to his name. Join this Pegasus as he reflects on life.

Matthias Síðasta Von has always wished to visit the magical land of Equestria, see the wonderful colors, talk to the ponies that live there. Perhaps even, should he be so lucky, live there permanently. Help Fluttershy with the animals, listen to Twilight talk about her most recent lesson or experiment, lift baskets of apples with Applejack, tell Lyra about humans.

One day, a connection is made, an offer: step through the gate. It was warned that the cost might be hefty, that the journey might be hard, but anything was better than this drab, grey life. So he stepped through.

But, this is not the Equestria he knew. Buildings aged and decrepit, roads cracked and eroded, the Everfree slowly reclaiming the Apple's farm and the last barn finally given out under the strain with nopony to raise it anew. What happened? Where did they go?

The colors bleached, the ponies gone, the Harmony and love that once sustained the land dried up and blown away like so much dust.

Except...
