Three words, three little words that the princess of the sun never thought she would hear in this time of peace. One shot.

An entry for the New Blood Contest.

I am attempting bonuses (#2 #4), judges please give me feedback, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Another shoutout to INeedSleep and Mr. Stargazer for proofreading

On the seventh night of the seventh month, instead of attending a busy festival with their friends, Sunburst and Starlight decide to hide away on the castle's roof to watch the fireworks from a distance and the constellations with a telescope.

This story is a sequel to To Dust You Shall Return

There is something wrong with Twilight, and the Mane Six have to figure out what before it’s too late.

Here’s my entry to Quills and Sofas Speedwriting’s latest Expanded Universe contest! This is a prequel fic to Silent Whisper’s To Dust You Shall Return, which I highly recommend reading either before or after this story. Probably before, if you want to get the contest experience. Go check it out and give it some love!

Sunny Starscout lives in a world of fear and darkness. Time for her to live up to her name.

Inspired by the video game of the same name, several youtube videos I happened upon, and the prompts of Bean's Writing Group.

Written for both the A Thousand Word Contest and The New Blood Contest
Bonus prompts are 1: "From the beginning, you know the end.." and 2: "Include a bug."
For the record, this is not really a crossover. No prior knowledge, characters, or even technically the world comes from the inspiration. It's just that, inspiration.
Knock em both out with a single story, hurrah!

Starswirl the Bearded developed a time-travel spell. A pony could use it - but only once, and only be in the past for about a minute.

One chance. One minute. That's all Princess Celestia has to save her sister from the Nightmare.

A special thanks to daOtterGuy for answering when I said "Name me four stars in the Equestrian sky" and unwittingly helping me with this.
