Getting the guilty verdict in Razor Blade's trial was my big break. I went from a no name prosecutor in Trottingham to the most sought after trial attorney on the east coast overnight. Only by divine providence did this opportunity present itself, the other, more senior, prosecutors having been conflicted out thanks to Razor's systematic killings of ponies close to all the largest names in the area.

I had a tough case. Razor was careful and cunning, leaving scant evidence to tie him to the murders, but his MO was clear and consistent, a wretched and surgical gutting of his victim with an over-sharpened kitchen knife. Pinning just one of those killings on him would open the floodgates for the others. Many sleepless nights and fervent searches for any evidence I could find culminated in likely the largest trial I will ever conduct. For three weeks, I presented evidence and argued before a panel of jurors, and in the end they saw reason. Razor Blade was convicted of seventeen counts of murder and sentenced to multiple life sentences.

But this is not that story. This Is not the tale of the beginning of my career, but the end of it. This is a story about how doing your job well can be the most dangerous thing you can do.

[This is a quick 1k word challenge I wanted to do. I liked how it turned out, so I hope you enjoy.]

Being a seamstress saved her just as much as it killed her. Handling the Saints' cutie marks was her holy purpose. Or at least, that's what her captors told her.

This is the story of Relic Weaver, the first Seamstress of the Holy Equestrian Diarchy.

This story is set in the Rekindled Embers AU, and is meant to serve as a prequel and small look into who made the first Knight's garb - handling the Saints' cutiemarks was no small feat, after all. I highly recommend reading it as it's an amazing read. This story is intended to be a side story, so I do recommend it to understand more of the AU, but I will also do my best to explain things in the comments, etc as needed, keeping in mind this is NOT my au.

This new draft of my chapter book for our toy company's publishing division is, as you ordered, about Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, our two most popular characters.

Also, I don't even know what a 'self-insert OC' is.

Baltimare.

Known for it's art and culture. Less known for a couple kids who probably shouldn't be trusted with a wrench and a home chemistry set.

Don't blame them. It's not their fault that "weird" and "dangerous" are synonymous with "cool."

Fine, it probably is their fault, but it's not like that's going to stop them.

Princess Luna has always walked between dreams, guiding ponies through their nightmares and hidden desires. But when she stumbles upon a dream unlike any other, one of a swirling, ethereal ballroom where time bends and music physically hums in the air, she finds herself face-to-face with a mysterious, enchanting figure: the Goblin King.

Jareth, ruler of an ancient, forgotten realm, has discovered Equestria through Luna’s dreams and is captivated by its beauty. He offers Luna a choice: remain in his dream world alongside him, where she will never be alone again, or return to reality and face the loneliness that comes with her eternal night.

As the world inside the dream shifts and falls apart, Luna must decide: does she hold onto the fantasy, or does she wake up before she is lost forever?


A crossover featuring the 1986 film, The Labyrinth.
