Sometimes, my mind wanders towards my sister-in-law. How she used to get so excited to see me, how her eyes used to glow with an optimism and love you just didn't see from anypony else.

How that glow disappeared one fateful afternoon.

It was supposed to be a normal meeting, a chance to catch up. That was when she asked me the question, one that I thought quite silly at the time.

Rating and tag for excessive alcohol consumption.

Flash Sentry just broke up with his marefriend of several years.

Now, he's stuck in a time loop aboard a train.

Flash Sentry would like to stop now.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

It's a new year! Big changes are coming for Gallus; he just became Captain of the Royal Guard, and has a lot of new responsibility! Now where's that Princess he's supposed to guard?

It turns out that Sunset Shimmer's final letters to Princess Celestia before her exile were not filled with resentment or remorse.

There might have been a lot more frantic running away involved.

But whatever the case, it was definitely not Sunset's fault.

At all.

Rated Teen and Sex for mentions of egregious sexual irresponsibility. No actual sex.

Contains minor Sunlight shipping. Much apologies.

At Camp Everfree, one of Sunset Shimmer's first experiences with her geode and her powers of empathy was to delve into Pinkie Pie's mind. Rather than just memories there, she found Pinkie's own unique mental world - a place of candy and fun and music and joy. An escape away from pain, away from worry, away from the troubles of reality.

And if that isn't a tempting thing on a bad day, I don't know what is.

There are six pony virtues. Six. And fortunately for the pickup artists, confidence stallions, and desperate of the world, there's also a lot of sapients who can't count that high. Princess Luna's Return produced a few side effects, and one of the more consistently annoying is a never-ending parade of those who claim to be the hitherto-unknown virtue of This Is Worth Some Free Drinks. Others take it further.

Division Seven is an international, multispecies effort, created in an attempt to find and discipline those charlatans. And ideally, to do so before something... happens.

The planet has strange ways of reacting to the presence of true Bearers.

Imagine how it might deal with some of the fakes...
