After leaving Ponyville, Tempest Shadow's travels have led her to settle down near the edge of the Crystal Kingdom - for now, anyway. She currently works at the Arctic Patrol office with her old-yet-new friend Glitter Drops. Together, they keep an eye on the border of the kingdom and look out for ponies living in the tundra of the Northern Wastes. It's a sedate and oftentimes lonely sort of place, but Tempest doesn't mind - in fact, she thinks it suits her.

This fragile peace is disrupted when a local pony complains about some sort of prank being pulled on them. When Tempest investigates, she's confronted with something much more concerning - and annoying - than she could have anticipated.

There's a pony, at the hospital.
A filly comes to see her on the regular.

Another one made using the prompt for the Cozy contest, more precisely "Life was great until mom started barking like a dog".

Also, no Screwloose tag?
Timeline doesn't fit the Screwloose seen in the show, saddly.

If it's not obvious, AiE. And slightly less obvious, a Nightmare Moon and Anon story.

Anon Y. Mous is on his way to work bright and early. The same cycle that he repeats daily is interrupted by an open manhole that sends him down, yet not in the sewers as he knows.

With the round planet he calls home absolutely NOT under his feet, he finds himself stuck somewhere he thought only trained astronauts would be.

He is neither trained, nor an astronaut.
And lucky for him, the local ghost wants to pay a visit.

Comics lore don't apply here for good ol' Nightmare Moon. So uh, no Nightmare Forces.

Starlight Glimmer can’t forgive her past. Princess Luna knows all too well how that feels.

An entry in the A Thousand Words Contest IV, in the Experimental category.

When a conversation with her school principal turns towards the topic of families, parallel universes, and the coincidences surrounding both, Sunset Shimmer lets slip a little bit too much personal information. This in turn leads her to learn that Celestia's got quite a temper when it comes to her well-being.

And also Celestia's got a really mean left hook.

A simple dinner at a fancy restaurant. A hidden table to hide the mistake they seem to keep making.

For as excited as Prince Blueblood is about the date, he can tell that there's something Shining Armor isn't telling him.

An entry in the A Thousand Words Contest IV, in the Drama category.

When Rainbow Dash got Lightning Dust kicked out of the Wonderbolts Academy, she never thought of what Lightning might do afterwards.
