Twilight Sparkle never seemed to notice Lyra Heartstrings. She didn't even remember Lyra's name.

They were friends back in Canterlot and even went to school together. Yet Twilight didn't notice that Lyra just happened to move to Ponyville the same day she did. She didn't even notice when Lyra appeared at her welcoming party. Nor did she ever seem to spot her old classmate passing by in the background on any other day during her stay in Ponyville. Some days she could look right at Lyra and never realize that they knew each other.

Lyra isn't a very noticeable pony. She has put a lot of effort into that.

Set in late season 5, after Amending Fences.
Note: Lots of spoilers in the comments.

Now, running for their very lives, they have to work together so to uncover a stunning secret that has been kept from them both...for long enough.

Don't have time to invest in a long story? Or even a one-shot? Never fear! EileenSaysHi is here to save the day with their collection of entries from Loganberry's Flashfic group, which hosts the monthly Flashfic150 competition! I post a new entry every month; check out the group if you want to read new entries while they're still in competition.

This fic serves as a repository of past entries, beginning with December 2021. As you can see from the chapter names below, each contest is built around a prompt. In general, these are all unrelated stories, unless otherwise specified in Author's Notes. If a story won an honor, I will describe that in the author's notes.

The majority of entries are Equestria Girls stories, with a few FiM and G5 entries mixed in. All entries are either E- or T-rated.

Enjoy! New entries added at the end of each competition.

Sunny Starscout and her friends brought magic back to all of Equestria. As it turns out, ponies aren't the only ones who benefit from that.

A short G5 story I wrote because I felt like it.
Thanks to Roxylalolcat for pre-reading, and for the cover art.

Teleportation - the best way to travel! Not many unicorns master this ancient spell, and even among those who do, the details of how exactly it works remain a mystery. Some even fear what it may or may not do to the caster, but nopony knows for sure.

After much studying, it is time for Twilight Sparkle to perform the spell for the first time. A simple test: Just move from Point A to Point B. But Twilight is about to find out that there is more to teleportation than she thought.

A lot more.

Set prior to the show canon.
Inspired by (but completely unrelated to) Ocalhoun's story Blink.

On Earth, the gun-wielding cult Spotless Light has been cultivating for years faces down the prospect (and the demand) of traveling back to his war-torn home reality much sooner than he expected, this time with the herd of faithful he'd taken into the fold.

After being constantly left alone because of her husband's work, Derpy often has to play the role of a single mother. We get to see how Derpy's life unfolds as a mother of two kids and the wife of a Time Lord.

(Takes place after the events of season 5)

Marianne Evergold is a kind-hearted girl with strange tastes, for she's the only person she knows whose favorite character is... Diamond Tiara. Snotty, bratty, childish, and vain? Perhaps. But she adored her all the same. The confidence with which Tiara carried herself was something she never had. In her eyes, Tiara was truly graceful and picturesque. And while she understood that drama needed a conspirator and Tiara was just the natural calling card for the show's writers, she never liked the idea that she was truly evil. So when the show ended its last season with her being turned to stone for her years of villainy and almost bringing Equestria to ruin... Mary could not accept it.

The only thing she could never understand was... why did they never give her a proper redemption? It always felt like they would. Yet they never did. And if by some miracle they ever did, she would never get to see it.

For she finds she awakes one day in the lands of the colorful Equestria. Far from home. So very far from friends. And so, so very far from family.

And in the horseshoes of Diamond Tiara herself, no less.

But at least she has a goal now. To save Tiara from that fate. Already with a history of bad blood halfway into the show, it would be no easy feat to redeem her as no one would allow her the opportunity after many years of treachery. But Mary vowed to never give up on Diamond Tiara and would keep to her promise come what may.

All while Tiara herself sat back silently in her mind, sealed from being able to take control of her own body again and watching it all unfold.

The cover art was drawn by DamayantiArts for this story. Consider supporting her work if you like it.

Tensions had been brewing in North Zebrica for a long time. With the destruction of the Storm King giving them an excellent opportunity, Chiropterra, a secretive state of slavers and zealots, invaded Tobuck and the tribes of the Imazeeb. Their expansion wasn't ready to stop there and the next target seemed to be the ancient Kingdom of Warzena.

The Nightmarist came in the dead of the night, intent on spreading their dogma and their cruelty. The invasion of Warzena was supposed to be a lightning quick war which would extinguish the dying kingdom once and for all. The last domino to fall in the dominance of the Nightmare! But it was not meant to be.

Instead of the lightning war against a group of squabbling and unprepared zebras, the Chiropterrans found themselves up against stiff resistance. The Warzenin people, humiliated once at the cruel hands of the Storm King, would never again allow themselves to be conquered! With the assistance of Hippogriffia, the line holds. For now. Every day, the Nightmareist and the opportunistic Sufrit of Colthage gain more ground in Warzena and Zumidia. Every day, the seemingly inevitable draws closer.

To most outside of North Zebrica, the war is a mere distraction to the greater conflicts brewing on Equus and Griffionia. But not all are content to leave the light of Harmony snuffed out by cretin authoritarians and hate filled zealots. Some would give their lives for such a cause.

As the king of Warzena declared for all the world to hear: "Warzena Is Not Yet Lost!"

Based on the popular Hearts of Iron 4 mod, Equestria at War

What does time mean for one that is timeless?

For the one named Galatea, it does not concern her much. For as long as she has remembered, she has been given a few tasks to carry out as Mother willed it - to observe this world, and learn from it, too. And she has been given all the time in the world to see it through, for the good of her land and people.

Or, perhaps, in some ways, it does matter. Time changes everything after all, including what one makes of it. And, just maybe, her purpose isn't so set in stone as she thought it was.

9.5/10 and 9.17/10 from the Reviewer's Mansion.
