Take a picture. It will last you a lifetime.

My story from the TrotCon 2018 Speed Fic panel. I used my laptop as my fingers still remember the pain of those typewriters I used, lo those many years ago. The prompts for this were Featherweight, Rainbow Dash and the Moon. What flowed out from my fingers was a cute little story about a tipsy mare helping out a friend.

Silver Spoon is a busy mare. So very, very busy. But she makes time for Diamond Tiara. Best friends and all that. And as Diamond's best friend, she's willing to take time out of one of her rare days off to meet with an old classmate as a favor.

It'll be nice to see Featherweight again. For business purposes. Yeah. Just business. Diamond surely didn't have any ulterior motives. Nope. Never. Not Diamond Tiara, nooooo.

Don't let the bad cover art fool you, this is set many years after the events of the show.

An idea inspired by a recurring element in PatchworkPoltergeist's The Silver Standard. Written purely for the sake of getting it out of my head.

Featherweight is just your average horny teenager whose daily routines includes stalking Diamond Tiara and sneaking into her backyard at night. Unable to hide his feelings any longer, he finds a way to grab her attention and win her heart.

Featherweight is excited to go to the fair. He is not too excited that Diamond Tiara is there, too. Especially after what she said in class. But he's got an idea or two.
There is no way this could end badly.

Originally written for the A Matter of Perspective writeoff.
Loosely connected with The Featherweight Files.

Trixie's Pilgrimage of Penitence (working title) wasn't supposed to be perfect. In many respects, the entire point of the tour had been to exhibit how the former showboat had changed for the better, even if that meant deliberately performing sub-par lest she be accused of boastfulness. Trixie had planned for almost everything to go wrong.

One thing she hadn't counted on was a dangerous lapse into depression, leading her to perform the Moonshot Manticore Mouth-Dive as the opening act without any safety measures. And while everything turned out more or less fine, the local newspapers are going to have a field day with this story.

Unless, of course, a credible source can swoop in and convince them she wasn't in any danger.

The Foal Free Press' weekly meeting/party was great. Except for the fact that somepony spiked the punch and now almost the entire crew is in the hospital vomiting. As editor, it's Featherweight's job to find the guilty one. Unfortunately, the only real suspect is Featherweight's friend and rival, former editor Namby Pamby. Featherweight doesn't want to believe it, but as his proofreader says, what wouldn't she do to get ahead?

UPDATE: COMPLETE! You may have heard of Pipsqueak. He's a pinto colt, originally from Trottingham, saved Nightmare Night from being abolished seven odd years ago. Know the one I'm talking about? Yes? Good. Since then he's grown into a charming, cultured hedonist who wants to bed near every mare in Ponyville and a good few of the stallions. He has a slender build and some ponies say he has mares' hips, though he feels that those ponies should shut their bloody mouths. His best mate is the gregarious and multi-talented Featherweight, and his other best mate is the stoic trencherpony and excellent cook Chowder.

This is the story of a Friday, and the wee hours of a Saturday. It's a teacher training day, and Pipsqueak and his friends have no school.

In twenty-four hours, a sinister plot to take down a local business is launched, Snips and Snails dabble in the dark magic of Peyuase, a great deal of debauchery occurs, a cocktail of unrivaled destructive power is created and a small fleet of ships are launched! All of this and more, in Pipsqueak's Day Off!

The second Trixie saw the girl with golden curls, she knew she had to have a piece of that.

Now how to go about getting it...

The Cutie Mark Crusaders and their class move on to high school! Well, middle school, but it's in the same building, so it counts, right? Tag along for the ride as fillies fight, colts fall in love, and everyone's favorite group of foals grows up.
Told from the perspective of various ponies; features the ponies and backstories of a few of my favorite works, both here and on tumblr.
