Lightning Dust’s life has been a perpetual mess. As she struggles to put her life back together and repair her relationships, the last thing she needs is another version of herself appearing on her doorstep: young, stupid, and ready to make the same mistakes all over again.

Based on the almost incomprehensible album Stomachaches by Frank Iero.

The attached documents are currently pending investigation from the Solar Corporation’s Risk Management Team.

The following documents were taken from the employee email communication servers and the AMIS Hard Drive post-incident, with personal notes filed under “private”.

Please note that the AMIS system should not have a “private” section of its hard drive. This security oversight is also under investigation.

Written for both Red Parade's FiddleDust Contest and Bicyclette's The Twilight Files Contest.

...oh. Apparently, I dozed off again. Why does my room look like a total wreck? Why are my eyes streaked with so many tears? And... and where is my girlfriend Lightning Dust?

And why does thinking of her make those tears start up all over again?

Unsubmitted submission for the Quills and Sofas Batponies 2 contest. Thanks to Sunlight Rays and Shaslan for reviewing it.

Strawberry Sunrise doesn't like apples. Have you ever wondered why?

Written for a crackship contest.

Fiddlesticks and Lightning Dust explore a ruined Manehattan.

Mapping Manehattan is a side project I picked up to challenge myself while I work on other projects. Mapping Manehattan is written with the following parameters: each chapter must be exactly five hundred words, there is no spoken dialogue, and everything is written in present tense.

The concept itself is fairly simple: Fiddle and Lightning explore a post apocalyptic Manehattan. Their journey takes them through the ruined buildings and abandoned city, meeting other survivors and scavenging supplies. The challenge lies on myself to deliver. Where ever they may go, whatever they may do, I hope you enjoy following them.

Updates Mondays and Wednesdays unless otherwise stated.

Submission in GMBlackjack's 'Depth in Innocence' contest. Updated rating from E to T to be safe, meaning that this story no longer qualifies.

Thank you all. I couldn’t have done this without you.

As the sun rises across Equestria, ten ponies muse on their lives. Princesses and farmers, fillies and athletes, they are as different as can be imagined. But for one fleeting instant, the common thread of the sunrise they watch links them together.

Written in 1hr 30 for the Character Sprint speedwrite in Quills and Sofas, came in second place.

Fiddlesticks is tired of falling and faded colors.

My entry for PonyFest Online 3.0's Iron Author event, refitted for the May Pairing 2020 Contest.

Written in two hours with the themes 'hippogriff culture, a hobby/career in the arts, and a rare fruit' (although my connections to these were sparse at best). Top ten finalist. Check out the other entries here!

Strawberry Sunrise makes some bold claims about her home-grown strawberries. The good citizens of Ponyville take these claims a tad too seriously.

Originally a Hearth's Warming gift for Red (<3). This version has been edited here and there, and the ending has been tweaked ;)

Lightning Dust would always be an angry monster that seeks to ruin Rainbow Dash's life whenever possible. At least, that's what Rainbow Dash told herself. So when she sees that Lightning Dust is dating a mare within the Apple Family, she comes to that exact conclusion. Instead of being proven right once more, she learns a valuable lesson about just how deserving of love "monsters" can be.

Written for The Red Parade for Jinglemas 2021.

Contains themes of self-resentment, healing, and Appledash friendship.

Fiddlesticks's life had been dull for years, and she always knew what to expect. Then she met Lightning Dust.

Third Place in the FiddleDust Contest.
