Starlight Glimmer's attempts to stop the Rainboom pulled Twilight Sparkle into many possible timestreams.

In one, Rarity and Rainbow Dash survived Nightmare Moon's victory over the forces of light, eventually attaining positions of prominence and comfort in the Nightmare's service. But when the unexpected visit of an Alicorn and Dragon sheds light on a growing conspiracy against the wicked mistress of the night, Rarity and Rainbow Dash may yet be inspired to risk what they have gained to join the fight for a better world.

Yet darkness lingers even in the hearts of some who would oppose the Nightmare, and not all agree on what a better world would look like...

This story is a sequel to Spike's Mark

In “Spike’s Mark”, Spike confessed his love to Rarity and gave her a Mark of Love. It was supposed to be a ‘Happy Ending’. However, Rarity’s adventure was just beginning. Starting where Spike’s Mark left off comes the next chapter In Spike and Rarity’s relationship. A tale of romance, drama, and humor. One that will make you both laugh and cry just like its predecessor. It will most certainly have moments that touch your heart...I guarantee.

In this story, you will see most of the Mane 6 return as well as Sassy Saddles, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and a few other special side characters from the series. You will learn how Rarity’s family reacts to Rarity dating Spike. You will hear the tale of how the Carousel Boutique was first created. You will see special moments where sisters bond together…and playfully team up against a little dragon.

But the big question will be the ultimate choice Rarity must make.

Confronted with the fact that some ponies still fear dragons and the idea of a pony and dragon being together is considered ‘unnatural’, Rarity must choose which path to take. Finding the love she has searched for or fulfilling the dream she always desired. Can such a union truly exist or will Rarity lose her Spikey-Wikey?

Spoiler Alert if you have not read “Spike’s Mark”. Fortunately, you do not need to have to read “Spike’s Mark” to enjoy this story since all the side characters will be learning about the events as well.

Sassy Saddles and Coco Pommel have a week to prepare extravagant dresses for an upcoming festival. Within a couple of minutes, everything goes wrong, and no one knows how to approach their task.

Rarity has an idea; a fantastic idea! If clothing accented with crystals could be made beautiful, clothes made entirely out of crystal would be even more beautiful!

When she began creating them and working on a way to make it happen, she found out the stones were singing to her. Her work beneath Canterlot became not just an exercise in visual beauty, but in sound! As her work continues and near fruition, she brings Sassy with her upon request to see the final product.

Sassy finds it unpleasant. As Rarity continues her work, Sassy begins to question it, and finds out it's not as innocent as she might think.

As a pony working the world of high fashion, Rarity knows how important reputation is. That's why she strives to make sure every client feels cared for - and that her employees do the same.

The only trouble is that a few ponies are raving about the dresses Rarity personally designed for them.

Ponies that Rarity has no recollection of meeting.

I had earned an opportunity to work for one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I had been bad luck before. I had lost my scholarship because of my special talent with needles. My employers, had lost their businesses despite my best efforts. Could I accept this opportunity where I might again hurt somepony, this time somepony important? I needed help when, one fine Canterlot spring day, a friend unexpectedly walked into my life.

Pants are taking over Ponyville! PANTS!

This story is an entry in Racc's Crack Storm!

Shortly after settling down in Starlight's Village, Sassy Saddles realizes the cutie-markless life isn't for her. Unfortunately, she has a marefriend now, and she won't leave without her.

Written for the Quills and Sofas May pairings knockout contest from 05/19/2023 to 05/21/2023.
This story was randomly assigned a pairing, which ended up being Sassy Saddles x Sugar Belle.

Sassy Saddles and Rarity are exploring in the Everfree Forest, and Sassy Saddles leads Rarity to something deadly and makes her relax in it until she disappears.

With end-of-year exams at the School of Friendship taking much of her time and energy, Ocellus the changeling has been feeling tired and stressed. Her friends offer to take her to Canterlot for a break, but Sandbar has an even better idea - a romantic dinner at the Tasty Treat.

Once again, this story was requested by chazkopa, whom I would like to thank for giving me an excuse to write an Ocelbar-centred fanfic. I was thinking of doing one anyway, and I may do one set in the Locoverse at a later date, but for now, this has allowed me to indulge in one of my two Young Six OTPs (sorry, Yonabar fans).

The basis for this story, again, is a picture by 13mcjunkinm which I've adopted as the cover art. Another artwork that came to light while I was working on the story, and which I've worked into the narrative, is this.
