Prince Blueblood is the most eligible stallion in Equestria. All the mares know it (as do a measureable percentage of the other stallions, but that's not exactly a problem). The problem is, Blueblood knows it as well, which is why he's decided to be the perfect boor at social events, under the assumption that only the most worthy mare would trouble herself with his loutish behavior and prove herself worthy of his attention, affection, and sizeable fortune.

It wasn't a particularly good decision, but then again, he was raised to be Eligible, Handsome, and Intelligent, but not Wise, which is why our story begins in the aftermath of a Particular Grand Galloping Gala, wherein our frosting-covered hero sets his first hoof on a path that, if he's very, very lucky, might see him imprisoned for life married.

No matter what happens, he is, most likely, doomed.

On the day Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are to give self-defence lectures to Ponyville’s earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi, Discord asks them to help him clean up a mess he’d left behind before he’d been turned to stone by the Royal Pony Sisters. This leaves Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to try and give defence lessons in place of the smartest, strongest and fastest members of Ponyville’s Royal Taskforce…

Starry Nights thought she was a relatively normal pegasus. Sure she was dating a batpony, had an obsession with the night sky, and had been suffering from recurring nightmares since she was a foal, but besides all of that she was a completely normal pegasus. That was until she was sent by the magazine she wrote for to cover the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration, then her life was flipped upside down.

With Nightmare Moon's return, Starry is now trapped in the middle of a civil war between Nightmare's forces versus what remains of the Solar Guard. She is now forced to confront her destiny set in motion a millennia ago, and discover who she truly is. But she is not without help as Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, a mysterious spirit, and others assist on her journey to activate the Elements of Harmony, and defeat Nightmare Moon.

Twilight Sparkle brings the plagues unto Canterlot when Celestia turns the others of the mane six to stone.

The memory stone was gone, and Wallflower Blush had the chance to start again. I'll guide her along the path that she never saw before. She'll see the beauty of it, she'll grow with it... I'll make sure nothing bad happens to her.

"I'll keep her safe."

What a joke.

It's almost time....the contract has just one stipulation left. Just...one. After that...well Discord gets to make good on the promise he made to Fluttershy all those years ago,he promised her she would live on through more than just memory,but she made him sign a contract. It's so tempting to give that last part a tiny little push...but he knows better,the stipulations must happen naturally...but still,the wait has driven him sane.

Before Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy could head back home, the Hoofield and McColt families wanted the two to join them for a shared feast to celebrate the new bond between their families. And during that celebration, Twilight happens to find a stack of old letters in the basement of the McColt family fortress.

Letters between Grub Hoofield and Piles McColt.

Seeing that they were written before their feuds, Twilight decides to share them with the families to help unite them even closer. However, things might become awkward when the Princess begins to read them out loud.

I want to thank my buddy Zyrian for proofreading.

This story is a sequel to Missing Pages & Scrawled Footnotes

Before Equestria was founded and long before the Tribal Era was another age of adventures and prophecies. These are the tales of those times; the sagas of old gods and first mortals living lives of myth and magic.

All pieces are rooted in the Iceverse. This off-shoot of 'Missing Pages' holds all the pre-history goodness that never made it beyond these chapters. No short is scrapped or incomplete and any spoilers are noted in the author's notes. Pieces range from [E] to [T] and will generally contain magical combat the (hence violence tag) and traditional fairy tale and mythology grittiness (hence the teen rating and death tags). Tags do the best to reflect as much content as possible; expanded tags would include: OC, other, yaks, Smooze, Buffalo, griffins, zebra, mules, donkeys, and windigo. Updates whenever I have writing stories to add. Contribute to the TVTropes page!

Octavia takes her younger sister on a journey that shows the true meaning of Christmas. Her gift stays with her as a powerful inspiration for the rest of her life.

(This is a parody of a christmas story that is found here:

I also made Octavia Silver Spoon's older sister,just go along with it. Happy Christmas everypony!)

The ASD, or Arcane Spells Division, is Equestria's first line of defence against magical threats. Twilight used to be a part of the ASD, but after moving to Ponyville, she had long ago left that life behind her. But this kind of life isn't the kind you leave behind.
