What happens to ponies when they die? Do they go to a good place? A bad one? Somewhere in between? Twilight hasn't been sure, but now that she's here... Well, she frankly still isn't sure.

Written for the Quills and Sofas "Coffee Shop AU" speedwriting contest. Published at the behest of Zontan. The author bears no ill will to any of the mentioned franchises and asserts they were merely the easiest ones to make horse puns out of.

On the eve of being frozen in stone like her co-conspiritors in evil Tirek and Chrysalis, Cozy Glow gets an unexpected guest from her recent past who wants to plead her case. What follows is... surprising to say the least.

Equestria is peaceful.

Everything is perfect. Or at least, it will be. One day. Every little event will go exactly as planned, and life will go on in nearly perfect harmony. Equines and Griffons and all sorts of races living together in peace.

With only one, teensy, tiny bit of a miscalculation.

It has been a thousand years since the shadows of Equestria were cast back into the void from which they came, with broken dreams laid to rest or forgotten and scarred hearts healing ever so slowly, the whole world itself had more or less moved on with the needless marring on its own history, and evolved to be far more peaceful.

But they didn't catch every bit of darkness.

A thousand years later, not a King Of Darkness, not an heir, not a tyrant, but a lost little 'prince' returns with nothing more than his forgotten title and a few scattered subjects, and with his return, it would seem as if the turmoil of the world begins once more, as the princesses suddenly disappear.

Now follow the aftermath of a thousand years of hiding as Twilight Sparkle and the mysterious new interloper soon begun a hunt for the shattered vault of a long forgotten people. One, trying to piece together the history of a new world, the other only trying to plunder it.

This story will be a reboot of my original story with an entirely new direction and story. We delve into the life of a peculiar farmer woman, thrust into a foreign world through some cosmic mishap. Clearly out of place, she finds herself devoid of the ability to sense the presence of anyone familiar. Instead, she keenly perceives the gazes and whispers of the forest enveloping her. Lost and directionless, she struggles to find her bearings amidst this unfamiliar terrain.

Luna has been more tired than usual. Celestia is worried about her wellbeing, so she asks Anon for his help, not only because she's been extremely busy with her royal duties, but also he's dating Luna, so it makes the most sense for him to help. What Anon discovers makes him wonder if pigs do really fly.

They don't, but hey, could you really blame him for asking?

Sometimes the best stories come from the most unlikeliest of encounters.

In 'Rich in Flowers, Unlucky in Love', one of the flower girls struggles with her growing feelings for a customer, suffering as she watches him stumble into romantic disaster after disaster.

In 'Perspective', Pony Joe shares with one of his customers a tried-and-tested method for resolving a Code Sparkle(otherwise known as a pre-test meltdown).

In 'Late to Class', Lemon Hearts is quite excited to be filling in for an injured professor... until an unexpected student appears in her roster.

And in 'Historical Inaccuracy' Sunny and Zipp go on a scavenger hunt through history to answer a pressing question: is it even possible for one of Sunny's ancient heroes to have had an extramarital affair?

These four stories were written as part of the Quills and Sofas 'May Pairings' contest, where prompts were given matching ponies that didn't have much of a chance to interact onscreen. It was quite fun and challenging. Pre-reading help provided by the Quills and Sofas participants, as well as horsetorian and Celestilune.

(Tags are for brief mentions of alcohol consumption and discussion of an extramarital affair)

Diego had been living in Equestria for a little less than a month. Well, that's what it says in all the documents for the last six months. In any case, his life was quite peaceful. Surprisingly, when all his neighbors lose things, he only gets more of them. Well, it's just an accident, right?

However, any lie is revealed sooner or later. And today this day has come, the day when Luna personally came to Diego's house. The day when justice will prevail. Unfortunately, there are two problems for the princess.

First, she was sent to do this during the day, when she did not even sleep properly and did not drink at least a pool of coffee.

And secondly, Diego is ready for this meeting.

Celestia loves her little sis - but family has a way of making it difficult sometimes when very bizarre secrets are unveiled.

Tonight is one of those nights.

There's not much to say about this stupid little thing. I was searching the archives for another greentext I wrote and stumbled back upon this one that I had forgotten about. It purely came about as a result of seeing the cover pic for the first time.

Luna, fresh off the moon, finds herself in a cruel world. Her own sister is too busy and too ignorant of her problems, guards and common ponies offend her with insulting names, and there seems to be no respect for her anywhere.

One night, something snaps in Luna, and she packs her things, boarding a train to a city across the country. Maybe with Luna gone from Canterlot, ponies will begin to feel the weight of their actions.

Takes place in an AU, somewhere between S1E2 and S2E4, where Equestria's rail infrastructure reflects the 1950's USA.
