What's in a day? For most, it's twenty four hours. But sometimes it could be an eternity.

For some that's a nightmare. But for others it's not that bad. It just takes some getting used to...

A potential prequel to an extended story if this gets enough attention. Tagged for one loop that involves a suicide.

Ever since the later years of high school, Applejack had harbored a crush for her fashionable friend Rarity. But that was a couple years or so ago. Their group had graduated, moved on to further their education or begin their careers, still in contact but spread thin now.

Applejack hasn't heard from Rarity in a couple weeks, not a phone call, text or even a letter. But she could always go on up to Manehattan, visit her Aunt and Uncle Orange a bit and check up on the fashionista right? Maybe finally get something off her chest...

Or not. Where the sam hill is Rarity?

This is just a random little story idea I got in my head, actually inspired by a song. I won't tell you which and I'll just leave clues. Have fun, people who figure it out get a cookie. XD

Her service has ended, her armor removed and tucked away deep in a locked chest beneath her bed. But Fizzlepop Berrytwist hasn't escaped her past just yet. Memories of actions taken in the Storm King's service haunt the mare formerly known as Tempest Shadow.

But a tiny sparkle in the shadows lights the way to a new future.

A story written for my patrons, as voted upon by them.

A human named Jack recounts the tale of him and his best friend Tyler, who had gone through a series of tragic events, and their trip to an Equestrian orphanage in Canterlot.

While there, Tyler meets a timid, emotionally sensitive filly by the name of Bubblegum Brush, who had never known her parents. The two kindred spirits connect, and quickly form a strong, father/daughter relationship.

Ever since her first few visits at Ponyville, Babs has always found a fondness for Sweetie Belle. As she grew past her middle school years, however, she soon began to understand her fondness may lie more romantic. She is not in a situation to tell anyone. Babs refuses to open up to anypony. To her family who is just scraping to get by in the city or to her greatest cousins in Ponyville. Afterall, Sweetie Belle is a dignified mare, right? She would never mess around with a mare... Right?

The day had finally come.

Tempest was ready to return to her village, or so she seemed to be; but deep down she was frightened, afraid of the faces that would recognize her, uncertain if anypony she knew had remained, all the while sharing a similar pain with Starlight Glimmer. And now, only meters away from turning over a new leaf, Tempest falters, and leaves Starlight to help her find her courage to move forward.

Literally wrote this in three hours. I'm pretty proud of it to be honest.

Black Paint starts relapsing into depression for the first time in several years, restarting his old habit of cutting and even seriously contemplating suicide. After failing to go through with an attempt, he accidentally gives Flutttershy his suicide note at her birthday party. When she confronts him about it, she gets him to open up about his thoughts and find another way to cope with the pain.

This story is a sequel to History Lesson

New chapters added as I can. Apologies for the inconsistency.

History Lesson is strongly recommended as prior reading.
(Spoilers for History Lesson.)
(Duh.)

When Starlight Glimmer sabotaged the first Rainboom, she inadvertently created eight broken worlds. In this the eighth world, Chrysalis, Sombra, and a resistance led by the new Element bearers wage war against one another for control of Equestria. Princess Twilight Sparkle has tasked Starlight with restoring harmony, hope, and love to this version of Equestria; but with so much war, death, and destruction, can life ever return to the way it was supposed to be?

History Reimagined follows the path of a hypothetical eighth fallen timeline not depicted in Friendship is Magic.
