Gallus wants to ask Silverstream to the Amity Ball their sophomore year without embarrassing the both of them to death. Silverstream wants that, too, but neither of them has any idea how to even talk about what they want without causing the aforementioned death by embarrassment.

Fortunately, the Spirit of the Tree of Harmony wants to help. Though "fortunately" might be the wrong word...

My entry in Miller Minus's Young Six Story Contest, this story got first place! And much thanks to Pascoite for giving it a good going-over beforehand.

The Astral Plane is a place of cosmic peace and serenity, a realm of gentle mists and alien but not unfriendly stars. Mortals who access it do so only after reaching a pinnacle of spiritual development and enlightenment, where those who have reached the peak before them may ease their transition to a higher state of existence.

However, immortals have an easier time of things, which can lead to rather less enlightened conversations.

Spoilers for S8E13, "The Mean 6." Rated Teen for discussion of realities that are rated Mature.

A thousand years ago, the Pillars of Equestria imbued six crystals with their magic - the essence of their souls - and planted those seeds to bring about a brighter future.

Over time they sprouted into the Tree of Harmony, which became the base of Equestria's power and prosperity.

Now the Tree would like to meet its parents.

This story is dedicated to Rambling Writer who did what I honestly totally forgot to do and got the Tree of Harmony added as a character tag.

And now with a reading by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan!

Rainbow Dash has managed to get herself into yet more trouble: following a crash that killed stunned the Gift Givers of the Grove, she is being forced to take up the mantle of the Spirit of Hearth's Warming.

Trapped in the hell of delivering gifts for the rest of eternity against her will, she has only one solution: taking the Grand Council of Holidays to court to dispute the Rule of the Clause and free her.

Unfortunately, she doesn't actually know any lawyers.

Also unfortunately, her best bet for a substitute is Starlight Glimmer.

A well-led life runs into an end. If that was it, it would have been fine, but the forces of the universe were not content, finding another purpose, or perhaps reward, for this being in another world entirely. May she shine gently.

(A one shot idea based on this beautiful comic, takes place in an AU post Season 8 due to (Spoiler Alert!) the Season Nine trailer revealing the Tree of Harmony will be destroyed.)

Twilight Sparkle thinks she knows everything there is know about the Tree of Harmony and the map within the castle that it spawned. So she is surprised when the map calls her alone to the Tree of Harmony's location.

It is there that the Tree of Harmony reveals a secret known only to Twilight's students, it has taken on a physical form and gained sentience. Taking the form of Twilight herself, the tree wishes to talk with the young princess about many details.

Much will be revealed as the Tree of Harmony shares in its experiences, and Twilight will be left with a sense of perspective, both on the tree's role and the role friendship plays in promoting harmony throughout the world.

Just as Fluttershy is about to go have a picnic with her animal friends, her flanks start blinking, signaling that she is needed somewhere else. And while they understand it's important, said friends are really getting annoyed with a certain tree that keeps calling her for help.

It's time to tell it to stop!

EFNW 2023 Iron Author Entry.

There are three of them, all Alicorns living to the desert land south of the Everfree Kingdom, which is the land that will one day be Equestria. They are a family of three: an elder sister and the younger kin she raised long before Celestia and Luna had even been born.

Elinora of the White Flame rules wisely, alone until the others are of age and get their marks. Hasad is charismatic and an excellent mediator. Stellaura is nervous, paranoid, and wants nothing more to be like her brother and please everyone, including herself by overcoming her inferiority complex. All of them have their own wishes for the world.

Only one of them will have their wish fulfilled.
