Nightmare Moon has won, and the world has been shrouded in eternal night. But hope still lives. The land of Equestria is currently divided between the armies of the usurper and those of the Dawn Militia. However, the greatest danger to the rebellion may not be the dreaded Mare of the Moon, but her lieutenant, Eclipse–formerly known as Twilight Sparkle.

After a fatal injury Rainbow Dash is given a second chance at life. Although it comes with a much darker and troublesome position than she was prepared for. She must struggle against this new role and discover a peace for herself and others as she learns that not all gifts are good ones. .

A tale in which a pony must come to terms with the possibilities of death as it is and not only as it seems. for within the confines of a new role one may discover for themselves that they are more than what they do. Sometimes it takes the help of an old friend to finally come to terms with reality.

Winter has come early this year, and after a long night out rounding up her animals in the face of Rainbow Dash's "awesome" snowstorm, Fluttershy is oh so cold.

But the worst of it is that Rarity knows exactly which pony Fluttershy wishes would come along to warm her up.

Pear Butter and Bright McIntosh have recently passed. What remains of the Apple Family find themselves caring for their newest family member. But they can't do everything to provide for the new foal on their own.

An ad is placed.

A position is filled.

But loss is a thing that affects each individual differently. And new faces can be both a curse and a blessing.

Royal Canterlot Library feature and an interview.

Featured in Twilight's Library for November of 2020, thanks so much!

A random question about who's the better baker - Pinkie Pie or Applejack - leads the two Earth pony friends to think back to when they were fillies and how they met, became friends, and learned to bake from one of Ponyville's most notable bakers.

A conversation with Applejack spurs Fluttershy to check up on Twilight's mental well-being. Twilight's reaction to her encouragement, however, is probably not what she had in mind...

Life is hard for Applejack, because she's a farm pony, because she's an earth pony, but mostly because her body is composed of enigmatic and mysterious dark matter. Some days in particular are just not good for a super-heavy pony with her own gravitational pull.

After a long day of work, Applejack mourns her parents' passing.

Applebuck season is coming up, and Big Mac is unable to help due to another injury. Not wanting a repeat of the last time she tried to do all the work herself, Applejack goes to ask all her friends to help out.

Surely at least some of her friends will be able to help, right?

Standalone sequel: Apple Butter

Upon discovering that her brother has a fillyfriend, Applejack is making her mission to find out who this mystery mare is. Joining her on this mission is her best friend, Rainbow Dash.
