After being stood up on a date, for the umpteenth time, the last thing Rarity wanted was a night at the carnival. Not when there was a bottle of wine and a pint or two of ice cream at home that desperately needed her attention. But Spike had been so earnest, so eager to please her, to make her forget her worries. And she never could say no to her little Spikey-Wikey.

Not even when it would have been the right decision.

Rated T for innuendo.

(Cover art is not fully representative of content; while there will be crying and ice cream and running mascara involved in the story, there probably won't be a fainting couch.)

*As of the final chapter, there is a fainting couch

Sunset Shimmer's been informed of the Cozy Glow debacle, and now she's worried about Cozy’s human counterpart. Is it wrong to suspect someone based on their parallel self’s sins? Snappy character vignette that gives equal POV time to Sunset and human Cozy trying to figure out just what the other’s deal is.

Teen rating for depictions of mental illness and Cozy’s casual use of crass language. Cover image made by me slapping some EG vectors on top of each other in Microsoft Powerpoint.

Rainbow Dash is a free spirit who often takes flights far away, without telling anypony where she’s going.  She’ll be gone for days at a time, and then return to Ponyville like nothing happened.  What does she do while she’s gone?  What draws her away?  Is it simply the call of the open sky, or something more?

Though some may try to mock this, as the student to the princess of this land, she is revered as one of the smartest and most amazing mares in the world. She even has the honor of defending the land, and going on adventures few even see in their dreams.

It is these dreams that for five years, Celestia has recorded, while looking over the human known as Twilight Sparkle.

Years ago, Coco Pommel rescued a young laborer in Manehattan's textile district when she was on a delivery shift for Suri. Realizing that every reformed villain or assistant needs a project, she sets out to adopt the filly, Babs Seed, as soon as Rarity leaves Manehattan. But between her daughter's troubled past, bitter relatives, and a disputing producer and director on her Bridleway set, Coco soon finds that giving love--and getting it--may be harder than anypony ever imagined...especially when it comes to forgiving herself.

One night, Princess Celestia had a very surprising vision concerning the Mane 5. When she, Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight realize the meaning of it, the Mane 5 will have their world changed forever. They learn that their biggest and toughest choices they will soon make will require immense sacrifice of what they knew, dreamed, and worked for. Ultimately, what they choose will not only affect them, but the ponies they care most about and all of Equestria.

Luckily, they have each other to learn how to be strong and willing to choose whatever choice they make in the future. Will they stay the same, or will they have to eventually rise to the occasion, embrace their true destinies, and join together to form the Princesses of Harmony?

This is a prologue to the series "The Alicorn Trials".

For many years Cozy Glow sat in complete darkness pondering her actions. Not even the voices of Chrysalis or Tirek kept her company. So instead, she made friends with herself, and even debated her choices, in the pitch black void of the subconscious. But one day, all of that mysteriously ends and Cozy Glow is instead greeted by an impenetrable light. The light of... Princess Flurry Heart? But even though Princess Flurry Heart has great plans for Cozy Glow and herself, plans that could herald a new age of a prosperous Equestria, Cozy Glow finds she simply wants to bake muffins.
