Twilight has been very lonely, and has relapsed on an old habit. Fluttershy has been depressed and lonely for nearly her entire life, and hasn't been able to break her habit. When Fluttershy and Twilight both realize that their habit is a serious problem, maybe they will be able to heal together.

Warning: The following story you are about to read is currently unedited and contains some disturbing themes that may be too sensitive for readers. Viewer discretion is advised.

Editorial, a journalist for The Manehattan Times is tasked to go to one of the most haunted places in Equestria. In particular, to investigate a bridge that connects Ponyville to Appaloosa. Over the Gastly Gorge, when the moon is absent and the sky is dark, the location is known as "The Bridge of No Return" because those who dare to cross it end up disappearing. Even if there wasn't a paranormal reason for the disappearances, the reporter is determined to find the real reason why.

This is his findings.

Nathan Frédérick Nadeau Bergeron doesn't come from an ordinary family. They have resources—maybe even enough to survive the end of the world. As CelestAI gradually supersedes the instruments of human civilization, the greatest dangers are often entirely natural. But he's determined, determined to survive no matter what it takes. Nathan has given himself a mission: to record the end of humanity.

Now if only that pony would leave him alone...

A Friendship is Optimal story. Makes passing reference to my previous work in the universe, though reading it isn't required.

Updates daily until complete.

An outcast again thanks to Anon-A-Miss Sunset only wants the fighting to stop and her friends back, she does not care how. When her final plea of innocence to her friends fails she does one last desperate thing to get them back, confesses to being Anon-A-Miss. Now that she has her friends back things are looking up, even if she is hated again all that matters to Sunset is that life can finally go back to normal. Except it might never be.

A/N: This story context is slightly inspired by the fanfiction Confession by cerealkiller78 in that Sunset confesses to being Anon-A-Miss, the first chapter will have some similarities in it but that stops in the second chapter.
Suicide/Self Harm: Not much of it appearing in the story but it will be alluded to and mentioned.
Violence: Not the bloody full out fight violence, more of the bulling to small scuffle kind of violence.

(Note: This story is on temporary hiatus till further notice, It's not canceled, it will come back eventually. The story just got ahead of me, too much changed from the original plot and I still have not fully thought out the new ending. Some chapters might get some minor edits since some were still connected to the old ending and don't work anymore. This note will be deleted when the story is ready to continue.

Wallflower Blush has a hard time dealing with her suicidal thoughts.

After a wonderous flight around the Ponyville airspace leads Rainbow Dash to peruse the marketplace for anything that was just as awesome as she is, she comes across the brother of her best friend Fluttershy, Zephyr Breeze, a stallion she wanted as much to do with as being grounded from flying.

However, the multi-colored mare spotted that something was bothering the errant stallion, and as much as she dislikes him, he was Fluttershy's brother, and she didn't like to see him all... whatever that was plastered across his face, so she heads over to see what the problem was. Besides, the mare was sure that her very presence will knock the funk out of the stallion and bring him back to his usual insufferable self.

Little did she know that something was wrong with Zephyr, something very wrong.

This story is a sequel to A Day for Family

Friends and Family Day has come and gone, leaving behind both many happy families with a plethora of newly-forged, long-lasting memories, and one exhausted griffon with a multitude of hauntingly bad memories that he would rather forget.

Of course, he also made quite a lot of good memories as well. Funnily enough, almost all of them focus on a certain pink hippogriff. These are memories he wouldn't trade for the world.

Unfortunately, it's never really that easy even if Gallus wishes it would be. So while he may be in a far better place than he was before, he's still far from being as well as he could or wants to be.

Luckily, he has a great number of others, willing to stand by his side to help him heal. His teachers... His friends... Silverstream... All of the ones that he loves are standing with him as he makes his journey toward serenity. And while that long, arduous journey is still his to walk...

He doesn't have to walk it alone.

WARNING: Though the Suicide Tag is included, the act itself does NOT occur! In fact, it is added specifically because of Chapter Nine - and ONLY Chapter Nine - where the topic is brought up and discussed briefly.

All other chapters are devoid of any major discussions of the subject matter.

Anon E. Mous was doing well. He has a well-paying job working with Mayor Mare. He has a small little hole in the wall he called his house that he got with his own hard-earned bits. And...

...that's it. Friends? Little to speak of, but they were there. Somehow. In a world where friendship was magic, Anon experienced little of it, and worse, he's experienced how little he could earn of it. It had all started with a spark, and then nothing, nothing to the point of living in his house for the past few days under the guise of vacation.

Fortunately for him, somepony with a bit more gusto heard about his little hideaway and was more than interested in helping him get back on his feet. Not only that, she was there to make amends, if possible.

Unbeknownest to the two of them, life had an interesting way to show how interest worked both ways. Like a two-way mirror, no matter how different they were.

Warnings: RGRE themes, depression, and suicidal ideation. Sex tag added due to suggestive language.

Thank you all for your help!

The sensation has plagued her ever since she was a little girl.

It never goes away.

It hurts.

But most of all...

It burns.

This story is a sequel to The Mirror

Check out the blogpost to see the full Cozy Hero continuity this builds on.

It's time for Cozy Glow to get back out in the real world and figure out where she fits into Equestria. She's tried superheroics, supervillainy, and accidentally destroyed the world; now she has to try being normal. Yeah, probably not.

The story of a foal once thought beyond redemption, trying to find a way to fit into society and be okay with herself and her past. But this is not just Cozy's story; her actions and experiences will have a serious impact on the lives and directions of the many ponies she comes into contact with – especially her best friend, Sunset Shimmer, and her adoptive mother, Luna.

Serious thanks to Wanderer D for helping me with this. To say he was prereading would be a gross understatement. If you're one of the few people who haven't discovered him, what are you waiting for? Get over there and follow.

Thanks to Cackling Moron and Nyronus for prereading, your commentary and discussion helped keep this train running.

This story was written at a blazing fast pace for its size and complexity, and is, in many ways, my loveletter to MLP:FIM and the Brony community. Thanks to all of you for being here, being great people, and generally supporting each other.
