No one is without some scars. Some are on the surface, and fade with time, but others run deep, and may never fully heal. And any number of things can cause those scars to reopen.

Quiver Quill's scars run deep, deeper than even his closest friends in Ponyville are aware of. And thanks to helping to organize a class assignment at Ponyville Elementary, his scars will start to come to the surface thanks to interacting with a filly who's caused quite a few scars of her own - Diamond Tiara. His interactions with her will lead to both of their collective scars coming to the fore, and force them to see the results of their actions.

This story contains elements from the episodes "Twilight Time", written by Dave Polsky, "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", written by Amy Keating Rogers, and the comic story "Don't You Forget About Us" from issues 38-39, written by Christina Rice with art by Agnes Garbowski.

The outbreak of Covid-19 has certainly caused a huge change in the status quo. Several shops, and non-essential businesses have all closed up leaving many without the income they need. Such an example is poor Sunset Shimmer. Luckily she does have another option thanks to her streaming career. Of course it has also affected her friends, and some of the Shadowbolts as well.

This story is a sequel to Piece of Cake?

On their quest to spread friendship at the strict Crystal Prep Academy, Sour Sweet, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest decide to throw a party on school property. After all, what better way is there for the students to losen up and get to know each other than at a nice, fun party?

Though for the party planners themselves, the night might turn out to not be quite as nice and fun as they had wished...

The Friendship Games are still fresh on everyone's minds - likely due to the near destruction of the universe and all such?

Since then, months have passed and things have certainly changed. Twilight Sparkle, for her part, has not only changed schools but practically become a whole different person.

But let's face it: we really messed up back then, didn't we?

Written for Bean's Writing Group as part of the bi-weekly prompt.

Prompt: A Shared Meal
Bonus Prompt: main character is powerless in the scenario

This story is a sequel to Revolution in Blue!

An act of villainy has left Crystal Prep Academy in utter chaos! As one of the few pleasures of their school is taken away from them the students seem to finally snap under the pressure of their hard education. When Dean Cadence fails to bring peace and order back to the noble elite school, Sour Sweet takes it into her hands to solve this mystery and bring down justice on the culprits. With the help of her fellow Watsons Shadowbolts, will the self-proclaimed Sherlock Holmes be able to solve this mysterious crime? Or is her ingenious mind actually just full of hot air?

Meeting family can be difficult. No body knows this as much as Sour Sweet. Getting to Meet Second's cousin Third wasn't just difficult, but it was like being stuck inside of a Jerry Springer Episode, without Jerry being there.

Again inspired by Nico-Stone Rupan's Sour Sweet Stories. The use of 'Second' and his family has been done with his permission. This is what happens when I just let my mind wander and give myself free reign to just type.

After more than a few missteps, Sunset Shimmer's cousin Sunrunner has arrived in Ponyville to reunite with her old friend Quiver Quill. But events are transpiring that will lead to her having quite a few meetings and reunions before her visit is over, as well as the two facing their mutual past.
