Starlight and Trixie don't get to talk a lot; Trixie's always traveling, and Starlight's always busy with her mentor, Twilight. And for the most part that's okay, because Trixie can catch up with Starlight whenever she comes back into town. Maybe it's a while between her stops in Ponyville, but that's okay, she doesn't really like the town all that much anyways. And the last time she tried to bring Starlight with her on a tour, there were a lot of problems.

But it's okay. Because Trixie has been thinking. She's had a lot of time to think, because there's not much else to do out on the road. Mostly about how to solve those problems.

After the once Great and Powerful showmare Trixie Lulamoon fails to take her own life, she falls into a comatose state, and shows no signs of waking up any time soon.

Twilight Sparkle vows not to leave Trixie's side until she wakes up. If she wakes up at all.

Warning: This is a sadfic. It does not have a happy ending. You have been warned.

Twilight Sparkle, becoming anxious at the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, which she believes marks the return of Nightmare Moon, beseeches Princess Celestia to do something about it.

Celestia, however, has another, more important task for her; making sure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes off without a hitch. Every year, a different town is chosen to receive the honor of hosting the grand festival.

And the lucky city chosen this year, for this fateful holiday, is none other than the city of Manehattan...

This story is a sequel to π

After Twilight Sparkle made her biggest secret public much earlier than she'd originally planned, the lives of the Element-Bearers and their closest friends somehow managed to become even more complicated than they already were. Yet despite the flurry of all of the added activity this brings, Princess Celestia decides to undertake a particularly ambitious project: the reformation of Discord. She delegates the task to Penumbra Noctis, who, more than anypony else, can empathize with the draconequus' situation, and who is therefore best suited to showing Discord the magic of friendship. On the surface, it's a very reasonable plan.

Unfortunately, Discord has never had much patience for reason.

This is the fifth and final story in The Petriculture Cycle. Reading the first four stories, which begin here, is highly recommended.

On the coldest night of winter, Trixie is wholeheartedly certain that her wagon would be able to keep her warm, but... she was wrong. Luckily for her, Starlight knows a very snuggly way to keep her warm.

In an Equestria where Discord never was, and the Pony Princesses never came to power, a young Twilight Sparkle loses her family in a crowd during the Summer Sun Celebration. Little does she know that her very existence is about to set a series of events into motion that will take her far beyond the borders of Equestria itself—and change the fates of both her nation and her life, forever.

For those in the know, the Equestrian Black Market is a treasure trove. It's well hidden, rarely open, and can only be entered with a special magical currency. And if none of those dissuade a cocky wannabe entrant, the inventory inside is far too edgy for the average Equestrian.

It's a wonder Trixie hasn't been banned from the premises yet.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Starlight bares her soul in the hopes of receiving some badly needed sympathy. She should have known better.

There is a mare who roams Equestria, showing her powerful unicorn talents to all the land so that they might be blessed by her magnificence. This mare is the Great and Power Trixie, the greatest unicorn alive! Trixie's talent is magic, so her magic is obviously the best in all of Equestria!
But... but Trixie is starting to doubt that other ponies think so... she's starting to think that maybe her parents were right.. Trixie... Trixie might be wrong...
Trixie is... I am, in trouble.
