In an effort to burying her past as a ruthless Cutie Mark stealing dictator, Starlight Glimmer asks Rarity for a favor: to give her a new hairstyle that reflects her personality change. *Special thanks to Luminaura of Deviantart.com for the cover art.

Rarity has a problem with the way Spike snuggles with her at night. Instead of holding her in his arms like she wants, he simply lays on top of her, smothering her every night. She hates to do it, but she waits until he falls asleep and then pulls herself out from under him, curling up into a small ball in what space is left on the bed. She knows things have to change, but after she brings up the subject, she fears that she may have just done more damage than good.

On her way home one evening, Sunset Shimmer is jumped. Beaten and broken, she must now try and reintegrate back to her normal life, all while living under the constant fear her attackers will return to finish the job. As her mental condition worsens, it soon becomes apparent this is one problem that a blast of rainbow magic won’t solve...

This story is a sequel to She Took my Hand and Said...

After the night of the great Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer dates Twilight and she decides to do what she promised weeks before: taking her to a date, their first official one. It was going to be perfect! But something is bothering Twilight, something in the corners of her mind. And her knight in leather jacket was there for her.

Sweetie Belle is getting to be that age. She's thinking thoughts she never thought before. One such thought is about babies; Where exactly do they come from?

And why is it so difficult to find the answer to that question?

Octavia Melody enjoys a nice, quiet moment to herself until her housemate shows up. This is why we can't have nice things.

(A request from A Man Undercover who originally wanted to do the idea but eventually gave it up for adoption. Takes place right after "Amending Fences" for obvious reasons.)

Although Twilight's trip back to Canterlot to reconnect with (and apologize to) her old friends was a big success, there was one friend she didn't get a chance to see: Lyra Heartstrings.

Even knowing that her old friends don't bear a grudge against her, Twilight is still determined to apologize to Lyra just in case. And since Lyra lives in Ponyville, Twilight sees an opportunity.

Upon returning to Ponyville, Twilight seeks out Lyra in order to have a talk. But how did Lyra view Twilight's behavior in the past? Is it possible that she holds a grudge like Moondancer did?

I laid awake, staring at reflected light from the window on my ceiling.  Tomorrow was going to be important, I knew I should try to sleep, but it was being difficult.  On the other side of the upper floor she slept, in that room for the last time. It was never going to happen, but I worried that my breathing, maybe even my heartbeat, would wake her.

I spent the whole time thinking, about our past together, the good times, the fights, everything we said we would do together.  I remembered it all, and one by one, let it go. It didn’t matter anymore, none of it. Tomorrow, Vinyl Scratch was going to leave, and I would never see her again.

Story is canon only up to the end of Season 4. This story also uses the original fanon last name for Octavia, because I like it better.

On the night of the Crusaders' cute-ceañera, Rarity and Applejack confide in each other about their little sisters' new marks, and the changes that come along with them.

When Celestia and Luna took over the sun and moon, they came with manuals.

Now, as they browse the manuals, they find 'extra settings'.

Now, what do they do—

screams are heard in the distance
