Rinnaul


I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

This story is a sequel to Idle Claws


Well. It wasn’t that big a deal. He’d just put the sun out.

And now it was just a matter of causing enough chaos to recover his magic to a point where he could fix it.

Without causing so much chaos that he'd actually be in trouble for it.

All before Celestia woke up and noticed.

Discord was in for a long night.

In the wake of Tirek's attack on Equestria, the last thing the princesses could have expected was a broken and exhausted Chrysalis appearing in Canterlot seeking their help — except for her connections to Luna's past and Twilight's ascension.

Thanks to Rocinante and Asilin for prereading, editing, and suggestions.

Sometimes forum discussions and chat conversations give Rinnaul dumb ideas that don't merit full stories, so he just types them up wherever it is he's posting and inflicts them on whoever he's talking to.

This is an attempt to collect these assorted flashfics, vignettes, extended jokes, and other miscellany.

Also other short pieces might show up in here sometimes, particularly if comments on existing ones inspire them.

A broad, clear path runs through a deep wood on the far side of Ponyville.

No one goes there.

Four young colts want to know why.

Royal Guard Silver Birch knows Princess Luna's history, and her... extreme reactions to being neglected in the past. When it seems Luna has been snubbed yet again, he and his partner Winter Garden take action to shield their Princess from this slight, and spare Equestria her terrible wrath.

(Inspired by a really dumb blog I did.)

It's been a few years, but it finally happened. Rarity finally told him it just wasn't gong to work out. Now all Spike wants to do is sit in his room and wallow in his misery. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash has other ideas. After all, she needs a partner for the Equestrian Unity Challenge and he could use some time away from home. Of course, making a partnership work is hard enough without the introduction of unexpected rivals or unexpected feelings.

(Written for the fourth SpikeDash competition. As this is under some constraints as a contest entry, this may see later expansion.)

(Thanks to Rocinante for pre-reading/editing.)

Ditzy Doo hesitates to eat a muffin, and then Twilight and her friends debate ethics. These events are related.

(Inspired by "Do You Want to Go Skateboards?" by Takarashi282, who I felt missed the more obvious crossover point. Both stories based on this youtube thing.)

Someone or something clearly wants Button Mash dead. Or, at least, wants him to know that it wants him dead, what with all of the deadly circumstances followed by second chances.

It will take all of his wits and metagaming ability to survive this.

Or he could learn his lesson and apologize, but consider who we're talking about here.

(Inspired by, but otherwise unrelated to, Obs's latest meme. Gore tag as a precaution—descriptions of it are going to be pretty short and clean.)

I like to write poems. They are about rocks. My sister says I should try writing about things other than rocks. I don't see the appeal, but Pinkie is very insightful.

Pinkie said buttons are a popular topic lately, and they should be paired with something ending in "ash".

Button squash end in "ash". They are not rocks, but I like them.

This is about button squash.

(I'm late to the bandwagon, but I can't resist a stupid idea when I'm procrastinating on a more important project.)

Celestia hadn't expected to spend her afternoon doing anything more than filling out typical paperwork. When she's interrupted by a small ball being rolled around by an even smaller creature, she didn't imagine that this would derail her entire day.

The thing is, small problems can quickly turn into large ones.

Particularly when that problem is a katamari.

(Oneshotober 2014—A random Katamari crossover because Asilin has recently been trying to get 100% on Katamari Forever.)
