Something's happening. Cheerilee isn't sure what. All she knows is what she saw, and that's not much to go on—no more than a glint of flame on the dark horizon. Whatever it is, it's very far away.

The moon is high in the sky, but she doesn't plan on sleeping tonight. Instead, she will take her telescope, sit by the lake, and wait. Perhaps she will see more.

Thanks to Sierra Ex for letting me use his beautiful interpretation of a sonic rainboom for the cover!

He was a king. The mightiest unicorn to walk the earth since Starswirl the Bearded. The unicorn who defied the alicorn sisters five times and lived. He terrified an entire race into servitude, and cast fear and darkness over all of Equestria.

He is a shadow. And soon, perhaps, he's not even that.

Every hundred years, Luna departs from Canterlot to launch an inspection of the mighty prison complex known as Tartarus. This time, though, the new Chief Warden has something different in mind: he thinks it's high time somebody inspects the way Luna runs things.

She's got a feeling it's going to be a long week.

Thanks a ton to Silverguard for the awesome cover!

Story is canceled. I liked the idea, but I don't think it's going to work. If you want to see a good example of how NOT to write a musical story, read on!
A recent mission that ended in utter disaster threatens to tear Twilight and her friends apart, and it's happening at the worst possible time: A deranged reality-warping unicorn called "Bilious Brass" is launching an effort to revive Discord. If Equestria's greatest champions—and Trixie, whose bad luck has landed her right in the middle of the conflict—cannot overcome their doubts, the city of Canterlot will surely fall to Brass's insanity.

But even if they stand together, how can they hope to defeat Bilious when his full plan is known only to two cowardly con artists?

This story is set shortly before the events of Keep Calm and Flutter On. Thanks a massive lot to Silverguard for the spiffing cover!

A creeper tries to blow up Sugarcube Corner, but he doesn't count on a toothless, completely harmless alligator. Nor does he count on the wonders--and perils--of the pony concept, "friendship".
Cover by my sister. You can see more of her awesome work on her Deviant Art page.

A Jolly Spiffing Turn of Events: A very slightly irritating noble named Jolly Spiff wakes Fancypants in the early morning, reporting that the sun has mysteriously vanished. Comedy, Adventure.

Lost Magics: Fluttershy finds herself trapped in a strange world, with only an unfriendly sphere of shadow for company. Sad, Adventure.

Two Thirty Minute Pony Stories. Unedited beyond what was done during the challenges. Feedback is appreciated, but I won't actually be be editing these stories further unless I decide to do something with them. Still, I can always benefit from knowing what I did wrong! AJSToE was for Prompt #118, and Lost Magics for Prompt #119. Cheers!

Many years ago, before Granny Smith was called 'Granny' and before Sweet Apple Acres had quite so many acres to its name, the very few citizens of that tiny frontier town called Ponyville knew the Everfree Forest only for what exited it.

Those who chose to settle in Ponyville knew the risks in living so near to the wood. But when a pack of deaf timber wolves threatens to attack the town, it's up to four ponies to find a way to chase them off—or to find a new home.
