Ficlet: "The Kid In Room 8-C" (also proof that Patch is still alive) · 10:20pm May 14th

"Pardon us, young filly," the brother with the mustache begins, "but we couldn't help but notice you out here and we couldn't help wondering--"

People Say Friends Don't Destroy One Another: Musings On "In Your Nature" · 1:58am Oct 2nd, 2023

If Cozy Glow were a normal foal, she might have cried, and if Tirek were someone besides Tirek, he might have offered comfort. But they were only who they were. Thus, the three of them stood in their awkward circle around a heap of dirt piled on a dead vermin, and nobody said anything.

Can I Get There By Rainbow Light? Yes, There And Back Again · 5:22pm Oct 11th, 2019

Molly was stroking the unicorn's throat as timidly as though she were blind. She dried her grimy tears on the white mane. "You don't know much about unicorns," she said.”
