A chance to speak with those who are long gone is something that's hard to pass up. Sunny imagines what she could learn from the ponies of the past, what she could learn about the fate of ancient Equestria. Maybe she could even talk to her dad again.

Is that chance worth the risk of using magic she doesn't understand?

This story is a sequel to And Hell Followed

A plague ravaged Equestria, turning all of the unicorns and alicorns into bloodthirsty monsters bent on killing all the other races in a genocidal rage. A small cadre lead by the Elements of Harmony survived and persisted in Ponyville, and even managed to reverse it all at the cost of their lives.

Now Equestria must rebuild.

In Manehattan, Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna must find a way to ease racial tensions while keeping the teetering nation safe and also rebuilding the lost trust of the little ponies of Equestria. Elsewhere, Cheerilee and Scootaloo must find their way in this new world.

There are only two options left. Rebuild Equestria stronger than ever, or be scattered to the winds of history.

Rainbow Dash was accustomed to waking up in pain; being a Wonderbolt meant that at least some part of her was always sore. What she wasn't accustomed to was waking up in a cell in a world that's turned upside down.

In a place where everything seems wrong, she has to figure out just what she can trust. Is this a grand trick, or is this the world she's always known?

The world ended.

That, at least, is what it sounded like. Screaming, howling, and then deathly silence.

A month later, Cheerilee and Scootaloo emerge from their shelter in search of food. As they search among the dead bodies of their friends, only one question comes to mind:

Where are the unicorns?

My entry for Quills and Sofas' "Do I Know You?" panic prompt. Written in 30 minutes, edited in 10.

The Alogos Archipelago is rich in culture and history, dating back just as far as Equestria itself. Stories of heroes, gods, and monsters litter the little islands and saturate the very lives of the ponies who live and thrive there.

Some legends are better left alone, and some mysteries are better left undiscovered.

After an injury, Applejack wrestles with what it means to be Applejack.

This story is a sequel to A Scratch On Shining Armor

Seven years ago in the middle of Canterlot, under the light of the full moon, the world changed in ways it was not supposed to. Lovers were torn apart, and a pair of new ones were brought together. Through trials and tribulations, Shining Armor and Vinyl Scratch fell in love.

Now? They are still in love, but cracks are forming. Stress and work regularly cause divides, and Shining disappearing into a mission his grandmother tasked him with isn't helping. Everything seems to be falling apart, even Canterlot itself.
