Canterlot. Once upon a time it was a golden city where it was the beating heart of Equestria's culture, power, and wealth - now abandoned. After magic was lost and the three pony tribes separated, it is long assumed that Canterlot was simply a mythical place - a legend where it probably didn't exist. Or if there were such a place, then it's more than likely that nopony has lived there for a very, very long time.

Nopony lives there anymore... Except for a very old unicorn. Who long believed that he might be the only pony left in the whole world. He passes the time by recovering and recording whatever music he could find. A Music Catcher of sorts.

His name is Inverno. And this, is his story.

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and follows more of a Twilight Zone episode.

What you are about to witness is a nightmare. Her name is Cozy Glow. Though she may be young, she is a genius manipulator, strategist, and child actress who has conned herself into the most significant role of all. She will be our guide into a world where “truth” and “lie” no longer have meaning. Where the darkest Machiavellian instincts are given free rein; and tolerance has become a thing of the past. With no one to balance out her newfound power, Cozy Glow can shape Equestria in any way she pleases, by whatever means necessary. Yet, this young tyrant will have to deal with the fallout of her own making. She will have no outside help within her borders… of The Twilight Zone.

WARNING: The following story you are about to read does contain m/m and the complicated life of a gay character from teenage to adulthood. If you do not like that sort of thing, you know where the exit button is.

Hoity Toity. In Canterlot he's known to be a well-respected fashion designer and critic. His line of work is a unique mix of old and new, experimenting with styles and colors to create something marvelous. All one has to do is walk by the window display of his shop where ponies would covet the latest design of clothes.

But in the fashion world, Hoity himself is somewhat of a mystery. Very few ponies know about who he was before his rise to fame. For the first time, this story had been pieced together by those who knew Hoity to give an exclusive inside look at the pony behind the clothes.

It's every student's worst nightmare, and it's happening to Gallus. Among all the stuff that he has to juggle at the School of Friendship, he had forgotten about the presentation for Twilight's class. Namely, to research and give a presentation in front of the class about a certain point in Equestria's history. If Gallus had more time, he should have been prepared. However, he decides that unless he gets up there to look like an idiot, he should at least try to wing it. He may remember about half of what he's learned, but it's better than nothing.

Honestly, he just hopes that Twilight wouldn't notice.

This story was something I had written several months ago... and then completely forgot about. I think I wrote this one night when I couldn't sleep, but I'm not sure. This is odd since I don't normally do stuff like this, but it's embarrassing I had this on my laptop for who-knows-how-long and did not post it. Well, to make that up, here it is.

Warning: The following story is currently unedited and contains scenes that may be too intense for audiences. Honestly, this is more of a thought experiment than anything, especially given the idea of a what if.

Zecora had created a monster.

What was originally meant to be a birthday present for Applebloom as a game that has influences of her home country has the potential to cause chaos and devistation. In the process of creating a cardless game with a gem that would read out random events, something had gone wrong. So in an attempt to dismantle the game, she turned to Twilight in hopes to use magical means to take it apart safely.

Unfortunately, Smolder and Gallus had discovered the game. And out of boredom, decided they should play it with their friends.

After all, it's just a game... right?

Shortly after the premiere of his sixth symphony, Pyotr Tchaicoltsky, composer of Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker is dying.

Seeing that he has nothing left to loose, he agrees to do it the day before he dies. What the old composer doesn't know is that this final date has a few surprises.

He faces up to a press conference and finally tells the truth - he is gay. In a way, he hoped that doing so would stop having gold-digging mares that would flock to gain his attention. Perhaps even gaining some peace by coming out.

However, while some seek to use Blueblood to gain wealth and status, the prince's coming out provides a unique opportunity. One that a flattering con artist would try to take advantage of.

Yet, as time goes on, this simple con might prove difficult than what Langue imagined it to be.
