Rapidfire was a horrible pony. Selfish, narcissistic, and insubordinate, his crimes against his fellow Wonderbolts were in too great of numbers to be listed. And when his former Squadmates run into him during their war with the Shadwbolts, they capture and subdue the orange Pegasus, locking him up as both a convict and a Prisoner of War.

As the days slip by, Rapidfire's arrogant delusions slowly melt away as he begins to realize that it's too late to regret anything he has done to land himself here. Even now, no one is there for him as he breaks. Rapidfire realizes that there is no more chance for him ever again, and the hopelessness of it all is just too much.

But with the help of one pony, maybe it won't be so hopeless after all. At least, it won't feel that way.

This story is a sequel to Saved By A Tyrant

The night had passed. Lapis could leave. The Everfree was safe for travel, and she could go back to what she knew, to what was safe. Thanks to Sombra, she could return home.

But because of him, she was hesitant to leave.

Lapis Lazuli didn't know what made her land in the middle of the Everfree, but she immediately began to regret coming out here, because timberwolves were right on her tail. She knew she was going to die. She just knew it. All she wanted now was to postpone her death for a few more seconds and just run. She didn't expect anyone would fight away the Timberwolves and save her.

She also didn't expect him to save her.

Dear Celestia,

Please send help.

Sincerely, Chrysalis.

A fic told through a series of letters.

Dawn Ray never really liked his life. He was too different for anyone to like him. He's been scorned, insulted, stolen from, and pretty much every kind of shunning in the book. Twilight understands, but when does that matter? She's the Princess of Friendship; it doesn't come as a surprise that she sympathizes with him. Dawn wants others to offer him a kind word, a Bit, anything at all. They hate him for no good reason, and he knows that he's not worthless. He just wants someone to give him a chance.

With Twilight's help, maybe that could happen.

Inspired by three Starset songs.

Steelfire Strings didn't have that many friends, but the ones he did have he was very close to. One day, he has to come to grips with the fact that his best friend is leaving. He doesn't know how, because not only does he care about him, but his friend can't even leave him when he was never with him to begin with.

Inspired by personal experience and the song Limelight by Boyinaband and Cryotic.

This story is a sequel to The Dark Is Brighter

Nightmare Moon, now dubbed Mære by Princess Luna, has decided to begin the life of a helper, rather than the life of a monster. Luna believes that she can start by saving ponies from their nightmares, but without her horn, Mære is unable to enter dreams. Luna takes matters into her own hooves, and uses her own magic to take Mære along with her to the realm of dreams. The two begin searching for a target, and immediately find an option.

Twilight Sparkle is having a nightmare. About Mære.

This discovery leads to something far more long-term.

Speak of the nightmare, and she shall appear.

Celestia and Luna were supposed to enjoy each other on a night alone in the Everfree. However, things go south when they find Luna's old dark self: Nightmare Moon. But, she is different. She wants to be better and wants forgiveness. And Luna, listening to the mare lament, asks herself a question.

Is Nightmare Moon deserving of the forgiveness she asks for?

Takes place three days after the events of Luna Eclipsed.

This story is a sequel to Autophobia

*It is recommended you read the previous story first*

Cadance has begun to spend more and more time in the Everfree. She has had a couple of surprises here and there, such as a flying squirrel leaping past her face, or meeting Twilight as the purple Alicorn took a trip to the Princesses' old castle.

However, one day when she was particularly angry, she stumbled upon a small, hallucinating Changeling. She had reacted with a blend of hate and indifference, not giving the Changeling a chance to justify his existence. She had threatened his life and left him, crying and fearful, in the dust.

Looking back now, Cadance wishes she hadn't said what she said. He was a Changeling, sure, but mocking him for seeing things and claiming she would kill him for that sole reason was uncalled for.

Now, however, Cadance has the chance to make up for it, when she has another run-in with Changelings, two this time, and one of them is mortally wounded.

Preread end edited by me.

Alone in the Everfree, it feels dark, even in the middle of a summer afternoon. Darker than the chitin on the Changeling that fell victim to such a predicament. Normally, he would fly home. Normally, he would give self-sufficiency a long study. The only problem is a fear passed down throughout the Changeling race, generation after generation, so ingrained within their DNA that even the Queen must have a companion at all times in order to not break down.

Autophobia.

Inspired by this song.

Now has a sequel!
