Taking a break from one of Princess Celestia's party, she stares out across the Equestrian plains and thinks. And is shortly joined by an unexpected, but not unwelcome guest.

This story is a sequel to Marjoram

It's a bad idea to go into the Everfree Forest Alone.

It's an especially bad idea when you have a chronic illness, but that hasn't stopped Marjoram from trying to map out the ever-changing, twisting paths of the forest.

As much as Ponyville legend relies heavily on the forest, they often forget that at the heart of the woods is the ruins of what was once Equestria's crown jewel. A city forgotten by most, a crumbling ruin.

Marjoram explores, and in his explorations finds reason to bring closure to the princesses.

While this is set as a prequel/sequel to Marjoram, you do not need to read that to understand this story.

This is heavily based off of Cold in Gardez' Lost Cities. This focuses mostly on the 4th chapter.

Twilight takes the Young Six to Griffonstone to learn more about griffon history, and to learn about teamwork. Hoping to rescue the books from the ruined library, it takes them all by surprise when they learn a few things while skimming through the books.

What do you mean dragons lived to the east? The dragons live in the Badlands! Everyone knows that.

Written for the The Discovery contest. Basically my attempt to help explain some of the little details in and around Griffonstone that I've noticed, while also trying to flesh out some history.

Also I created the evolutionary ancestor to parasprites.

Starlight seizes an opportunity to allow herself some revenge on Rarity, and thus Princess Twilight Sparkle herself.

Contains weight gain.

Dynamo Pad, overwrought with the recent death of his father, enters a gaming tournament at a convention. He doesn't want to win for his own glory, or to make his friend Starlight proud. He does it in memory of his father. In the hopes of helping himself heal from what had happened, he brings Starlight along.

A touching one-shot that had me in tears at times while writing.

This was a commission for the lovely Kyubiki_Tenchu. I'm honoured he chose me to write this memorial to his own father. It was a lovely experience.

Spike gets blasted by a magical spell that wasn't meant for him. It makes it impossible for ponies to realize things are different about him. He takes advantage. Weight gain ensues.

This story is a sequel to Marjoram

So, Marjoram is the main story the characters are coming from, but Cold in Gardez's story Lost Cities is another thing you should at least take a peek at before reading this story.

The first chapter will not be the last, and I hope that I can do Cold in Gardez justice with my work. Before anyone asks, I have their permission to write this, so I hope everyone can enjoy with a guilt-free conscious.

Contains fat griffons, stuffing, and weight gain. If you're not into that sort of thing, don't bother to read.

This is written for PhealGud's birthday. Nothing super plot heavy, but lots of stuffing and fatty goodness. This is a oneshot, and was written for just pure enjoyment.

Celestia is uncertain about one of her previous students: Marjoram. The unicorn is highly intelligent, incredibly powerful in magic, and yet he has no friends. He works as one of the few morticians in Canterlot, dabbles with herbalism, and is more than okay with performing autopsies on all sorts of creatures if it means furthering his research.

On the other hoof, Celestia has Twilight Sparkle, new to being a student. Young Twilight is skilled for her age, and recently discovered her special talent in magic. She has no friends outside of her family, and this worries Celestia; for she's seen what can happen to good ponies who feel isolated from everyone else.

So, Celestia decides to meddle in fate, and tasks Marjoram to give Twilight at least one lesson per week. Chaos, of course, can only ensue.

Edit. Nov 29th/2020: As some of you might have been able to realize, I haven't updated this story in a long time. I wrote myself into a whole and couldn't dig myself out of it. However, over the course of quarantine, I've been rewriting the story with the intent of completing it, even if it takes me a few years. As it stands, I'm a little over 16k words into the rewrite, and once I hit 20k, I'm going to publish and start posting semi-regularly.

In celebration of hitting 100k words, I comissioned the talented Pridark for a commission of Marjoram.Pridark
