I often wonder what led me here, what series of events long ago set off, triggering different actions and places until I ended up here, right now, in this bed, with a numb and tired heart. 

I used to think it would get better. ‘Surely’, I thought, ‘My love will be enough. I can fix her and then she can return the same support.’

What a laugh, an absolutely remarkable joke. 

It truly is a funny thing, how relationships change.

Inspired by the song War by Icon for Hire, specifically the start of the chorus. Mostly a depressing little drabble cause of feelings and stuff.

Cheerilee is a happy mare. She has an amazing marefriend, loves her job, and overall has a happy life. 

Sure, Rara’s music career can keep them apart for some time and sure, maybe she gets a little annoyed with her students occasionally but those little things are just part of life. 

It’s not like he has any skeletons in her closet. 

Nope, Cheerilee is an unhappy stallion mare.

Centuries in the future, Equestria is undergoing a monumental clean up task. The last Bot Engaged in Refuse Relocation Equestria Class (BERR-E) unit has been hard at work trying to make it hospitable again. But when an Autonomous Universe Traveler (AUT) comes to Equestria, BERR-E will go on a journey across the stars. Can she finally bring ponies home to Equestria? And just how equine can a robot get?

Tempest Shadow, a household name for horror movies, has startled fans with the shocking announcement of her lead role in the new family friendly film ‘BERR-E’. Even more surprising is the directors choice to have her co-lead be a no name Kirin who’s been lurking in the background for years now. What will this mean for BERR-E’s release? Will this be the summer's biggest flop?

Written in the Quills and Sofa’s Disney Parody Speedwrite (and placed first!) Presented here with some expansion and editing.

Inspiration is a fickle thing, Rarity knows this. She’s known it her whole life, it’s part of being an artiste after all. Some days you create for hours on end, bringing to reality countless gorgeous designs and art pieces that until a few hours ago, existed only as abstract thoughts in the mind. 

Other days, you simply sit and stare, unable to conjure the slightest idea.

Rarity has been in a slump lately, she recognizes that, but how long is a ‘slump’ before it becomes a new reality?

What if she simply can’t create anymore?

Written for a Quills and Sofa’s Panic with the prompt ‘Inspiration’, presented here with some editing and expansion (technically got 3rd place in a panic with only 3 entrants lol.) Many thanks to Red and Silent for kicking my butt in the panic and for Ashley and Aurora being second round proofreaders.

 Hearts and Hooves Day in the Crystal Empire is always a special affair. After all, the love in the hearts of the crystal ponies is reflected all across Equestria. As such, it’s up to Cadance, the Princess of Love, to keep up appearances and be in public all day to greet adoring fans and tourists. 

It’s not as easy as it sounds, but luckily her amazing wife Chrysalis is up to the task.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Colorful Characters - Cadance Contest with the prompts 'drowning' and 'bright pink'. Presented here with a little bit of expansion and editing.

Thanks so much to everyone in Quills who read and helped me edit, as well as the few other friends I showed the early draft too; I appreciate and love you all <3.

Marble was so excited for this Hearth’s Warming. She was finally going to do it; she was going to ask Big Mac if he had feelings for her! Sure, there was a small, tiny, gravel sized chance they might be cousins, but even if they were, it was so distant it wouldn't matter.

She had it all planned out, the mood, atmosphere, even the dress Maud helped her spruce up.

It would be perfect, it had to be perfect. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Originally written for the Quills and Sofas Psychedelic Speedwrite with the prompts - 'the love we think we deserve' and 'the only option left'. Presented here with a little bit of editing and a couple hundred words of expansion.

Ever since Twilight blew back into Canterlot and insisted on becoming friends again, Moondancer’s life has been...better. Still not great, years of isolation can’t exactly be overturned overnight, but she is going outside more often at least.

One thing that is slow going, though, is getting her hygiene back under control. She had been doing the bare minimum for her mane and fur and unfortunately it was finally catching up to her…

That doesn’t mean she’s happy about getting a pity coupon. Moondancer is just going so she doesn't waste a gift. She doesn't really want to go. Honest.

CW - Heavy depression themes, self harm/self harm scars, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Passion for Fashion contest with the prompt ‘faux pas’ and presented here with much expansion (this entry is over 5k words more than my original contest entry lol). Thanks to everyone who read and commented and helped me edit afterwards - you guys are amazing!

I’ll never forget the look in her eyes, the desperation in her voice. She didn’t want to die, but she also wanted me to live. 

Unfortunately, I can’t be certain what I am anymore and where my heart lays. The cruel world of reality and life, or the torment of death. 

Can you feel my heart, my love, do you know where I am?

Content Warnings - Death, suicide.

Written for the fabulous Rice! She's a really great writer/artist and you guys should definitely check out her stuff too.
