Rainbow Dash sometimes flies high for Wonderbolt training, higher than almost any other pegasus. Up there, it's just her, the earth, and the sky. It's more than enough to give a whole different perspective on things.

In the middle of attempting to ruin Starlight's tenure as headmare of the School of Friendship, Discord's business takes him to Maud's class. She looks to be an easy target. But considering Maud's apathy towards him, he really should've known better.

Takes place during "A Matter of Principals".

Delta. A logging town in Equestria’s far west. With its pleasant (if insular) locals and slow, quiet atmosphere, every inch the small town you’d expect. Except that every few weeks, a predator is found dead and and covered in brutal injuries.

Ranger and single mother Swan Dive is sent to Delta to make sense of it all. But the more she uncovers, the less sense it all makes. The monster leaves no trace except for its own killings. The deaths don’t seem to serve any purpose. And the murders are all clustered around Delta. Swan’s going to have to keep her wits about her if she hopes to make any sense of these strange incidents.

Because there’s something in the forest. Something stalking Delta’s animals. Something deadly. Something bloodthirsty. Something the likes of which Swan has never seen before…

I read the Twilight series to learn from it. Long story short: it really sucks. But more than that, it has many, many ideas that are quite good, but very underutilized. This is my rewriting of Twilight, aiming to utilize those ideas and throw out the ideas that don’t work while still following the same basic plotline. Because even I can do better than that tripe.

Special thanks to Bugsydor for the title.

Starlight convinces Spike to let her test out a new spell on him, one that should let him understand every language ever. He really should've known better.

Struggling to find somepony to cover for Rarity for You, Rarity is surprised to find that Maud's available. But Maud's not alone; she's got Boulder to help. In fact, she might be the one helping Boulder.

Has a not-so-dramatic reading by River Babble.

In the middle of a rocky patch in her life, Cobblestone briefly strikes up a conversation with a mare at a bar. But as the mare leaves, Cobblestone notices her personality and speech patterns change completely whenever she's confronted with someone else. Curious, Cobblestone follows after her and finds she's not even scratching the surface on the mare's social camouflage.

Inspired by William Gibson's "The Belonging Kind".

Suddenly finding herself in hell, Twilight is presented with one fact: for the rest of eternity, she's stuck in a library holding every book possible. She's expected to organize them and is allowed to read them.

What makes this hell, again?

Now has two Spanish translations, one by SPANIARD KIWI and another by Pugg-Senpai.

A mailmare. A treasure hunter. A botanist. A historian. A rambler. A retired guard.

Six travelers in a frozen forest in the middle of nowhere. None of them knows any of the others. These six people find themselves driven together into the only lodge for miles when a freak storm descends upon the land. But all they have to do is wait out the blizzard, and they can be on their way. Simple, right?

If only. As the storm rages with no sign of stopping, they gradually get to know each other more and more. They don't always like what they learn. And when your world has been reduced to a small common room, the tiniest of annoyances can simmer, fester, and boil over...

Immediately after her ascension, Twilight's feeling stressed. Princesshood? Wings? It's a lot to take in, and the full weight of it is only just now sinking in. No matter how much of an honor it is, Twilight can't stop panicking over it.

So when Celestia gives her a choice between being an alicorn and being a unicorn, Twilight's not sure which path she wants to take.

After Starlight's graduation, Trixie convinces Starlight to celebrate with some wine. An awful lot of drinks later, Starlight decides to try her hoof at some new magic and selects a spell at random from an old book of Starswirl's and casts it.

Then the Four Horses of the Apocalypse show up.

Luckily, they're pretty cool dudes about the whole deal.
