Neither Tempest nor Applejack even question that they're going to attempt a rescue. But the Citadel of Storms is a long way from Ponyville, and there's the problem of the entire army in their way...

Just as Equestria transitions from two Princesses to one, the Elements of Harmony transition to a new generation of Bearers.

But as the new young defenders of Harmony take up the task ahead, they are perplexed by a deep-rooted question: if the Pillars have Stygian and the Elements have Spike, who do they have?

Now with a French translation by Acylius!

Not every pony who lives in Cloudsdale is a pegasus. Some are unicorn or earth foals born to pegasus parents; some have been drawn there for employment or love; some simply see it as home and follow their dreams to the clouds.

All survive their days through a regular diet of cloudwalking potions.

And lately - here and there - those potions have begun to mysteriously fail.

It was only supposed to be Rainbow Dash who was dispatched by Princess Twilight to investigate, but even her plans never go as expected. Because Applejack isn't letting her marefriend charge into danger alone.

This is an expansion of my entry into Flashfic 150 - September 2019 with the prompt 'Bittersweet'. I felt the idea had legs beyond 150 words and took it a bit further.

Star Swirled was supposed to be a fun music festival and a chance to see some awesome bands over the course of two days.

That was several months ago, and thanks to a time loop Sunset Shimmer is still on Day 1.

After all the confusion, after the rage, after the desperation - she's emotionally tapped out.

Fortunately, she's not alone.

Written (but not completed) for the No Author Left Unnoticed competition, with the prompt "Sleep doesn't help if it's your soul that's tired." Finished anyway later on because I can't bear to leave work half-completed.
