Routine day with a dirt cheap brush, then a week goes by and it goes untouched. Then two, then three, then a month, and the rest of your life you beat yourself up. - Aesop Rock, "Rings"
Vigilante justice! Canterlot is home to a pony-shaped whirlwind of ash and righteousness, prowling the night for crimes to stop and baddies to apprehend. It's also home to the ash thing's civilian cousin. Neither pony is very smart.
They're supposed to be inspiring, Sunset's stories of ponies with familiar names and faces. But to Cozy Glow, her other self is a warning she's grimly taken to heart. Too bad about the whispers still in her head. And the urges.

Lightning Dust is back again, having proudly undergone some... "changes." Her personality is exactly the same though, which is annoying news for Rainbow Dash.
Maudie Pie needs advice. Maybe from a friendlier version of her younger sister. But what are the odds that one of those will appear? As far as Maudie knows, dimensional travel isn't a thing.

Its been hectic, but Spike has finally settled in as Equestria's inter-species ambassador. His latest (and trickiest) meeting is with an eccentric equine hailing from Discord's dimension. She seems to want help with a personal problem.
Times are tough for Twilight Sparkle, mare-at-arms in the Equestrian Royal Guard. But it’s the only life she’s ever known. Somewhat related, Celestia’s faithful student is suddenly floundering in his own role.
Maud Pie keeps her burdens under wraps. A gloomy bus ride sits her still as a statue, waiting for stop number twelve. But when a familiar face prances aboard, her facade cracks.
Canterlot isn't a common location for day dates. Then again, a Saddle Arabian and Crystal Pony aren't common halves of the same couple. Sandstone Shine and Sapphire Oasis are spending the day downtown together.
Equestria's most popular talk radio show is hosted by a self-important statue with a magic microphone. Ad reads, news coverage, and of course: Opinions. All delivered by the only pony in Canterlot with endless free time.
The ponies of Maretime Bay don't know the lone Sea Pony who lives near their shoreline. She knows them, though. If only she could find a way up there...

Reinbow Deer is a carefree caribou, but a junior herdmate of hers is toubled. Something about a vivid dream, a dark blue alicorn, and one weird word: "reincarnation."

Even at a family bakery, retirements happen and ownerships change hooves. The transition hasn't been an easy one for Pound Cake, but an elderly regular customer might understand responsibility-related stress better than he knows.
Life as an anonymous artist isn't glamorous, but it's the most secretive an imperfect clone can have while trying to keep a low profile. Then again, "most" is a relative term.
Fierce foalhood bullying taught Applejack to keep a certain hobby of hers to herself. Years of holding it in has made her a bit skittish, but like every pony with a secret, it was only matter of time until she got caught.
Fusion spells aren't complicated, but the temporary ponies they yield are. Speed Reader isn't thrilled to be made of the two most high strung ponies in Equestria, but surely she can keep her selves together for a measly half hour, right?
Creativa's struggle against Order's tyranny isn't going well. Another humiliating defeat has her hurled her across time and space... and into the lap of a Moon Princess who was just starting to get bored of retirement.
Flurry Heart has requested a very unusual bedtime story. Shining Armor senses something is up, but he also knows that children occasionally come across feelings they don't have words for yet. Books can supply those words.
Twilight is still fresh from her coronation as sole Princess of Harmony. The junior Anarch of Chaos is even more clueless than she is. Together, they wrangle the responsibilities of their predecessors.
