Junior Ambassador Cori's first session in the Crystal Empire requires her audience get over the shadow of Sombra. Their results on effectiveness may vary, but shadows are definitely not present long.

Short little oneshot here, fells, to commemorate Memorial Day.

No real relation to the universe of Carnation, just one uneasy-but-quick-thinking Crystal Pony O.C. and the most bombastic bull in Equestria teaming up to teach everypony about being assertive.

Warning: Total nonstop Iron Will.

With the newly self-appointed Queen wreaking her twisted will on ponykind, her flock of allies and servants stripping the innocence and lives from its residents en masse, and the apparent new spanner in the works that the Equilixirs and their holders are exerting, A.K. Yearling's got a lot to list in this breakdown of the new order of Equestria. But holding these monsters to account requires and account. And its penner still dares to dream of an end to the entropy.

This is a side fic to Carnation adjusted even further to keep it T-rated and give you the 4-1-1 on the events transpiring between it and Condemned.

Regardless, cursory crossed-out and sometimes redacted hint at some pretty nasty atrocities can be seen between the lines. Enter this latest authoring of A.K. at your own risk.
