Sweetie Belle used to see countless, terrifying monsters in her mirror, but she doesn't anymore. And that is so much worse. Because now she only sees one.
There is little more exciting for Twilight than coming across a new problem. Especially when it's something she doesn't understand. And this...thing, that she's found out there... this is something she definitely doesn't understand.
When Rarity woke up, she noted two things. Firstly, she saw that Pinkie was already awake, staring out of the window into the sky. And secondly, she noted the colour of said sky.
Twilight knew that when two ponies loved each other as much as she and Rarity did, moving in together would make everything better. So why wasn't that happening now?
Hardship, pain, loss both personal and professional, there aren't many storms Rarity can't weather. So it wasn't until Applejack saw Rarity leaving the wake that she thought something was seriously wrong.
Pinkie has been dropped off in a strange house full of frightening creatures. Worse still, they are talking about her like she's imaginary. But surely they're lying, she can't be imaginary, can she?
Sunflower doesn't do well by himself, he never has. But the guards hate him and won't allow him to have a cellmate. What they did give him, however, was a mirror.
In the middle of the night, Rarity is awoken by a noise from downstairs. But it's alright, all she needs to do is make sure everything's okay. Then she can go back to bed. Then it'll be over.
Every week, Rarity goes for tea with Twilight. Every week, Rarity and Twilight talk about what's happening in their lives. Every week, Twilight changes a little bit more.
It's very easy to become bored, and a little insane, at long meetings about the economy. So much so that sometimes unorthodox measures can be proposed.
Twilight loves living in Ponyville, though the change is a little bigger than she'd first expected. But things like homesickness and dealing with the way everyone seems to stare and whisper are all just part of moving somewhere new.
Have you ever felt yourself suddenly terrified, for no apparent reason at all? We all know that 'gut feeling' isn't a real thing, and that there's nothing to be afraid of. It doesn't help though, does it?
After finally learning his humiliating true dragon surname, Spike is desperate to have it changed. To do so he must wrangle with his greatest foe to date; the Equestrian civil court system.
Celestia's beloved has finally died, while her immortality drags her on alone. One night, Luna comes to talk to her about a way to maybe see Rarity again, one last time.
It's Rarity's birthday, and her friends want nothing more than to make it the best one yet. What they actually accomplish is to turn screwing everything up into an artisan-level mastercraft.
