GOLDEN OAKS LIBRARY: a place of knowledge—and friendship. So it's only natural that Twilight shares her passion for learning with Fluttershy by showing her a relic of the past. But her science lesson takes a cryptic turn, and Twilight witnesses an unknown aspect of a friend as Fluttershy's empathy draws her across the divide of time, connecting her with somepony she could have never known.

It's got something very powerful to say about Fluttershy while treating us to some pony history long forgotten, before there was history, and possibly even ponies. Recommended

Special thanks to Pascoite who told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted, and helped make this story what it should have been from the start. I only wished I'd listened sooner.

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD and still without a cutie mark, Apple Bloom faces an existential crisis until a new opportunity presents itself, one that might solve her problem—if she can take the first step.

It is deeper, more thoughtful and infinitely more interesting than any story I’ve ever read starring her. Well paced, emotional, and possessing strong, interesting characters, this is a story worth getting involved in. Why Haven’t You Read These Yet?

IN LONG FORGOTTEN STORAGE ROOMS beneath Canterlot Castle, two ponies discover rare hidden objects. But how did those treasures get there, and why are there so many of them?

[A]fter the second chapter, I was completely hooked. I needed to know what was going on, just as much as Dusty does. I had a lot of fun with this

BESET BY AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMY and uncooperative weather, the Apples hire three drifters to help out for the season. One of them desires to become more than what he's been, and nopony's life is the same again.

The characterization of everyone—from the Apples to the homeless to the one-off strangers mentioned in passing—was excellent, equal parts real and true to the showBurraku_Pansa
