Practice makes perfect. And Princess Twilight wants everything to be perfect. Especially the end of the world.

This story is a sequel to Yaerfaerda

A newly transformed Rainbow Dash continues her flight east.

Autumn Blaze will do whatever it takes to win Applejack’s heart. Unfortunately, she’s not alone: Ponyville is filled with others determined to do the same, with no trick too low in the pursuit of victory.

But when a new contender arrives to claim Applejack as her own, can Autumn and her rivals band together and save Equestria? Or is Autumn destined to lose Applejack to a mare who doesn’t love her half as much as she deserves?

For a thousand years, there was just Celestia. Then Cadance appeared, Luna returned -- and now Twilight has ascended. There are ponies who are very curious about just what happened, why -- and how. Especially the how. Twilight herself is on that list, a freshly-minted princess with far more questions than answers, about to face a brand new one: what truly makes an alicorn?

And what happens if it goes wrong?

When deafness stole away her music, Octavia Melody became the greatest composer in Equestria. Her Tenth Symphony lies finished before her, the pinnacle of all her work, done against all odds at the very end of her life.

Yet the clock ticks, and she finds herself under the gaze of gods and devils. With only Discord's mocking aid, Octavia must journey through her past to save her very soul.
