    • Family Therapy (ft. Celestia, Luna)

      Family Therapy (ft. Celestia, Luna) Cover
      by Monochromatic The pink pegasus Tranquil Heartmender was slowly becoming a prominent therapist in Canterlot. It wasn’t just because of her very affordable rate of one bit an hour, but mostly because she was very good at her job. Which made sense considering her actual name was Princess Luna and her actual job was essentially dream therapy. She just felt sometimes ponies needed to, well, actually be awake and remember her teachings to improve, and also she liked acting like a common pony. Currently, however, she…
    • A Pressing Question

      A Pressing Question Cover
      by Monochromatic As she made her way through the Everfree Forest, Rarity occupied her time mentally reviewing important events for the upcoming weeks. First, she had a few commission deadlines to complete, then there was that super-deluxe spa treatment next Thursday, and that was it. Wait, no, she thought, feeling a little embarrassed at forgetting. Father’s birthday is next week. I need to send him a present sometime before the weekend.  Her communication with her parents was rather scarce, to be…
    • V. Song

      V. Song Cover
      by Monochromatic Rainbow didn’t know Rarity was dropping in for a surprise visit.  “It’s just, like, so much,” she’d said to Fluttershy, the two standing outside the cottage, the sounds of the wind and animals masking Rarity’s steps. “I’m exhausted.” Rarity stopped, frozen by the remark. Her name hadn’t been said, but she knew nevertheless. She knew in the core of her heart this was about her.  “She needs time,” Fluttershy replied, and though she sounded gentle, her tone… her…
    • The old castle

      The old castle Cover
      by Monochromatic It started with intruders. Or, more accurately, it started in the library. Andromeda allowed her to spend a few hours every day there, which Rarity was appreciative of. Better the library than her gloomy room-slash-prison.  She turned the pages of her book in slow motions, her ears flicking at the sound the pages made when they brushed together. Truth be told, she wasn’t all that interested in the content of the book. The castle’s public library had no novels or books about things that would…
    • IV. Sentences

      IV. Sentences Cover
      by Monochromatic There came a point where she didn’t want to talk about it anymore. Not because she didn’t want to, really, but because she didn’t like what others had to say. It wasn’t that they were saying things that were strictly untrue or that weren’t coming from a place of love, but her friends had switched to trying to get her to Move On.  They’d say things like “we can’t count on Twilight coming back” or “in a year or so, you won’t feel this way, anymore” or the particularly…
    • This Is Totally Not A Scam, Twilight

      This Is Totally Not A Scam, Twilight Cover
      by Monochromatic Twilight Sparkle (the horse one) quickly made her way through the busy streets of the city (the human one), clutching in her hand a piece of parchment with a very worrying note from Celestia (the princess one).  When she turned around the corner, her eyes narrowed at the sight of her large, gray, and dreary destination: CERFEX BANK.  Her brisk walk became a jog, which then became a run when she remembered what exactly was at stake.  Please, don’t let me be late.  Pushing…
    • I. Sleep

      I. Sleep Cover
      by Monochromatic It was always worse at night.  When things were quiet, and Pinkie had left, and Incantation was asleep, and all the company she had were her own thoughts. The thoughts that haunted her when she had nothing else to do, when she couldn’t force herself to sew anymore, or read, or…  I miss Twilight.  The neverending thought, over and over, always there, like a mantra she knew was poisonous but couldn’t help repeating despite how hard she tried. She didn’t want to be like this.…
    • III. Failing

      III. Failing Cover
      by Monochromatic She hadn’t slept well.  It hadn’t even been because of nightmares or things of that sort. She truly and simply just had a restless night—the kind where one is half-asleep the entire time, but awake enough that there is no rest.  She was so tired that day, and even more so when she heard yelling coming from the theatre room.  A brawl had erupted between two colts—an argument over a toy—which ended with one of them sporting a black eye and bloody nose. Hours later, Rarity had to…
