      i did it for them Cover
      by Monochromatic Once upon a time, Manehattan had been the mecca for fashion, the bustling city bursting with the latest in fashion stores and fashion trends and fashion everything-you-could-name. But that was a long time ago.  If ever in Equestria—frankly, not just Equestria, but in the entire realm—there had been a city dedicated to fashion in every aspect of its design, it was Coeur de Couture.  Four mountains, a myriad of art, beauty fit to blind the heavens, and no waiting. A pony could try and…

      see you in your dreams Cover
      by Monochromatic Nightmares came for Princess Twilight Sparkle long after Discord had been defeated, waking her with a start and a gasp for air, having dreamt she was once more displaced in time.  Breathe, she thought after one such nightmare, her face in her hooves evidence that her dream had been just that—a dream.  She wasn’t displaced anymore. She was not trapped in a library. Discord had been defeated for over ten years now, and the peace reigning over Equestria was real. Everything was…

      you’ve been making group decisions about us without us Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Twilight had read Fritter Cobbler’s letter about thirty times or more.  Sitting atop opposite bookcases, every single time I looked up from the book I was barely reading, I’d find her still staring at the worn letter, her expression indecipherable.  I put my book down and folded my hands on my lap, as I did whenever I wanted to pry into her heart.  “Princess?”  She didn’t look up at first. “You don’t have to call me that anymore,…

      and i had a feeling that i belonged Cover
      by Monochromatic The first months, I truly think she had no idea what to make of me, let alone what to do about me. Honestly, I don’t think she even knew what to do with herself, whether she should stay close when I visited or leave me to my own devices, saving herself the anxiety of remembering how to have a conversation like a normal person.  I’ve been here six hours, I wrote in my journal, delighted to be using the princess’ old-fashioned but elegant quills, and I’ve only spoken with the princess about…

      The Puppeteer And His Fabulous Marionette Cover
      by Monochromatic Incantation stepped away from 'Twilight', her eyes widening with fear.  “She has nothing to do with this.”  The words left Rarity’s mouth as unbidden as they were immediate, her only concern at that precise moment being the panicked changeling beside her.  Twicord looked at the changeling. “Leave, then,” he said.  Incantation, bless her soul, did no such thing, and in fact stepped closer towards Rarity—not that either of them could do anything against Discord,…

      one day at a time Cover
      by Monochromatic No one notices themselves growing up.  Days go by, one after the other, everything about you feeling the same in every way until something shocks you into realizing you’re not only no longer a child, but it’s been quite some time since you were one.  It had been well over a decade since that play, since I allowed Princess Booky to fade away as nothing but a childhood idol, and yet. And yet, standing a few feet away from Princess Twilight, watching her look over a newspaper, my hands…

      i believe in magic Cover
      by Monochromatic When I was, oh, about twelve or so, I played a starring role in the school’s yearly play. I’d been hoping for a romantic affair, where I would kiss the leading boy.  Unfortunately, our teacher decided we should properly re-enact the kingdom’s most famous legend instead.  “But that’s boring,” a girl protested.  “That’s what Seeking Night is for,” a boy yawned.  “There’s no romance in there!” I whined, crossing my arms and pouting. “And what’re the boys…

      keep holding on Cover
      by Monochromatic Death follows Princess Twilight Sparkle like the most loyal of servants.  It trails after her as she walks, every footstep casting a dark shadow as endless as the vacant expression in her eyes, surveying her lonely prison made up of tombs for dead trees.  She wished she could die.  She wished it so often, the poor lonely princess, her fingertips idly brushing against her neck, morbidly recalling facts she’d read from coroners’ reports of people long gone.  It could be…
