Death was not like Twilight had expected it. I suppose that’s because she couldn’t expect much at all, wandering her library, eyes blacker than a starless, moonless night. This was, after all, what my beloved wanted. This was, after all, what was right, what she deserved. Peace, her endless thoughts so distant and quiet, everything mattering so, so very little. High above, past bookcases gathering dust, hung a chandelier, illuminating the room. She stared up at it, and then…- 13.2 K • Ongoing

The Masquerade
It was common knowledge to ponies from all around that Princess Rarity was one of the most sought after mares in the land. How many mares and stallions of noble houses had tried in vain to steal her heart and all that came with it? More than the maids, butlers, and servants of the castle could count or even remember when day after day, month after month, dignitaries from all over returned to their lands with their tails between their hindlegs. Nopony knew what made it so difficult to woo the…- 6.0 K • Completed
An entire week went by before Twilight agreed to talk. An endless number of tasks kept appearing on the checklist, kept moving up the list of priorities, and Rarity allowed them to. It had been over a week, yes, but even so, she could still vividly picture the memories Twilight had inadvertently shared, as well as the fear and guilt that had accompanied them and briefly plagued Rarity. In that moment, Twilight Sparkle’s carefully constructed barriers had been ripped away, and it was only polite for…- 352.1 K • Completed
- “Twilight, how are we supposed to live here?” “The princess will help me build a library here, Spike. I need to have my books nearby during my research if we want to find a weapon to stop him.” “But… how are we supposed to hide from him with a library here? He will find it! It isn’t as if we can build a secret library under the tree…” “…Spike, you just gave me a great idea…” The history of the Everfree Forest was shrouded in as much mystery as…

- Rarity returned to Spitfire’s apartment with a knot in her stomach, twisting and twisting and twisting some more. Threads of hope kept together her will to fight, but even then she knew they were frayed and might give in at any moment. So much of her had come undone already, it was hard to think it could get any worse. For now, she clung to one belief. There was no map. Therefore, finding all the books would free Twilight, once and for all. But… but Discord had returned. He’d chosen to…

Black Coffee
Darling, you really didn't think I’d leave you dangling off the edge like that? Don’t be silly. Whyever would I do that? It’s so much easier to simply push you off the cliff. There we were, she and I, sitting at a window table in the bar, each cradling distinctly non-alcoholic drinks. I’d offered to have our usual when we met up again weeks later, to have a cup of chocolate milk with spicy rum, but she refused. She wanted coffee, please. Black with no sugar. “My!…- 119.3 K • Completed
- Heart’s Haven. A secluded village known for its curious location at the bottom of Galloping Gorge, next to Galloping Valley. Local tourism books stated that many centuries ago, a river flowed at the bottom of the gorge, and it was only after it had dried out inexplicably that ponies founded the town down below. Local ghostly princesses begged to differ, however, claiming that actually, Rarity, Rustle River did not dry out, but was moved underground by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna so that…

In the depths of the Everfree Forest, past abandoned houses, past Timberwolves and frightening beasts, was a trapdoor at the base of a grand old oak tree. Blue magic delicately surrounded the handle and pulled. Dirt and dust rose into the air when Rarity opened the trapdoor. She stepped back, trying to protect her coat from the mess. When the dust settled, she had no choice but to remain there for a moment, taking in the implication of dirt and dust and time collected on the door. She lifted her hoof…- 231.2 K • Completed
