XV. The Deafening Silence We did not talk that week. Or, well, we did, I suppose, if you count monosyllabic greetings and thank yous for the coffee and teas as ‘talking’. You remember what I said earlier? How I missed you so horridly those few days we were embroiled in the entire Spike affair and we barely spoke? Well, this, darling, this was much worse. I did not know what to say, what to do, or how to make amends for the damage I’d done. There is nothing for me in…- 45.2 K • Oneshot
If Rarity had learned anything from her many experiences with painful goodbyes, it was that the faster one could get them over with, the better. While years ago, she might have reveled in the fuss and the excitement and the poetic pang of things coming to an end, now she just wanted to avoid it all. It would be easier this way. No fuss, no hassle, departing at the crack of dawn and leaving behind nothing but a letter. Very efficient, she’d said when pitching it to Twilight. And yet, as she…- 29.4 K • Ongoing
Nothing was ever simple. This was the cardinal rule Princess Twilight Sparkle had learned throughout her entire life. The illusion of simplicity existed, of course, but only because behind it was a string of complicated steps ensuring things seemed simple. Everything and everypony had a logic, a process to their actions, a string of reasons why things happened and why they acted the way they did. Ponies were not simple, and of all the ponies in Equestria who were not simple, Rarity was the…- 4.1 K • Oneshot
“Twilight, if what Captain Armor told me is true, then I agree with Spike. You are not at fault.” Princess Twilight Sparkle did not immediately reply to Captain Iron Cobbler’s remark. She knew he meant it. She knew Shining Armor had meant it, as had Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia, and Cadance, and Spike. They had all meant it, and it was only polite she acknowledged their statement, wasn’t it? “Thank you, Captain,” she said, looking up at him with what she hoped wasn’t an…- 352.1 K • Completed
Most everypony knew what manner of creature Princess Twilight Sparkle was. The Sphinx king and queen of Saddle Arabia had tried for many years to keep it quiet, keep it hidden, this disgraceful tarnish in their otherwise pristine reputation, but everypony knew their daughter, Princess Twilight Sparkle, was an illegitimate child—and a half-breed, at that. The product of an affair between the king himself and an equestrian chamber maid. And now she was to be a ruler of Equestria. "I don't think…- 4.1 K • Oneshot
Things changed after that. Well. Technically speaking, it had only been one day since she and Rarity went into the library. But in that little amount of time, things had changed. Maybe it was just Twilight. Maybe she was telling herself they did. Whatever it was, real or not, it was easier to breathe with a weight lifted off her shoulders. It also made it easier to take life’s disappointments in stride. Sitting at a picnic table outside one of Trottingham’s libraries, Twilight and…- 231.2 K • Completed
- Nighttime had fallen by the time they’d managed to gather everypony inside the war room in Dreamland, all of them seated around the circular table in the middle of the room. Well, almost everypony. “Spike, darling, can you see properly?” asked Rarity, her and everypony else looking at the large dragon eye peering in outside the window. “What?!” said Spike’s booming voice. Rainbow shook her head, trotted towards the window and leaned out. “She’s asking if you can see…

Twilight Sparkle had never been to the Sapphire Carousel before. In fact, to be precise, she’d only ever been to the Lunar District once: the day she came to my boutique to see me. Ever since she’d found out about Lady Luna’s establishment, as far back as that delightful dinner with Fluttershy and her mother, she’d never dared venture and see the place for herself. It had always felt… not dangerous, no, but forbidden. A place she could know about, but like any proper and decent individual,…- 119.3 K • Completed
