    • Part I

      Part I Cover
      by Monochromatic For a guard who’d killed her king in cold blood, Twilight Sparkle was living a relatively happy life.  Certainly, she couldn’t see, and she was a wanted criminal, and the most important being in her life was an undead creature—also a wanted criminal—masquerading as a normal pony, but even in spite of all this, she was happy.  She quite liked her situation. She could like it for the rest of her life, in fact. Just her and her Lady and a quiet future stretching out.  If she…
    • rarity-isms

      rarity-isms Cover
      by Monochromatic They’d been stuck in the elevator for about an hour, and considering the energy blasting going on outside, they probably would still be there for several more hours until somepony had enough time to do something about their situation.  Twilight sighed, slumped against the jammed door.  At least the oxygen spell was holding well enough. She’d always wanted to test it. Always thought she might take a dive deep down into the ocean and cast it there. This definitely wasn’t what she’d…
    • you’ve been making group decisions about us without us

      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,…
    • The Tavern down the Road

      The Tavern down the Road Cover
      by Monochromatic Her hooves in searing pain with every step they took down the icy, lonely road, Princess Rarity could only think that she’d not expected hell to be this cold.  The cold felt like death. There was truly no other way to describe it, biting every part of her it could touch, sneaking in through every exposed part of the torn, dirty coat Rainbow Dash had managed to find for her.  “Princess,” Rainbow begged, alarm crystallized in every syllable, “please, just—” “Diamond Star,”…
    • … Cover
      by Monochromatic Every Wednesday, Pinkie and I met to eat cheese. I saw her so often that I practically knew her inside out! I felt like I understood her relationship with Maude now, able to tell somepony’s mood even with just minute differences. I felt the same truthfully when it came to Pinkie Pie.  I could tell when she was happy or sad, or when all was well, and when all was not. But I digress.  The point is we never missed a single meeting. You must understand this: never had we ever missed a…
    • In One Fell Swoop

      In One Fell Swoop Cover
      by Monochromatic Celestia remembered it like it was yesterday.  Her little sister—a unicorn barely past her fillyhood—weeping over the deer, the animal’s breathing heavy and pained, its mangled legs torn beyond any hope of repair. She remembered the thick scent of blood staining the air, heavy and sickening and sad.  “Shhh, little one. We will help you.” Luna was cradling the deer’s head, whispering comforting words as if the deer could even listen, its gaze unfocused and dazed. “You will be…
    • one day at a time

      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…
    • heard you like magic

      heard you like magic Cover
      by Monochromatic Blending in a crowd of costumed people outside the club, Applejack waved at Rarity from within the constraints of her full suit of knight armor (sans visor). “Rarity!” Rarity wasted no time rushing towards her, past a group of drunken pirates flirting with aliens, and when Applejack opened her arms for a comforting hug, she was grateful to fall into them. “Oh, thank God you were here,” she sniffled, the affectionate, tight hug enough to break down the wall she’d built on the walk there.…
