      for the love of the craft Cover
      by Monochromatic Ponies told her she was silly. She lived in Ponyville. A little town in the middle of nowhere, inhabited by simple folk who did not wear or care about clothes in the least. To try and sell clothes to them would be akin to trying to sell food to a rock. But she didn’t care, because she was a designer, and clothes were her medium. She’d had a few successful sales before—small ones, as she was not a very good designer back then—but it wasn’t about the money or the success or any such…

      Part I Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Rarity was planning the single most important birthday in all of the soon-to-be-hers kingdom of Equestria. No, it wasn’t her own birthday, for her own birthday would never ever ever be planned by her. It would be planned by the entire kingdom, would be attended by the entire kingdom, and would be the talk of the entire kingdom. Twilight Sparkle’s birthday, however, could not be interrupted by the entire kingdom. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel every mare, stallion, colt, and filly should…

      VII. The Request Cover
      by Monochromatic There would be no backing down here. No conceding, no making allowances, no losing. Ripple might be the director, but she was Ambris Knot. He had a big office, sure, decorated with all sorts of antique relics and rare books, but the library itself was her office. She was the heart and soul of that entire place, and—! And—! “Yes, I know you have tenure, Ambris,” Director Ripple said with a big, boisterous laugh, adjusting the sleeves of his suit before folding his hands on his desk.…

      XI – XIII Cover
      by Monochromatic XI. Little Gestures I didn’t say anything at first. It didn’t feel like I needed to. Or, really, if I must be honest with you, if only because you are now mine, I didn’t want to tell you. Partly because I still was unsure of the entire thing, still didn’t quite know how to act, but also because there was a...a… There was a secret little thrill to be had at having the upper hoof and using it to my full advantage. It’s true, there is something exciting about being on…

    • V. #102C54 [1st Draft / Supporter Locked]

      by Monochromatic Twilight Sparkle arrived at the hotel’s breakfast area precisely ten minutes after it opened, which was one hour earlier than she’d arrived all the previous days. This was not because she was excited to eat, mind you, but because she barely slept, kept up the entire night by the fact that she and Rarity had kissed.  Bleary, baggy eyes scanned the large dining hall, hoping to catch sight of her friends somewhere within the mass of ponies carrying trays around in varying degrees of tiredness.…
    • Up the Rungs

      Up the Rungs Cover
      by Monochromatic It started, as most things in my life tend to do, with moi. Specifically, it started in an Equestrian city that is as beautiful as it is deadly, much like myself. A city of wonders, of glitz and glam that draws your attention away from the vipers living amongst its citizens, whispering and hissing and judging your every step, every move, and every word. Does it sound like I’m bitter? It does, doesn’t it? Well, let me assure you that I’m not. Blue magic enveloped a doorknob, and a grand…

      VIII. Hidden Tribes and Secret Airships Cover
      by Monochromatic “So,” Daring Sun said, wheeling after Ambris and helping her rearrange books, “this is going to sound like I made this up, but—” “Yes, that’s usually how made up things start,” Ambris mused, inserting a book into an open space. “Wait, wait, listen!” Daring exclaimed, handing a book to Ambris. “Look, you know how the Somisto people disappeared from Saddle Arabia thousands of years ago, and no one knows what happened to them?” “Hand me that book, won’t you? And yes, I…

      XIV Cover
      by Monochromatic XIV. Words Spoken in Anger Sharp Silk hated the dresses. He hated them, and in retrospect, I can't blame him. No, Twilight, I cannot blame him. Regardless of how much heart we put into them, they were hardly a display of my abilities. They were simple and elegant, yes, but considering the fact that the submission deadline had been announced nearly three weeks prior… well… it's natural he expected something more elaborate. I was shamed when he critiqued them, but I was also not terribly…
