      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…
    • V. Song

      V. Song Cover
      by Monochromatic Rainbow didn’t know Rarity was dropping in for a surprise visit.  “It’s just, like, so much,” she’d said to Fluttershy, the two standing outside the cottage, the sounds of the wind and animals masking Rarity’s steps. “I’m exhausted.” Rarity stopped, frozen by the remark. Her name hadn’t been said, but she knew nevertheless. She knew in the core of her heart this was about her.  “She needs time,” Fluttershy replied, and though she sounded gentle, her tone… her…

      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…
    • III. Failing

      III. Failing Cover
      by Monochromatic She hadn’t slept well.  It hadn’t even been because of nightmares or things of that sort. She truly and simply just had a restless night—the kind where one is half-asleep the entire time, but awake enough that there is no rest.  She was so tired that day, and even more so when she heard yelling coming from the theatre room.  A brawl had erupted between two colts—an argument over a toy—which ended with one of them sporting a black eye and bloody nose. Hours later, Rarity had to…
    • II. Loop

      II. Loop Cover
      by Monochromatic The first two weeks were the worst.  They seemed so far away now, but their ghost remained here and there, in the aches in her chest.  It hadn’t felt real, is one thing she remembered most. Swirling around in the depths of a pain she had never known could be so intense, she kept thinking it wasn’t real. It couldn’t be. It had happened so fast, there was no earthly way it was real.  Twilight will call me.  Twilight, who had shut the door in no uncertain terms, literally…
    • Marriage Intervention (ft. Mane6, and the Factual Canon Twilight ship)

      Marriage Intervention (ft. Mane6, and the Factual Canon Twilight ship) Cover
      by Monochromatic Twilight Sparkle looked beautiful in her white wedding dress, her mane held back with a beautiful floral arrangement. She looked like a dream, frankly, even despite the great frown marring her face. Her friends surrounded her, sporting equally great frowns. “Twilight,” Rarity pleaded, so opposed to the wedding she didn’t even bother to wear a dress. “You can’t do this. There is still time to call this off! Please.” Twilight didn’t deign Rarity with a look. She just stared at the…
    • IX. A Name Hidden In Plain Sight

      IX. A Name Hidden In Plain Sight Cover
      by Monochromatic Ambris Knot had a strange name. Well, not a strange name, just one that didn’t sound all that nice or interesting and certainly not one that, according to her editor, would inspire people to pick up her books. And she agreed. In the past months, she’d poured herself into imagining a fiction book all about an archaeological explorer going off on intrepid adventures. She had finally come up with a penname she liked, figured out most of the outline and the settings, and had a main character she was…
