Chapters
Rarity did not believe in fairy tales. As much as she loved to read them, she knew no dashing savior would come and sweep her off her hooves, she knew no dragons guarded kidnapped damsels in distress, and she was positive the tale of The Princess in the Library was nothing but a myth. Her younger sister, however, begged to differ. “Once upon a time, in Equestria’s distant past, there were four princesses, not just one.” Sweetie Belle’s voice drifted up from the floor below,…- 352.1 K • Completed
- Carousel Boutique had never looked emptier and, in fact, it had never been emptier. Most of her things had already been carted away, taken to the train that would lead her to a new life away from Ponyville. Away from her family. Away from the Everfree Forest, and away from… her. “Rarity… I don’t want you to go…” Trotting out of Carousel Boutique, Rarity stopped and embraced the little filly trailing behind her, whose hot tears stained her elder sister’s coat. Pinkie Pie was…

I.No one commented on Twilight’s silence during dinner.She would have liked to think it was because they thought she was tired, but she knew better than that. Maybe Incantation might think that, but she’d seen Princess Luna and Primrose speaking. She couldn’t imagine Princess Luna hadn’t said something, even if she hoped the more personal details had been kept private. She didn’t want Primrose to know what she felt. It shamed her just to think of the elderly mare knowing how deeply hurt…- 18.1 K • Completed
- I. Despite the thousands of years Twilight had been gone, Canterlot and Cadance looked much the same as she’d left them. It was obvious Cadance had prepared for a much more emotional Twilight Sparkle, one who would weep and wail over her parents, and her brother, and her lost life. This was not the Twilight she met. This Twilight Sparkle had no more tears left in her. Maybe it was a blessing, even if she felt guilty for it, that her grief for her parents and brother so paled in…

- I. Without a way of telling it, time stretched out before Princess Twilight Sparkle like an ocean. Minutes melted into hours, hours melted into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, and years into decades, until the ocean of time swallowed her whole and she couldn’t even feel it around her anymore as she sunk to its bottom. Minutes could be as slow as centuries in this ocean just as easily as months could be as fast as seconds. “It’s a clock!” the…

- I. His name was Copper Tune. He was a unicorn. This was his first meeting. This was her fourth. There was a lot that could be said of Copper. That his coat—copper like his name—looked remarkably soft, almost as if inviting you to touch it. Or that his mane, a pretty olive green, should look wrong, like rust, but somehow fit him perfectly. Or that his cutie mark—a pink harpsichord—looked just a little out of place in that red sea. But what struck her, as he introduced himself,…

Dear friend. It has been a while, hasn't it? Or, at the very least, it certainly feels like it has for me. It certainly felt like it had for me, after that day. You do remember, do you not? Twilight Sparkle, who I loved like life itself, had ended our friendship, and in the days that followed, not much else mattered. Days felt like months to me, long and tortuous and as painful as the illness that plagued my heart. And my body. As such, I want to ask a favor of you. An indulgence,…- 119.3 K • Completed
In the dead of the night, staring up at the ceiling, the guilt screaming in her ears as loud as Night Light’s snoring, Twilight Velvet wondered if she was a terrible wife. She knew she wasn’t in the traditional sense. She did her share of the chores, helped raise two wonderful kids, spoke with him long into the night, and was there for him in sickness and health. She loved him. But he’d also been the only thing she’d ever known, her first boyfriend, the two of them…- 1.7 K • Oneshot
