      deep in the Everfree Forest Cover
      by Monochromatic Snow Star had never been to the Everfree Forest before.  Truthfully, the majority of Ponyville had never dared venture into the Everfree Forest, period, repelled both by the timberwolves lurking in its depths and, if it was true, the latent magic of a terrible, terrible beast.  But, well… That was a thing of the past. Or the present, all things considered.  When she’d left for school that morning, her mother asked her if she’d slept well. The teen nodded, saying she had, which…
    • Of Bridges and Buses

      Of Bridges and Buses Cover
      by Monochromatic We are all stories in the end.  Your heart will stop, your breath will cease, your flesh will rot, but your story? It will live on and on, in the memories of those around you, in the dozens upon dozens of little echoes you left in your old apartment, in the corner of the local bar, in the scars you left while living on Earth.  Two people sit at a bus stop. What they look like isn’t important. Neither are their names.  The one on the left holds a paper in their left hand, the thin…
    • 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…

      distance makes the heart grow fonder Cover
      by Monochromatic When the castle appeared in the horizon, Twilight Sparkle felt she could cry.  The training program had taken an entire year. An entire year, three hundred sixty-five days plus twenty more if she accounted for travel time to the Arimaspi kingdom and back, and every single one of those days, she thought of home.  She still thought it was stupid, even if it was only stupid because of personal reasons, and even if she’d learned immensely and was ten times the soldier she was before. But it…
    • ’til death do us part

      ’til death do us part Cover
      by Monochromatic 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…

      perficere Cover
      by Monochromatic Perfect.  For as long as she remembered, Rarity was perfect.  The perfect face, the perfect body, the perfect smile, the perfect grades, the perfect personality, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends, the perfect life.  Then Blueblood broke up with her just as her parents were divorcing and she didn’t take that very much in stride, her life unravelling in a storm of bitterness and anger as her perfect world revealed itself to be anything but.  I would elaborate, dear…
    • … 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…
