    • Unspoken Truths

      Unspoken Truths Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Luna sat by the sea.  It was a sea made of stars, stretching out before her like an endless expanse, constellations and galaxies and lustrous nebulae swirling around the abyss in a pattern that made no particular sense.  Life, she’d found, didn’t often make sense. Life, really, was just a series of things and events that didn't make sense, but one had to try to make sense of them nonetheless.  For a thousand years— For most of her life, Princess Luna’s thoughts…
    • The Celestia Debate

      The Celestia Debate Cover
      by Monochromatic A crisp wind chilled Twilight Sparkle, her wings rustling at her side. Truthfully, she would have liked this meeting to happen inside the castle, where she would be warm, but Cadance had insisted on holding it outside for fresh air. So, there they all were instead—they being herself, Rarity, Princess Luna, Cadance, as well as Spike and Rainbow—all gathered in a courtyard outside the castle.  “So, let me get this straight...” Spike lay slumped in the castle gardens, an enormous claw…
    • Part IV

      Part IV Cover
      by Monochromatic It took them three days to make it to the village, following directions given to them by Incantation. No direct roads ran there; they cut across open country and under the eaves of the great forest, a cloak hiding Mender’s form. Twilight stuck closer to Mender than her own shadow, eyes ever-open for any impediment in her path, any roots, any abrupt dips or hazards that could take the creature by surprise. Their progress was slow but steady. Both she and Mender could endure a long day’s travel,…
    • Abuela is on the case!

      by Monochromatic Today we find the elderly Hortensia “Abuela” Mondragon in her most natural and comfortable state: being a relentless busybody.  Standing thin and tall under the frame of the kitchen door, wearing her Wednesday best, Abuela takes in the state of affairs through her thick, blue glasses: the counters piled with ingredients in varying states of preparation; a cookbook titled ‘America Does Have a Cuisine’ propped open to a meatloaf recipe; and, most importantly, her fellow elder Po Po—short…

      cicadas in the summertime Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity hadn't slept with many men—not because there was shame to it, but because it was simply not her interest—but she’d gone to bed with enough of them to feel she’d pretty much experienced it all, seen it all, felt it all.  Even while still dating Blueblood, she thought she’d pretty much never feel butterflies ever again. That twisting hurricane in her stomach and below, the frenetic beating of a hopeful heart, the dizzying intensity of emotions and thoughts that made it difficult to exist…

      stop harshing my vibes with your murder Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity Belle liked to think she deserved a great life.  She was an up-and-coming designer; she’d graduated from school with honors, been hired immediately after a successful internship with a prestigious designer, and rented a one-bedroom apartment in the city without a guarantor—she was, by and large, successful. She was supposed to be living her best life.  She was living her best life, she thought to herself, staring down at the sketchbook on her desk inside her private…

If my life in the future was plagued by isolation, my return to the present was everything but.

      Love At Second First Sight Cover
      by Monochromatic Our story begins with a letter, an alicorn, and half her memories gone.  ‘Dear Princess Twilight,’ it reads, written in beautiful calligraphy, ‘you have consented to magically-induced temporary amnesia.

Crucially, certain ponies in your life have been removed from your memories, so as to prove a very important point on the matter of destiny and…
