The pony sitting at the desk set down his quill in deep red magic, turning to look at them. He was—Twilight almost couldn’t look away.Twilight Sparkle had met plenty of attractive stallions since visiting Ponyville—Applejack’s older brother was built like a house, and could actually pull one if he wanted to. But so many of the Ponyville locals were like that—rugged, unrefined, raw. This Regolith was an entirely different kind of attractive. In his bright red eyes, Twilight saw a depth of…-

“This doesn’t look like the toughest vault in Equestria,” Twilight muttered, squinting through the gloom at the donut shop. It was closed, like so many other things this late at night. Nopony wanted a donut at midnight. I know this place. Donut Joe, are you a vampire too?She doubted it, but Twilight made a mental note to check, just in case.“That’s because you don’t know what you’re looking for,” Rarity said, turning sharply as they passed the alley. Twilight was forced to follow along…

It was too loud to have much of a conversation in here. Twilight still felt drained, but not so exhausted that she would just let the insanity she'd just witnessed slip by. One of her best friends had just killed a pony before her eyes, except moments later he had risen to his hooves and spoken to Twilight as though nothing happened. She herself had teleported a pony who should've died traveling at the speed of an express train, to who knew what fate when she hit the ground.So despite the noise, despite…

Twilight Sparkle hadn't intended to sleep so long. But considering what she had endured—more than anypony she knew who wasn't an alicorn—she hadn't bothered to set her alarm. Her mission to see Rarity was important, but surely whatever Charon had meant could wait a few hours.By the time she finally woke up, the light streaming in through her blinds was already stained orange. A quick glance at her calendar on the wall told her it was Friday, which didn't bode well. Rarity spent her Friday evenings…

Emmet didn’t wake in his family’s palatial mausoleum, in a bedroom that felt too large and air that was too conditioned. The first thing he felt was the warmth of his blankets, heavy and hot. Maybe a little uncomfortable, even.He sat up in bed, and found he knew how. What he saw beneath him was strange—but he knew to expect it, so that wasn’t so bad. A coat so white it almost shone when the sun struck it. No hands, just flat stumps. Hooves, he corrected. They weren’t stumps. “How do…-

The bedroom door opened, and Princess Luna walked in. Recursion couldn’t help but laugh—seeing the powerful Alicorn princess in her little sister’s college bedroom seemed surreal. Recursion had grown far more comfortable around the princess in the last few decades, and so she didn’t bow or feel afraid as her friends always seemed to.There was nothing behind the bedroom door, only an endless, featureless void. Luna walked past her without a word, surveying the bedroom. Only after several long…-

The first thing Avery felt was the dashboard as she smacked into it. Her seatbelt had somehow slipped off her arms, though it held her more firmly around her legs. If it wasn’t for that, she might’ve gone through the windshield. She could smell the fuel after that, hear the persistent siren in the car as it wailed.She must’ve hit damn hard, because nothing felt right. Her extremities had gone numb, and her head throbbed in a way worse than any of her migraines.After an indeterminate length of time,…-

Twilight Sparkle was hard at work. Ever since receiving a whole castle for herself, she hadn’t had to pack her lab away into a tiny basement that was barely large enough for all her equipment. The castle had plenty of rooms, and so she dedicated one of the biggest upper chambers (where tourist ponies visiting from far afield wouldn’t accidentally stumble into it) to her labratory.Unlike the rest of the castle (and indeed, the rest of her life), Twilight had allowed the lab to become somewhat messy in…-

There were only a few Royal Guards along for the ride to Canterlot, far less than the number who were staying in Ponyville to keep an eye on the newcomers and reassure the populace that life was going to continue as normal. It was a good idea, but that didn't mean Princess Twilight trusted herself and her friends alone to protect their important guests.|Amber Sands was one of the few that had been assigned to come along for the journey, and from the outside she was almost exactly what might be expected…-

When Theo had first arrived at Barrow, he’d stepped out of a truck into the village and seen several dogs just lounging out in the snow. He hadn’t understood then how they could be so comfortable in temperatures that drained the life out of every inch of his exposed skin, temperatures that would give his ears frostbite in under an hour.But now that all his clothing had been torn or been rendered near-useless and he had no choice, he was discovering exactly how useful a fur coat could be. The village…-
