To help Applejack relax and be away from her farm life and her grief, Rarity takes the farm mare and both their little sisters, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom to the soft and sunny beaches of Puerto Caballo with their pets.

That was, however, when an unknown disaster stuck Equestria, causing a change of plans. This led to the four fillies, cat, and dog stranded on a desert island with no way to get home, if said home is still there.

Through scientific invention, Twilight shielded her eyes from witnessing the inevitable deaths of her friends. 

And her wife.

It worked. 

For a while.

In the latent space, Twilight searches for an image of Rarity she can still see.

A Season 10 of MLP:FiM that retcons The Last Problem and G5, and basically pretends as if both never existed.

Twilight moves back to Ponyville and decides to rule from there, after feeling homesick.

Flash Sentry was done trying to ask Sunset out. Between any number of magical threats she, and she alone, could handle, and her already busy school plate, she didn't have time to be asked out, let alone go on a date.

And throughout all his attempts, Derpy Hooves was there, ready to give him a pat on the back and a word of encouragement. But, during a conversation, Derpy lets it slip that there is another reason she was trying to help, and Flash figures it out.

This is an entry into the May Pairings Contest, being hosted by Wander D. I haven't seen any other fics with this particular ship, so I'd count it as rare enough.

Invading an extra-dimensional mad scientist's secret lair? No big deal for the agents of S.M.I.L.E.

But what Lyra and Bon Bon find there might give them some second thoughts.

I originally did a quick sprint for a for funsies contest on beans writing group. Bean's Writing Group - Fimfiction

I haven't written in... a while, and I wanted to see if I could stretch a bit to get it done.

What is actually about?!

Well the original prompt was literally just "Ponies watching stars" and I've always leaned towards a bit more cosmic horror when it came to stars.

Due to recent personal items I've also been a bit out of sorts with regards to my own internal philosophy and as I was writing this I felt that it ended up capturing that kind of feeling very well.
