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.

My name is Comet Tail, and I have died many times.

"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Special thanks to ScreamQueen and Rb for prereading and valuable feedback.

General content warning: Some depictions of blood, death, and debilitating injuries, but no graphic descriptions. Some existential horror.

Fluttershy is dead. But that's okay, Twilight can fix it. She can fix anything.

Written for Science Fiction Contest 3

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.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Spider-Man Season 1

After a few stressful months, Peter has now found his place as the new Defender of Equestria. With his new friends now aware of his dual identity as Spider-Man, Peter now feels more at home. Not only that, but it appears as if love might be in the air

But the threats aren't over yet, as old foes return once more to push our heroes to their limit. And will force Peter to show more of his hidden nature.

This story is a sequel to Tranquility

The most enigmatic of monsters will not carry the ugly faces of any beast, but your neighbor’s kindness in excess. A young draconequus named Discord has yet to learn this, and mortals may never do so. He learns this when he extends the generosity only a god can offer to an ailing mortal mare.

Amidst all this turmoil, the first lamia comes into being — and with them, all the chaos their creation was inevitably going to bring.

Thanks to Rego for editing, and particularly help with names.

In the distant future, a probe arrives in the skies above Equestria after a journey of five thousand years.

Once discovered, a mare's voice tells of a lost colony on the edge of the galaxy, and begs for rescue before issuing these last words: "I am sorry... I hope this was enough..."
