When ponies say they'll do anything to achieve some goal, they rarely mean it. Morals, ethics, common sense, physical limitations, something will stand between them and true, full commitment to fulfilling the task ahead of them.

A mare raised from foalhood by Equestria's last true alicorn is not so limited. Even methods that alicorn hesitates to use are fair game as far as she's concerned.

Misty is about to make her mentor either very proud or very angry. Possibly both.

A belated G5 Halloween tale written when inspiration struck.

While singing her villain song, Opaline accidentally opens a line of communication with Misty. This quickly devolves into a conversation about the aspects of Opaline's songwriting...and, for some reason, movie villains.

(Honestly, this was something that popped in my head. Please don't take it too seriously.)

Misty has finally left Opaline and her lair behind, but moving out is only the first step of shedding the thoughts and doubts that still haunt her.
Luckily, her new friends are willing to help her adjust and teach her about life in Maretime Bay.

Written after Chapter 4, containing spoilers thereof, and sure to be outdated by future episodes.

An alternate take on events that begins in the middle of Chapter 2, Episode 6 ("The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over") of Make Your Mark. This story assumes reader knowledge of the show up to that point.

Zipp had a lot of suspicions about Misty, the strange unicorn that Izzy had met in town earlier that day and invited to an impromptu sleepover party at the Brighthouse. But while she'd been exercising her detective skills on their guest all night as the oddities surrounding her piled up, she hadn't meant to drive Misty away. So when, after Misty flees from the party in a panic, Zipp notices that she's still out in the Brighthouse's garden, pacing frantically, Zipp decides to see if she can talk to her, and figure out just what is going on with this curious new pony.

And what she learns may well give Zipp room for pause -- and a need to exercise some comfort skills.

Please note that while this fic is rated E, there is some mild discussion of parental/familial abuse.

She isn't free. It's a prison sentence with furloughs, and how is she supposed to enjoy time away from the castle when she always has to go back? There's also wardens watching her on both ends and somehow, the pegasus is the less reasonable of the two. And when she's been doing the same things for as long as she can remember...

It's four a.m. That's when the servant polishes the throne room.

Maybe Misty Brightdawn wouldn't be cleaning. But the unicorn mare still doesn't know who that is.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Mark interpretation by Sol-R.

Misty has a cutie mark, but she doesn't even know what it's for. Her name is unrelated to anything, it's just a thing. She doesn't even know her parents.

But maybe her friends can help her find who she really is—or help her consider who she should really be.

Misty came home from the party the town had. It was fun! Sure was, but geez she feels overwhelmed. Pipp comes in and invites her back but it doesn't quite go as either plans.

A lightly romantic and very feel good oneshot fic where Misty gets meaningful advice from the confident popstar~

Misty is buying presents for the main five and Pipp is giving her much needed help. Then all their friends start acting like crazy people and they really can't figure out why... Not until the party at least.

Written for Briarlight for Jinglemas 2022

When Misty gave her the modern device called a phone, she thought she'd only use it to occasionally check on her foes, maybe watch some of their make up videos after all evil has to look good, and of course listen to the songs and OH THEY HAVE MERCH... this might be a problem
