A life of reverence for the sea, the tides they bring, the wonders they keep.

And the dreams they give.

Twilight Sparkle and her closest friends have been tasked with planning the class senior trip over spring break. They are going on a cruise! Twilight happily took the lead to plan most of the activities and accommodations, but additional input is always welcomed. This is the last meeting before the vacation begins!

Written for Perfectly Insane's dialogue only story contest. Found here.

Cadance and Shining's world comes to a screeching halt when they are visited by a specter from their past.

Turns out Trixie Lulamoon isn't as great and powerful as she says. After the loss of her only friend, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie returns to her caravan. She recalls the death of her mother, and loss of everypony she has cared about. Perhaps her life is a lost cause?

A vast expanse, often covered in snow, freezing for most of the year, and what little life there is often hides away from the weather where it can. How did Thorax survive that? A changeling, battered and weak, with the closest source of sapient love far, far away, is usually a dead changeling, and the tundra is very unforgiving.

Note: The prologue is filled with scientific jargon. It should be readable to most, though it might not be the easiest to go through, so I have a summary in the author's note at the bottom just in case. Later parts have narration more befitting Thorax.

“On the Thousandth Summer Sun, Equestria was plunged into a new eternal night...”

For now the fires have been put out and the bodies laid to rest but, the future remains uncertain in this new regime.

Some hold tight the names they carried before the sun was stolen away, others have taken the chance to reinvent themselves completely. It’s a slim chance anypony remembers who you were before the Fall of Night.

This makes your job as a royal census taker quite difficult, especially since your predecessor’s records were, unfortunately, completely lost in the conversion of Canterlot Castle from capitol to penitentiary.

In any case, what better place to start than the crossroads of this new Equestria, a growing district just outside the Old Everfree and New Castle of the Night: Ponyville.

Author's Note: I haven't written for a looong time, and this story has been sitting in my drafts since 2021. I pretty much completely forgot about it, and I don't particularly intend to finish it, but I do like the setup I'd created and figure it would be better to publish it as incomplete than let it be unviewable. So here it is!

Chrysalis is banished, hoping to put down new roots outside Equestria. But when she discovers an ancient kingdom, her past comes into focus. Meanwhile two changelings conspire against her leadership, but their motives change as the situation evolves.
