Equestrian culture in the 1030s got far-out, dude. It was the height of counter-culture, the try-everything times. Friendship, the magic preached by the older generations, hadn't stopped wars. Not on Equus, and not anywhere else. It was like, totally bogus.

It was a time all about... "finding yourself, dude". For some, that meant a bit of substance you wouldn't wanna show Celestia. For others, that meant involving yourself in movements, groups, all kinds of things to explore who you were. For very few, however, it meant a plane trip to the Evi valley and a crack at this whole "revolution" thing.

But, even the greatest of guerrillas need breaks, especially in this weather. It's too damn hot to revolutionize.

Starlight Glimmer gets a mysterious letter saying that her missing mother is alive within the abandoned Playtime Co. Toy Factory. She, along with her friend Trixie, go inside the factory to look for her mother. As they search the old factory, the girls see that there was more going on in the factory than simply making amazing toys. And to make things weirder, they get the feeling that they're being watched.

Great and Powerful Trixie lands the performance opportunity of a lifetime. A kingdom and all its riches are hers - as long as her audience doesn't kill her first.

An entry for the 2024 May Pairings contest.

After a decade of shirking his duties, a young buck finally takes on the legacy of his lineage: To be the keeper of stories in the world of ponies. In a ceremony that has endured for generations, he must first obtain the blessing of an elder. The last elder of his own kind. The Great Sage Fimbulpur, also know as a "Sage of Fate", and his grandfather. Except that the times for ceremony and ritual are long past, since obtaining that blessing now is an impossible task for him in more ways than one.

Thankfully for him, he can always depend on the help of a good friend he made long, long ago. A mare by the name of Cozy Glow.

After seeing that all of her friends are busy or too lazy to do anything, Pinkie Pie ends up getting bored and goes to the Magic Mirror Pond, then she creates and attempts to raise, her own Pinkie Pie's.

Fluttershy hits her head, and pops a gasket. And blows off some rage on ponies and animals in her wake.

Pinkie learns a new sentence and begins to use it, causing confusion in her wake.

What happens when our dear Doctor Whooves becomes aware of some being narrating his life? Will dastardly shenanigans occur? Can this stranger give our hero some insightful knowledge? Probably not, he's a bit of a prick.

My name, although it'd be nice to give you. ain't important. What is important, is making sure I stay sane. Now, what I need you to do, is take everything you see within this tome and spread it as far and wide as you can, I am trapped in a godforsaken land with a Stalker Princess, a twerp who does not know how to use magic, an asshat who doesn't know how to kEEP HER MOUTH SHUT and a few others I wish not to name to save space on paper. If I've caught and held your attention for long enough then good, because I forgot to mention that these beings I've refered to, are Ponies. Yes.

Ponies.
