It was supposed to be a simple spell. How did I make it? Just to test a theory. Just to see what was out there, beyond reality. It shouldn't be possible It wasn't able to affect anything. Why did I do this?

My submission to the Thousand Words Contest, Experimental category.

A contest? I was created for a contest?

Note; some formatting doesn't work on mobile. It's not much, but you only get the full intended effect on PC.

What effect? Why are you doing this to me?

What happens when a DJ, captain of the royal guard and a lunar guard have too much to drink and a deck of cards? Games of dress up poker. How can such events be explained to their respective significant others or commanding officers? Read and find out.

Time, as it turns out, is indeed finite. There is a certain point where, against all logic, everything ends. Of course, that's not something most will witness.

Twilight however, has been waiting a very long time to see it, and maybe something more.

Come closer here—my heart, my host.
Come closer. Hear my heart, my host,

Is only staid with presence close.
Were love a potion, ample dose.

My night-ful bride, I need your boon.
My baleful bride, I need you soon:

For what’s eclipsed by half a moon?

Twilight’s hosting her yearly white elephant gift exchange, and Princess Luna couldn’t be more honored to attend.  The camaraderie of spending an evening with friends captures the spirit of Hearth’s Warming in such a way that even a silly yet simple game can mean so much more.  But while the fire of friendship burns strong, so too does the fire of curiosity:

What could possibly be in that box?

Ever since Twilight blew back into Canterlot and insisted on becoming friends again, Moondancer’s life has been...better. Still not great, years of isolation can’t exactly be overturned overnight, but she is going outside more often at least.

One thing that is slow going, though, is getting her hygiene back under control. She had been doing the bare minimum for her mane and fur and unfortunately it was finally catching up to her…

That doesn’t mean she’s happy about getting a pity coupon. Moondancer is just going so she doesn't waste a gift. She doesn't really want to go. Honest.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Passion for Fashion contest with the prompt ‘faux pas’ and presented here with much expansion (this entry is over 5k words more than my original contest entry lol). Thanks to everyone who read and commented and helped me edit afterwards - you guys are amazing!

No one alive today can say where she came from; simply that she has always been there.

And yet, few ponies have had a greater impact on Princess Celestia's life than Raven, her most faithful aide.

Inspired by and based off of a headcanon put forth by Heir-of-Rick, though perhaps a bit less insidious than what he had in mind. He very kindly provided an alternate version of his image for me to use as my cover image! Text added by me.

All comments and criticism very welcome!

This story is a sequel to Why She Serves

Tempest Shadow
Fizzlepop Berrytwist has been dating Twilight Sparkle for some time now. Far from going soft, she feels like the experience has made her stronger than ever. And yet an old friend, fear, has left her unsure of herself for the first time in a while. How will she deal with it? She'll need to rely on the power of friendship. 
This might also involve a lot of alcohol, sweets of questionable origin, and borderline abduction. She never said she worked all the Tempest out of her system. 
A follow up to my story Why She Serves. Set after the climax but both before and after the epilog. Following the model of one of the Elements asks all the rest for advice genre, but with a Tempest twist obviously. 
I really just wanted to do a little bit more with the setting and characters of the original story, so here we are. Hopefully you'll all like this take on a slightly older and more mature Tempest Fizz. Let me know what you think.

Tempest Shadow was saved twice by Twilight Sparkle. First from The Storm King, then from punishment for what she had done under his command. It would stand to reason that she feels eternally grateful towards the princess of friendship and promises to do all she can to repay the kindness she has shown her.
But now Tempest, or is it Fizzle Pop, feels like she cannot fulfill that duty to Twilight, at least not while Twilight herself is around her.

I honestly put off watching the movie for so long because I didn't know how I would feel about it. It was better then I thought it would be, but I was most interested in the new character it added to the series. The prevalence of Tempest fics lately has led me to finally decide to do my own. I'm really interested in diving into a not as well defined character for once, so let me know what you think of my interpretation of her. Comments are always welcome, good or bad.

A mysterious “World Circus” has come to Ponyville; though, not all is as it seems. When Twilight learns the motives behind the grandeur, she finds only death and despair lying within its machinations. But somewhere in the illusions and fabricated realities lies the truth she so desperately must find to save herself and the world as she knows it.
