Twilight receives an urgent message from Sunset Shimmer, a vague cry for help against an unnamed threat. She races to the rescue without question or hesitation, and arrives to find a floating eyeball from beyond the bounds of corporeal reality taking up residence in her kitchen. Is it evil? Malicious? A threat to life as we know it?

...Maybe? It's creepy as heck, either way, and it's wreaking havoc on Sunset's social life, so it's gotta go.

Herman always believed that ponies were an exceedingly friendly bunch, and he figured it was in their nature to be open and kind to all strangers—even to those of different races. But what if he was wrong? What if there was another explanation?

He mentions this fact in his memoirs, but shortly after he sends them to be published he is informed that the Royal Guard wants him for questioning in Canterlot.

Starlight Glimmer wakes up to a town filled with nonsense-speaking ponies. She has to get to the bottom of everypony's sudden bizarre, colorful aphasia.

I have no regrets!

After a long day of grueling Wonderbolt practice, Rainbow Dash arrives home to find that her marefriend Rarity has set up a scavenger hunt for her. With promises of a prize, Dash sets aside her rest to solve it!

Somewhat inspired by Raridash Doodles.

At the heart of the enemy's stronghold! Surrounded by the enemy host! Outnumbered by hundreds to one!
Negotiatons breakdown! Diplomacy fails!
War!
War is declared!

Come at me, breezie.

With a fire in front and stars way above, with cider so crisp and a feeling of love.
Time to enjoy, with good company
where sweet nothing happens
and happens
so nicely.

A lot of ponies wouldn't realize just how terrible Starlight's crimes were, Starlight included. Defeated, chastened, remorseful, guilty, now all that remains is for her sentence to be laid. She needs her record set straight, sentenced to a punishment just as severe as all the terrible things she's done. It's up to Twilight Sparkle and her friends to impart on Starlight Glimmer just how serious her actions were, and what consequences she will have to face for her many crimes against Equestria.

One wintry evening, a frozen, half starved and exhausted mare wanders into Ponyville from out of the wilderness. It seems straightforward on how to deal with her, a traveller from a world of humans across the forbidden Void, on an adventure in Equestria. Welcoming her, the Element Bearers try to befriend this mare, aid in her quest, and help her find her way home again.

Things don’t quite work out as planned.

This story is a sequel to Melt

This is a sequel to Melt, but can be read independently.

The common cold is, for Celestia, quite rare. Whenever she does catch one it's a time for privacy, reflection, and no shortage of small miseries.

That said, she's never had Twilight Sparkle on her side before. Maybe, just maybe, this cold won't know what hit it.
