It's another casual, lazy night at Vinyl Scratch's. Everything's going fine until Octavia inadvertently sparks a heated debate over the legitimacy of Vinyl's chosen genre.

Rated teen for mild language.

Like many of us, Twilight likes to start her day with a piping hot cup of caffeinated bean juice. But when she wakes up one morning to find that her can is empty, she sends Spike out on a mission to fetch her a fresh cup before her scheduled study time.

What could be easier?

Vinyl Scratch has two options, one leading to safety, the other to certain death. However, both these outcomes are influenced by the one difficult choice that she never wanted to make, whether dream or reality.

It's letting go.

A short story about the blossoming romance between a struggling baker and an enchanting young lass who changes his life forever.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," or so the saying goes. It is a reminder that revenge, no matter how justified it may seem, never solves anything. It is also completely irrelevant to this story.

Instead, we join the Great and Powerful Trixie, who has once again returned to Ponyville to find Twilight Sparkle. This time, however, she comes seeking the help of a friend. Something old and dark is stirring, and she's convinced it's out for blood.

If Twilight Sparkle had her way, she would never use the dark magic of King Sombra again.

Fate is not her friend. A new discovery in the Frozen Wastes outside the Crystal Empire has drawn her into a new adventure. When King Sombra returns to claim the throne of not just the Empire, but Equestria itself, Twilight is tested to her fullest.

Spike finds himself in the middle of a growth spurt. Rainbow Dash is missing. Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy are being pursued by timberwolves. All across Equestria, Sombra’s influence is felt.

The solution to Twilight’s problem may be found in Equestria’s history, if that doesn't just open up a tide of new issues. Can even the Elements of Harmony stop Sombra this time?

Prequel/Side Story: Fathers

When Pinkie Pie ignores Zecora's warnings about the proper preparation of chuckleberries, she ends up locked in a battle with Sugarcube Corner's kitchen. Not just IN the kitchen. WITH the kitchen. Only Pinkie could be in a situation this ridiculous.

Twilight and Applejack get more than they bargained for when they agree to get Pinkie Pie out of Sugarcube Corner for the day. Pinkie's sudden obsession with the bakery's back door leads to an improbable adventure that sweeps Fluttershy up in its wake.
