Time, the ever-flowing measure of action. It is not a physical thing that one can touch or feel, but an abstract thought of the difference between now, then, and later. It is the indefinite continued progress of existence. What happens when one has the ability to control time? He is deemed one of the most powerful beings on the planet, for he can stop you in your tracks without any effort at all.

This is a rewrite of the rewrite. The original Time and Time Again has been removed. I hope you all enjoy this version better.

After experiencing an intense nightmare while attending Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle sets out to unravel the mystery of its source. Unfortunately for her, the answers lie in a place she'd rather not look: her fellow students.

If you can hear my voice, know that Equestria is on an aethereal precipice. Your fascination with the Night has ensured you are already attuned to the latent dark energies of the Aether, allowing me to share insight into what has yet to come. Keep these insights to yourself.

Lemon Hearts never thought she'd make much of her life. She was always too much or not enough, never just right.

While teaching modern, formal dining etiquette to the newly-returned Princess Luna, she comes to realize that her feelings of inadequacy are not as singular as they always seemed.

Some mysterious thieves broke into the biggest museum of Canterlot and got away with two precious paintings made by Starswirl himself. And the only witness could barely remember anything. But with the help of an unexpected friend, Copper Top takes on the case and does everything she can to find the real culprits and to prove who actually is innocent and who is not.

Stumbling out of a crashed TARDIS, the Doctor arrives in Canterlot over a thousand years in the past, and quickly befriends one of the most famous unicorns of the time. At the same time, the Doctor has to recover from a regeneration, and stave off the Weeping Pegasi.

Note: While the "Time Turner" tag is used, that Doctor Whooves design does not appear in the fic. The pre-regeneration Doctor looks like this, and the post regeneration Doctor looks like this.

Sepia Tock is an artisan, friend, and citizen of Ponyville. He is not, however, Doctor Whoof.
This is his story

Golden Harvest is not jealous. Sure, her neighbor Applejack has a life of adventure and glamor, friends who are national heroes and princesses, an appallingly lucrative share in the local fruit market, and firm, toned flanks. And sure, by contrast, Golden Harvest has been stuck with her snout in the same old muddy patch of carrots pretty much every day since she earned her cutie mark, her best friend is a dentist, and her idea for a 'Carrot Juice Season' never really gained much ground for some reason. But Golden Harvest is not jealous.

Not jealous at all.

She just wishes Applejack would stop being so distracting.

This story is a sequel to Fluttershy's First Date

Fluttershy and Colgate have been dating for six months and while they are both happy, Colgate realizes that she is ready to be more than marefriends with her. In her efforts to get Fluttershy to say yes to the big question, Colgate will do many unexpected things.

It was supposed to be a simple get-together. Moondancer, Lyra, Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Lemon Hearts were going to meet their old friend Twilight at a local bookstore and then go out for dinner. But somepony had the bright idea of hitting up a bar beforehand.

And then the bookstore turned out to be one of those seedy establishments peddling magic books that suck unsuspecting readers into the narrative. Oops.

Now these five mares are stuck in a maze, one built from the plots of dozens of different books. Fortunately, as graduates of Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, they’re ideally suited to escape this literary labyrinth... Or they would be, if they were a little more sober.

This is yet another exquisite corpse, so don't expect this to make too much sense. At least this time, we didn't write something that's completely impenetrable if you haven't read all our prior fanfics. Instead, we wrote something that's completely impenetrable if you haven't read a bunch of literary classics! We're moving up in the world.
