Fluttershy's always felt more than a little different from the other foals her age, but it wasn't until recently that she came to terms with one of the reasons why that might be. Her best friend, Jet Stream, has always supported her, despite how different they are...but he's been acting a little weird lately. Fluttershy wants to believe it doesn't have anything to do with her, but she's the only thing that's changed recently. Is she going to have to choose between her true self and her only friend, or is there something else entirely going on?

Cadance and Shining's world comes to a screeching halt when they are visited by a specter from their past.

My entry for the Dialogue Only Contest.

Equestria has witnessed centuries of rapid technological advancement during Twilight's rule. Innovations in the production and integration of magic has led to countless improvements in the quality and efficiency of life in Equestria, and enabling ponies to finally touch the stars and new worlds. However, with the rise of more and more energy-heavy processes and a stagnation in development regarding the extraction of energy, Twilight turns to the biggest and final step in energy extraction: a dyson sphere: a massive device that would surround the sun and allow virtually all the energy released through nuclear fusion to be harnessed by Equestria.

Two former princesses have some concerns.

The only thing more shocking than a letter from their parents is what it says.

After all of this tiem, Twilight has ascended to the throne. Alas, an Alicorn may or may not live forever, but other subspecies of Ponies have a much shorter lifespan.

Without her best friends, Twilight has a hard time moving forward, sadness and frustration beginning to affect her day to day life. But her eldest fellow princess has an idea; a shrine is built to commemorate their friendship.

Twilight reminisces, remembering those that she'd loved and lost.

Berry Punch has taken to the hobby of pulling out the old lawn chair and watching Ponyville explode. It seemed a little too common at this point to be honest. How many times could a town explode before it got old?

Everything was going the way it usually did. Her on a lawn chair, bottle of wine in hoof, and a catastrophic event playing out in front of her that would no doubt be written in the history books. A usual afternoon in Ponyville.

Then a certain dragonequus shows up, drained of his magic, down on his luck, and in need of some mortal wisdom.

The fate of Equestria rests in her hooves, and Berry Punch doesn't even know it.

Turns out Trixie Lulamoon isn't as great and powerful as she says. After the loss of her only friend, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie returns to her caravan. She recalls the death of her mother, and loss of everypony she has cared about. Perhaps her life is a lost cause?

With Equestria at peace and harmony reaching across all the realm, for Twilight, it was only natural she'd want to expand further. Whether it was her curiosity or her hubris, Twilight soon finds herself hanging between here and eternity.

I really gotta get better at writing descriptions. But uh, yeah. Enjoy my attempt at nihilism! That's probably never been said before, holy hecc.

Despite moving to Ponyville, Octavia's career is going strong. In high society, name and recognition is everything, this is holds true for anypony who wishes to work in those circles. So sometimes having a reputation helps in getting those well paying jobs at private parties.

But sometimes? Sometimes Octavia hates her reputation. Because when a pony is found dead in the estate of House Radon, every eye turns to her to figure out who killed the pony, including the main suspect herself: Lyra Heartstrings.

With the rest of Canterlot a blizzard away, help is not likely to show up any time soon. So not only will Octavia have to figure out who among the guests is a killer, she'll also need to confront past demons she wishes she'd left behind.

Sometime after the events of the first TYT special: The Blockywockys, Allura, still mad at the fact that she and Twitch was so close to getting the Nova Charm, finds a way to get revenge on the ponies.
