Rarity and company are apprehensive regarding their latest task: giving a friendly welcome to the arriving dignitaries from the far-off and mysterious country of Hippopolis. However, as it turns out, the hippos are already quite knowledgeable about friendship, and Rarity quickly falls head-over-heels for their leader, a paragon of generosity.

It's inconvenient to have repeating nightmares. So is having your magic stripped away, only to come back as a terrifying paranormal affinity. Meet Twilight Sparkle, who can now see all the ghosts and ghouls of the Equestrian world. A week has passed since she and her friends defeated Nightmare Moon, leaving her to contemplate her newfound friendships alongside herself. Who is she as a pony? Is her magic the only redeeming quality about herself? Lost in more ways than one, Princess Luna is the last pony on her mind, but could very well be the one to guide her through the confusion of her odd outlook on the world...

A certain pony, drifting in despair a year after losing her anchor, grieves for her mistakes. Of course, she is not the only one that grieves, and the other is willing to share the weight, even if only for a night.

I have lived my entire life among the ice at the top of the world with my pod. I knew little of the world outside of the ways of We of the Sea, and as a filly, that suited me just fine. But one day, the steel whales came, and on their backs, they carried creatures not unlike myself, yet wholly different. For while I swam in the sea, they walked on the land and flew through the air. Yet they reminded me of my kind, so curious, so tragic, and so infinitely precious. Where they did not understand, they sought to learn with a foolish stubbornness. Where they wandered far from home, they extended their hooves in friendship.

Where they waged their wars, they fought with a violent savagery that was frightening to me.

As I held a dear friend close, the breath fleeing from his body, I only wanted to know one thing.

This is a colab between me, and some other people. I'm not the host so go check out Skaltrox Defiance Knight, and kwr2k13 for their parts Lavender heart and Aspects of harmony respectively.

Power occasionally comes with a price.
Getting your brains blasted with enough magic to make manehattan glow for a decade is a small price to pay for being an alicorn.
It's still a price, though. It comes with drawbacks.
Twilight Sparkle's still trying to learn to deal with it.
