    • Chapter 4: May 26 Cover
      by Starscribe — Dear Journal,I had strange dreams last night. I saw a field of stars populated with thousands and thousands of charging horses, their hooves like a thunderstorm all around me. I felt like Mufasa must have, right up until they came stampeding over me. Can’t say I cared for it much.But talking about dreams was more something I used this for before the whole world disappeared. Back when I had people to talk to about weird dreams and enjoyable work to do when I woke to take my mind off it all. Can’t say I…
    • Chapter 55: Kaelynn Cover
      by Starscribe — Kaelynn tried to focus on the water around her. There was another creature here, one that was bigger than she was. That explained why she'd never smelled this particular scent before—that was a male seapony. Ryan could copy her, but he hadn't been able to create anything truly new. Yet for his size, the moonlight did a poor job illuminating him. Or maybe it was just that her eyes were slow to adjust. And apparently his weren't, because nothing had actually touched her yet."Who are you?" she asked. Well,…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by Starscribe — A few years later...Kara's graduation was almost perfect.Parents and well-wishers filled the entire stadium, so thick she couldn't even identify where her parents were sitting. But even if she couldn't see them, they'd be able to see her, up near the front of the class wearing gold robes and with every extra sash the school offered. She understood, at least on an emotional level, that the ceremony was only the formality that came at the end of all her hard work. The spot waiting for her at Berkley's…
    • Chapter 12 Cover
      by Starscribe — Jacob nearly dropped his books as he made his way into the common room that night. "Eric?" His friend had wings, in soft blue but with bright accents down the edges. There was no mistaking biology when he saw it, though it was almost lost in the little changes. His friend was wearing a blue jumpsuit now, which explained the holes."Y-yeah." He nodded shyly. "It's... yeah."Instead of surprised, Harley just looked satisfied. "They only had to shock him twice.""Then push me off a cliff." Eric sounded only…
    • Together Cover
      by Starscribe — They didn't stay together much longer that night. Scootaloo insisted on walking her home, in a constant state of awkward silence. She had plenty of opportunities to test her new ability to smell and feel.Eventually they were back at the Boutique. They just looked at each other, with neither daring to speak. Sweetie reached for the handle, then pulled back. She ought to say something after a night like that."I hope I didn't go too far," her friend finally said. "If you were uncomfortable, you can tell me.…
    • Chapter 35 Cover
      by Starscribe — When Hayden first came to Shaymin House, she felt as though she had never truly experienced luxury in her life. Never had she seen a place of such abundance, where any desire could be readily fulfilled, so long as it didn't defy the desires of the house's patron. Mew House evoked that same feeling, elevated beyond even what she could previously imagine. Their castle was both ancient and modern, every room comfortable. It seemed that anywhere she went, there was a psychic-type servant within a few…
    • Chapter 21 Cover
      by Starscribe — They drove. Ocellus had lost track of just how long they’d been driving—long enough that some part of her just wanted to get out and fly. But however much she wanted to leave the humans behind, these were also the only intact humans she’d met so far that were friendly. There’s no telling what happened to Marie’s mind after what I did to her.It was selfish reasoning—probably they would’ve been safer to leave behind. But somehow she didn’t think they would’ve agreed. They wanted their…
    • Chapter 5 Cover
      by Starscribe — Unwilling RecruitJackie broke away from the kiss, screaming hysterical fear. She kicked and squealed as she fell, reaching out for something, anything she could use to catch herself. “Harley, save me!” she screamed, but the words were ripped away from her lips as she fell. She felt a sudden sharp pain between her shoulderblades, as though she had smacked against the rocky base of Unity on her way down. There was even the moisture of blood dribbling down her back—then she reached the clouds.Already…
    • Chapter 36 Cover
      by Starscribe — Jacob felt less confident the closer he came to the recording studio. He could hear distant voices, see studio lights shining down the hall, but that didn’t make things easier. What do I think I’m gonna do, tell an Alicorn she’s wrong to her face? Sunset Shimmer felt an enormous debt to him, and to the others who had rescued the imprisoned ponies. That gratitude was infused anew every time his magic saved one of her ponies. But that wasn’t the same thing as having the confidence to tell a pony as…
    • Chapter 10 Cover
      by Starscribe — Sweet Sauce took a few moments to recover from the explosion of sonic force. He stumbled backward, legs flung wildly in all directions. Eventually he found purchase on a nearby couch, and finally collected his wits. For once the sturdiness of these useless mudpony bodies actually amounted to something—a pegasus might've been rendered instantly unconscious upon impact. His ears rang, sound returning only after a few seconds. And when he heard it...It wasn't some incredibly overpowered music box, playing…
