    • Chapter 7 Cover
      by Starscribe — Orson lost track of time a little after that. His perfectly-managed schedule, where he organized exactly the right amount of time working for a particular class in order to perfectly understand everything he was supposed to learn—slipped. He made a few slight adjustments to his schedule, neglecting assignments he was sure wouldn’t be graded, and skipping out on a few clubs and activities. At least he’d never been enough of an overachiever to have leadership commitments, meaning that few would miss…
    • Chapter 21 Cover
      by Starscribe — For the first time since her transformation, Lane's sleep was dreamless and comfortable. She had a little trouble drifting off with Korina gone, but that was all. Nothing woke her too soon, and she might've slept well past the dawn if it wasn't for a nervous, buzzing voice that startled her from nearby. "You two are really cute together and everything, but you really need to wake up." Lane blinked, stirring abruptly to wakefulness. She'd never heard that voice before, with a…
    • Chapter 32 Cover
      by Starscribe — This was probably the wrong time to direct her attention to helping Delta. She would have more time once their position on this salvage ship was secure, and the communications were back up. Once that happened, she wouldn't have to rely on the will of a single, diminutive shred of Harmony to protect her from forces that desperately wanted to escape it.But when Harmony said that “her species” was driven to socialization and cooperation, she didn't really know for sure what that meant. But seeing a friend…
    • Chapter 41 Cover
      by Starscribe — Living in Ponyville had given Rose plenty of bad days. But of all her most frightening experiences, watching orderlies haul Tracy to the hospital was certainly on the list. If there was one mercy, it was that she hadn't known precisely when he was going to jump, so she hadn't been close enough to see the fall.She watched nervously as doctors flowed in and out of Tracy's room, listening for any hint of what might be happening. Whenever she asked, the responses did little to reassure her."Flying ponies…
    • Chapter 1: Entry Node Cover
      by Starscribe — Sunset paced through her room for the thousandth time, eying everything she had prepared. It looked as though someone had accidentally let a small tornado into the cramped space—the contents of every drawer and every shelf had been dumped onto the ground, so thick she couldn’t see the carpet.Being Celestia’s personal apprentice could have brought luxury, if Sunset Shimmer was another kind of pony. But Sunset wasn’t the sort of pony who had taken the position on political appointment. Sunset Shimmer…
    • Chapter 26 Cover
      by Starscribe — Lane realized she was being watched not even halfway to the cabin. She saw more than one set of little eyes poking up at her from between the flowers—but she didn't think much of it. She couldn't think of anything beside her burden, or else risk dropping the delicate human she carried. No matter how much she might want to stop, she just couldn't. Elisa was shivering constantly now, which Lane recognized dimly as the first symptoms of hypothermia. Soon her shivering would stop, then they…
    • Chapter 17 Cover
      by Starscribe — Jacob couldn’t have said how deep within Unity they were before he heard the first explosion. The air seemed to shake, his ears ringing despite who knew how many feet of intervening stone. Cries and whimpers echoed up from deeper into the castle, not all of them human.He tried to keep himself calmer than the other voices, following Harley down the stairs. “Unity has guns, it has guards. Ponies were ready for an attack, weren’t they?”Harley looked back, and her expression was grave. “A year ago we…
    • Chapter 1 Cover
      by Starscribe — After Twilight’s elevation to Alicorn, it was rare indeed for anything to make her feel small. In a single moment of power, she’d gone from an average unicorn to a princess whose magical powers would be told about in stories for generations to come, standing taller than most ponies in Equestria. She had used that power to defend her world, fighting alongside her pony friends and eventually many other creatures as well, all united against those who would oppose harmony. She had even dared to think that…
    • Chapter 4: Fascination Point Cover
      by Starscribe — User Ronald preferred when Starlight left him to his own devices and waited to be summoned. It was generally the way she preferred to work as well, allowing her ample time to focus on her own goals whenever she wasn’t needed, while also deriving the satisfaction of usefulness whenever he called. There were times when his desires were less significant than the continued existence of Equestria. That was what she worried about, right?Establishing a tunnel with his system was incredibly difficult, requiring…
    • Chapter 6 Cover
      by Starscribe — Jacob did a better job not looking the higher up they got. He felt his phone vibrate from his pocket, but didn’t dare reach for it to find out whatever message he might be getting. The latest in a string of impossible events was apparently being lifted into the air by winged… people… and carried up so high that his head started to spin. His grip started to slacken about the time he felt something paradoxically solid beneath him again, and the strong arms no longer carrying him. There was a few more…
