“Wesley?” Amie asked, confused. They were alone in his office. Mr. Albrecht still dressed, though he was one of the few staff members to bother wearing so much. Amie herself had modified a rain-coat for the wettest days, but that was all. Within the first few days, “wearing clothes” had solidified as something the “camp” people did. Those who went out into the wild—hiking through mud and dirt and sometimes camping for a few days—wore only practical things. “I know Wes, he wouldn’t cause…-

Orson’s graduation party was almost everything he imagined it would be. But considering how low the prices for venues could be these days, he would’ve been insane not to take full advantage. Besides, after four years of financial responsibility in college, his family was footing the bill for once.The party couldn’t be perfect, of course. Where his college town had once had a dozen different bakeries, now there was only the single big-box store left, and its selection of non-pony related treats left…-

Lyra led the way into the massive facility, shielding her eyes with the back of one arm against the incredible light. She glanced behind her at the growing distance between herself and the other members of her group. Maybe it would be more frightening if she were at their eye-level, with machines looming over her instead of settled right where she might look at something. The Conflux was the single largest interior space Lyra had ever seen—larger than any grand ballroom in Canterlot, larger than…-

Weeks turned into months, and winter came and went outside the walls of the Dressage Hotel. Much changed in that huge building, beyond renaming it to Stella Lacus and expanding into new structures in the newly-vacated buildings around it. Some of those were other facilities they needed—a shipping warehouse and processing center, along with the largest Rent-a-Friend in Equestria.There, under a different brand name, creatures of all kinds could come and meet with changelings—and anything else they wanted…

Escape through the ring. 52% Twilight would’ve loved to stay behind in this amazing station and study it for a hundred years. The technology that had built it was so advanced as to fill her with awe—and hope—for Equestria’s own future. If these builders could build impressive megastructures, there was no saying Equestria couldn’t too.But however curious she was, however much she had to see what happened, her friends were still comatose, and the air was running out. Not to mention there was just…-

"You're sure about it this time, Amie? I don't have to leave?" Rick settled comfortably into his wheelchair. He would be comfortable, with Beth pushing him gently along. The changeling wore no disguise to hide his true nature. But considering how much he had changed; the bug had the least to hide.Rick's black shell was gone, replaced by several shades of blue melting to green near his hooves. Not the same bright colors as Wes, but clearly the same species. His wings had the same distinct look, hiding under…

Twilight gets air, Sunset fixes the Equinox 43%“I’m not happy you left her up here,” Spike’s voice said over the radio, following Twilight through the halls towards the docking bay. She moved quite slowly, both from the lack of gravity and the bulky EVA suit that she wore. “I don’t trust her yet. Fluttershy is too kind to stop her if she tries anything we don’t want her to.”“Sunset isn’t as bad as she used to be,” Twilight muttered, rounding the corner towards the docking bay. She was…

How many ways were there to build a nation? The planet she came from had its own infinity of answers, each one leading to dramatically different outcomes. But across all of human history, she couldn’t imagine any would resemble the path that she had ended up on now. No one had ever needed to build a city using a population of children all transformed into new bodies, given strange new powers that none of them fully understood. All the while, they were entirely surrounded by a population who feared and…

Wake up Sunset with her magic. 68%Twilight sat back in the medical bay, surrounded by spent spellcasting ingredients and broken crystal. She’d used more than half the stores of magical supplies on this spell—but just now she didn’t care. “I still don’t think… it’s reckless to use experimental spells to treat a living patient,” Fluttershy said. “She would probably wake up in her own time.” “Maybe she would,” Twilight said, shrugging one wing. She was too exhausted to argue, her mane…

Amie watched the bugs of her swarm work over the wreckage of their home. She still remembered the early days after the Transit. Back then, campers believed they were going to be swiftly returned to their homes. They thought of themselves more like victims than people who needed to work desperately to survive. There was no hesitation this time, no large group of bugs doing whatever they could to avoid being in the same area as hard work. There was no one in Stella Lacus who didn’t want to be part of the…
