    • Chapter 67: Blake Cover
      by Starscribe — Blake didn't crash the Bright Hawk on their flight out of Canterlot. Of course he didn't tell anyone that the real challenge would come when he tried to land anywhere. Taking off was really just a matter of giving them enough lift to go up, then not going into any of the flight-lanes reserved for ponies instead of ships. His own personal expertise helped a little when choosing a destination. Just because he'd never done anything with demolitions didn't mean he couldn't give some advice. "We need somewhere…
    • Chapter 5 Cover
      by Starscribe — They didn’t go to Azucar3, but they did give her a drink. Just through the door was the basement retreat, with its size stretching far greater than the building overhead. Despite having the same shape, the underground rooms were entirely transformed since the last time. Every broken glass container was back together, every piece of torn art hanging where it used to be. Even the walls weren’t burned anymore. They didn’t go back to the dead-end where she had fired at a dangerous assailant with…
    • Chapter 68: Alicorn Record Cover
      by Starscribe — Firefly followed Lilac through the doorway into the strange cavern. She kept to the cavern’s edge, staying far from that dark water. There was no telling what would happen to any creature who fell through it, but she knew she didn’t want to find out.“A low place,” she said, her voice echoing strangely in the cavern. “I remember you mentioned something like that before. We need it for... spells that looked back at—”Her friend had said the word not long before, to open the secret passage. Try…
    • Chapter 19 Cover
      by Starscribe — Hayden wanted to rush through everything, but her new hair made that task incredibly difficult. After a brief rinse, Eleanor whipped the towel off of her and sent her straight back. "Maybe with an inch of guy's hair you could get away with that. You're a disaster. You need to soap everywhere, then I want you to use like... a ton of conditioner. I should smell it so strong my eyes water. Got it?" She did. The second time Hayden stood in the steamy water until it actually started to make…
    • Chapter 10: The Glow Cover
      by Starscribe — “There,” Nightbreeze proclaimed, after twenty minutes of painfully slow work. “Not that you’ll wear that again. But if you did want to, you’d be able to.” She carried the last of several hangers into the wardrobe.“Thank God.” Hayden stretched each of her limbs in turn, feeling as though she’d just had shackles removed from all over her body. “Every time I moved I thought I was going to tear something.”“Well… you did. Damage the dress, I mean. Not that it matters—one of Luna’s…
    • Chapter 51 Cover
      by Starscribe — They were airborne. Hayden didn't know exactly how high at that point—high enough that her home was a distant flicker far below, without even the smallest suggestion of the visiting ships. Still they ascended, through air that whipped at her dress and chilled against bare skin underneath. In the presence of Fae, the cold never became anything more than uncomfortable. Yet he didn't channel any of those powers of heat to warm her, either. It was probably her imagination, but Hayden thought she…
    • Chapter Thirty-Three Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh zipped away from Lane, flying as rapidly as she could. But she wasn't trying to escape this time—she copied what the flygon had done, flying along the sand as close as she could. She willed it up into the air after her, gathering the sand behind her into a wave. As she fought she felt the heat of her body building into a sudden bonfire, glowing hotter and brighter. She wasn't Lane—for Shiloh, there could be no power without heat. There was no vulnerable building or smaller Pokémon to…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by Starscribe — Velar collapsed to the floor, panting from the exertion and the pain of so many wounds. His Voidsteel had been so badly damaged that he could see it fuzzing away in places, little cracks of light leaking out from within. It would need to be contained again soon, or it would begin to feed on its wearer to repair itself.But he couldn’t bring himself to care about that, or much of anything. Velar had done everything he could for Accipio. It was time for his fellow birds to pick up a little slack.He spent an…
    • Attempt #AO2546 Cover
      by Starscribe — Sweetie Belle dragged her hooves through Carousel Boutique. It didn't matter how long it had been since she'd woken to the smell of steaming hotcakes. She could drench them with syrup, and tell her big sister about the plans for her next adventure this lazy summer day.Rarity wasn't in the kitchen, though. Her sister had more important things to do. Sweetie passed the pantry without a second glance. She didn't feel much like breakfast anyway.Sand and bits of broken glass rubbed painfully against her hooves…
    • Mordite Cover
      by Starscribe — To call the battle apocalyptic would be a terrible understatement. Unlike those initial specters she had summoned, her two armies were intelligent, powerful, and filled with rage. Her army of dead ponies, revenants instead of wraiths, were even more powerful than the Romans, though they traded a little rationality in the bargain. As Ironblood had pointed out, it was hard for such a creature to feel anything but rage. In time, Archive suspected they would feel nothing else.But they retained their minds long…
