Sometimes a shortfic stands on its own, a longfic ends sooner than I expected, or I have something to showcase from a group collab. This anthology covers such things from my “early years” of 2015-2020. While a couple of these are unfinished, they've all received some level of feedback or polish. Quick descriptions, most recent first:
- Victory’s Lament - History is written by the victors, but the loss of one’s conscience makes the privilege bittersweet.
- Starlight fixes “Spice Up Your Life” with... Sniping! - Whoever said violence never solved anything clearly wasn’t creative with it. As we’ve established, however: Starlight is very creative. The restaurant business will never be the same.
- The Other-Other Mare - Spike’s youthful infatuation with Rarity often leaves her walking a fine line, as he truly is dear to her, if not always in the way he wishes. But Spike is growing up in all sorts of ways, and goodness knows Twilight doesn’t know how to talk to him about some things.
- Starlight fixes “The Gift of the Maud Pie” with... Attention to Detail! - Manehattan’s missing pouch shop proprietor was far from an innocent stallion. But so is Starlight, if you think about it. Sometimes it takes a villain to catch a villain...
- Rumbling Thunder - When brotherly love meets brotherly revenge, the only safe place is upwind.
- Starlight fixes “Applejack's ‘Day’ Off” with… Sabotage! (And Six Sigma! (And Bacon!)) - Barnyard bungee jumping takes a tasty, but temporally tenuous, turn.
- You Gotta Know When To Hold ’Em - The Pies are proud, upright adherents to an old-world tradition about how to live one’s life. Ironically, the forebear of their line was not.
- An Invasion is Born - Pony Joe has an exciting gift for his new special somepony. More than anything, he hopes she'll stop by and collect it.
- Lightening her Load - Applejack knows a thing or two about making a deposit on the side of the road. Good thing too, because it's going to be Rarity's first time.
- Starlight fixes “The Mane Attraction” with... HEAVY METAL! - Trixie's appreciation for everyday household goods takes an unexpected turn.
- Starlight fixes “Power Ponies” with… SWAT-ting! - Kids these days, with their modern ways of breaking up somepony else's good time...
- Starlight fixes “Rarity Takes Manehattan” with… Violence! - I mean, why spend ~22 minutes of airtime cleaning up after a jerk like Suri Polomare when you could just do this instead?
- Starlight fixes “Spike At Your Service” with… Admonishment! - Sometimes even a soon-to-be Princess of Friendship needs a (verbal) smack upside the head.
- Like Nopony Else - Maud Pie’s deep uniqueness can be both a blessing and a curse.
- Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken - Limestone Pie will never give up, no matter the odds.
- The Eye That Floats, Silent and Unblinking, in Petunia Paleo's Sandbox - The Doctor rushes to somepony's aid... but whose?
- Hell Awaits (original version) - An initial draft of what would become the actual prologue to To Serve In Hell, my long-running thriller set in the Season 5 finale's Nightmare-verse.
- Tequila Sunrise - Aliens place a trio of creatures in a setting that plays to each of their weaknesses.
- Snakes on a Train - Daring Do says the line. You know the one!
- Inescapable - Babs Seed has a really bad day.
- The Inevitable Clopfic - An author's editor offers advice. (Not actually clop.)
- The Seduction of Princess Cadance - A wisepony receives an offer he dares not refuse. (Also not clop.)
