      maybe death is like falling asleep [timeline: time between TEL and TEK]

      maybe death is like falling asleep [timeline: time between TEL and TEK] Cover
      by Monochromatic Death was not like Twilight had expected it.  I suppose that’s because she couldn’t expect much at all, wandering her library, eyes blacker than a starless, moonless night.  This was, after all, what my beloved wanted. This was, after all, what was right, what she deserved. Peace, her endless thoughts so distant and quiet, everything mattering so, so very little.  High above, past bookcases gathering dust, hung a chandelier, illuminating the room. She stared up at it, and then…

      you or nothing at all [end of TEL re-imagined from Rarity’s POV]

      you or nothing at all [end of TEL re-imagined from Rarity’s POV] Cover
      by Monochromatic To say that I’d moved on wasn’t correct.  To say that I’d let her go wasn’t right, either.  The truth of the matter is that I had learned to live around her absence. I suppose it’s like losing a limb. You will never have it back, you will always know it’s gone, things will always be different, but with time and patience, things will become normal again.  Not the same. Never the same. But normal. All right. Okay.  My heart had learned to navigate blood around…

      see you in your dreams

      see you in your dreams Cover
      by Monochromatic Nightmares came for Princess Twilight Sparkle long after Discord had been defeated, waking her with a start and a gasp for air, having dreamt she was once more displaced in time.  Breathe, she thought after one such nightmare, her face in her hooves evidence that her dream had been just that—a dream.  She wasn’t displaced anymore. She was not trapped in a library. Discord had been defeated for over ten years now, and the peace reigning over Equestria was real. Everything was…

      i did it for us

      i did it for us Cover
      by Monochromatic It was a bright sunny day when the funeral was canceled.  From across the kingdom, as soon as they’d gotten the news, scholars had come to bid farewell to one of the grand library’s two custodians. A snaggle-toothed middle-aged earth pony mare with an uncanny knack for knowing exactly what book you’d like, Turnover had lovingly taken care of Canterlot Castle’s library alongside her husband, Oakewood, a unicorn stallion known for failing to uphold the no-chatter-and-shenanigans rule he…

      you’ve been making group decisions about us without us

      you’ve been making group decisions about us without us Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Twilight had read Fritter Cobbler’s letter about thirty times or more.  Sitting atop opposite bookcases, every single time I looked up from the book I was barely reading, I’d find her still staring at the worn letter, her expression indecipherable.  I put my book down and folded my hands on my lap, as I did whenever I wanted to pry into her heart.  “Princess?”  She didn’t look up at first. “You don’t have to call me that anymore,…

      and i had a feeling that i belonged

      and i had a feeling that i belonged Cover
      by Monochromatic The first months, I truly think she had no idea what to make of me, let alone what to do about me. Honestly, I don’t think she even knew what to do with herself, whether she should stay close when I visited or leave me to my own devices, saving herself the anxiety of remembering how to have a conversation like a normal person.  I’ve been here six hours, I wrote in my journal, delighted to be using the princess’ old-fashioned but elegant quills, and I’ve only spoken with the princess about…
