      II. The Examination

      II. The Examination Cover
      by Monochromatic Though Ambris knew how to use a computer, and in fact had been the one to insist the Canterlot library did all its filing and paperwork digitally, she couldn’t deny she preferred to do her first drafts with pen and paper. A computer felt impersonal, devoid of the author’s personality, while calligraphy had the author literally written all over it. “Cinder blinked, her heart racing at the sight of the ruins. They were…” Ambris’ murmurings drifted off, and she glanced at the list of…

      I. The Unrequited Race

      I. The Unrequited Race Cover
      by Monochromatic Ambris Knot had a strange name. Well, not a strange name, just one that didn’t sound all that nice or interesting and certainly not one that, according to her editor, would inspire people to pick up her books. Her several archaeological non-fiction books had sold moderately well, but had never been the inspired hits she thought they deserved to be. You should try fiction, her editor had said after she’d confessed she was frustrated. All these archaeology books, they’re fine and all,…

      Chapter 1 Cover
      by Monochromatic ”So, Rarity, why did you call your shop ‘Carousel Boutique’?” “Hmm? Oh! Oh, that’s a very good question, darling!I was thirteen, I think? Or almost fourteen years old, and…” "Are you ready?" Sitting in the middle of Rarity's room, Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle looked up from the dollhouse they'd been playing with and looked towards the closed bathroom door. As far as they knew, it was the fifth time Rarity had announced her exit without actually...coming out from behind the door…

      The Carousel

      The Carousel Cover
      by Monochromatic The destination is often what many people know about, but it is often the journey that holds the memories for those involved. After an encounter with a hated rival during a festival she’d been looking forwards to all year, Rarity learns that sometimes her anger and pride blind her to what — or rather, who — is most important.

      Snapshots

      Snapshots Cover
      by Monochromatic I. The first time was a mistake—or a blessing, depending how you looked at it. Peering through her library’s window, Twilight’s horrified eyes tracked the dozens of raindrops smashing against the glass and then sliding down into the muddy ground. To say it was raining would be a generous description. A truly apt one would be to say it was pouring waterfalls. “Oh, Rarity,” said Twilight, apologetically turning to her friend of just three months. She’d invited her over to learn about her…

      by Monochromatic ~ ⚫ ~ “Do you want to find your soulmate?” “I… I guess?” “You ‘guess’?” “Well, I mean, I want to see in colors, of course. Doesn’t everypony?” “Yes, of course, but… They’re your soulmate, Twilight. They’re the pony you’re meant to be with for the rest of your life… aren’t they?” “... I don’t know, Rarity. That’s what everypony says, but… Why are you asking about this? Don’t you want to find yours?” “... I don’t know…
