      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…

      2. Dramatics and Confessions

      2. Dramatics and Confessions Cover
      by Monochromatic It was an unbreakable, unbendable and unavoidable law of the universe that, when Rarity called, Twilight Sparkle would always answer. And nothing could have prepared her for the wave of emotions that drowned her at seeing the unicorn again. She could only stare at her, completely at a loss for words. Rarity, a few feet away, looked at Twilight with her head tilted to the side. She looked nothing like how Twilight remembered her. She remembered an elderly pony with a grey mane tied in a bun, a…

      XV – XVII Cover
      by Monochromatic XV. The Deafening Silence We did not talk that week. Or, well, we did, I suppose, if you count monosyllabic greetings and thank yous for the coffee and teas as ‘talking’. You remember what I said earlier? How I missed you so horridly those few days we were embroiled in the entire Spike affair and we barely spoke? Well, this, darling, this was much worse. I did not know what to say, what to do, or how to make amends for the damage I’d done. There is nothing for me in…

      The Musings of… Cover
      by Monochromatic Sitting by a hallway window in Canterlot Castle, Starswirl the Bearded watched life pass him by. Hearth’s Warming Eve was very different now than it was back then, before his thousand year long self-exile. A small celebration meant to honor the recent unification of pony races was now a kingdom-wide event where the holiday’s history did not matter quite as much as how many presents one received. “Quickly now! It’s already night-time! The feast won’t be ready!” cried a cook, rushing past…

      3. Fortuna Favet Rarity

      3. Fortuna Favet Rarity Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity was never one to arrive early to catch a train. No, she was the type of pony to spend hours packing, finishing barely in time to leave Carousel Boutique and arrive to the station fifteen minutes before departure time. That Friday, though, was a special occasion. For the first time in a very long time, Rarity hadn’t taken with her every single thing that came to mind, instead packing only the bare necessities. She had been too distracted by her thoughts to even bother with her usual…

      The Sphinx’s Riddle

      The Sphinx’s Riddle Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity had always known she would have an arranged marriage — such was the life of a princess, after all. She just hadn’t expected her wife to be a sphinx or that she would actively avoid her, and not just because she loves books.
