The Sphinx’s Riddle

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.

A Different Name [4/5]
by Monochromatic — It was only a few months back that the highlight of Princess Twilight Sparkle's days would have been stargazing. With a few cushions, a good book and a pot of tea (or a thermos of hot cocoa, depending on the season), she passed the hours looking at the stars through her trusty telescope. It was more than once that Luna or Celestia found the youngest princess sleeping there, safely wrapped in a cocoon of her own magic to mark the safest place she knew. But with the changing political situation, something…

I can only live where there is light, but I die if the light shines on me.
by Monochromatic — Most everypony knew what manner of creature Princess Twilight Sparkle was. The Sphinx king and queen of Saddle Arabia had tried for many years to keep it quiet, keep it hidden, this disgraceful tarnish in their otherwise pristine reputation, but everypony knew their daughter, Princess Twilight Sparkle, was an illegitimate child—and a half-breed, at that. The product of an affair between the king himself and an equestrian chamber maid. And now she was to be a ruler of Equestria. "I don't think…

Forever [5/5]
by Monochromatic — Twilight Sparkle was only twenty-one years old when her entire world crumbled before her. Rarity was leaving. She was leaving for good, back to her kingdom, back to her suitors, back to her life Twilight couldn't be a part of, so far away from Equestria and herself. Wasn't it curious? Wasn't it painfully amusing how things worked, how the wheels turned, how… How nearly a year she spent with a unicorn she could barely understand had felt so crystal clear, so right, so perfect… And wasn't it…

The Enchanted Library (original one-shot)

by Monochromatic — Non-canon prequel to The Enchanted Library. As a filly, Rarity’s favorite bedtime story was about three princesses trapped throughout Equestria by a wicked spirit of chaos. How she dreamed of finding them all when she was older, especially the princess trapped in a library under a tree. She knew, however, that fairy tales weren’t real. Only when she grew up would she find out how very wrong she was.

Bedtime Story
by Monochromatic — Note to those reading the multi-chapter "The Enchanted Library" : This is the original fic that inspired the proper EL multi chapter. This is NOT canon to the multi-chapter as this was written without having a continuation planned therefore had I used this as canon, there would be a lot of plotholes and difficulties and it would be a mess. Take this as a first draft, of sorts. Again, if you are reading the multi-chapter, please keep in mind this is not canon to that timeline or fic so there will…

Colors of the Soul
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…
