5. Kill Me Twice, Darling
Everything was perfect — this was Twilight’s all-consuming thought as she and Rarity exited the theatre room. For the first time in forever, Ponyville’s princess felt utterly and blissfully happy. Everything was going along so great, in fact, that she almost felt worried about how everything was going too perfectly. There had to be a catch. There always was. Of course, she was far too busy enjoying herself to dwell on what this ‘catch’ could be. When they entered the…- 46.6 K • Oneshot

6. My Last Chapter
The sun had only just risen upon Ponyville when Rarity woke up to get herself ready for the last morning of her life. One would think that on that day of all days she wouldn’t bother with her usual routine, but she went through with it for the sake of a certain somepony else still snoring away in bed. Settling down in front of her bathroom mirror, the elderly pony began her morning ritual: combing her gray mane, putting on eyeliner and eyeshadow, curling her eyelashes and powdering her nose. Perhaps a…- 46.6 K • Oneshot

The Last Train Home
Life is like a train ride, don’t you think, dearest? The tracks have been set, destination picked and the ticket is well in hoof. What a shame that so many, myself included, are so focused on the destination that they fail to realize a universal truth. Destinations will change, trains will be caught and missed, but there will always be somepony willing to journey with you—so long as you let them.- 5.3 K • Dec 8, '21

“Rarity?” “My darling?” “Remember our trips to Canterlot? Right after our first Grand Galloping Gala, for that job with Princess Celestia?” “Of course. How can I not? I remember it as though it were yesterday.” “Hm. You know, you’ve never told me your side of it.” “I haven’t? Well! I don’t see why I can’t tell you now. It’s a long ride back home, after all.” I. The Princess’s Request You were an enigma, Twilight Sparkle. The very first…- 45.2 K • Oneshot

V. The Humdrum of Routine It’s interesting how quickly one falls into routine, into patterns that are both familiar and novel, tacitly established as most things are. I never expected you to buy us coffee in the mornings, yet you always did. You never expected me to buy us tea at night, yet I always did. So many things begin silently, have you noticed? Or, rather, not silently so much as…there’s a word for it…unnoticed? That’s not quite it, but I can’t think of anything else.…- 45.2 K • Oneshot

VIII. Piercing Fire I heard somewhere, sometime, that no two individuals can be together without breaking another’s heart. He was invaluable, to you and to me. Even now, even today, it is hard to consider our life together without him being a part of it. Even if he was a child, regardless of whether it was a mere crush or more, you cared so much about him—even at the cost of us. The train had been delayed, do you remember? Some unfortunate accident of the sort, a rockslide or engine…- 45.2 K • Oneshot

XI. Little Gestures I didn’t say anything at first. It didn’t feel like I needed to. Or, really, if I must be honest with you, if only because you are now mine, I didn’t want to tell you. Partly because I still was unsure of the entire thing, still didn’t quite know how to act, but also because there was a...a… There was a secret little thrill to be had at having the upper hoof and using it to my full advantage. It’s true, there is something exciting about being on…- 45.2 K • Oneshot

XIV. Words Spoken in Anger Sharp Silk hated the dresses. He hated them, and in retrospect, I can't blame him. No, Twilight, I cannot blame him. Regardless of how much heart we put into them, they were hardly a display of my abilities. They were simple and elegant, yes, but considering the fact that the submission deadline had been announced nearly three weeks prior… well… it's natural he expected something more elaborate. I was shamed when he critiqued them, but I was also not terribly…- 45.2 K • Oneshot
