The Winter Solstice
Chapter 3: Sunday Best
The Carnival of Lights is the first public event hosted by the Ashen Fields that did not include some sort of royal inauguration or restoration effort. In fact, it was a chance to encourage tourism for the kingdom and many of the attractions were specifically designed to help demonstrate how unique flame pony culture c...
The Winter Solstice
Chapter 4: Carnival of Lights (Part 1)
"So tell me again, why are we spying on them?" The reformed con artist known as Bleak Weather moped behind a barrel of cider, he was a pegasi ice pony and was on a date with his special somepony. "To ensure that Lady Sapphire and Lord Smolder are not mobbed or attacked by paparazzi ponies." The appointed bodyguard o...
The Winter Solstice
Chapter 5: Carnival of Lights (Part 2)
Wick and Pyre stood near the spinning cups carnival ride watching ponies twirl round and round. Finding great amusement in the ones that got dizzy and had fits of laughter at the ones unable to keep their lunch down. The two brothers seemed perfectly content standing off to the side of the ride, ignoring the looks from...
The Winter Solstice
Chapter 6: Lights Out
Sapphire and I walked hoof in hoof for a time. Traveling down the length of the Dark Marsh in mostly silence, I found myself smiling at the familiarity we shared between us, unable to bring any sort of meaningful conversation to my mind, but anxiously trying to find the perfect moment to give Sapphire this stone. Ever...

Chapter 7: Blight of Muspell
"During the reign of Dragons, there was a divide between flame ponies, those who sought to usurp the very creatures that brought us our power and those who sought to serve them faithfully. Lines were drawn, families split, and our ponies sought to dwell within the heart of Equestria as the Great Dragon Char had done. F...
The Winter Solstice
Chapter 8: Death Wish
The emergence of the magma ponies had taken Equestria by storm. An ancient hidden kingdom beneath the ruined volcano of the Ashen Fields with a faction of never before seen magma ponies was sure to be front page news for weeks. It doubled the interest of ponies across Equestria, bringing all sorts of diplomats and capi...
The Winter Solstice
Chapter 9: Meet the Parents
The ice pony carriage cut through the sky, led by three of the most skilled pegasi ice ponies heading north. Howling winds weren't enough to keep them talking amongst themselves of the bombshell news of their Princess having chosen a special somepony. "It was just a matter of time! I said it the minute she ran away!" ...

"But we do, we do," insisted Adagio, "In fact, why don't we go and get you some hot chocolate? Wouldn't that be nice?" "Ok, I get the point Adagio," Aria quietly huffed, as she and Adagio went off to fetch the warm drink for cold Steven, leaving only him and Sonata for the moment. Sonata meanwhile was just left in a b...

Friends and Enemies
"O-Okay, if you can move that just a tad to the left," called Rarity at one point, waving her hoof in said direction. A shadow was casted down to the ground near her hooves, moving in said direction for a bit. "How's this?!" a voice called from a distance away. "Ehh ... no, actually, a inch to the right," Rarity repl...

Rebooting System ...
Pink Diamond. Ruby. Sapphire. Pearl. Amethyst. Jasper. Lapis Lazuli. Peridot. And Spinel. That was the line up that they got going when they all returned from the fields of battle to the Beach House. All of the gemstones they've managed to keep safe were kept lined up along the table within said Beach House, Steven hi...
My Little Universe II
Overruled!
While it may seem nice for the Diamonds to now return to their old stomping grounds back on Homeworld, it still seemed a bit more empty since Pink Diamond wasn't anywhere around. The throne room was absent one more Gem to fully complete the Diamond symbol (again), Yellow and Blue Diamond sitting with the empty space in...
My Little Universe II
Don't You Believe It?
Ever since returning from the other realm, the remaining Harmony Gems had been more than hard at work when trying to set things up for the Spirit to come down. It was something they've been working on for nearly a day now, with morning arriving in the Little Homeworld settlement with some of the group either chilling o...

Tricky Game
"Okay, we're here. And everyone's asleep in there ... Bray, you got the stuff?" "Yep, you bet. ... What is it again?" "The thing hanging around your neck?" "OOHH, yeah yeah yeah I got it. Let's sprinkle this bad boy." "I guess ... But how's this supposed to work? We got an unpoofed Gem here, and apparently THIS is ...

Whoever Dares Wins
*beep**beep**beep**be -* *click* "No up yet," mumbled Spinel, her arm stretching all the way up to Steven's alarm clock, her sleeping down on Steven's couch on the main floor and cuddling a sleepy time buddy (in her case, a cute green smiley mushroom). It was too peaceful to get up now: Steven asleep in his bed with N...

Snowfall Stars PT1
A lone bus going through the countryside. With the winter snow along the ground every which way, the entire world alongside the traveling locomotive was a blanket of glistening white, some trees looking like cauliflower they held so much snow up, and farmland and open grass a landscape of cold, quiet snow dunes. Passen...

Snowfall Stars PT2
"Woooooo, THAT'S a doozy! ... Wonder what the big doozy is today? ....... Oh well" Outside of Canterlot, despite the holiday and winter's joy, time didn't stop for Tempest and Nichrome's patrols to start closing the gap between themselves and Canterlot itself. The broken Unicorn and metallic alien continued through th...

Rose Bud
Steven Universe had been keeping himself busy for the last five days. Walking down the beach, one keeping one box balanced while the other was marching along with another box in hand, Steven and Twilight headed right from the Gem Temple, heading off towards town, each box itself filled with a number of items for tonigh...
My Little Universe II
Late Bloomer
A Gemstone. Red-orange and somewhat rectangular, with facets around the edge. On common ground, this kind of gemstone wouldn't technically be that special, but today this gemstone in particular marked something especially wonderful for everyone involved, as this gemstone inside it's bubble was placed down in the center...
My Little Universe II
Tongue-Tied
"Uhhh ... Cherry Gem ..." Spinel nibbled on another small, cold-looking Cherry as she just sat there, far away from everyone else. With Steven gone off to The Reef, and other Gems doing other things, Spinel couldn't really think of anyone to actually go off and see. Not that she would want to though, after seeing just...
My Little Universe II
With my Tanks
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDN'T WORK?!" Grogar roared. The Ram's roars and bellows rattled even the bravest of followers just moments after Bray and Budgerite had returned to him at base. Of course the two would give them news about Garnet returning AND the Yaks becoming potential allies to Equestria, and of course Grogar...

The Reef
"But I'm telling you, I saw them! I swear I did, really REALLY I did!" "Will you stop saying that, there's NO "cool rock things" there, you probably just saw some coral again." "But I didn't! ... A-Again. ... I promise you, it's not coral shaped like a thing this time, they're living rocks shaped like living things."...

Battering Ram
"Jasper! JASPER! Where are ya?" Fulgurite and Emerald's search for their Orange Quartz was surprisingly not going so well, at least not as well as people would think. As everyone else was at least making progress, these two couldn't even start as they couldn't even find where Jasper had gone to. Their wandering brough...

Child's Play
Harmony Gems. By the time you're reading the enclosed passage and possibly questioning life as you claim it, I'd already return to my realm and discussing matters with the deities. I've been well aware that you've been setting up your "attempts" to persuade me not only of the world's adaptation to magic, but more over...
My Little Universe II
There Goes a Thought
It's amazing just how much work can be done in a single day, as the Harmony Gems were all starting to get themselves back together from their respected missions from the day prior. Little Homeworld sure had been busy too, in part thanks to some more projects being worked on within the settlement. In this case, after so...

Gathering Thoughts
Today ... could've gone better. For both Discord and White Diamond, they weren't expecting to end up as semi-guards and semi-roommates for this Grogar fella in their barn. With the magic barrier up to keep Grogar inside his prison cell, it was a bit too dangerous anyway for either Diamond or Draconequus to just ventur...

Just One Day
お嬢様、トワイライトさま、大変申し訳ございませんが、今は旅行の時間ではありません。 はい、私たちはあなたの病気を知っていて、それを治療しますが、冬の吹雪は今のところ危険すぎます。 条件が再び旅行するのが正しいとすぐに、我々はあなたに知らせます。 署名:アキラ卿。 "Why didn't I think about the local weather before asking?" thought a grumbling Twilight as she looked over and translated the Neipponese message. Bad enough she couldn't talk to anyone ...

Peaks of Peril
"HIYAA! HWAAH! aaaand WAAHH!" Ruby was going complete fight mode. With Bismuth's practice dummies all set up, Ruby showed the best punches and kicks on each and every single one of them, full of energy and honestly straight out of some kung fu movie (action shots galore). The dummies themselves weren't damaged but wer...

Bull-Headed
"You have NO IDEA how hard it was, I couldn't even get my horn to pick up my toothbrush without turning it into a mustard bottle, and then a porcupine. By the way, I learned the hard way that porcupine quills actually DON'T just pull out of your face, you kind of have shimmy it first before they can pop out. But anyway...

Here Comes a Thought
Prancing through the fields of melting snow, Blue was taking time to better enjoy himself out in the clear skies. With the Harmony Gems and Elements of Harmony running around doing a lot of their own thing during the Rejuvenation Process, this left many of the pets with their own thing to do. In this case, Blue was out...

Once Upon An End
It'd been a while since the Barn had so much activity going on by it, but now in the warmth of the barnhouse there was more than enough of a party going on inside. Since the whole team was back together at last, there was no better time than a get-together party thrown by party pony and party gem themselves. ALL member...
My Little Universe II
I Have Spoken!
The days had come and gone. Oddly quiet for the longest time for the people around Beach City or around Ponyville come to think of it. The Harmony Gems were close to coming back, but one would expect Grogar's Army to take advantage and come in. But the Ram himself had a bit more on his mind than just mindless violence....

True Kind of Love PT1
"That was exhilarating ... now who should I kill first?" ....... "GAH!" Starswirl was horrified. Jolted awake by what he had witnessed, it was just strong enough to snap him out of an otherwise impossible-to-break meditation. He was short of breath, heavy too, and looked around the room he had been meditating in. It...

True Kind of Love PT2
"... STEVEN! STEEEVEEN! ... Anyone there?! ..." ....... "GUYS! WHERE'RE YOU?!" *ROOOAAARRR* Such silence in such a desolate place like the Supreme Kindergarten could only last for so long. Unable to stand being gone from her friends for any longer, the only free remaining Harmony Gem Spinel finally bulked up the co...
My Little Universe II
True Kind of Love PT3
There they were. The Diamond Authority, the royalty of Equestria AND the Harmony Gems all looking to what kind of apocalypse Grogar released onto the entire world. The people inside the city in absolute panic over what just happened to the city itself, and vines and vegetation growing all over the place, attacking anyo...
