Black Sepia - chapter 3

"Honestly, angel, I'd say you rather have gluttony under your belt by now." Crowley smiled as he sat beside Aziraphale at yet another interesting little restaurant, where the two were having dinner. "I thought I'd start out easy, since it's only a...

Black Sepia - chapter 2

The phone was ringing. Aziraphale blearily lifted his head and looked at the old-fashioned phone on his desk, then let it drop again. It would be Crowley, and he had no idea how to talk to Crowley right now. He was much too drunk to talk to Crowley...

Black Sepia - chapter 1

"Here, try some of this, angel" Crowley passed the tiny little sake cup over to Aziraphale, and their fingers brushed as the angel took it. Aziraphale didn't even flinch, though as always, burning, hellish pain seared through him at the contact. He...

"Goodnight, sweetling," said Cadance, and she bent over the crib and kissed Flurry Heart gently, just below her horn. The tiny alicorn didn't even stir, she had given herself over to slumber at last. Cadance straightened and added, under her breath,...

Coffe and Free-Fall

Emily Aurelius let out a long breath as she set foot on Dromia VI for the first time. She was a golden jackal of fairly average height, with a slender build, dark hazel eyes, golden-brown fur ticked with darker brown along her back and brushy tail,...

Through A Glass Darkly - 7 (final)

Through A Glass Darkly - 6

In her first moments of ascension, all Luna knew was blood. The sight, staining the altar and Whiffletree's gray coat. The scent, thick in the air. The taste, heady on her tongue. Blood was her world as the moon rose triumphant at her back. She rose...

Through A Glass Darkly - 5

Whiffletree felt well rested when she rose. It was illogical, of course. They'd escaped a horrible danger, and rested amid the unknown and perhaps the unknowable, and yet she'd slept deeply and soundly. She stretched, as did Luna beside her, and...

Through A Glass Darkly - 3

There was nothing like morning when the two mares woke and began their journey once more. The sky was as dark as ever, the stars as bright and as strange as ever, and the road as black as ever, but it began to climb more often than it sank, and the...

Through A Glass Darkly - 2

The pair, gray earth pony and blue unicorn, slept beside the dying embers of the fire. They slept for an unmarked time, then woke with the stars still gleaming above. The faintest wisp of smoke still came from the fire's ashes, and without a word Luna...

Through A Glass Darkly - 1

An old gray mare walked down a road. The road was made of well-laid cobblestones, as if it led to a busy market square, though the mare could see no buildings. Instead dirt walls rose at either hoof, stretching above her head; the road was one of...
