Maud Pie keeps her burdens under wraps. A gloomy bus ride sits her still as a statue, waiting for stop number twelve. But the foundation cracks after a familiar face prances aboard

Teen rating for light language, allusions to alcohol, a fight scene, and Maud generally being too hard on herself.

Written for the sitewide ⁠2022 May Pairings Contest⁠. It nabbed a respectable Third Place.

There is a point where we need to stop and we have clearly passed it. BUT LET'S KEEP GOING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Title pretty much says it all.

Extremely interesting description, ideally informing the reader about the content or themes of your story before they actually commit to reading it. I hope you aren't just writing down the words I'm saying.

Sonic has such intense narcissism that he believes himself a god, to the point where he runs around, telling everyone. After years of no one taking him seriously, he goes on a rampage, killing everything in his path to prove to the rulers of this land that he is serious about this.

There's only one problem with this...

He's not actually a god, and the rulers are. They also see him as a joke.

This story is a sequel to Acceptance

Time is up for the Princess of the Night. The spell has cracked, the sun is rising, and soon Celestia will appear before her in all of her radiance to take back the throne. Nightmare Moon's reign is very much over, and she has accepted this and braced herself for whatever may come out of the future battle. She fully expects a hardened, cold, unempathetic monster like herself, but a lot can happen in five years. A lot that Nightmare Moon does not expect.

Nightmare Moon knows her reign is coming to an end. The spell she banished Celestia with lasted a fraction of the time of the Elemental banishment she received from Celestia. Now almost five years later, with the spell's duration drawing to a close, Nightmare Moon seeks solace in the place she once called home, only to find herself accepting the very thing she had tried to avoid.
