    Threadmarks: Hey... Don't do that.

    The hall dims. Murmurs fade under the hush of stage-lamps blossoming to life. A Brown, short haired unicorn in a sharp charcoal robe strides onto the dais, chin high, voice already filling the rafters. "Colleagues. Students. Patrons of the future. I am Dr. Octneighvius" He projects, each word...

    Threadmarks: Exp Lore Ing

    The smell hits me first. Eggs. And something… vaguely hay-like. I crack an eye open, groaning at the way morning light spears through the gaps in the curtains. My side still aches—phantom pain where a leg used to be, even though the new one is technically perfect. Beside me, Rachel shifts...

    Threadmarks: Softy

    We sit for a while. Twilight's ear flicks against my cheek, and I realize how close she's gotten—her side pressed warmly into mine, her mane brushing against my shoulder. I don't move away. She notices. She immediately leans further into me. She's gentle, careful, pretending to be...

    Threadmarks: Epilogue Part 2

    A pit is hollowing out inside me, raw and gaping. I've lost everything before, but this is more. She can't be gone. She can't. A wisp of smoke curls from her chest. I freeze. More tendrils of shadow rise, curling into the air, slipping from her body like mist in the morning sun. My throat...

    Threadmarks: Epilogue

    I barely get a word out before Twilight slams into me. She barrels into my chest at full speed, knocking the breath out of me as she grips my shoulders in her magic, shaking me slightly. "Are you okay?!" Her voice is frantic, her eyes wild as they dart across my body, scanning for injuries. I...

    Threadmarks: The Rise and Fall of the Crystal Empire

    The world stops. A silence, thick and unnatural, swallows the Crystal Empire. Every pony. Every breath. Every sound. Frozen. The air feels wrong. Stagnant. Suffocating. Then, slowly, the Crystal Heart begins to turn black. A sickening, oily corruption spreads from where Sombra grips it...

    Threadmarks: The Chapter

    As we settle into our seats on the train, the rhythmic clatter of the tracks beneath us set the pace for the journey ahead. It takes about thirty seconds for Rainbow Dash to realize something. "Wait a minute." She squints at Rachel. "Since when can she talk?" Twilight suddenly tenses, eyes...

    Threadmarks: The Chapter Before The Chapter

    I wake up to the sound of knocking. Not a polite knock. Not a normal knock. That could never happen in my house. A frantic, desperate pounding that immediately makes me groan into my pillow. I don't even have to look to know who it is. Rachel stirs beside me—not because she sleeps, but...

    Threadmarks: Schooled

    I don't make it more than three steps inside before Twilight clears her throat pointedly. I already regret letting them in. "Sooo~," she says, tone too casual to be genuine. "What are you going to do today?" I sigh and drop my saddlebags by the door, rubbing my temple. "Twilight." She tilts...

    Threadmarks: Ashamed

    I stand there, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. The anger, the exhaustion, the way my body is screaming for rest but my brain won't shut up long enough to let it happen. I let out a slow breath. Fine. Whatever. I turn without a word and flop onto the couch, the impact...

    I stare out the window, watching the savanna roll by. My ears twitch at the steady clack-clack of the train against the tracks, but my mind is elsewhere. They're going to freak. It's not my fault. I didn't choose to get launched into the Badlands, didn't choose to crawl through Tartarus...

    Threadmarks: A Break?

    The sun dips below the horizon, staining the desert in shades of deep amber and violet. The heat that had been relentless all day finally starts to fade, leaving behind a cooling breeze that ruffles my mane. We glide for a while longer before I finally guide the cart down, settling us onto a...

    Threadmarks: Free To Live, Free To Die

    The village appears out of place—a cluster of buildings and tents nestled among the barren wasteland, as if it shouldn't exist here at all. The architecture is crude but sturdy, built from salvaged stone and hardened clay, blending with the Badlands' color palette of dull browns and faded...

    Threadmarks: Hell (Gore)

    Eventually, the sobs slow. My body still aches, my breath still shudders, but the sheer overwhelming relief has settled into something else. Something solid. Something determined. I sniff, rubbing the tears and snot off my face with a half-hearted flick of my magic. Rachel's stone chest is...
