Summary
“Twilight, hon, can ya look at me?” she began softly. Twilight swallowed and let out a little mumble, but her gaze stayed down. So Applejack reached carefully in; one hand cupped the new girl’s cheek, guiding those teary eyes back up with all the softness she could spare. “Ah know Principal Celestia; the only time she’d ever call ya into her office is if she was worried about ya. Even after what happened at the games, she still wanted ya here, same as us; she cares far more about how yer doin’ emotionally than anythin’ academic.”
She let out a soft laugh, trying to reassure the other girl. “If Dash makes even one ‘B’ in her A-Levels, Ah’ll be impressed, and she ain’t been kicked out yet. That ain’t how it works here, Twilight, and it ain’t how it should work anywhere.” She swallowed, knowing she was about to push a little. “Did Principal Cinch…?”
When Twilight worries about her newfound place at Canterlot High, Applejack helps to ground her, and finds out just how awful Crystal Prep was in the bargain.

Summary
“My parents are away all the time.” Part of Scootaloo still wasn’t quite sure why she was admitting this. But the chances of Sonata telling anyone she knew were already fairly minimal, she decided, and once she’d had the thought to start talking it was always a little hard to stop. “Their jobs take them all over the world; they’re in Sri Lanka right now, I think.”
“Is that really far away?” Sonata asked, and when Scootaloo nodded, she raised an eyebrow. “Then how do they get back?”
“…get back?”
One night in Canterlot's community kitchen, two lonely souls share a meal.

Summary
When that hole had eaten her alive, there had been hands to pull her out of it. A princess and a promise and a path to reconciliation. And yet nothing, for a kid half-her-age thrown the same tantrum? Not even a question of why?
Then again, that princess’ promise had been paper thin to Sunset, too. A few messages on MyStable, a couple secrets stolen, and they’d burned that in front of her and burned her out with it. So maybe, her second thoughts said, things had always been this way after all. Maybe redemption was never really on the cards.
That was why she’d decided never to come back here. And why she’d come back anyway. To save anyone else from it.

The Lass From East London by pikablob for WhirligigGirl

Summary
“I’m tryin’ me ‘ardest, sir, always; Stratford don’t settle for nothin’ less. But for some of ‘em, sir… it just seems like it’s never enough.” A bitter sigh escaped; she looked at her buffers. “So no, I en’t ‘appy. Not ‘ere.”
The man gave a tiny, firm nod. “Perfect,” he said, sharp-yet-earnestly. “I’m in need of an engine, lass, for pilot work. It won’t be as intense as London, perhaps, but we do run a brisk service.” He stepped up, impressively, and she knew her answer before he asked the question.
“So, ‘ow would you like to come and work on my railway?”
April, 1925. Since her building, LNER No. 7051 has been the runt of the motive-power pool at Stratford, and known nothing more than the line to Liverpool Street. But that all changes when an unfamiliar engine arrives from the distant North Western Railway, bringing a man in a top hat, and an offer...

Summary
In a world of magic creatures and artifacts among ordinary places, a quartet of friends stumble upon each one when they least expect it.
These are the stories of Eliott Arrowwood - a 200-year-old wanderer with knowledge of all things mystical, Nelly “Flannel” Flanagan - a kindhearted librarian with dreams of writing their own books, Ramona - Flannel's adoptive daughter who can magically shapeshift between a raven and a little girl, and Sakari Jarno - an elderly museum curator looking after both his friends and artifacts alike.
Whether in their home city of Kuluufia or in the wilderness, together they lend their hands to all sorts of creatures when they're needed the most.

Summary
But back to the insecure thing. She wasn’t usually, but finding out where she ranked in priority with her former friends was making her a little bit sensitive and cautious now.
Gregory had been to her house before—for dinner and sleepovers and to hang out (the much more grown-up version of a “play date”)—and it’d been great. Fantastic. An absolute blast. Her dad liked him and was always glad to have him over, especially knowing how he’d made Cassie’s birthday so awesome.
But Gregory never invited her to his house.

Summary
"You… you okay, little man?” She hated how her voice sounded. She wasn’t good with kids; that was Freddy’s job; but Freddy was just a decapitated head right now, his power drained, sitting in the backseat, and all the other animatronics were gone.
Still, her words seemed to do something. Gregory shifted, leaning back slightly from the window, and then turned slowly to face her instead. Her chest clenched just a little as his eyes came into view; there was saltwater there, in front of the hazel, threatening to spill out over cheeks that were starting to quiver.
Her throat felt dry. All the time in the mall, with the robots on the fritz and her at her worst, bouncing between taking her frustrations out and whatever Vanny did, she hadn’t seen him cry.
In the immediate aftermath, it's just the two of them.
