Sometimes, a kiss will make or break a world, say more than a thousand words could. Sometimes, a letter will do the same job, if only honest.

What is there even to say about this…
This is a collection of unrelated and probably incredibly soggy letters of emotion. If you want to see your favorite pairing, go ahead and let me know what it is. I will add to this whenever I feel like it.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Glad to see you still care about me. I was getting worried when you took long to repond to my last letter.

I am surprised how much we have in common. Do not take this as offence, but I did not think you would be interested in math, much less solve the problem I described before I could. Then again, I never said I was good at math.

From how you describe yourself, you do sound like amazing pony, Twilight. Maybe this is early after just three months of writing, but I think we should meet in person. I feel like we deserve better friendship than just letters. It does not have to be soon if you don't feel like it, but I would love to see you. I do not think I could stand without ever seeing the beauty I am sure you are.

Please write back. I really need to know how you think about taking this further.

Regards,

Zel Shader

Clearly magic, Canterlot. (Wait, Canterlot?)

Dear Sparkle,

I know this sounds weird, especially after we've only met two months ago, but I feel like it might be time to take things a bit further between the two of us.

I was told true mares like poetry, so I let your perfection inspire me to a little something.

Poetry is for pussies

Wanna go out?

Is it working?

This might sound like a joke, but I am one-hundred percent serious right now. I'll offer you my love, if you wish to take it.

If not, no hard feelings, I always thought IV was more of an alibi for Passion than anything else.

I'm kidding. Let's do something, please?

See ya in class, regardless of what you choose.

Dear Daylight,

Hey there, how are you doing. Maybe you're wondering why I'm writing this instead of asking you personally or, for that matter, why I didn't talk to you in the last few weeks. That is, I did, but you probably didn't notice me as myself. You see, I am a coward. Blame me, confrontation is not behaviour a Shapie really has in herself. To make it all easier on myself, I chose to do it like this.

Look at me, gaily dancing about the issue again. So I'll get to the point. I could spend pages upon pages faffing about how wonderful your night mane sparkles in the light and similiar stuff, but I won't. Not that you wouldn't absolutely deserve it, of course. In fact, the entire hive mind can't remember a pony with whom I'd rather be than with you. Yes, I have started to develop feelings towards you which make me think that our friendship is no longer enough.

Yes, I love you, Daylight, and I hope you can return my feelings. Don't concern yourself with imaginary borders, for so long as we are together we can find solutions for everything.

(Xathrid here. Mirage asked for help and you know how it runs, the hive mind never lets any part of it down. She let me control her to get those words out of her. Heh, silly filly. Anyhow, let me tell you, her feelings are genuine and she's about the best you could ask for. She needs you, and you know you want her too. I'll release her about now.)

Please, let me know what you think, no matter what, no matter when, no matter how. Write back, come over, maybe even just talk to somepony within the hive mind. (Coming to think of it, why didn't I have somepony who is in tune discreetly ask you how you feel about it?)

Anyhow. Looking forward to your response.

Dear Sparky,

I hope you don't mind me calling you that, I mean, you never did before. Rarity said this is the classiest way for what I wanna tell you, so I'm doing it. You know, we've been friends for a bit of time now, and I thought and not just that, but we've already done more stuff together than other ponies do in a lifetime, us and the others. How often did we – and especially you – save Equestria already? Three times? Four? I honestly lost track a while ago.

The point is, we've had a lot of fun together and I've been thinking that us two in particular should get together some more. I always thought you looked the best. Your ruler-straight wonderful mane, your silken coat, your crystal eyes, all of it amazed me since I saw you the first time. In the last few weeks, I noticed everything coming in a thousand times more intense.

So, how about we ditch the others and spend a bit of time between just the two of us? Hell, stop talking around the matter. I want to be close to you. I love you, Twilight. If you'd take me, I'd be forever yours.

Dearest Miss Cheerilee,

You may not remember me, but I do remember you. Even though our first – and so far only – meeting was brief, you've left an impression on me that refuses to go away. Never have I heard a voice as sweet as yours, and the way that you use it will not leave my head.

When I asked my sister about you, she confirmed my suspicions of what an amazing pony you are and suggested that I try and get to know you better. Please, Miss Cheerilee, let us not remain strangers to each other any longer. I long for your company – what we'll do is yours to decide. I can only offer you whatever you wish for, it is you who must take it.

Our tour will soon spend time near Ponyville. Let me know if you have interest. Mail adressed to my name should reach me regardless of where I currently am.

Hopeful regards,

Soarin' Markov
