Twilight Sparkle has spent years adding books to the collection she watches over. Stories long and short, fiction and non-fiction, world-shattering and mundane. There are names attached to each, some as instantly recognisable as that of the Princess herself.

Other names, however, might be less familiar to the world at large - but they are no less important to Twilight. They are all her friends, and each left a piece of themselves within her care. Sometimes as an author, sometimes as a subject, many ponies from across Equestria have a part of themselves represented within Twilight's library.

These are the stories of how some of those books came about.

A collection of short stories about Twilight's meetings with some of the other ponies she has gotten to know over the years, titled with the name of the book they left behind and the pony concerned. They take place in a shared universe, but not necessarily in chronological order. The books themselves may even turn up somewhere around here eventually as standalone stories.

This will be marked complete from the get-go, because updates are going to be extremely infrequent and I'll only be posting complete shorts that should stand by themselves.
