Tales from the Civil Service

From the driest of wits comes a collection of stories that invite you to find the hero, not in the  alicorn princess or the Element wielder, but in the hard-working bureaucrat, forever toiling behind the scenes, often sans tea, to make Equestria the magical land it is. Expertly accomplished, endearingly charming, and endlessly clever, GhostOfHeraclitus effortlessly[1] brings a rich world to life you won’t soon forget:

• “Whom the Princesses Would Destroy…”—Behind the scenes of a perfectly normal visit to Canterlot lies chaos. Also, custard.
• “A Canterlot Carol”—Dotted Line discovers the true meaning of Hearth’s Warming, mostly by accident.
• “On Forensic Accounting & Choral Singing”—Leafy Salad explores the implications of close harmony singingon white-collar crime. Or, at least, that’s how it’s getting put down in the report…
• “Love and Other Acquired Tastes”—A little homeless filly is out in the rain, all alone. This is sadder than you think. Also happier.

And eight more: “An Afternoon for Dotted Line,” “The Game the Princesses Play,” “The Nature of War,” “Dr. Spinning Top—Specimen Annotated Daily Schedule,” “Any Other Business?,” “Songs Like Snow,” “Civics,” and “The Other Princess.”

With a foreword by MrNumbers.
