Mane Melody survived its first few weeks and a visit from Phyllis Cloverleaf, letting Jazz Hooves finally find her place at the newly opened salon. When she is left in charge on a slow day, a strange customer stumbles through her door. As she gets to know the timid mare, Jazz discovers that showing just a little kindness in something as mundane as hoof care can make all the difference in the life of another.

Last Rainbow Dash heard, Sunset was on a date with some dude she'd never heard of, so she decided to follow up on it over Discord and see how it went.

This is my submission for the Dialogue Only contest (May 15 - June 15, 2024)

How hard is it for a human to survive in Equestria? This question is about to be answered as a human finds himself mystreously transported into the land of colorful ponies, but that just half of the problem. He also seems to have gained powerful magic or the ability to use magic, which makes him extremely powerful. The story about average joe becoming the most powerful sorcerer and hero of Equestria.

While visiting Rarity in Ponyville, Capper meets her pet cat Opal and instantly falls in love. But there's a difference between flirting with someone and actually going on a date with them...especially when the someone in question is, well, Opal.

Capper may charm the ladies, but when it comes to actually having a romantic dinner with one of them, he might be in over his head.

"Because I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and there’s not a single creature with wings I can think of who is exclusively attracted to the opposite sex.”

Now with a reading!

And another!

Equestria has been destroyed. Now it is nothing but a wasteland where nopony is safe. With no options left, Twilight and friends venture to the dragon lands in hopes of eking out a home there.

Tempers flare and personalities clash, but Twilight is determined to keep herself and her friends safe in the land where the dragons roam.

An errand in the Everfree takes a turn for the worse when Fluttershy is attacked by a rampaging hydra. Things only get weirder when she is saved from the beast by a mysterious giant, one she quickly learns has no memory of who he is or where he came from. As Fluttershy and the rest of the elements work to help this mysterious being they discover there is more to their world than they could have imagined as well as something far more ancient than Equestria or the Elements of Harmony.

Just a couple things to get clear:
- This is an alternate universe so there will be quite a few things different from canon, but the characters should overall be like their canon selves
- So there is no confusion on age, the Mane 6 are in their mid-late 20s and the CMC/Spike are in their late teens/early 20s. All other characters are aged up appropriately to match those standards.

This story is still my first attempt at serious writing (even after making a butt load of changes) so any and all constructive criticism is welcome

"What happens when you change so much that you don't recognize yourself? What happens when you push everypony away to fit in, even going so far as to shatter your own heart in the process? What do you do to fix everything while you still can?"

Over the years Spike and the rest of the Elements of Harmony have seen a dramatic change with Rarity, even going so far as to degrade the quality, the uniqueness of her dresses. Only after confronted by Twilight and breaking Spike's heart does she finally see what has become of herself. Determined to fix it though, she sets out across the land of Equestria to try and rediscover who she is.

This story is a sequel to Cold

Time flows differently, in the multitude of plains that make up the universe. Seconds here can be hours there... and hours here can be decades over there. There is, however, one universal constant among all time and space: Time never stops. Perhaps I counted on time as my ally when I cast that spell and dove into the past... if only I'd know just how cruel and unwavering it can really be.

Thirty years, I've tried... in most other worlds, it's probably been hundreds, but I've managed to keep track. Thirty years of searching, trying and trying again, desperately doing everything in my power to bring you back... and all that I've learned is that unless I make this choice, it's simply not possible... I hope you'll forgive me. I know that'll be hard... but maybe given enough time, you'll understand... -Twilight Sparkle
