After dating for a few months, Twilight and Flash realize they aren't a perfect match. Twilight needs to find a way to move past her first heartbreak.

•based off Something Just Like This•
For The Friggin' Lunabra Contest

When Twilight first saw her, she thought the mare was beautiful, and she couldn't help but be attracted to her. When she got to know her more, she began to realize that the mare was somepony she connected with and loved. But as date after date went by, the mare got more and more nervous, as Celestia struggled to figure out how she would break the facade to the mare she had grown to love.

On a day as ordinary as any other, the Cutie Map assigns a new friendship mission to Twilight, who soon becomes concerned about the place it tells her to go.

She will need a lot of courage and willpower when she discovers that her now assigned mission is to reform one of her oldest and most terrifying enemies: King Sombra.

And as the task is carried out, the pieces of the puzzle of the past will begin to fit together and make sense, accompanied by new nascent feelings that no one could ever have believed possible.

[...]

When King Sombra accepts the princess' offer with malicious intentions, he will be surprised with different and unexpected obstacles that will not make things as easy as he thought they would be. Especially when the different attitudes and qualities of the princess in charge of him, instead of making him hate her, begin to create a peculiar feeling of curiosity within him.

However, when a sinister and seemingly powerful evil that is somehow linked to him is unleashed upon Equestria and the Crystal Empire, giving himself the opportunity to explore his feelings will not be an easy task.

A story in which Twilight Sparkle proceeds to die.

Several times.

For science.

I really think the short description gave you what you needed to know, but if not:

This is a re-write of the S4 battle between Twilight Sparkle, and Tirek; won't be focusing on the after-battle scene, nor the major build-up. This will take place from the point of the tree's destruction. I wanted to animate this, but I need time to practice in OpenToonz.

Though, dunno if "anime-style" fits the description; didn't make them monologue for 5 chapters.

Rainbow Dash grew up not knowing who her mother is.

One Mother's Day, Twilight Sparkle becomes determined to find out who Rainbow's mother is and drag her back to Ponyville to reunite with her daughter.

There's just one little hitch:

Rainbow Dash's mother is Daring Do. And she's inconveniently off "researching" her next book.

Now, Rainbow Dash has to go on a journey. A journey of self-discovery. A journey of a thousand unanswered questions.

A journey to find...her biomom.

Oh, and there's an ancient alicorn tomb and a closely guarded secret that'll change the history of Equestria forever, but that's just another day in the life of Daring Do.

(This story ignores certain details established by the Journal of the Two Sisters and the Daring Do chapter books.)

Pinkie Pie has been helping Twilight Sparkle with her Genealogy studies, and finds something peculiar. A blank spot in the tree next to her paternal and maternal (45 times) great grandmother.

Hoping to rectify this error, she goes to see her mentor Princess Celestia. But the answer is closer than she thinks.

First fic I've written ever, so the quality can only go up. I hope.
