Twilight Sparkle knew she was a smart filly. She was in the School of Magic after all, Celestia’s personal student even. She had a great family and baby sitter too. So why did she have to be so stupid and end up throwing it to burn.

Now all she had was Spike, she was alone, and somewhere unfamiliar.
(Inspired by Leave it All Behind)

(Takes place after "Hard To Say Anything", proofread by Smity1038 on Deviant Art.)

Cheerilee always thought she had something special with Big Macintosh, at least ever since that love poison fiasco a few Hearts and Hooves Days ago. But when word seeps out that Big Mac has found a new romantic partner in form of a baker named Sugar Belle, Cheerilee is devastated.

Struggling to come to terms with this revelation, Cheerilee tries to convince herself that this development is for the best. But then she's suddenly surprised when Big Mac shows up after school, in order to confess something rather important to her.

But is the confession what Cheerilee thinks it is?

Now has a dramatic reading, which can be viewed here.

Flurry Heart stands before a veteran of the Great War who now lays on their bed nearing their end.

She has planned for this day ever since she received her cutie mark. Not being before the pony before her, but being before any pony at all. This pony just happens to be the first.

She is there to see them to the end.

It was a major shake-up for most ponies: the loss of magic from Equestria. But for Cozy Glow, it just meant swapping her enchanted stone prison for a normal ball-and-chain one. Besides, that was ten years ago. What does she care of the humbled world outside? Or that it just delivered her an uppity new cellmate?

Luster Dawn cares. A lot. It's why she's here.

(Takes place between The Last Problem and Gen 5. AU Tag because these events are probably gonna get invalidated by canon someday.)

Flurry Heart has requested a very unusual bedtime story. Shining Armor senses something is up, but he also knows that children occasionally come across feelings they don't have words for yet. Books can supply those words.

On a less cerebral note, hopefully there’s some entertainment to be had watching Shining Armor flounder through a novel that common sense dictates he shouldn't be reading to a foal before bed. That 'Thriller' tag is present in the banner for a reason.

Now with a written review!

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

No knowledge of the IDW Reflection comics is necessary to read this; it's just the framing device for a pair of parallel ponies feeling responsible for the actions of their counterparts.

Going on six years after the Reflections Incident that nearly tore apart both canon and inverted Equestria, the latter timeline is finally safe under Sombra's benevolent watch. No urgent correspondence has gone through the Mirror Portal since things re-stabilized, but it wouldn’t be much of a story if things remained that way.

Turns out the School of Friendship has a swim team leader board. Turns out Smolder is a pretty good swimmer. She wants to be the best though, for a reason more complicated than simple pride.

Now with a Youtube reading!

This fic is the product of another one of Nitro Indigo's text prompts. This one: Portray a pony with Naked Foal Syndrome. It ended up morphing into brief character study on Smolder, but that’s not a bad thing for a fic to be.

Sightings of a mountaintop phantom line up with a few too many worrisome legends for Sunny Starscout's comfort. Short on time and even shorter on adventuring companions, she heads out to confront it.

By herself, but not alone.

Crispin Apple and Cortland Belle have never met. Crispin is the son of a world famous designer, the beautiful, talented, Rarity Belle. Cortland, the son of Canterlot's number one apple farmer and distributer, Applejack Apple.

When the boys meet at Camp Everfree the year they turn 14, their worlds will turn upside down.

Why do they look so much alike?

What about the picture that clearly shows their mother's in the Camp's mess hall? The picture that says they were here, together, in 2016.

Celestia has one mission and one alone: finding out if Twilight Sparkle knows if Rarity is single or not.
