This story is a sequel to Meeting Mister and Missus Sparkle

The Grand Galloping Gala: the premier social event in Equestria. Well known as the most glamorous event of the year by ponies who have never gone, and known by those who HAVE gone as being awful, and in recent years, downright dangerous. Sunset Shimmer has returned for The Gala for the first time since she ran away to the human world, and she has brought a date: her girlfriend, SciTwi.

With the reputation The Gala has gotten in recent years, one pony is insistent on having at least ONE year where no guests are sent to the hospital, no new construction is needed on the castle, and no one is almost sent to another dimension.

This can...only end well, right? Right?

No...no it can't.

This story is a sequel to Sugar Pie Recipes

Sugarcoat has a problem. She's dating Pinkie Pie...that's not the problem.

The problem is Pinkie Pie's sisters. Sugarcoat wants them to like her, but things have been...awkward, so far. But seeing as she is going to be spending Hearth's Warming Day with them, Sugarcoat decides to take this opportunity to win them over...or, at least, try. How hard could it be? It's not like they're all completely different, difficult to read, and quirky in their own ways, right?

...horse-apples....

This story is a sequel to Operation: ‘Stalk Twilight and Sunset’s First Date’

Twilight has been studying magic for a long time now, but only in the human world. For their second date, Sunset Shimmer is going to give her a chance to see real Equestrian magic, in person, in Equestria. Can the human Twilight handle transforming into a pony, meeting herself face-to-face, and everything else Equestria has to offer?

On a cold snowy evening, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle snuggle under the covers to stay warm...

...and giddy.

...big mares get things like counterpoint, discordant notes, anti-parallel movement, and accidentals everywhere.
They also have to play harder music, but that's not what this story is about. This story is about an introverted DJ with an extreme alter-ego who is looking to catch the eye of a famous cellist, a lyrist trying to win over a candy maker at the mall, and something about how love is never easy or straight-forward.

Partially inspired by this story.

Vinyl Scratch, also known as DJ-P0n3, is one of the most famous DJs in Canterlot. But lately, she's been feeling like something's missing in her life. And then a gray Earth pony mare shows up at her club one night...

Author's Note: I wanted to do something different with the Octavia/Vinyl Scratch pairing. In all the stories I've read, Tavi was the reserved, more quiet one while Vinyl was the party girl. But what if it were the other way around? What if Vinyl was the more reserved one and Tavi the wild girl? This is my attempt to expand on that idea.

While strolling around town, Twilight Sparkle accidentally knocks out Derpy's contact lenses, revealing perfectly normal eyes hidden underneath.

So what else could Derpy be faking?

Spike the dog approaches Sunset Shimmer with an important question. A question she simply must find the answer to for the sake of Equestria's future.

Part of the MAD verse.

Wonderfully serene picture by fizzy-dog!

Chrysalis takes cover in a cave after another disastrous run-in with the ponies. Inside is another unfortunate soul who just can't catch a break.

Stupid ponies.

A gift for forbloodysummer. Merry Christmas!

Twilight Sparkle always thought that friendship (and by association, magic) was the strongest force in the universe. But what happens when she finds something even stronger?
