It is Twilight Sparkle's first night as a princess of Equestria, and she cannot sleep. As the excitement she felt during coronation fades away, it gives way to a deeper anxiety. The young alicorn lies awake, her thoughts dwelling on her new destiny, her responsibilities, her fears, and her own mortality.

Or, as the case may be, her lack of it.

As morning draws nearer, Twilight leaves her bed haunted by a question, and so she decides to seek out the one pony who can answer it.

Now has a dramatic reading on Youtube! Major props to Goombasa.

Bolo Combat Unit GNY has been defeated in its primary task and now plummets to a certain destruction. What thoughts go through the metallic mind of a Combat Unit of the Dinochrome Brigade in its last few minutes, a weapon of war now resigned to its ultimate fate?

Done as a challenge from a friend, to write something that covers a subject not directly covered before in FIMfiction. Created during National Pony Writing Week in August 2012, not posted until now because I’m lazy. For more stories in Keith Laumer’s Bolo series, check out the Baen Books Library or the exceptional author William H. Keith (He writes much better than I ever could)

What if you had everything taken away from you? Your friends, your love, your life, everything gone in a flash of fire? What if you had a chance to save one of them? Just one of them, would you do it? And if so, how would you choose? These are the questions Rarity must face as she walks into the frozen nightmare of a Hell gone cold and face the consequences of her choice. For when you can only save one, how can you choose?

A great way to get into the holiday spirit!

Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

Join our manly protagonist as he goes through his manly day, and eats his manly lunch! Oh and also kills discord with his bare hands...

What would My Little Pony be like if it were British? Let's all don our top hats and monocles, sip some tea, and watch a jolly good show, guvnah!

Now with its own reading!

NOTE: This story operates with only seasons 1-3 as canon. I totally haven't watch any of season 4, so any canon thereof will be completely disregarded.

What's the worst a storm could do?

Twilight Sparkle has become an alicorn and a princess, and she has inherited the responsibilities of each. However, while acclimatizing to the new direction her life has taken, a mysterious storm begins to brew to the far north. There's something that's just... off about it. It feels very strange and very old. Still, what's the worst a storm could do?

As mentioned earlier, this story is meant to take place directly after season three. Just think of it as an alternate universe -- that a significant character made a choice in this universe that he doesn't make on the show itself. The following explores the repercussion of that choice, as well as the MLP: FiM magic universe, its history and those that came before and live above.

But... there's more going on here... isn't there?

I'm Jamie Thompson, a brony living in suburban America. Nobody understands me, though. My mom keeps telling me to grow up. I don't get it, though. I'm totally an adult. I mean, I have a full beard growing on my neck!

Anyway, I was down on my luck and despairing about my crappy life, but then a spaceship full of ponies landed by the mall. Now all of my wildest dreams are about to come true. Sometimes all we need is a little spaceship to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Luna has been excited to finally traverse her dreamscape after a thousand years. It had taken awhile for Equestria to get used to her, believing her to be some sort of strange ghost haunting their dreams. Eventually she convinced them otherwise, and Luna was happy to reunite with the collective unconscious.

One night, a certain mare had her attention, and she decided to follow her curiosity...

Every movie needs conflict. This is done by adding an antagonist to the plot. Black Pearl auditioned for a film that had a lot of famous names in it, hoping that he could benefit from their fame and reputation. However, the character he was assigned to star as was far from noteworthy.

Written for the One-shotober challenge!
