This story is a sequel to Lectern’s New and Used Books: Summer Break

A Twin Canterlots story—first in the Cook’s Tour series

When the nation hosting the portal terminus at Canterlot High School finds out about it, and the fiery-haired young woman who isn’t what she seems, what do the Powers That Be do about it? Why, send shiny new foreign service officer Cookie Pusher to investigate, of course.

Cook receives his initial briefing some seven months after “Through the Mirror” and less than a month after “Rainbow Rocks”—early in season five.

The war pressed ever northwards, and Luna lead as the tip of that spear. Before her lay the abandoned town, Snow Vale. A safe pass through the mountains. A staging ground to strike at the Empire's very heart.

Sombra's beaten and broken slave-soldiers were retreating into the town. An oncoming blizzard darkened the horizon and within, icy demons fed to bloating by the war bay and howl. Luna narrowed her eyes. It would come too late. She would rout the enemy. She would take Snow Vale. She would claim the pass for their armies.

Half a league. Half a league. Half a league forwards.

Luna regarded her soldiers. Bright eyed, hot-breathed, ready. She smiled and gave the order.

They charged.

Humans... humans are such a bizarre race. Capable of the greatest benevolence and the worst atrocities. And yet, they're so very predictable. For you see, while societies may die, and nations may crumble, one thing will remain constant: the desire to survive.

I should know. I was there when everything fell.

Pinkie is happy with her life. She enjoys working at Sugarcube Corner, throwing parties, and making other ponies happy. But every so often, she thinks about what she left behind to make it. Sure, she may write and visit them, but she can't help but imagine the dull grey skies, the expressionless faces, and all those rocks.

To solve the issue surrounding the destructive, hyper Pinkie clones, Twilight has worked in collaboration with Mayor Mare and Princess Celestia to create a program to convert the clones into functioning citizens. This involves creating a separate community for the clones that acts as both a therapeutic camp and a basic society.

With the program in place, many of the clones are being trained into becoming "normal", but it turns out one of the clones has a little more inside their pink body.

Submission for Equestria Daily's More Most Dangerous Game Contest

Igneous Pie needs an errand run and Limestone has volunteered. Igneous lets her go, but he sends Maud and Marble with her to keep her in check and make sure she doesn't have another road rage incident. Can Maud and Marble manage the rage of Limestone Pie?

Most likely not.

A powerful love story from Equestria’s history has been forgotten to time, yet it continues to this day.

Princess Celestia and Smart Cookie have watched Equestria rise. They’ve guarded it, and each other, against the most vile threats and darkest nights. They share a dream that’s entwined their hearts for two thousand years, and a love that’s given them the strength to see it realized.

Now they face the ultimate test of that love; one that comes not from monsters or armies, but from the opposed wills of two ponies who want only what’s best for one another, their friends, and Equestria, and who can’t back down when any of those things are at stake.

(Canon taken into account through season 6... this took me a long time to finish.)

Twilight Sparkle may have shown Starlight Glimmer the error of her ways, but Starlight is still new to the concept of true friendship.

Fortunately, Twilight has true friends in high places--and none of those friends could be better at providing a down-to-earth perspective than Applejack.
