Granny Smith sits in her bed awaiting the care of Applejack. Or was she?

This story is a sequel to Stadiums and Bleachers

Throughout the empty city, Rainbow explores her past and her future while trying to find the present.

A generation ago the three tribes of ponies joined together in harmony after the discovery of the new land of Equestria. But even years later this land is still largely unknown. The leaders of the ponies decide that an expedition to travel and learn about their new home is needed.

Locations for settlements, appropriate farmlands, rivers, forests, all need to be discovered. Roads must be planned. Borders drawn. A map made. And Trail Blazer is the pony for the job.

She may be a drunk, a floozy, and lazy, but she’s the best at what she does.

Joined by the fastidious unicorn Lustrous and the martial-minded pegasus Steel Wing the three of them will embark on the greatest undertaking of their lives: To be the first ponies to travel the entirety of Equestria and draw a grand map of it to aid and unite all ponies of present and future.

A changeling sets up a secret shop inside of Ponyville. He can be anyone you want him to be. The crush you wished felt the same way about you. The boss you want to just scream at. The parent you hoped would return someday. The friend that's now your enemy.

He can be anyone you want him to be. Just don't ask him to be himself.

Now with a youtube reading. HERE!

He was an old collector... a bold collector.

Trinkets and souvenirs of times long gone; there was hardly a thing that he'd ever forgone.

Memories, experiences, things that once mattered-- it's inevitable, that one day those things may be shattered.

This story is expanded on in Splintershard!

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Factory

Cloudsdale Weather Corporation has been running without incident for over twenty years. That is, until two foals manage to avoid being processed and find themselves in the haunted bowels of the massive facility. Can they make it out of the abandoned factory with their sanity intact? Will they uncover the secrets even a company as dark as the CWC is ashamed to keep? And what of the workers who help ensure that, in the end, not a single soul gets through...

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

Comedy Tag added as well
And changed the character tags a bit.

One small change can alter everything you know. One small change, no matter how seemingly insignificant, can change the entire course of history for the better or worse.

Enter Maripony, the Enclave soaring overhead as a monstrous entity screams its death throes, it and the Enclave force annihilated by the Stable Dweller. Very few Enclave escaped that day and lived to see their final fall.

But what if a single officer, in another timeline, had their sky carriage malfunction, thus causing them to miss the departure? Small, insignificant. An officer who had very little to add to the story of the Lightbringer, who was to die a meaningless death in a balefire blast. But if they survived...?

War Never Changes. But the world has.

And Littlepip is dead.

Warning: The following is currently unedited. You have been warned.

In the land of Equestria, the music of The Beatles has become beloved. For Ocellus, thanks to Sandbar, she has been introduced to their music and has picked up music lessons to play one of their songs. But what would happen if one day, she wakes up and finds that no one, not her friends, her scholarly Headmare, or even all of Equestria has forgotten about the Fab Four?

An idea that's based on the film "Yesterday," and is taking in a deeper dive into this brilliant concept.

A special thank you to Geek Crossing for this wonderful cover for this story.

Unspoken feelings of love and a cold emptiness on the inside.

How does Applejack really feel about Rarity? If she never gives voice to her thoughts does it even matter? Do her feelings even exist?
