The people of Equestria and Gaia may have a lot in common with each other, but when one world is populated by ponies that possess the gift of magic while the other has bipedal creatures that don’t, there are bound to be some differences.

They will have different traditions, different values, different beliefs, and different celebrations.

Of course, harmony and friendship is all about embracing the things that make people unique, and if there is going to be harmony between these two very different worlds, it is important for everyone to understand these differences.

Fortunately, there are a couple of girls who are very eager to learn.

A collection of short stories that take place in the same setting as my Harmony and Valor series, but are not part of its official canon.

Diamond Tiara's joy at her newfound outlook and friends is shortlived. Exiled to her bedroom while her uncompromising mother decides what to do with her, she can only listen in as Spoiled Rich tells her too-meek-by-half husband Filthy EXACTLY how useless his daughter is. Then, there's a sudden knock on the door... and Tiara's adventure is about to begin.
Set after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark'.
Now rated T for some disturbing scenes

Great new cover drawn, completely at their own behest, by the very talented robsa990. What a nice chap he is.

The new age of piracy has begun.

The disappearance of Princess Fluttershy has shocked the world, but not as much as the 1.000.000.000 Bit reward put out to anyone that can find her. As criminals from the lowest sewers to the nobles of the highest castles gear up their ships to travel the Equestrian Sea to find her, the very Mare’s bodyguard, Rainbow Dash, must acquire a team of ragtag individuals to track her down and save her from sinister threats that wish her harm.

Join Rainbow Dash on this wild adventure as she interacts with interesting characters, explores the deepest caves and the highest mountains in all of Equestria, and unlocks the ancient secrets of the Seas.

For a pirate isn’t defined by the gold in their chests, but by the freedom in their heart.

Revenge is a common subject. It is a bittersweet concept that is often perceived as a pit that can entrap even the most righteous of individuals. It can change a person in dramatic ways that not a single person could predict with certainty.

To Ambrosia "Jack" McAnderson, it is a way of life. Ever since a night on her family's apple orchard, she has known nothing else. Revenge is not some foreign idea that only plagued the badmen of the wastelands, it was an obsession, a righteous calling. Jack was revenge and she would do the Lord's will and smite the unholy people who prey upon the good people of the west.

Two mares in Equestria are in desperate need of help. One mare, commonly known as Rainbow Dash, has broken both of her wings in a terrible flying accident. Stuck in a hospital bed for weeks, the arrogant mare feels that she needs no help at all. Of course, when a certain Wonderbolt offers assistance, his offer is hard to refuse. The other mare, commonly known as Princess Celestia, is in a dreadful position. Her sister Luna has set up a blind date for her in Ponyville, and Celestia believes that she has almost no experience with stallions or dating. This princess feels that she needs all the help she can get. Will these mares get through their situations, or will they fail terribly? All they need is a little help . . .

Big Macintosh comes across a lost filly in Sweet Apple Acres and enters a dangerous adventure to keep her safe from the dangers in the Everfree forest.

Not all assumptions are malicious, but even the most innocent rumours can be unpleasant, if they actually effect ponies' lives. Rainbow Dash knows this all too well as she tries to confront the stallion of her dreams. A bitter-sweet kind of hilarity ensues when she meets another pony with similar problems.
.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle can see plain as day that their sisters like each other. They just won't admit it. Now the duo, with the help of a few of their big sisters' friends, take it upon themselves to bring their sisters closer than ever!

Rarity is ruined. After 5 years of designing outfits and costumes that make even the most snobbish of ponies envious, every pony has lost interest in her fashion style... no pony in Equestria wants to do with anything "old" or "strange" and Rarity is losing all of her clients. With bills piling up and Rarity unable to find any amount of work, even making cheesy costumes for school plays, Rarity is forced to sell her home and belongings; and file bankruptcy... Applejack, seeing her lifelong crush in finical ruin, decides to let Rarity and Sweetie Bell live on the farm to help out until they get back on their hooves.

We know the story of Sunset Shimmer's fall and redemption, but there was a time before the fall. Her experiences as Princess Celestia's personal student would affect them both. Being the 'Chosen One' is not all it is cracked up to be.
