Sunset Shimmer returned to Equestria and met with her old mentor, Princess Celestia. She was forgiven for everything she had done, and welcomed back like the prodigal daughter from a fairytale. Yet a guilty conscience is not so easily mended, and while visiting Princess Celestia for tea she finally opens up to her, hoping to finally make things right.

Spoiler: Story contains a consensual non-sexual spanking

Ash can't fall asleep and stumbles into a Sand-mare. They have to travel through the Dreaming to find out why. There's also ice cream. Dreamy, delicious ice cream.

Thanks to my friend Blue Pineapple for the cover art that to me captures the feel of this story perfectly.

[Note: This chapter is based on the events of MLP's recent 200th episode, and was written less than two days after the episode premiered.]

It's been less than a month since the unexpected return (and near domination) of King Sombra upon the Crystal Empire, as well as Ponyville and Canterlot. Even though the treacherous foe had been vanquished once more, and Equestria was still safe and sound, Twilight Sparkle was happy to see that the Royal Sisters were already looking into increasing the security measures around their castle. And since the pony assigned to strengthening their defenses was one of Equestria's most skilled unicorns in protection magic -- Prince Consort and Head of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor -- it seemed only fitting to have the Princess of Magic herself test his security measures with the aid of her friends.

Spike and the six Elements seemed more than eager to test their skills against Twilight's brother, but one of them appeared to be less worried about Shining's capabilities than she should have. Is Twilight able to change Rainbow Dash's opinion about the stallion they saved on multiple occasions? Or is there more to Shining Armor's abilities and skills that haven't been seen by them just yet?

After Rainbow Dash's rump meets lightning one time too many, she feels like her reputation in town is ruined as ponies start laughing at her misfortune. Her self-esteem in tatters and her loyalty waning, its up to her friends to help her. Please review!

12/22/11 EDIT: Updated with corrections, revisions and an added scene in Chapter 11

Set in Chengar Qordath's Winningverse. Rainbow Dash is Dinky Doo’s godmother, and she’s volunteered to take her out on her very first Nightmare Night! As a responsible godmom, it’s her job to make sure that the holiday’s nothing short of perfect for her. And what better night could she ask for? Costumes, candy, awesomeness, candy, pranks—and of course, candy. It’s almost too much for a little filly to handle.

Fortunately, Rainbow totally has this covered.

Special thanks to my pre-readers: Comma-Kazie, Chengar Qordath and Ponibius.

This story is a sequel to Hot Heads, Cold Hearts and Nerves of Steel

DASHVERSE: (Takes place several months after the events of http://www.fimfiction.net/story/68962/hot-heads-cold-hearts-and-nerves-of-steel)

Rainbow Dash and her friends are off to Canterlot to help in the preparations for the wedding of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor! But once she arrives, Rainbow learns of a sinister plot against Equestria. What's worse, she can't even rely on her friends to help her because one of them is not who she seems...

"Dinky's a lucky kid. I mean--think about it: how many ponies get *me* for a godmom? Yeah, that's right, one. (Well, okay, two, but Dinky was first.) It's a great gig and basically it just means I get to hang out with Dinky and be my usual awesome self ... Right?"

Part of Chengar Qordath's Winningverse, a side story to "The Life and Times of a Winning Pony"

Takes place after "The Break Up Break Down"

Applejack is wondering if she's been a good influence on her quiet, withdrawn older brother or not. Rainbow Dash drops by to toss in her two bits as the two discuss how big an influence siblings are in shaping a pony's life, liberally punctuated by snark.

Note: I wrote this up shortly after the episode aired and promptly forgot about it. It's a pretty unpolished work, just a one-shot of two characters chatting, but I figured I might as well share it. If nothing else, hopefully the two trading barbs is good for a few chuckles.

This story is a sequel to Rainbooms and Royalty

An alternate universe re-imagining of "Friendship is Magic." Rainbow Dash is the personal protege of Celestia, ruler of all Equestria. Follow her through the events of the 1,000th Summer Sun Celebration and the return of Nightmare Moon! (A significant rewrite of the "Rainbooms and Royalty")

Cadance didn't know what to expect when her formerly banished Aunt Luna returned from her thousand year banishment. But, she's quite entertained by the hilarity. Especially if it means a chance to play a little joke.
