This story is a sequel to Dragonshyness

September 9th-10th, YOH 1500 - same time as S1E08 "Look Before You Sleep" -- almost three months after Luna's Return

When Spike is summoned to Canterlot, he expects an assignment from Princess Celestia. Instead, he finds himself meeting with the Moon Princess to learn to synchronize his magic flame with her own field so that he can send and receive scrolls from her as well. This is no problem, but then he finds himself reclining on an old-style North-Realm couch having a long conversation with Princess Luna asking him all about his adventures with Twilight Sparkle and being fed a bowl full of gems. Will Spike get a stomach ache?

Sometimes, it's very tough to be a young magic Dragon.

In an attempt to get away from home and see a different world, I moved to Equestria. A lot of humans have recently, so it's not unusual for me to be here. While I'm still getting used to talking horses, I never thought about dating one. I'm still not totally on board for the whole cross species thing, but it's not uncommon anymore so I don't worry about it too much. My closest friend, a Unicorn called Twilight Sparkle, has been kind enough to let me stay at her library while I search for a home here myself. Her boyfriend, who's actually a human too, and I don't get along too well, but for her sake, I don't say anything too bad about him in front of her. But I just didn't expect things to escalate between us like they did.

*This story takes place when Twilight doesn't have wings and isn't a Princess.*

The Royal Guard has intensified their training regimen after countless attacks on Canterlot. They’re tougher, better, faster, stronger – and, after months of hard training, they only accept the best of the best. The Night Guard, the elite soldiers trained to protect Princess Luna during the evening, are similar to the Royal Guard, only ten times tougher.

Undeterred by the challenges that await him, Pipsqueak (now a full grown stallion) signs up to join the most elite soldiers in all of Equestria... The Night Guard.

He isn’t doing it for the fame or glory. Pip is motivated by one goal and one goal only: to fulfill a promise he made as a foal. He will become the guardian of the night.

This story is technically a sequel to The Dream Stalker, but it is not necessary to read that story first in order to understand this one.

Sometimes, all we need are a few stats to shed some light on a subject.

Failing once in her attempt to take Canterlot and failing again in her attempt to take down Twilight, one would think Chrysalis would have cut her losses and let things be, but the queen has once again appeared, this time in broad daylight with no disguise and no army. Her weapon of choice? Diplomacy.

Now Twilight is having to deal with the changeling queen, but surely putting up with her antics will be worth the knowledge she's willing to provide about her mysterious race and the potential undiscovered agents still within their midst...right?

Takes place before Magical Mystery Cure and diverges from there.

This story is a sequel to Celestia Sleeps In

After the accidental discovery of humans, Celestia tasked Lyra with learning about Dale's culture and Dale's language. Two meetings later, a misunderstanding caused Dale and a Coast Guard woman to be inadvertently transported to Equestria. With the two humans hospitalized and communication limited at best, the Equestrians just want to heal them, while back on earth the Coast Guard wants nothing more than to determine what happened to one of their sailors.

Rarity is a mare who holds all the finest things in life in high esteem: peace, equality, and proper fashion sense.

So naturally, when a mare dares to wear something that clashes with her hair, Rarity must take action. Mild mannered Rarity, however, would never be able to fight such a power by herself.

Yet, she just might know somepony who'll be up to the challenge..

Anon may be the smallest standing in all of Equestria, but he is the largest when if comes to having fun. Always getting himself and ponies around him into shenanigans. Anon likes to take thing up to 11, and many of the ponies let him. Join us as we sit back and watch Anon do things that no human has done before.

This fic contains very large ponies.

When a video game programmer mysteriously enters Equestria, it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. But the answer to the appearance may just be the precursor to the biggest disaster to befall Equestria since Discord.

I had a perfectly decent life, until these ponies abducted me. Now this Luna lady is saying she's my birth mother.
