Lyra is getting ready to move. Knowing that it'll be the last time they'll all be together in Canterlot, Minuette decides to get all of their friends together to help. Trouble is, Twilight doesn't usually show up for such things, much to Moondancer's dismay.
Of course, Minuette knows Twilight's one weakness: Books. And Lyra has plenty of those.

Hope is the faith of the young. Losing everything she holds dear, Puppysmiles embarks on the adventure of her life to find her mother, her hopes of meeting her again driving her through the horrors of a world not of her making. Too bad the Wastelands doesn't care about hope.

This story is a sequel to Aegis of the Hive

Natural selection. It is the byword of every changeling queen who has ever lived. The chief resource that has always curbed the hives' growth used to be love. Now though, with Queen Twilight Sparkle's bloodline capable of producing love on their own, the old guard of changeling morality has seen fit to acquire this ability for the next generation before removing all of their future royal daughters' competitors.

Some queens are far closer to this goal than others.

Editor in Chief: A Bitter Pill, and Boldish42

The Sundered Goddess and Queen of All Magic, Twilight Sparkle, has reunited with one of the 24 Fragments of the Sundered Goddess: Okami Amaterasu. She has to fulfill all of Amaterasu's duties. Finding a foalsitter for Amaterasu's son, Chibi, is one of those duties.

If only Chibi weren't so cute.

This is an AU where many cultures have physical gods as rulers or patron deities. More information and world-building can be found in this thread. The story should be readable without reading the thread. The thread just offers a ton more background info.

This is a quasi-crossover. It features Ammy and Chibi, but they are given different back stories and treated as parts of the universe. They never had their adventures in Nippon, hence the lack of a [Crossover] tag. Edit: moderators made me add the crossover tag.

Characters not tagged: Dinky Hooves, Cadence, Shining Armor.

Changed rating to teen.

Pinkie has a secret. So far, she's kept it from everyone, but Twilight can tell that something's wrong with her. So she offers what vague support she can… until Pinkie takes her into the basement to show her.

While cleaning out her basement, Cheerilee comes across a long forgotten board game. Deciding to give it a shot, she invites her friends over for a night of fun. Unfortunately, she's unaware of the reputation this game has gained. For you see, in Diplomacy, the number one rule is: Never play this game with friends, or you may need to find new friends...

Takes place in the Lunaverse, season 2, during the Winter arc. There really do need to be an option for six tags, but until then, an additional tag for Cheerilee.

This has a sister-story named Six Best Friends Play Diplomacy, which features the Mane six instead. It isn't going to be the same story with swapped names; each group has different personalities so both games will be very different. I just couldn't decide which group of six would be more interesting, so I wrote both. I must hate free time...

Oh My God, my first story to get featured! Thank you, everyone! 7/27/14

Fiddlesticks and Beauty Brass have always had a thing for each other. Too bad Fiddlesticks is way too shy to do anything about it, so Beauty Brass has taken action and asked Fiddlesticks out on a date in Canterlot.
Too bad Fiddlesticks overheard part of a conversation that wasn't meant for her, and now she is questioning every little detail about herself and her date, and thus she's acting about as opposite as ponyly possible. And Beauty Brass is wondering if she's done something wrong.
A typical love story based around a single bit of miscommunication.

Written for EQD's little Hearts and Hooves Day special event.

Tirek. Discord. The Changelings.

The ponies have faced all these threats, and triumphed, but things could have been handled better. Princess Celestia knows this better than most. She knows that to face threats even greater than Tirek, greater than Discord, the ponies need allies. They need friends to turn to when the chips are down and the mad gods and cruel tyrants are on the horizon

She and Princess Twilight Sparkle travel to the Griffon Kingdom to meet the Griffon King. They seek to negotiate a formal treaty, something more than a rudimentary "You stay in your yard, we'll stay in ours." If the Changelings invade, or Tirek is once more a threat, it will not only be the ponies standing against them, but the griffons as well. It's only logical, after all. The griffons and the ponies share a border. They share ideas. They share refugees and concepts and cultures. And there haven’t been any major hostilities since the Pony-Griffon War. That was almost a thousand years ago.

It is logical to enter an alliance, but politics aren’t always about logic. Sometimes they are about past crimes, mistakes, and tragedies. Sometimes, past grudges simply can't be let go.

(Rated Dark and Teen for some disturbing content, though nothing too heavy or overt)

Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream.

She wants to be faster.

This is what happens when she gets her wish.

A three part story.
