Mane Melody survived its first few weeks and a visit from Phyllis Cloverleaf, letting Jazz Hooves finally find her place at the newly opened salon. When she is left in charge on a slow day, a strange customer stumbles through her door. As she gets to know the timid mare, Jazz discovers that showing just a little kindness in something as mundane as hoof care can make all the difference in the life of another.

Kennedy goes to Equestria after being WACKED by the CIA.
Or…
How Starlight Glimmer got some very bad ideas on how to create her utopia.

This is a fun little story I thought up one day at work after looking at a silly little picture.
Then I added Starlight Glimmer, because it was fun. Then I added Pinkie Pie, because it was fun.
In the end I made what I found to be a silly little comedy story. So that's what this story is, a silly little comedy story.

Really the thanks go to 'Arareroll' for making the image that inspired me in the first place, and for letting me use it as a cover art.

Your closest friend, Sunny Starscout, has had a rough week. She seems intent on keeping it that way, but you have a plan. A convoluted plan, perhaps, but a plan nonetheless. It involves smoothies, fireworks, and most importantly, a hug. Your goal?

Her smile and optimism: Restored.

It's Hearts and Hooves Day today in Maretime Bay today, (which is the ponies’ version of Valentines Day), but for some reason, Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, Zipp, and Misty have been acting weird around you.

Based on Bendy's “A Relaxing Day” Fic. But with a more wholesome twist.

Venturing into the unknown, Izzy and Sunny have a long journey ahead of them. Even as they meet new friends and accomplish the impossible, they grower closer and closer together. Closer, even, then the other ponies in their little group. Closer than friends.

In a divided Equestria, can two ponies of different races love each other and still be together?

This is a redux of an original work posted with permission from a now-defunct author profile--the original no longer exists anywhere except on the archive. Hope you enjoy!

Jazz is a high-class mare. Obviously. Her boyfriend, Anon, is cut from a similar cloth.

Is it any surprise, then, that the two of them would ponder the meaning of life on their date night? It's a totally normal thing for ponies (and humans) like them to do.

Or maybe they're just weird.

Day #2 of Hearts and Hands Week.

Wingbardy, Francistria, Sicameon... the nations of Southern Griffonia all sought to remove the last trace of the Lunar Empire's influence from their continent, the colony of New Mareland, by waging a united surprise war against it while Her Imperial Majesty, Nightmare Moon, was busy fighting the Changeling Lands under Queen Chrysalis.

They failed.

Now, with all the griffons brought low and subjugated under the reign of the Nightmare, those who rule New Mareland in her stead, the Shadowbolt Society, hold all the cards. It is they who will decide the future of the nation, and they who will shape the history of the region for decades to come...

Written for the 1st Equestria at War #fanfiction-zone contest. Note that this story takes place in the Equestria at War universe.

Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Captain Rex crash land after a battle on a world populated by ponies during the Clone Wars. Will they be able find a way back before the Separatists arrive?

Mayor Mare has been living in Ponyville for quite some time. Not as long as she'd have you believe, mind you, but a long time all the same. During this period, she had dreams and aspirations, and as far as she's concerned, she accomplished each and every one. But what do you do when you've already achieved all of your goals?

Well, she was pretty lonely. And although she obtained the exact career path she wanted for many moons, she had much less luck with the stallions in her life.

She never would have imagined that the solution would come in the form of a human, or what that solution would eventually lead to. The result is quite unorthodox.

It wasn't very long ago that Misty Brightdawn declared her independence from Opaline Arcana. Now, she lives a much happier life in Maretime Bay with all of her friends.

Unfortunately, some aspects of life that are considered "normal" to most are completely alien to the sheltered Misty, and during a quiet moment alone with her good friend Anon, he learns what one such oddity is: affection.

And he is more than happy to help her figure it out.
