Candleheart is from the Ponyville Orphanage, and gets a lot of odd looks from the other kids. Most colts his age would be outside, playing games like hoofball, but he preferred to listen to stories. Stories told by the antique dealer, owner of the new curio shop. Candleheart's imagination never failed to take him to the distant lands in those stories, but always he went alone. Until...

This story is a sequel to When Two Hearts are Daring

This is an AU story where in Rainbow Dash's top secret antics in the weather factory get found out, but instead of jail time she just has to serve community service for the next 120 days. She meets some old friends and perhaps gains a few new ones. She might as well because she won't be touching the ground again for a long time.

Note: Title pic will get up here eventually.

Sunset Shimmer is well respected, and has gained a lot of trust over the past year. So when Princess Twilight entrusted her with watching over her one and only niece, she was thrilled.

But one slip of the tongue around the toddler could break that trust.

Now with Reading by Mindlessgonzo

Sometimes Pinkie sees the world in ways that others don't. To her, a bendy drinking-straw might serve as a debonair traveling companion, and a humble bag of flour might offer a comforting shoulder to cry on.

But what would happen if that straw, and that bag of flour, came to see each other as more than mere support for Pinkie? What if a flame of raw, unbridled passion began to burn between them?

Wonder no more, gentle reader! For within these pages lies a tale parody of tragic love in the tradition of such timeless classics as Romeo and Juliet and/or Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. But be warned, for within ye shall find such passion as to stir thy soul, regardless of whether thou art spending this Hearts and Hooves day nestled in thy lover's arms, or tucking into a resplendent tub of ice cream by thy lonesome...

Among the host of backup dancers and stagehooves supporting Countess Coloratura is a unicorn with a small but important role: Activating her voice-changing amulet.

But that unicorn's place in the world of music wasn't always so small. There was a time when he was every bit the star that she is now.

One night she changes her act, firing her longtime manager and choosing to let her natural voice shine. And the unicorn finds himself with time to ponder what this means; both for the Countess, and for his dreams of making a comeback...

Pre-read by Bluegrass Brooke and MisterNick following an appearance as "Still Waiting" in the December 2015 Writeoff, "Things Left Unsaid". I would be remiss not to acknowledge Trick Question for giving the same name to the same pony around the same time I did, though I maintain we each did so independently.

Fluttershy is given a rather odd request from somepony she thought she'd never see again: Iron Will. The minotaur seeks her out, asking her to teach him how to be as calm as she is. But when she agrees to being his tutor, will Iron Will take the lessons a little too close to heart?

One week has passed since the Battle of the Bands. Alone and hungry, Sonata must find food to survive until Adagio comes back.

Spike has always had a bit of a confidence issue when it comes to being in the spotlight. However, that soon changes when a pony who practically lives on the big stage hears him play the piano.

Special thanks to Jack of a Few Trades and Quillamore for helping me organize my ideas and turn them into something legible.
