It has been 18 years since Celestia and Luna departed from this world for the next, leaving Twilight Sparkle in charge of Equestria. An old threat has reared it's ugly head, and now she must rise up to stop it.

The problem? She can't. She hates to admit it, Scratch, the Eternal Warden of Tartarus, is right. The Elements of Harmony have left her and her friends, and are ready to pass on to new blood. But who?

Meanwhile, Twilight's niece, Flurry Heart, has been sent to a little town called Ponyville to "Do herself some good" they said. On the train she meets a rather lazy colt who starts to show her around town.

Ponies have been getting more and more violent... They'll jump more quickly to anger than they used to...

And the summer has been unusually cold.

After the defeat of Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash comes to a startling conclusion about the villains they fight.

With thanks to JCatt and Lord of Dorkness with their help pre-reading.

As it turns out, not all I do is make music. I actually have a pretty decent talent making plush pony dolls on the side. It brings in good bits... on occasion, such as this one time a little baby dragon commissioned me into crafting him a white unicorn with a blue mane to snuggle with at night.

Then one day, about a week later, I suddenly found myself with more clients. Like... a lot more clients.

Welcome everybody, my name's Markiplier and this is a short story about one of the worst days of my life. I had to spend twenty-four hours in a world of multicolored ponies and try to survive this chaotic world within the allotted time. Fans, they are many, they are awesome, but sometimes... they're not from our lovely little rock called,"Earth."

I hope you'll enjoy this, but should you find something unsatisfactory about it, well... there's a lot more interesting stories you could be reading. Have a good one.

Keep it cool, Condemned.

A golden mirror. An ancient threat. A blinding light. Twilight and her friends must find out how to stop this phenomenon from unleashing a horrible glare upon the kingdom. Along the way she discovers some secrets of Equestria's past, her mentor's origins, the motives of old enemies, and the first Alicorn King.

Rainbows at night. Strange apparitions in the sky. Seismic disturbances. Bizarre rumors.

No doubt about it...there's definitely something strange going on at Canterlot High School.

Twilight Sparkle is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.

But are the Rainbooms ready to deal with this Twilight Sparkle?

If you had access to a portal to a universe filled with ponies, would you go? Rarity wants to sneak across; Drama Letter accidentally fell in. And while Rainbow Dash is fascinated by her wings, Flash Sentry wants his clothes back!
And of course, if pony Lyra is apparently fascinated by humans, wouldn't human Lyra be fascinated by mythological ponies?

Hey. I'm Noteworthy. Right now I am having a discussion with my client and good friend A. K.

It is going to be a long... LONG day.

Dedicated to my editor Ephraim Blue on the occasion of his 16th birthday. The kid's almost five years younger than me, and a thousand times smarter. I hope this story about a long suffering editor will act as a modest and heartfelt thank you.

A secret unknown to any hornless pony, unicorn horns are made of candy. Pinkie Pie found out, and now she wants to try every flavor!

Warning: contains awkward moments and far too much non-consensual horn licking. Proceed at the risk of your horn and your dignity.

I've never really had any imaginary friends when I was a foal. I guess I didn't really have time for them. I mean, I had my books and my BBBFF, so I didn't really feel like I needed to create one.

I guess that's why I found it so strange when Rarity came to me, asking for help with Sweetie Belle. Seems she had managed to pick up one of her own, and it was starting to cause some problems. Well, of course I'd be willing to help Rarity in any way I could. What are friends for?
