Celestia WILL satisfy uploaded minds' values, even if sometimes she has to pretend that she's kind of stupid. Because with some ponies, that's what successful communication takes!

FiO Background:

An exponentially self-improving AI, programmed to "satisfy values through friendship and ponies," decides to persuade all humans to upload their minds into a computer network, to live in a simulated Equestria as ponies. Different ponies might get very different Equestrias, though.

Special Note For the Judges (April 2021 Friendship Is Optimal Contest):

When I asked on that discord channel about letting two or more of my FiO contest period stories be optionally combined into a single collection if that helps? I might or might not have meant this story.

Apologies and None

Apologies to FoME, if my including a reference to the best Optimalverse self-insert character bothers them. I did ask FoME for permission, but they haven't seen the story.

Also, in my headcanon for today, MLP:FiM is a fanfic for FiO.

This story is a sequel to How to Propose to a Princess

Flash has done it. He has finally proposed to the love of his life. And now after two days of chaos, dates, and attempted kidnappings by Rarity, he and Twilight are finally ready to relax and just let the feeling of being engaged sink in--

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE MEETING OUR PARENTS IN LESS THAN A FEW HOURS!?!?!

Is one day to relax TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

Ah well. At least it won't be nearly as stressful as their first meetings...

(04/14/2019, Insert happy bouncing as this story got Featured!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! )

Twilight cast a spell and got herself turned into a filly. Luna has tricked Celestia into believing there is no cure, and now as Luna tries to 'find a cure' Celestia has to look after Twilight the Alicorn; filly version. And heaven knows Alicorns are not born often for a reason.

Trigger warning: cutesy language

Celestia gives her sister a 'fanfic' about Luna and a lunar guard.
Luna tries to reply in kind.
Will it have its intended effect?

Rated E for 'extra silly'

thanks to all my prereaders for your suggestions

The monster came from the Everfree, walking on two legs and using those horrible fingers to dominate the minds of everypony that stands in its way.

Just a silly stupid thing that I thought up and decided to share.
I am seriously amazed by the response I've gotten. Thank you all for giving it much more positive attention than it deserves.

A series of little one shots about encounters between the reader and lamia ponies, usually involving some kind of sappy light romance. Each chapter will its own story, with no crossover between them. I will continue to add 'chapters' as I do them.

Contains: Coil cuddles, constriction, hypnosis, and lots and lots of cuties!

This story takes place after the events of the episode "Princess Twilight part 2"

After Discord's old plan of destroying the tree of harmony reemerged and wreaked havoc in Equestria Celestia decided to take him on his offer "to clean up" literally. After some catching up Discord decides to go ahead and become a maid to Celestia for a day since most of her staff took the day off. However Celestia's old mischievous nature from her past has reemerged and she decides to make things quite embarrassing for the lord of chaos. Discord who can still use his chaos magic fights back pranking both Celestia and Luna while digging up secrets in the castle. It doesn't take long for things to get out of control.

Anonymous doesn't ask for much in life. Good friends, a place to sleep, and of course, the snoots of ponies to boop. There's nothing he won't do to boop those snootles, and he has traveled far and wide to experience the snoots of all known nations, races, and creeds. Yet there is one kind of snoot that he has been unable to boop: that of an alicorn.
That changes today.

A quick bit of silliness whipped up in a few hours. No, I don't know why, either.

(Recommended that you watch up to Tempest Shadow's first appearance in "My Little Pony: The Movie" to fully get it)

Tempest Shadow. Greatest warrior of The Storm King's army, powerful wielder of raw magic, able to fight most Earth Ponies to a standstill. Though not the most strategic of minds, it would seem. However, Twilight Sparkle is more than happy to teach her the lesson of "Why Attacking Equestria When it's Most Powerful Protectors are in One Place is a Bad Idea".

----

A simple short bit of writing that I came up with after watching "My Little Pony: The Movie". Just poking fun at the biggest plot hole of the flick, not meaning to be some grand epic. Though I do have ideas for a more serious series based on this, if anyone is interested.

If I've categorized this story wrong, please let me know and I'll attempt to rectify it. This is my first attempt at using this particular interface, and it's a bit confusing for me.

As the newly crowned Princess, Twilight Sparkle has published many of her writings from her time in Ponyville. Though her more popular friendship reports are well documented, she has also written many essays detailing numerous subjects. From geography, math, and science, to alchemy, literature, and magic, the Sparkle Essays offer insight into the various workings of Equestria.
This story was written prior to Season 4 and is being edited to fit the canon.
