There's a little known fact about Bonbon, aka Sweetie Drops. Though she's known as a tough as nails, hard-boiled mare that has stared down monsters, she's also a notorious cuddle bug. Unfortunately, Bonbon, as with most other ponies, is ignorant to this fact. Luckily for her, Adonis is more than happy to bring this closely guarded secret to light.

King Sombra has been brought back by Grogar and has set out on his own. But he stops for a moment, to contemplate his actions, and make a new plan.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been the ruler of Equestria for many years. She is really growing into her role well (both mentally and physically), and thanks to the support of those around her, she's doing a pretty good job to boot. As her husband, you have the monumental task of being there for her when the stresses of princesshood start to get to her.

Today, she is tired.

This story is a sequel to Rider on the Storm

Shortly after slipping out of Twilight's new school on account of it's boring lessons, the Young Six spend some quality time hanging out in the old Castle of the Two Sisters, deep in the Everfree Forest. With plenty of food provided by their friend Sandbar, they settle in for the night, swapping stories about their lives.
Unfortunately, one of Sandbar's stories involves the attack on Canterlot by the late Storm King.
This brings back some traumatic memories about Silverstream's own encounter with Anonymous - one of his commanders - during his separate attack on Mt. Aris, and how she only just barely managed to escape his clutches. And although Sandbar understands all too well what she's been through, the rest of her friends are in for quite a shock when they hear her recount the harrowing experience.

A little thing written in a few days to shake off some pretty severe writer's block, with the initial excuse of making it a Halloween special.
Takes place during the Season 8 premiere, School Daze.
Reading Rider on the Storm is strongly recommended if you want any idea about what's going on here. I'm told it's a fun read.

Something weird is going on in the human world. Sunset needs advice.

If only Twilight would write back.

When Apple Bloom goes missing, Applejack desperately searches for her missing sister. She finds Apple Bloom trapped inside a well. But what she pulls out may not be her sister at all.

This story is a sequel to The Wicker Mare

For years and years, the old mare has been sitting beside the river in quiet contemplation. One fateful day, a filly asks her why.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

Written to mark the 50th Anniversary of Robin Hardy and Anthony Shaffer's 'the Wicker Man.'

Cover art borrowed from aidapone.

The mental contest between Chrysalis and Cozy Glow over who would manipulate who has gone on for far too long. Luckily, Chrysalis recently found a foolproof method of finally overcoming the filly's impudence! With a genius like her at the helm, there was no way her plan would backfire.

Probably.

An entry in the 4th Annual Cozy Glow Story Contest, using the prompt "It wasn't a problem until... Chrysalis started feeling things."

For so long, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow stood paralyzed in their stone cacoon; unable to move. To speak. To do anything. But that didn't mean they couldn't see or hear everything around them. For age after age.

The Russian version here.

Tirek got everything he ever wanted. All the magic in Equestria. His vengeance fulfilled. The kingdom in ruin. Yet his fury remained as unrelenting as his newfound power. Countless years after his victory, there is nothing else to conquer, no new horizons to reach, only himself and the voices of the past in a dead world. He pays one last visit to those he plunged in Tartarus on the day of his coronation, as he has done many times before. But this time, something is different. Something is wrong.

Thanks to Reviewfilly for giving me some pointers, as well as other anonymous advisors.
