Five years after her coronation, Twilight has to inform her friends of her biggest secret after denying Applejack's and Rainbow's request to turn one of Sweet Apple Acres Barns into a Bar/Restaurant.

Edit: Tried to tidy some grammar up a bit, few more commas, that sort of stuff, hope it looks a little better, but remember that I do this for fun not as a job so don't expect perfection please. Also be aware I use Queen's English, so some words may look different to Americans, colour, apologise etc.

Great and Powerful Trixie lands the performance opportunity of a lifetime. A kingdom and all its riches are hers - as long as her audience doesn't kill her first.

An entry for the 2024 May Pairings contest.

Warning: The following one-shot contains themes of M/M, a daughter's confrontation, and a father that's trying to explain himself. If you don't like one of these, you know where the exit button is.

Trixie was upset. Her father, Jack Pot is going to marry his stage partner, Big Bucks. In all those visits that Trixie had made since she had moved out, she had never once heard anything about this. Not just that her dad was dating, but was going to marry a stallion. However, on top of all of that, she found out through a newspaper that he was getting married soon. So Trixie took it upon herself to go to Las Pegasus to get some answers.

Sisters being peaceable with horrors unspeakable.

As this is an anthology series, it will update periodically. The stories are largely unrelated, but within the same continuity.

Celestia has sent for Fluttershy to do research on a carnivorous creature wreaking havoc in the mountains of Cantorlot. But it might be more difficult than any animal she's encountered before…

Time may heal all wounds, but the scars and trauma left behind could change those affected in both expected and unexpected ways, and not always for the better. For some, time is enough, but for others, something more is needed. A distraction. Something to cling to when you feel there's nothing left. For the Princess of Equestria, that something was a mystery better left unsolved.

I thought it was just a particularly hot summer. When my friends and the rest of the town started acting weird, I thought it was just the heat. After all, we've had heatwaves before, and those always drive ponies a little crazy. That's what I told myself, anyway.

And then I did some digging and realized I was right... and also very, very wrong.

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.

2nd Reading: The Well by Mystery Pony Fiction

Once upon a time, everypony spoke the same language.

Then came Discord, and everything changed. Was it a malicious prank? Boredom? An attempt to teach everypony a lesson? We can't ask him, because he's gone, and who knows when he'll be back.

If language is the glue that holds society together, what happens when it turns to sand?

Winner of the October Writeoff competition, "Illusion of Choice."

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.
