Cadence was many things; stunningly beautiful, kind, full of love for her fellow pony, and a wonderful mother to Flurry Heart. She even managed to put aside her unease to give a young changeling a chance.

But effectively raising two foals on top of her duties as Crystal Princess took their toll, and Shining Armor knew his wife needed a break. It was high time for an intervention, his beloved Cadence needed a night off.

While trying to help Applejack with some baking, Starlight Glimmer accidentally shatters a mixing bowl that belonged to AJ's mother. This leads to frenzied research, a discussion of the universe's fundamental nature, several whirlwind races across Ponyville, an attempted theft, and the possible creation of a new form of magic. You know: the usual.

This is the story I would've written for the July 2016 Writeoff Association contest, "The End of an Era," but I didn't get a chance to actually put it together till two weeks after the writing weekend. Many thanks to Blazzing Inferno for comments on the first draft.

Applejack mourns the loss of one of the last 67,986 links she had to her dead father.

Tired of the bullying she and her friends have to go through by the hooves of Diamond Tiara, Scootaloo decides to make the ultimate sacrifice.

It hurts when the one you love doesn't return your affections. But Daisy has always believed that giving up is for the weak, and she's not weak. Twilight will either love her, or be annoyed by her until she does.

[Takes place very early on in season one, before Twilight knew Daisy's name as seen in the episode where they meet Zecora.]

Evildoers beware! Ponyville's latest masked vigilante is here. She's small, she's blue, she can inexplicably use a bow and arrow despite being an earth pony. She's the Masked Arrow!

Written mostly because Archer is an awesome background pony who needs more love and deserves her own tag.

Princess Twilight hosts the First Annual Princess Tea Party in Ponyville. Celestia and Luna have attended, and the "party" is nearing its end. The teapot is empty, and a solitary cookie remains. Two hooves and a magic aura reach for it, but Twilight is quicker.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna make a stand, against each other, to win the favor of Twilight, and, in addition, her cookie. Who will be crowned the Cookie Champion?

A gift for Cerulean Voice, who requested, and is being forcefully given, the story.

Scootaloo may just be the world's most unfortunate filly. She gets the short stick on everything. Of course, it just so happens that that short stick will always entail dying. It's a good thing she doesn't seem to notice that she dies a lot, otherwise things might start to get a bit complicated.

Short vignettes which reimagine each episode of MLP such that Scootaloo dies in increasingly spectacular and insignificant ways. Updates twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday.
