The School of Friendship thinks Smolder and her friends are role models and can encourage other non-ponies to come to the school. Smolder isn't quite so sure she fits the bill of what's needed. A chance encounter with Rainbow Dash gets her involved as she tries to show Smolder that she's a better role model than she thinks.

A distress call issues from a mansion in the snow-capped peaks of the Crystal Mountains. One of the six young residents is reporting evidence of a changeling among them. The Royal Guard rallies to their remote location with all haste, but they are days away—they have charged Detective Pesco and his apprentice Bluebird with investigating the scene in advance.

There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. Identity is a delicate thing, and the changeling's isn't the only one on the brink of unraveling.

A novel-length mystery (social deduction, closed room, limited suspect pool) with an emphasis on character drama. Entirely original cast split among canonical and semicanonical MLP species: ponies, griffons, reindeer, zebra—and among them, the changeling.

Assumed to take place prior/alternative to the changeling reformation in season 6.

“For a relationship that should have been acid all the way down, I like that there was some genuine connection at the heart of it. Beneath about fifty layers of acid, of course. They're sweethearts really.”

Queen Novo does not forgive or forget easily. When her niece seemed to prefer a school in the middle of a continent run by a would-be thief to Mount Aris, that didn't sit well with her.

The good news is that Twilight's managed to resolve that situation already.

The bad news is that there's another coming down the pike.

An entry in Bicyclette's Crackship Contest. Rated Teen for strong language and the love that dare not speak its name on a TV-Y series.

Matilda was one among many griffons sent as tribute after Equestria defeated Gryphonia in a great humiliating battle. There she is put to work the great boilers of Canterlot Palace from morning till evening, constantly providing hot steaming water for the day's use.

Making friends is difficult for Matilda, though she wants to try. Living life is harsh because she was a citizen of a disgraced nation, though she is proud of her heritage. Having ambitions is impossible because it would take a lifetime to earn her freedom, though she does not stop dreaming about it.

Until she begins to discover the power of Friendship and Harmony for herself.

Follow her as she writes about her thoughts, feelings, opinions, and wishes, in a simple journey of self-discovery, humor, and longing.

Yona has something she needs to talk about, but she gets a little distracted.

After finding out Gallus was an Orphan last year, Silverstream offers to let him spend the Holiday with her family. Everygriff is friendly, and mount aris is a lot nicer than Griffinstone. It's easily the best Holiday he's ever had. He's having fun... and yet...

He can't stop comparing everything to Griffinstone.
He can't stop wondering what it would be like to have family that cares about you.
He can't stop wondering what his life would be like if his parents had stuck around.

and with everygriff being so nice he doesn't want to say anything.

The annual Yaken holiday of Snilldar Fest is a special time of year for all of Yakyakistan as evey yak comes together and indulges in two of their most important aspects of life: family and smashing!

What happens when Smolder gets invited to partake in such festivities for the holidays?

Probably some form of smashing-related hijinks ensue!

Merry Jinglemas Hammerhead! Sorry for the delay!

Discord knows this one place where he's wanted to take Fluttershy to ever since they became a couple. A place where he can show her why it's so much fun to mess around with reality, and she has just the thing to try out.

Quick thanks to Corejo for last-minute corrections and minor edits. And while they didn't specifically help me with this, I would like to thank Petrichord for the coffee that got me through writing (and that one consultation about changing the POV), and also Admiral Biscuit for that advice he gave me at the bar a couple of months ago to not overcomplicate things, especially when talking about lesbian horses. Thanks guys.
