Big Macintosh goes on strike when he sees he's the one doing all the heavy lifting and harder work at Sweet Apple Acres while his sisters frolic. His idea catches fire throughout Ponyville, and soon every stallion is up in arms! Sexism explodes in the tiny town, it's Stallions on Strike!

After the ending of "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", Gustave le Grand takes great notice in the one mare who did NOT take a bite of the cake and also gave her part to solving the mystery and always kept her attitude at calm when others lost it.

What does this proud baker exactly feel and how is this mare unlike any pony he has ever met? And who says you can't have your cake and eat it, too? Especially when eating it means the start of an unlikely but very much wonderful friendship...

Author's Note: Ever since that 'MMMystery' episode aired, I had HOPED people would bring in some Gustave le Grand stories into this site the way we've been given some good PinkiexJoe ones. I mean, he's the second GRIFFIN to appear on the show since Gilda! Glad to be one of the first to make one! ;)

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

It's a normal day in Ponyville. Elusive, Rainbow Blitz, and Bubble Berry are all hanging out and having a good time until Blitz offends Elusive's honor as a stallion. Now the three have a bet, the objective: Get a date with one of their close friends, Applejack Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy.

This story contains R63 on three of the mane six and a few other characters. This idea was spawned by the picture.

Warning may contain massive Dwaa's and a few clichés.

You know the story of Nightmare Moon. Or so you think. What many do not know is that before she was banished, she had a foal of her own. Many people do not know, not even the Princess. Which is good otherwise she would have seen right through my disguise. My name is Shadow Moon but everypony over the past thousand years have called me Twilight Sparkle and this is my story.

Twilight overdoes it on a simple half mile teleportation spell and ends up where no pony has gone before. Or wanted to go.

Many years ago, shortly before the birth of one Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, ruler of Equestria, found a small item in a forest. That item? An egg. Around the same time, in another place, Celestia, ruler of Draconica found something small in a forest. That thing? A pony.

Queen Chrysalis wants revenge on Twilight Sparkle. She ruins her life, making her the Queen of the Changelings and hiding her natural body away. Now, with, everypony chasing her for crimes she didn't commit, she must find a way back before her soul is lost. forever.
*EDIT: I am cancelling this story, as I am losing interest in the MLP series as a whole. Basically, I have lost interest in my story, as well as the show. I am sorry if you were expecting more chapters.*

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

Twilight and Applejack make a confession, hoping they will be accepted by their friends. Rainbow Dash horrifies them all by reacting not only with shock but hatred against the "unnatural acts"

Twilight suspects there's more to Rainbow's attitude than meets the eye.
