  • Intro to Ponies 26 stories These are good even if you know little more about ponies than that some friends turned Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna with magic friendship beams.


  • ❤ Pony Prose Perfection 34 stories Because even my Highly Recommended wasn't selective enough for these gems (<3% of stories I enjoy make it onto this list). These deserve more stars than I can reasonably give.


  • Pony Prose Imperfection 2 stories Would be in Pony Prose Perfection were it not for that one pesky serious flaw. In the case of both stories presently listed, that's entirely contained in the (skippable) epilogue.


  • ⁂ Highly Recommended 168 stories Stories I greatly enjoyed, that grab me and don't let go. (Five stars, basically.)


  • Flawed Gems 20 stories Would be in Highly Recommended were it not for that one pesky serious flaw (usually favorable treatment of immorality).

When I first met Princess Twilight, she was confused, lost. Adrift in an alien world. I thought of her as a rich eccentric, certainly a foreigner. I humored her as much as I believed her, really. Even when she dragged me to the very ends of the world in her mad quest for a mythic well, I really did it all for her. I figured it would help her find some closure, and we could go home.

I was right, in a way.


Based roughly on the game 80 Days.

A simple exchange of gifts between the Royal Sisters becomes not-so-simple as the fun gets doubled, then quadrupled, then very nearly octupled.

This is the first book of The Humanity Within Trilogy. Its sequel is What I've Done.

I wasn't always like this, a monster, running through the woods on an alien planet. I was once a man. I had dreams, a girlfriend, and a great job.
Then They came. In the middle of the night, They scooped me from my home, and... changed me.

Now I'm a beast, a demon the like of which the world I've become stranded on has never seen before, scraping by on the fringes of society, hiding from the natives, and doing my best to avoid notice.

After all, who could ever be friends with a monster?

But when the winds of change threaten to take this special time away from him, Spike is forced to make a difficult decision.

And as Spike soon discovers, it's a choice best made with the help of some friends.

Sun comes down, Moon goes up. Moon is lowered, Sun is raised. Ever since Discord was originally defeated, that has been the pattern, the heart of stability for life in Equestria, a celestial sign that ponies retain the helm.

But Luna remembers what life was like before, and the shards of beauty which could be found in chaos.

With the second anniversary of the Return approaching along with the associated holiday, Celestia wants to know if there's anything Luna would like to do in marking the occasion. And all Luna wants -- is an eclipse.

Other than Celestia and Luna, nopony has seen an eclipse in more than a thousand years.

This could be a problem.

(This story takes place along the general Triptych timeline, several moons before Luna's Lottery Lunacy.)

"All my life, I've wanted to fly
But I don't have the wings, and I wonder why
I can't break away..."
Most pegasi figure out flying easily enough. Heck, most of them figure out how to do it before they even get their cutie marks.

But not me. I couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t even hover. Not for more than a few seconds, anyway. And not even Rainbow Dash, the greatest flier in Equestria, could seem to help me. We tried everything, and I failed every time. Day after day, I tried – and day after day, I failed, until finally I was ready to just give up. I’d never be able to do it. Nopony would ever be able to help me to fly...

...until one day, somepony did.
