Trixie's not having a good year. The show's not earning enough, she's wound up in the backwaters of the pony lands, and soon she'll be kidnapped and put on trial by wild foals. Still, one does not give up when one is the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Inspired by, but not a contestant for, Manaphy's Unsung Heroes Writing Contest.

Please Note: This is a story in progress. The Mare in the Magic Hat was initially written as part of Calming Moon's National Pony Writing Month 2017. Final version may be very different.

Sometimes, all we need to cheer us up is a little bit of Hearth's Warming Magic... and maybe a loyal marefriend to snuggle up to. (Twixie pairing)

Heavily inspired by RarityEQM's Home. Give her a shout, will you?

(Title totally not a reference to the Supertramp song of the same name.)

The Great and Powerful Trixie has had a longstanding and not entirely one sided rivalry with the magical duo Magic Penn and Fortune Teller, who take every opportunity to rub her nose in the fact that they're well known and successful with headline shows, and she's a traveling performer.

Trixie has been invited to perform at the Millenial celebration of one of Starswirl the Bearded's greatest achievements, and they're well set to reduce her to a one line note in the society pages with their Canterlot Royal Playhouse performance the same night. What's worse, Twilight is involved in the Starswirl celebration, and she knows one of Trixie's darkest secrets. Now it's Twilight Trixie has to please to get a chance at, if not fame and fortune, at least honor and pride. Some Twi x Trixie.

Written for a 30 minute challenge. Okay, okay, so it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes, but is that really a reason to make a Nugar Rule setting word limits on 30 minute challenges? You know you're awesome when people make up entirely new rules simply to prevent you from doing that thing you just did.

Trixie wasn't sure if it was when she purchased that artifact with her last bit, or when she found herself wandering into a ruined shrine in the woods that she first went astray, but astray she certainly had gone. And now she was standing under an alien sky, empty of Luna's moon, or Celestia's sun.

Trixie was afraid that if she was not the guest of this dark and monstrous lord, she would find herself something much, much worse.

So it it was showtime. Time to earn her keep, her welcome. Because she'd rather be a guest to lunch, than the first course at dinner.

Though she might not want to admit it, it had been too long since she had a captive audience.

And who could be more captive than a Lord of Shadows entombed in a half-tartarus doom-world?

This story is a sequel to Chasing Shadows

The notorious Kaitou Moon is all the rage in Canterlot these days, and Sunset Shimmer is determined to bring this thief to their knees! She's not the only one, though; the FBI are also on this thief's case, and it seems that the phantom thief may have also caught the attention of another, more mysterious foe.

Starlight Glimmer takes Trixie for a stroll through the human world.

Starlight graduated her friendship lessons months ago. While she’s still welcome in the castle, she feels tethered there. Meanwhile, her best friend travels throughout Equestria, bringing back trinkets and tales alike. Starlight wants in on the experience.

A birthday present for Famous Last Words. Enjoy mate!

Lying awake in bed, Twilight writes down her thoughts and feelings about somepony special to her.

Contains: Twixie/hints of poetry/derpy pony daws/one stupid joke

Ever since her eventful encounter with Twilight Sparkle a while ago, Trixie hopes to reclaim some happiness and glory despite her growth as a pony. While nothing awful happened to her since she last left Ponyville, Trixie consistently wonders if there's something better out there for her that could solve her woes. Much to her luck, an ancient and valuable treasure might be her ticket to happiness.

However, her journey is far from effortless.

Upon encountering a group known as the Golden Guild during her travels, Trixie reluctantly agrees to join their ranks as they hunt down the legendary Talon's Crown. And as it turns out, Trixie's allies are stranger than she could've ever predicted.
