Due to a typo on her permit to build a new barn, and the meddling of a recalcitrant bureaucrat, Applejack is stuck running a bar, at least until Mayor Mare gets back to town. So sit down and have a drink in Ponyville's least likely watering hole!

A normal day was all it took.
A simple failed prototype, a missed experiment.
There was an explosion, and I woke up. I don't really know what happened between those two events, but I'm fairly certain I shouldn't have awoken in a small, dark box.

I'm scared.

After the student body of Canterlot High is swayed by yet another surprise musical number during lunch, Sunset Shimmer muses the students are easily influenced by songs at this time. Pinkie quickly comes up with a song of her own.

Sunset Shimmer considers this a high point of her week.

When Twilight left, Sunset forgot to ask how Princess Celestia was doing. Seeing as she will not get an answer, the former student to the Solar Goddess attempts to move on and live life as a student to Princess Twilight.

One night, while Sunset drifts further into her dreams, she is visited by none other than the guardian of dreams: Princess Luna of Everfree. This will only end one way, and that way is completely opposite of what Sunset had been expecting. Takes place directly after Rainbow Rocks.

If you asked Big Macintosh what he liked about a pony there would be very little about Vinyl Scratch that would fit the bill. That's probably why he doesn't really like her. You might even say he detested her.

Then again, he hardly knows her.
Nothing that a bit of forced confinement can't fix.

Written for the Straight Shipping group 'A disagreement of sorts' competition. Yes, I couldn't think of a better name, sue me. Also written on a very random prompt from a friend who sarcastically said 'I ship it' when he saw a picture of Big Mac and Vinyl somewhere vaguely near each other.

Principal Celestia hates the mornings. She makes it through the start of her day with a nice cup o' joe. But what happens when Canterlot City has no coffee whatsoever? Calamity ensues in the form of chatty baristas, blindfolded Sirens, and students who refuse to understand that there are not to be electronics on school grounds!

Part of the Coffee Trilogy, which also includes: Sweet Sixteen (Thousand) and Pinkie and the Bear-Monkey

In the aftermath of the Fall Formal, Sunset Shimmer has fallen. Her power in Canterlot High is gone, and she's been exposed for the monster that she is. With nowhere else to go and nothing she can do, she retreats to where she's hidden herself since arriving in the human world, a realm that links Canterlot High and Equestria. But she isn't the only one to know about this realm, on either side, and perhaps with a little help from her new friends and her old mentor, she can find it in her to rise again.

Thanks to Applebloom and her recklessness, Big Mac has a date with Cheerilee on Hearts And Hooves Day. However, he has no idea of what to do and he's worried about the upcoming date. So he and Applejack go around to ask their friends for some advice. Is this even a good idea?

Written for Hearts and Hooves Day 2015.

Due to an editing/publishing error, all of Twilight's friends have now 'officially' died of old age. This leaves an immortal Twilight to grieve over the tragedy of how she outlived all of her friends and will continue to do so for the rest of her eternal life.

Seeing the obvious pain that this news is having on Twilight, Princess Celestia moves to console her with the help of her supposedly-but-actually-not-really-deceased friends.
