Twilight is just going about her business when she comes across Owen Jones, local human.

His circumstances contrive to make her day unusual and tiresome.

Unaware of how his image and name have been used, the real Grogar returns to his lair after a long vacation. Naturally, he's not exactly pleased to find out what's been happening while he was gone.

To a ground-bound pony, a cloud is a collection of rain that hasn’t fallen yet. To Rainbow Dash, it's so much more. It's a place to nap, a launchpad into her mind, and depending on the company, a point of grievous contention.

There were few things that brought Rainbow more joy than being able to practise some of her awesome flying skills in front of an audience, and today it was Rarity's turn to sit and watch in awe as she ruled the skies. But after landing, and joining the latter for some afternoon tea, Rainbow reveals to Rarity a concern she's had for some time.

An astute (oblivious) Rainbow Dash spends her days working, lounging, and hanging out with her best, completely platonic, in no way pining, 20% tsundere sis, Anon.

This story takes place in an AU called RGRE (Reversed Gender Role Equestria).

After hearing her friends are in the hospital Twilight races in fearing the worst but instead finds something wonderful.

Sunset's in trouble and we need Princess Twilight's help.  We've been calling her with Sunset's magic journal since yesterday but there's been no reply.

Looks like we're going to have to go through the portal and find her ourselves.

After all, it's a magical land of cute, colorful ponies.  This should be easy.

Right?

Following abject defeat, a certain amount of listlessness is to be expected.

Some Storm Guard settled down, tried to build new lives. Others took the chance to go back home in an effort to pick up the pieces of what they had.

One, who hasn't quite decided what he wants to do yet, vists one who most decidedly has.

And what he wants to do is bake.

Paul Zagranski is the best negotiator on Earth. He has ended wars and brokered deals between nations. But now, as humans and ponies prepare to seal the greatest trade pact ever between their dimensions, all of humanity is relying on him. We are willing to offer all our technology, our weapons, our science, every book ever written, every song ever sung and every movie ever screened, all of it in order to have what only the ponies can give.

Ear scritches. Also mane brushing and braiding. And nose boops.

God speed, Paul. All of Earth is counting on you.

Cammy and Scrim are a husband-and-wife team of window washers in New York City. They’re fast and friendly, and best of all they don’t need ladders or fall arrest gear to do their jobs.
