Many thanks to the amazing Noble Savage for his great cover art. You did perfectly for this one

Turns out that I managed to predict the episode Brotherhooves Social a month and a half in advance! What a crazy coincidence. I guess great minds think alike. Though greater minds did said episode better than this story Either way, I'm still pretty happy with myself for coming up with such a premise.

For the son of a hero and descendant of Starswirl's blood, Blizzard Warning has a lot to live up to. But how in Equestria can somepony be great when their cutie mark only brings problems? The young colt seems to have a knack for casting magic to control natural forces such as the wind, water, fire, and earth, but it always seems to spiral out of control into a literal disaster.

Things have always been manageable because of his father's intervention, but as Blizzard gets older, it has become more apparent to his parents that he must learn to use his talent appropriately. So Blizzard gratefully accepts the opportunity to go to Starswirl Academy as a student to receive the best professional education to help him succeed in life. Maybe along the way he'll learn to make some lasting friends, learn to make good decisions, and find his place in the world and his true potential.

A story about self-discovery and acceptance with the help of friendly guidance.

Rated Teen for light swearing, violence, and possible sexual/romantic themes, just to be safe.

Five years ago, the Free States seceded. Five years ago, the Princesses were taken captive. Five years ago, Equestria embarked on a bloody war that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

For five years, Rainbow Dash has fought to save her friends. For five years, the sun and moon have hung overhead, motionless. For five years, Rainbow has lived in that wan glow, while every day kills her a little bit more. The peace and happiness of her youth are but faded memories, and now she hardly recognizes the town she once called home. A hardened mare, Rainbow knows only pain and suffering...

...until one day, a reminder of what life used to be like lands at her hooves, and gives her something to live for once more.

When an opportunity to find out arises in a dream, it then becomes a question of whether Fleetfoot will regret seeking these answers or not.

Reunions can either be the most wonderful event or a mixed blessing.

For Fleetfoot, it might be the latter.

While on an assignment at the nameless village Starlight Glimmer once oversaw, Fleetfoot encounters her twin sister, Night Glider. While she hopes to reconnect with her, Night Glider is less than enthusiastic at these turn of events. However, Fleetfoot yearns to heal old wounds and bring her closer together with her sister.

Naturally, it won't be simple.

Thanks to Mr Ghostman for pre-reading this story.

It took many long years and far more defeats than he'd care to admit, but at last—at long last—victory was finally within the great Ahuizotl's reach. Absolutely nothing, not even that meddlesome Daring Do, would be able to stand in his way any longer. Yet even with his arch nemesis facing her inevitable demise and the ultimate power literally in his grasp, he can't shake the feeling that he's forgotten about something.

One tiny, crucial detail. Something very important. As in, 'could easily ruin his plans if not attended to' important.

...

Eh, maybe he just left the oven on again.

Rainbow Dash does not have a crush on Soarin'. Sure, she thinks he's a pretty cool stallion, being a Wonderbolt and being an awesome flyer and all. Sure, maybe she catches herself admiring those powerful wings of his and maybe even imagining what it'd feel like to have them rub against her own. Sure, she can't help but try to take a peek at that toned, muscular flank of his, but come on, who hasn't? That doesn't mean she has a crush on the guy.

Rainbow's going to have a harder time deny all that now that she's gone and declared that she can make a pie better tasting than Applejack's, knowing perfectly well of Soarin's love for pie. The fastest way to a stallion's heart is through his stomach, after all. Too bad Rainbow Dash's awesomeness doesn't apply to the kitchen.

With only a week before the big bake sale, Rainbow Dash must learn all she can from an unexpected source. Can Spike help her impress her not-crush, or will the two of them discover something else on their journey to make the perfect pie?

It's finally over. The games, the traps, the taunts, the meddling...it's finally all over.

With his most hated foe finally gone, Ahuizotl does what any good villain would do:

Monologue.

It's a good thing Daring Do is such a good listener.
