13-year-old Parker Mathews is transported to Equestria to learn about friendship with twilight Sparkle, he is going to love it.

During Rainbow Dash's first interaction with her friends' Pony Pet Play-Date, she was determined to get herself a pet. However, the way she went about getting one didn't sit well with one particular pony. Having had enough of the Pegasus and her lack of compassion, Twilight Sparkle makes both a brave and stupid challenge that leaves Dash and the rest of her friends wondering if she had gone insane. However, Twilight was determined to teach Dash a lesson, even if it meant getting humiliated. What fate had in store for the unicorn and Pegasus was not what anypony had expected, especially Twilight and Rainbow themselves.

Rainbow Dash returns to the castle to find it shrouded in darkness and everpony turned to stone. Not long after she hears of a prophecy involving her and 5 other heroes that must battle the lord of the underworld. Leaving on a quest she meets Twilight Sparkle and a cast of both amazing and funny characters. Complete with cowardly pegasi, backstabbing gryphons, cute little dragons, and a growing relationship between two certain ponies.

Inspired by many of the Dragon Quest titles and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Fluttershy is your typical pony. Kind, caring...and lonely. When a new colt comes into town and takes a local Bandmaster job, Fluttershy finds him strangely attractive...

A spinoff of the famous horror movie series SAW. Though some of the traps involved were custom(lolwut), I still had some inspiration from the movie.

(Formerly known as 'The Truth Left Unspoken'). The two have been friends since they were fillies, but recently Rainbow Dash discovers she has romantic feelings for her timid pal. Meanwhile, Fluttershy works on being livelier and more brave in an attempt to impress the mare of her dreams.

Twilight goes down with a sickness known as Hornflu a week before Winter Wrap Up, and is left in the care of Fluttershy. There, she is quarantined until the diesease dies off. However, both are harboring secret feelings towards the other that just refuse to be known. What will come of this and, worse, their unexpected fate?

With only a few hints and a limited store of magic in a world that otherwise lacks magic completely he seeks to know the truth about his family's legends, and his heritage.

This fic was written back before the episode with Iron Will was aired, so expect a few things to be different from what is canon with the show.
This fic was also written back before the 5-character-icon-limit was put into effect, so there may be a few more 'main' characters other than what is listed here.

While the story itself is complete, as readers find errors and point them out to me I'll be going back occasionally to fix them. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. The direct sequel is now in the works, as to the alternate continuation that lost the vote at the end if anyone cares to read it. I may or may not also work on that one from time to time depending on my mood.

[Complete!] When Rainbow Dash crashes into the library one too many times, Twilight ends up becoming her coach for the upcoming Best Young Flier Competition. But Rainbow Dash wants more, and relationships are never as perfect as they seem.
