Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

She doesn't anymore.

Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.

Celestia just wants to experience one last part of normal pony life. Discord doesn't understand it, but he's willing to go with it.

A short little thing I wrote for Akataja for Jinglemas 2022

Glenda is Stygian's biggest fan in Griffonstone. (Not that there was much competition.)

Set a year or two after Twilight's Coronation and many years before the finale episode. Contains no S9 spoilers.

Note: M-rated sequel, "Beaks and Talons," available here.

Glenda is from the wonderful comic "The Convocation of the Creatures."

Winner of "Most well-written story" in the May Pairings Contest 2021.

Every single sentence this author wrote made the story come to life in a BIG way! I didn't once feel like I was reading a story. I felt like I was experiencing it, like I was right there, in the characters' shoes, feeling what they were feeling, seeing what they were seeing. It also helped me to get a better understanding of each character and love them on a deeper level. For example, let's take one paragraph from the story:
...
This kind of vivid imagery is found throughout the entire story, and the characters' voices help bring out their personality in meaningful ways that help you bond with them, to learn to love them beyond what the comics or cartoon give you. This was a no-brainer as the most well-written story in the contest.

Big thanks to Aragón for help with story structure, Wolfjack for trout en papillote, and  Steel Quill, Krack-Fic Kai, Sledge115, and Nitro Indigo for prereading.

Atom Bit cools off after an intense fight with her big sister.

This story was as a quick one-shot done for REDXBACON. Atom Bit and Pixel Bite belong to her; credit for the cover goes to her as well.

Pear Butter wants to bake a special birthday cake for her husband, one which has been made in the apple household for generations and that she knows he loves, but learns that sometimes things don't go exactly as planned...

For a mare of Rarity's calibre, chances to relax are few and far between. Business, clients, and her boutiques in Ponyville, Canterlot, and Manehattan must always come first.

However, when a new, bold, and daring client walks through her door, she might find a long overdue chance to unwind. Drawn in like a moth to the flame, how could she possibly resist?

After all, even a lady must be allowed to indulge once in a while.

A birthday present for Carapace.

Every time he asks, she refuses - yet she will forever love him, until the stars refuse to sparkle and the sun will no longer shine. How can that be? If she loved him as much as she said, wouldn't she marry him?

...well, perhaps Celestia has a new student in an entirely different lesson.

It seems that Discord will need to learn how to love again.

Tonight, on a very special episode of My Little Pony…

Spike may have finally found someone who can reveal the identity of his parents. But when that someone is Discord, has our little dragon bitten off more than he can chew?

~-Spike jumped up from the couch in excitement. "Then you've actually met them!?"

Somehow, Discord's grin managed to stretch even wider. "Ohhhhhh yes. In fact, I've known your father since the day we were born! And your mother… well let's just say she and I are intimately acquainted…"-~

This story is a sequel to Chrome Hearts

It's been a month since ponykind realized how much one of their elite stood to gain from their fights against the cyberlings. Now they unite to see justice done upon Blueblood, with Sunset and Chrysalis again at center stage. But it is what is around the curtain that'll determine whether it rises on a trial or a tragedy, as there are new schemers at work ready to inflame the tenuous peace between cyberlings and ponies - and it's up to Inspector Sunset to keep those fires from burning all she holds dear.

And an early Merry Chrysmas (misspelling intended) to all reading!

Chewy loves her mother with all her heart, but how can she stand out from the dozens of other love-hungry nymphs? By being the cutest of them all, of course!

Story set after Chrysalis was run out of her former hive.
