Shining Armor is a busy stallion. He has a whole empire to look after. A child to care for. A wife to love. Ponies to protect, and keep safe.
He doesn't have time for this, when approached by the enemy confronting him with the facade of truths and lies we tell ourselves.

Time: After Times They Are A Changeling.

Many years after her dethronement, Chrysalis has returned to her kingdom, but not in the way her people had secretly feared. Chrysalis appears to have changed the same way the others have, although some believe she is using her shapeshifting powers to do so, something that is believed impossible. While Thorax is willing to give her a chance to prove she's changed, Pharynx is not convinced of her reform. The King of Changelings calls his closest friend Spike in order to aid him, but will that be enough? And has Chrysalis truly reformed?

This story is a sequel to The Dragon Lord's Consort

Spike awakens nearly a year later. But much has happened in his sleep and absence. A threat is building in Equestria and it may tear at the relationships between Dragon and Pony. Spike's future is undetermined, with a role he has yet to accept and a struggle over his destiny, between the family he grew up with or the family he needed. With time, he may not be the same as he was before and what the changes that have manifested with him, may hold.

After losing her hive, Queen Chrysalis is forced to start another one. Luckily she has the help of a few loyal subjects who never accepted their fellow changelings new way of life. They must stay hidden from enemies, collect enough food to survive and rebuild their strength. Now the first brood has hatched and there is something very different about one of the larva.

Starlight decided not to skip out on Twilight's tea with Princess Celestia, Trixie does not take it well and lets it slip her intentions.

After another failed attempt at a good deed, Starlight Glimmer is at the end of her rope. She feels like she's falling apart, and that she'll never be the pony her friends want her to be. Worse than that, she's beginning to wonder why they're all so nice to her. Are they really her friends or is she actually... a problem that they think needs fixing?
Maybe she'd be better off trying to fix herself. Alone.

Warning: Contains sads, and is meant to take place shortly after Starlight first moves to Ponyville.

Done as a commission for interrobang_, who wanted some good old fashioned emotional angst.

Thorax is still getting used to living among ponies. They do so many strange and yet somehow wonderful and amazing things! Not so amazing, though, is his brother Pharynx's discovery that Thorax has been disobeying his orders and living openly among ponies. Desperate to avoid being dragged back to the hive as a traitor, Thorax lies, insisting he's only been pretending to gain the trust of these ponies so he can betray them and avenge Chrysalis. Now, somehow, he has to make that lie seem true, and things will definitely not go according to plan when he tries, even with the help of his new pony friends.

(A commissioned story.)

Coriander Cumin and his daughter, Saffron Masala, are struggling with their restaurant. Business had been good and the reviews had been good, all except for one.

Esteemed food critic, Last Word, gave their restaurant a very scathing review. It was a crushing blow to their image as mob mentality settled in and less ponies frequented the establishment.

They need help keeping it open, so they turn to the only stallion they can think of that could be of any assistance, Tirek's Kitchen owner, Gordon Ramsay.

Will he be able to help them or is it a lost cause? Read and find out.

We all know what happened at the mirror pond: Pinkie Pie cloned herself to spend more time with her friends, things got out of hand, and Twilight weeded out the real Pinkie and sent all the clones back...or, almost all of them. One clone was different, and decided to sneak away while the pandemonium ensued. She went on a journey to Manehattan to try to start a new life for herself. This is her story, from her point of view.

This is the epic journey and fight between two enemies. Two souls, fighting to the death, and willing to do anything to come out alive. Chrysalis and Starlight both know this. Both know that one of them won't be walking away from the battle.

Long ago, an overpowered unicorn mare named Starlight Glimmer did a thing. The Queen of the Changelings didn't like it. Perhaps it could have been settled through simple diplomacy, but arch nemeses never back down.
