On the longest day of the thousandth year, only Twilight Sparkle really knew what she was getting into. That didn't stop five mares she'd met less than a day before from insisting on tagging along. They'd all go on to be heroes, but it's not like they knew that at the time. What went through their minds on that dark summer morning?

Starlight cuddles Trixie as the sun comes up. That's it. That's the whole story.

...Well, mostly.

In an unfortunate work accident, Calamus--a weather pegasus--has lost his hearing. His lifelong friend Syrinx volunteers to teach him Pegasus Sign Language, and in the process the two learn more about each other than either expected.

Special thanks to SunlightRays, Emotion Nexus, Nitro Indigo, and the lovely Holtinater for editing assistance, Mushroom for prereading, and the rest of the Quills and Sofa's server for help on all the little details.

It's been almost twenty years since Sunburst last spent the night at Starlight's home. Much has changed since then. If it weren't for her other friends finding a way for them to reconnect, Starlight might have truly lost her first friend. While she looks back fondly on their friendship as foals, Sunburst doesn't even seem to like talking about that time in their lives, much less revisiting it.

When Starlight approaches Sunburst the night before he returns to the Crystal Empire, she inadvertently discovers something about her old friend that might explain it all.

Inspired by a scene from Uncommon Bond. Story takes place towards the end of the episode.

Thanks to Ice Star for proofreading.

Another one of Pinkie's parties is winding down, and Dash sits alone in the corner. She feels another knot tightening in her chest, clenching harder by the second. She just can't seem to make it go away, not alone.

Expanded from an entry into one of the Quills and Sofa Speedwriting group's contests, with the prompt "Spurred to Action"

Thanks to Zontan and Petrichord for some proofreading and feedback.

When Ponyville's pegasi suddenly bolt from the skies, Fluttershy endeavors to uncover the reason why.

This story was written for the Barcast's Halloween in April story contest.

Pegasi aren't the only intelligent species which can fly, and the Wonderbolts recognize that. There is no racial restriction placed on the open tryout sessions and over the centuries, the team has had a few unusual members. They have proven methods of working with griffons, self-levitating unicorns -- anything known to get in the air might find their place.

However, it's probably safe to say nopony was expecting a minotaur-sized duck.

Despite an increase in revolts and resistance, Daybreaker rules Equestria with an iron hoof. But for some reason, this granny on an apple orchard keeps subverting her rule and convincing guards to leave the farm unharmed. Daybreaker might have to show up and deal with this herself.

This story is a sequel to First Day Of My Life

It's Christmas Eve and Sunset Shimmer is spending her very first Christmas with Wallflower Blush as her girlfriend, but no matter what she does, Sunset can't make money appear out of thin air, and as much as she wants to get Wallflower something nice, all she can do is hope that she'll be happy with something thoughtful.

Not a Jinglemas gift, but still written for Scampy.
A Happy Hearth's Warming to you.

A Sunflower Christmas Special set between First Day Of My Life and Something Vague.

Every year, Dinky is part of a big Hearth’s Warming gathering, and this year she impulsively decided to invite Lily Longsocks, her fillyfriend. Of course Derpy says yes; the more ponies, the merrier.

The only problem is, Dinky hasn’t mentioned that she and Lily are more than just friends, and she’s worried what Derpy might think.
