She has always been so stunning, my dear Fleur. Her quiet, polite demeanor and loyal attributes have made her my best yet. Her appearance has always managed to get some jealous stallions to double-take our arrival in the streets... Oh, age has not been kind to me, and I dread to think of when it will hit her. Alas, nothing lasts forever, I suppose.

Ponyville finds itself caught in the midst of a massive storm, like nothing most of its residents have ever seen. Unable to contact anypony other than Celestia, who seems to be MIA, the local Pegasi need to solve the problem themselves, and, perhaps more importantly, find out why Cloudsdale would allow such a disaster to occur. Contains some light blood, but not enough to justify categorizing it as gore.

The Doc says I should start a journal. It'll help me quit smoking, he says. Well, it's a new year, I might as well start a new habit, right? What's the worst that could happen?

WARNING! Contains psychiatric abuse, a mention of a suicide attempt, a mention of an attempted rape, self-injury, foul language, and *gasp* MILD SHIPPING!

After a strange awakening, a concerning shower, and a rough scrubbing with a loofah, Twilight Sparkle finds herself with a new palette of colors. And she thinks she knows who’s responsible…

So this red and black alicorn fic got accepted into Twilight’s Library on 8/30/2014. Madness, I say.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie don't mind looking up to see Fluttershy flying in the sky,
or knowing that Rainbow Dash can rest on soft, fluffy, comfortable pillows while they can't,
or seeing bright, flashing lights that blind and burn their eyes when Twilight perform spells,
or knowing that Rarity can carry things and teleport without lifting a hoof while THEY need to lift THEIR hooves to do that.
Nope, they don't mind knowing that they can't do those things. Not one bit.

But when Discord get's rid of their friend's wings and horns before they head into a maze, and he doesn't take ANYTHING away from them, and their friends freak out, knowing they can't do those things now.
The two earth ponies start realizing some things.
Some very, VERY, VERY interesting things.

On the night of the Grand Galloping Gala, Thunderlane couldn't be more annoyed. Dragged to the gala by his CO, he's content to be bitter and moody the whole time. But when he hears a soft melody played by a certain mare, he's intrigued enough to introduce himself to this "Octavia."

She's a nice mare. Sweet and polite, but with what she calls "a roommate complex." Now what could she mean by that?

Going to clubs may seem rather odd for you, but you find enjoyment from it because of a certain DJ. You get the chance to meet her after a show, but would she ever feel anything for somepony with your condition?

============

More experimenting than anything. This was both a challenge and fun to do. Big thanks to slashe720 and Mustank for helping me with this story.

Some ponies never grow out of old habits. Unfortunately for Diamond Tiara, she's one of them. It's one thing to do something as a foal, but everyone comes to a point where they stop putting up with it. Tonight, Diamond learns that lesson, unfortunately, it's not a lesson she'll learn the easy way.

After her sister and the crusaders have yet another accident, Applejack finds herself helping out with Town Hall repairs instead of celebrating the night before Hearts and Hooves Day with her family. Nothing but tough, hard, pointless work for the day. All while her family enjoys the festivities without her. Turns out she's not the only one missing out...

She already sees Mayor Mare on a regular basis, why not just invite her over?

Preread by The Albinocorn. He writes much better stories than me...

Lightning bolt is a unicorn, bachelor, and university student. Everything seems to be going his way but one day after meeting a mare in class with an interest in his past, they go on a investigation, one that might just bring them closer together, but will change their lives forever .

This was a rather simple story made at the advice of a certain Lord Ershwin Wholewheat. He said he was impressed with my work on my other story and wanted to see how well I could handle making this sequel to The "DASH"ing story. Unfortunately, that story gave me very little to work with, so I had to entirely re-imagine everything. I would have loved to have gotten this out earlier, but I've been so busy that this had to take a bit of a back seat.

I suppose I'm just glad there isn't a legitimate sequel to it already. That would be pretty awkward.
