Months of torment without end. Months of going to school, fearing each torturous moment. Rarity, broken and afraid, finds solace in a small clearing in a forest near her school. Her bullies do not come for her there.

Until one day they do.

They make their intentions of beating her up quite plain, and when the leader went to attack her... What she did; she didn't mean for it to happen that way, but it happened.

In the main timeline, she killed all three of her tormentors and went on to become a deadly serial killer. Here, one of them escapes, and Rarity is caught right away...

An alternate universe of The Secret Life of Rarity

The phrase "I'm your wing" and variations thereof has been used by pegasi since pre-unification times; particularly those that serve in the military. It means: "I've got your back no matter what." Nowadays, few pegasi rally that cry around like the Wonderbolts do. And no Wonderbolt rallies that cry around quite like Misty Fly does.

Whether she's guiding her partner through a difficult maneuver or helping her comrades overcome personal anxieties, Misty Fly is a pony who puts her team first. Her dedication to being a team player above and beyond the call of duty has earned her nicknames such as "The Ideal Wingpony" and "The Wonderbolts' Unofficial Shrink." She considers these nicknames to be badges of honor, and she does her best to live up to them.

But when a stray thunderbolt puts her out of commission, her self-confidence is shaken. She feels as though she let her team (and by extension, Spitfire) down. And while the pony she admires most is going through a rough patch, she's confined to a bed and unable to do anything about it. For once, she feels weak. For once, she feels useless. For once, she needs somepony to be her wing.

Takes place during the events of My Little Investigations: Wonderbolts Under Fire, but has no major spoilers. Rated Teen for some language and suggestive imagery.

Whispers have always plagued Fluttershy's mind. Whispers about death, cruelty and suffering; and how she played a part in it all. After all Nature was rarely kind to the weak and sick. As the weak and sick fed those that weren't. Besides the predators needed to eat too. She was just being kind to them, right? She wasn't being deliberately cruel. Besides those few she helped... Rest, yes rest weren't going to recover. It was kinder to end it quickly and painlessly for them. Wasn't it?

But whispers don't always stay whispers...

The Cutie Mark Crusaders ask Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy about what happened just after the events of the Cutie Mark Chronicles; specifically, what happened to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash immediately after the race. Reluctantly, Dash and Fluttershy delve into a tale. A tale of a young Fluttershy's amazement at the world she had landed upon, and a filly Dash's desperate quest to save her from that most evil of places: THE GROUND.

Hopes. Dreams. Aspirations. They're what everyone survives, and even thrives, on. What happens, then, when hopes and dreams are dashed? When something so monumentally destructive and life-changing occurs, and dreams, hopes, even ponies' lives are thrown into turmoil, where can solace be found? When somepony's entire world comes crumbling around them, who can they turn to for support? What can they do when everything they once had is shattered?

Darkness: 1st place in /fic/'s "What Lies Beneath" minific competition. Luna searches for the force that will grant her the power to overshadow her sister, but soon discovers that the Darkness is not hers to master. The same is not true for the Darkness.

A Deal to Last a Lifetime: 3rd place in /fic/'s "The Price of a Dream" minific competition. Scootaloo getting to live with her idol is only a signature on a blank cheque away. According to Section 50, Clause 153, Subclause 3, the price of gaining a dream is losing another, but none can match up to that... right?

Spikes and Stones: 3rd place in /fic/'s "My First New Years Alone" competition. A dragon must consume a wyrmstone before they can truly reach their potential, and the best way to do so is to rip it from the heart of a golem. Such is easier said than done, as a young and brash Spike quickly learns, but with time and experience not even a stone-hewn monolith can survive the trial of fang and fire.

A short tale of two ponies and how music brought them together.

You may never have heard of him, but Dr. Caballeron is one of the most infamous treasure hunters in the world. As a pony whose whole purpose in life is to loot ancient artifacts for bits, you would assume he is an arrogant, prideful and smug pony who you would love to buck in the face; and you'd be mostly right.

Still, even a pony like that can swallow his pride when he needs help, and there is nopony he can trust more than his former partner, Ms. Daring Do.

Shortly after having messed with Twilight and Cadence, Discord has gotten a bad case of the...well there is no name for it. But he knows that only one mare will take care of him. Fluttershy had just returned from her little trip and the Draconequs has decided she needed a little bump in her life.

This was written to be submitted to Equestria Daily. It has some spoilers from S4 so please be careful not to spoil it for yourself. This is my first Comedy fanfic so please give postive criticism.

Fluttershy is unable to make it to her job foalsitting Diamond Tiara when Angel contracts the flu, and asks Discord to take her place while she takes care of him. And when the God of Chaos and a complete spoiled brat of a filly are under the same roof, the two are bound to get into quite a few...disagreements.
