If Rarity saved half her meals to feed to the fairies so she could stay pretty, Sweetie Belle wasn't going to argue. Rarity was always right, after all.

CW: Eating disorders, anorexia specifically. Hopeful/happy ending, I promise.

Thank you to Snow Quill for prereading!

Something went wrong with this year's cider.

When ponies say they'll do anything to achieve some goal, they rarely mean it. Morals, ethics, common sense, physical limitations, something will stand between them and true, full commitment to fulfilling the task ahead of them.

A mare raised from foalhood by Equestria's last true alicorn is not so limited. Even methods that alicorn hesitates to use are fair game as far as she's concerned.

Misty is about to make her mentor either very proud or very angry. Possibly both.

A belated G5 Halloween tale written when inspiration struck.

This story is a sequel to The Princess' Vanishing Spider

Rarity has a plan, as flawless and beautiful and perfect as she is: The sovereign Mi Amore Cadenza has planned a visit, and with it an opportunity to capture her heart. There’s only one small problem with this plan.

They share a taste in bodyguards.

Part of the Bodyguard!AU series.

This ficlet was written as part of the Omega tier reward in my Ko-fi where I write stories based on prompts from supporters!

Imagine a world where the laws of physics have been flipped. Everything you've ever known is completely different. In this world is another you. But what would you think if this other version of you had a better life? An easier life? Would you want to go home? Would you be mad?

This is a more talkative-fic, and less focused on story. I thought it be cool to try and fill in a bunch of holes that kids cartoons tend to leave. I don't expect story writers to explain every little detail about a cartoon. That's where I come in, though, so it's a win-win.

Pinkie needs donations for the local crisis hotline center. Rainbow needs to practice her guitar. With their powers combined, they’re going to make sure the local crisis hotline center has a rocking pastry-filled holiday.

Spiritual sequel to The Choices We Make???

In the dreary city of Canterlot, all that remains of a once-mighty Equestria, Rarity is restless. She's a skilled machinist, owner of her own repair shop, but the work is dull and lifeless. She longs to feel like she's important, like she's making a difference, like she could be somepony.

And with the griffon army continually threatening Equestria's security, there's no better way to contribute than to join the Royal Canterlot Army. They're always on the lookout for skilled engineers, and with her talent, it's not like they'd make her actually fight anypony... right?

This story is a prequel to Lover of the Moon, but they can be read in any order. Originally written for the first Quills and Sofas Expanding Universes contest, where it won first place.

Many thanks to Silent for creating such a fun universe to play in, and for inspiring this story. This story is posted with their permission.

Twilight Sparkle is sure that Rarity and Rainbow Dash are having relationship issues, primarily because they keep inviting her to join them on all their romantic dates.

Maudie Pie can't get over her younger sister's colorless coltfriend. Even more worrisome is this isn't the first divide between herself and stoic little Pinkamena.

Is Maudie out of touch? Or is her flighty anxiety just acting up again? The best advice would come from a theoretical pony who thinks like Mena but acts like Maudie.

Good thing some sisterly bonds can hop between realities.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

This story is a sequel to Our Illusion

A boring night takes a turn when Princess Rarity keeps screaming for help dealing with an eight-legged intruder who keeps conveniently disappearing when Twilight actually gets there.
