The Empire is starting to see a little more tourist traffic. The tourists, however, are having trouble seeing anything. When every native surface in the nation offers a choice of 'reflective or refractive?' -- well, it's rather easy to spend their entire vacation stumbling into buildings, usually right next to the door.

Cadance is working on the problem. But she can only treat the walls. The crystal ponies aren't going to cover themselves... unless a certain designer can get them interested in the foreign concept of 'clothing'.

It's a challenge fit for an artist!
Or a madmare.
When you hire Rarity, you usually get both.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

When you have an accident-prone filly, you make her wear a helmet.
When you have an accident-prone filly who is incapable of feeling pain, you keep the hospital on speed dial.
When you have an accident-prone filly who is incapable of feeling pain and you have no insurance because you’re self-employed, you learn to take care of things yourself.

Because that’s what sisters do.

An entry for Bicyclette's 1000 words contest (group / info) in the "Grim" category.

The Celestial Era has lasted for hundreds of blissful, peaceful years. The Glorious Sun rules all, sees all, knows all. The citizens of Equestria are happy, perfect specimens- because they have no other choice, nor would they want it to be otherwise. A young mare, Twilight Sparkle, finds a small, unexpected, inquisitive spark leading her to ask questions. Difficult questions. Questions to which she will not like the answers.

For The Sun Rises, but The Sun Never Sets.

A noblestallion learns a valuable lesson about not judging a mare by her origins.

Inspired by Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boy" and me wondering what kind of fics I would have written when I was 15 if I'd been into fanfic at the time.

Custom Tag: [First Person Zecora]

When Zecora is asked to show cosmetics from her herbal collection,
She finds herself in the middle of an elaborate misdirection.
Caught in the struggle to thwart a changeling plot,
She must find a way to help guard Canterlot.

It was a normal day. As normal as Celestia shuffling her off to some backwater town in the middle of the morning could be. Spike was yammering, ponies were getting on her nerves, the coming celebration that night was weighing on her mind. And then she'd gone to the town hall to meet with Rarity. They were greeted by somepony's daughter and Spike hadn't said a word since. Not when the filly talked to him for over an hour. Not when the pegasi with the birds was asking all sorts of questions on his health. What on earth had gotten into him?

AU starting at S1E1. Stories set in this continuity;
Alewhine's Gun (After Schoolmates)
The Brothers

Fluttershy wakes up to the sound of birdsong and the sight of a beautiful day. She's going to go to the spa with Rarity. But Angel Bunny is missing, and there are ponies with scars who were healthy yesterday. Fluttershy can't put her hoof on it, but something isn't quite right.

An extended entry for the Quills and Sofas 'Sensational Sci-fi contest'. First half was written in an hour, the other half in about 2 hours.

Very few ponies knew Rarity well, but not even her friends knew her true nature.

Until now.

I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz.

In the innocent city of Canterlot, two little girls grew up together. 

In the lonely city of Canterlot, one had to leave. 

In the beautiful city of Canterlot, two best friends reconnect.

In the dangerous city of Canterlot, a once unshakeable bond is tested.
 

Written for the fabulous Dawn!

Heavily inspired by Monochromatic’s story Crimson Lips, though this story is in no way intended to be canon to that one. Think of this as an AU of an AU. 

Rated T and tagged sex for discussion of sex work and adult topics, similar to Crimson Lips.

Thanks so much to Novelle Tale and n3k1dsk1llz for proofreading/editing and a big thanks to Mono for inspiring this story.

Blitzo the Imp never intended to show up in a world of ponies. He still has to find a birthday present for his lover, Stolas the Prince of Hell. How will he do this? Who will help him? Can an Imp blend in with a city as diverse as Ponyville?
Hopefully Pinkie Pie can help her new demonic friend.
Blitzo and Stolas are from the Youtube cartoon series "Helluva Boss".

Rated Teen due to mentioning of alternate lifestyles and gay male shipping.
This got into the Featured box on 1/6/22! Thanks, guys and gals!
