Princess Celestia has lived for 4 billion years. Her children have left their cradle, and Equis sits nearly abandoned. She must perform her duty one last time.

My entry for, and winner of, /mlp/'s 2023 Pastejam. The first and last lines were set by Aftercase, but other than that, we were given free rein to write whatever. This was an attempt to write using only the absolute minimum number of words allowed for the prompt. Sadly, that's 300 words too few, so this is the extended edition to get it onto Fimfic.

A pony and a human discover that the veil separating their worlds is... nothing more than an old shower curtain?

One night, whilst up late reading quietly to himself, Anon is disturbed by a mysterious home intruder scratching at his door. Anon does the unconventional and simply lets them into his house and becomes quite possibly the first person to ever sit down and make polite conversation with an actual ghost. A rather cute and flustered ghost at that.

Originally written for the Kinderquestria thread, where the cute, childlike innocence of ponies is taken to its absolute comedic extent.

You didn't really think it would come to this.

Starlight Glimmer confronts you one evening after she catches you in the act. It's not an easy thing to swallow, considering that you two had just begun your relationship with each other. But like any good partner should, Starlight tries her best to connect with you in a way that would enable her to better understand your position on the matter.

Trigger Warning: Themes of suicide and self-harm, mentions of blood

Based on the Equestria at War universe and a look at what could have been. An alternate sequel to Indefinite Infiltration

In the year 1014 ALB, Canterlot has fallen after years of long and hard fighting against the changeling forces. The Equestrian defenses were torn asunder from the inside through the efforts of Chrysalis' infiltrators corps and a certain changeling infiltrator sits atop a truck and remembers what was.

2023 Edit: Special thanks to my good friend Witchery for editing!

As well as TheEightDayofNight for the first review back when this was first posted. Tremendously sorry about forgetting to credit you.

The Equestrian Space Agency, or ESA, has finally sent their fourth scientific mission to the moon to study lunar geology and gain a greater understanding of their stellar neighbor. For Orion Zephyr, it is his first mission beyond low orbit of Equis, and while he's excited for his journey to the stars, he, along with his crewmates, are unaware of what truly hides beneath the lunar surface. As they set down and begin their duties, the crew of the Luna 4 come to realize; something else is still up here.

Love is shared, Thorax and the changelings are freed, Chrysalis is defeated, and alls well that ends well. But Twilight isn't Celestia. An escaping villain should be chased down. In pursuit of chrysalis however, Twilight is surprised to uncover the truth of who the queen really is, and learns a little of the truth of politics in the process.

A personal twist on the season 6 finale, inspired by watching said finale, listening to my brother complain about it, and pondering how I would have structured the story differently. Less a "Fix" and more a "what would I do if I ran the zoo?"

WARNING: This story contains violence. See spoiler black bar for details.
Violence, including: loss of limb, decapitation, use of bladed weapons, burns, mentions of blood
Book VII- The Final Installment.

Individuals of those within and without Equestria, stolen away without warning. Not just ponies, but a griffin, a dragon and a buffalo. But why these beings? What is twisted alicorn's plan for them? Whatever it is, the Wielders of the Elements of Harmony will stop him, as they have every other threat.
But will that be enough this time? Will they all survive and for those who do, how will it change them? Will they all live to see the colours that come out, when Dusk falls?

Eric, easygoing local human, is winding down for the night when he receives an unexpected visitor.

He is a good host to them.

This I know: cold feet and a lousy day at work and hunger can all be solved by cuddling a pony in front of a fireplace.
