When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

This story is a sequel to The Plot Before Christmas

In the same universe as The Plot Before Christmas...

Whilst cooking lunch for her human one day, Pinkie accidentally unleashes something that—once again—puts Ponyville in peril. Will she, her friends, their human Ryan as well as their friends Darkness Shade and Thunder Fire of the Bottom of the Plot detective agency be able to stop this spicy menace and save their home?

...p-probably. Ah mean, it's just a giant taco...how hard could it be to take down something like that?
...harder than you'd think.

My name is Octavia Harmonious Melody, and I am mentally deranged… No no, I assure you, I'm quite serious. For the past three years I have lived with a voice inside my head, a crazed, lunatic of a voice, who I, through the displeasure of living with for the past three years, have come to almost befriend...

Almost.

Now my childhood friend-turned-enemy, Vinyl Scratch, is inviting me to further my musical prowess by living under the same roof as her, and as much as I can barely stand the sight of her, she represents what may be my last chance at closure and sanity. The irony of which being that I'm sure she's already insane, if not pushing me towards it.
Although, to her credit, she's a nice enough mare, maybe if I could stop the voice in my head for a minute we could grow to become friends again…
...it isn't a sin to dream, is it?

Chrysalis kidnaps Rainbow Dash and holds her for ransom.

This same Rainbow Dash also happens to be engaged to the immensely powerful Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Chrysalis is not a very smart changeling.

Life is full of surprises. That is a known fact. However, you always expect some kind of minor surprise, like your train arriving a little too late, or your ice-cream having vanilla taste rather than strawberry. But sometimes, life will give you surprises you could never predict. For Fluttershy, it was three little foals. But not her own foals, or even orphans. Three little foals that used to be her and her friends' most fearsome and dreaded foes.

Sombra, Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon.

Will Fluttershy's nerves survive this onslaught of misadventures? Will she keep the three villains hidden? Will she even become friends with them? Why do I sound like a narrator to a bad criminal drama? Don't think or try to answer those questions, just go ahead and read!

The story itself got proudly rejected by EqD!

Inspired by her sister's collection of letters on friendship, Princess Luna decides to start a collection of her own. She puts the call out through all of Equestria, asking for her subjects' help in collecting the lore of the land. Myths, legends, history, everything dreams are made of, all of it is welcome in her new library.

The first collaboration of The Library of Trivial Lore and Other Things.

Discord just can't take it any longer. He can't help it, he was born chaotic. No amount of reforming could change that. He decides it is time to take back the land.

Inspiration came from the song Entropy by AwkwardMarina

I'm officially cancelling this story. I can no longer agree with the message it was originally sending, and do not have the time or desire to alter it into something that I could finish.

By now you've heard of Pinkie Pie. You have heard appalling things. I tell you this - She was a friend... and she was a seeker of Happiness. Of Laughter. The experiments... They were all part of her search for those things. All for the Element of Laughter. The elements of good and evil, which are inherent in every personality.

She became a brilliant pony. But she became a monster.

Crossover of Jekyll and Hyde - now with original songs!
Slight AU tag for a change of the Mirror Pool legend

The Doctor is fascinated by this strange new species of ponies in this strange new world of Equestria. He wants to learn everything he can about them. You can't blame him for wanting to know how pegasus wings work, but you'd think someone his age would understand personal space.
Fortunately for him, Ditzy is very patient and understanding of his antics. Any other pegasus probably would have bucked him in the face for touching their wings without asking.

T for some suggestive humor. First-person, Ditzy's POV. Cover art is mine.
Not romance-heavy, but there's probably just enough to warrant the tag.

The changelings are finally gone, and Derpy and The Doctor decide to go and celebrate, so they decide to go to one of the Doctor's favorite bars. Derpy is shocked by the multitudes and long range of extraterrestrial creatures dining and drinking casually, and as soon as the Doctor orders a special drink for the both of them, Derpy gets hooked. Snuggles at the end.
