    (Parody) Kate the college student loves ponies. But unwanted magnetism to her own gender has also made her a bit of a homophobe. Landing smack in the middle of Ponyville, she discovers (to her horror) that she is even more attractive to mares than she is to women. Her mission? Find actual friendship without being shipped. Whether or not she's successful... is entirely up in the air. A fun reversal and satirical poke at HiE tropes with heart to spare. As a small warning, while the story is not particularly explicit, there is quite a bit of innuendo which is played mostly for laughs.

    While out hiking in the mountains near Ponyville, Big Mac discovers a mysterious staff which grants him the power of the ancient god Thor. Old myths awaken, new legends are born, and one simple farm pony is thrust in the middle - as the leader of Celestia's newest crime-fighting force, The Avengers! A fusion fic with Marvel Universe, mostly Avengers.

    Braeburn Apple has always been raised in a conservative household, as a member of the Apple family.

    Throughout his life, he's been taught what's 'wrong' and what's 'right', who he was allowed to love, and who he wasn't. Above all, he was told what to be, and how to be it.

    When he meets a certain blue Pegasus stallion buying pies at Sweet Apple Acres while he just so happens to be staying there, he discovers feelings he never knew he had.

    Unfortunately, they happen to be the same ones he was always taught to suppress.

    Can Soarin convince him that it's not wrong to be in love, and that, sometimes, in order to be happy, you need to break out of your comfort zone?

    A story about discovering who you are, and being that person, no matter what others tell you to be.

    WARNING: M/M, SoarinxBraeburn Coltcuddling! Touches up on some serious social issues in the real world, but with ponies, and at least 20% cooler.

    If you don't like it, please do not read it.

    The Great Gathering, the unimaginatively titled... gathering where characters from all over the known fictional universe come together to share their cultures, ideas, food, or even just to hang out. To the joy of the Mane Six, they have been selected by Celestia to attend this once-in-a-millennium event. Much to their delight, they discover that they can set up food and drink booths. Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy settle on lemonade. Little do they know, a certain group of sparkly vampires have also decided to set up a lemonade stand and the competition gets more out of control than any of them could have possibly imagined.

    When you lose your closest friend, it can cause more damage then anypony ever thought. Discord is no exception to this.

    Vinyl and Octavia have been good friends for a long time. Being roommates, they've had their share of arguments and misunderstandings, but they have overcome. Now that Vinyl has two tickets for a "totally awesome cruise", Octavia just cannot turn down the offer. Too bad that such events are usually connected with free alcohol and, well, Vinyl's attitude towards alcohol leaves much to be desired.

    So, it's totally not strange to wake up on a remote island in the middle of nowhere, with no idea as to how they got there, right?

    /Oh, look, a Vinyl/Tavi story! Again! Rated T for future shipping.

    Princess Luna finds more than a friend in her sister's student, and Twilight Sparkle gets a chance to study the moon and stars far closer than she ever dreamed possible.

    An ongoing series of slice-of-life snapshots. Expect a castle's worth of clop-free d'aaawww.

    Plan C - In which Cadance learns that Celestia is the chessmaster, and that her backup plans are the most fun of all.

    Game, Set, Match - Twilight tries her hoof at arena combat. Victory or defeat, she's sure to end up a winner with this opponent.

    Countdown - Luna swore she'd never do this again, but there's something about that little librarian from Ponyville that tests her resolve.

    Twilight Hustle - Rarity's heard some steamy rumors about Twilight and gathers the girls to dish juicy gossip.

    Every Morning After - Twilight and Luna shared a wonderful, magical night; unfortunately, immortal Princesses sometimes forget about thousand-year-old laws which could ruin the mood ever so slightly.

    Names - Luna's had many more names and titles than "Mare in the Moon", and Twilight discovers which of them meant the most.

    Great Minds Think Alike - Cadance and Celestia's plan for Twilight and Luna comes to a head, slightly off schedule.

    Third Time's the Charm - Twilight's Nightmare Night costumes aren't cutting it. Now Luna's in town, and that may change her opinion on what makes a proper costume.

    THAT Letter - Luna and Twilight have to tell Celestia how serious their relationship has become, and they decide to send a letter. Surely they couldn't disagree about how to make such a simple announcement - could they?

    Early Observances - If you're going to interrupt Celestia's sleep, you'd better have a very good reason.

    Your Turn - Twilight and her friends reveal some personal secrets, and Twilight's is life-changing.

    Trembling Joyful Whispers- The Big Day is here for Twilight and Luna! Hear the congregation's comments as events unfold.

    The Power Vested in Me- The Big Day is here, but Luna and Twilight are so very, very far from ready. Will their fears get the better of them?

    Awkward - Twilight and Shining Armor have dinner with their parents along with Luna and Cadance. They'll probably wish they'd ordered takeout instead.

    Absence - Luna deals with a thousand years of angst all at once; maybe she just needs a gentle helping hoof to make sense of it all.

    You Were There - A quiet night between Luna and Twilight is almost derailed by a lesson in ancient mythology.

    Between Sun and Moon - Luna reads a bedtime story with which she is all too familiar.

    Postcards from the Edge - Twilight leaves to study abroad for three months; in her absence, Luna has a stack of mail to open.

    Insert Princess T into Slot S - Twilight want to be Princess of Something. Careful what you wish for!

    Ups and Downs - Newly-crowned Princess Twilight needs flying lessons. Careful whom you ask!

    Amethyst Throne - Princess Twilight is pretty sure she's seen these petitioners somewhere before.

    These stories are in continuity with The Rustic & The Romantic and If the Flight Suit Fits.

    Now featuring cover art by the inimitable crenair!

    All chapters originally written as separate entries for flash-fic blog Thirty Minute Ponies (TMP). I highly recommend a visit to TMP if you're looking for some of the best 1000-word gems in pony fiction. Many thanks to TMP for inspiring me to write!

    Twilight breaks Celestia's doors.

    But then, you'd be mad too, if your stupid brother got drunk and told you that you were adopted...

    Featherweight has had a crush on Scootaloo for as long as he can remember, but he never did anything about it. That is, until the fateful day where he is given the challenge to kiss her before nightfall.
