After Twilight Sparkle made her biggest secret public much earlier than she'd originally planned, the lives of the Element-Bearers and their closest friends somehow managed to become even more complicated than they already were. Yet despite the flurry of all of the added activity this brings, Princess Celestia decides to undertake a particularly ambitious project: the reformation of Discord. She delegates the task to Penumbra Noctis, who, more than anypony else, can empathize with the draconequus' situation, and who is therefore best suited to showing Discord the magic of friendship. On the surface, it's a very reasonable plan.

Unfortunately, Discord has never had much patience for reason.

This is the fifth and final story in The Petriculture Cycle. Reading the first four stories, which begin here, is highly recommended.

Twilight discovers new and exciting ways to devour a book.

Rarity has always believed that there exists a prince for every princess. And she's not wrong about that. She's just not right for quite the exact reasons she thinks she is.

Following a most unpleasant encounter at one of Canterlot's great parties, Prince Blueblood decides that he is tired of everyone thinking that he is a lazy, empty-headed ponce. He decides the only solution is to have a grand adventure and reinvent himself, becoming the good, dignified, heroic Prince that everypony expects him to be.

The only problem is he's a lazy, empty-headed ponce.

civil twilight [n]: the brightest phase of twilight

Twilight goes to visit her friends in and around Ponyville.

But even Twilight Sparkle has a dark side...

Twilight Sparkle is summoned to settle a legal matter involving The Great and Powerful Trixie... What in Equestria did she do now?

Cloud Kicker has an issue.

The human TD Powell is in Equestria, and it is likely that he has... advantages that she cannot find with ponies (and one of her rules is no Diamond Dogs. Ever) but he seems more than a little unresponsive to her advances, claiming silly things like 'I'm not into ponies'. Of course, TD just found out that he can't go back to his planet, so he's stuck in Equestria forever! It's Cloud Kicker's job to make him feel welcome and comfortable, right?

A crossover between The Winningverse and The Non-Bronyverse

Written for Cloud Kicker Month

Queen Chrysalis is dying. Never fully recovered from the failed attack on Canterlot, the once proud Queen finds herself weaker than ever before. With no son or daughter heir, Queen Chrysalis is forced to invoke the old laws, and name one of the last enemies to defeat her as the new Queen. As Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, prepares to participate in the Unity Chalice, she finds her life turned up-side down as changelings kidnap her and bring her before the old Queen. With no choice but to make one last promise, Queen Twilight Sparkle sets out to make peace between the Changeling Horde and the races of Equis. Little does she know, things wont be that easy.

It was a bright and sunny day when Discord came back to Canterlot under the watchful eye of Celestia as a (mostly) redeemed draconequus. But the luxurious life of royalty is so... BORING! "Do something creative," She said, "It'll be fun." She said. So on a dark and stormy night full of cliches, Discord sat down and began writing offensive literature that only he could imagine. Equestria will never be the same again.

Red June has just moved to Ponyville. Despite what everyone thinks, it's all an illusion. Her parents aren't fancy rich ponies from Manehattan, she's not a model, and her current living quarters include a small pile of grass in an equally small alley. However, when she's discovered by a colt named Spectrum, she realizes she's got a lot more power than the average Earth Pony, and she's not alone in this power.

She finds herself suddenly introduced to a family of unrelated ponies, each with incredible power over a natural element. Under the guiding hoof of her mentor, Florina, will she fulfill her potential, or be destroyed by it?
