    If you came to hear a story, I’m sorry to disappoint. I suspect this’ll just end up as one big confession, really. When you’re the first Teutscher to set hoof into Equestria for nearly a millennium, I suppose that’s to be expected. And when you’re the universe’s favorite chew toy, doubly so. Still, with enough wit, some Prussian ingenuity, a droll sense of humor, and wanton murder, I might just survive this. Then again, when you’re going up against an unending list of things like government conspiracies, that guardian angel who keeps telling you to kill ponies, psycho Equestrian girls with allophilia, a lunatic princess, the legions of the Inferno, the Equestrian culture itself, swashbuckling sword fights, and laissez-faire economists, you begin to realize why there’s a big “if” in the middle of your life.

    Twilight despises chocolate milk. She hates it. Defiles it. She throws it on the ground, and spits in its puddle of calcium goodness. Chocolate milk has haunted her since her childhood, and Twilight vows to never drink it at all. She can't stand it! However... somepony in the Ponyville community dares to bring this sweet treat before her, and the innocent peace offering doesn't end very well. This is the tragic event that takes place on a summer afternoon in Ponyville.

    Author Notes:

    ~ Pictures are done by GrapeParfait (His Photobucket page.)

    ~ Inspired by Twilight spilling chocolate milk.

    ~ [Tragic] because a dairy product was the unfortunate victim.

    ~ A story to celebrate the first day I registered on this site. :twilightsmile:

    Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this in time for April 25th. :pinkiesad2:

    Still hope you can enjoy it.:derpytongue2:

    Wolves.

    At one time, the world was filled with them, long before Equestria was formed. Terrifying and misunderstood, though deadly all the same, they ruled the woodlands of old. That was- until they disappeared.

    Now, they are nothing but legendary, mythical creatures, only talked about in whispers around a crackling campfire, or on a dark and stormy night. Though these tales are just fiction, right? These creatures never existed...

    But that's the thing about ghost stories. Sometimes, a title can have more meaning than one is used to.

    Now, Twilight Sparkle and her friends will discover secrets long forgotten, as her and her friends, save for Rainbow Dash, literally become legends of claws and teeth. Loyalty will be tested, as will the notion of what's truly 'natural', and what it takes to survive.

    And the only two princesses who can help them have fallen asleep on the job.

    After agreeing to go on a picnic with Twilight and her friends, Princess Celestia falls madly in love with the most stolid and reliable of characters. Her devotion, knowing no bounds, turns her slightly creepy and stalkerish, much to Rainbow Dash's chagrin.

    Cover art attributable to my tendency to drink heavily late at night.

    Sequel to My Little Alicorn and Bringing Up Blueblood.

    It has been almost a year since Luna first uncovered the Arcanus E Draconus and used its dark powers to turn her sister into a filly. Since then, she has become more popular than ever, to the point where the Filly Scouts have invited her to officiate their Jamboree, which is being held in Ponyville this year. At the same time, Celestia wishes to reach closure with the infernal tome, as well as escape from her own growing concerns over her future in Equestria.

    Little does Luna know that another force is in Ponyville, looking for revenge. And it might just settle for vengeance by proximity...

    After the events of "My Little Alicorn," everything seemed to be back to normal...except for one pony.  Prince Blueblood is now trapped as a colt, his title, possessions and birthright stripped for his crimes.  Before Princess Celestia will return him to normal, however, he must prove himself by attending Magic Kindergarten.  Even worse, his current situation has attracted the vengeful gaze of two ponies he has offended in the past: the Captain of the Royal Guard and the Moon Princess.

    Will Blueblood rise above his past self and emerge a better pony?  Or will he sink back into his old depravity, and be stuck a colt for the long term?

    Note: This is a sequel to "My Little Alicorn," so you might want to check that out first.

    After the War of the Ring and the return of peace to Middle-earth, Gandalf the White departs for Equestria to pay a visit to two old friends of his; specifically, two old alicorn friends of his.

    What he does not foresee is that Equestria, like its populace, has changed vastly since his previous visit, and as a result he is quite unprepared for what lies ahead. Can the old wizard endure the trials that this new journey will bring to him? Surely, but only if he makes a few more friends along the way.

    Six of them, to be exact.

    Written with a heavily Tolkien-influenced style, which is pre-read and edited by thefluffyone and Shadow Fyre, who are both absolute lifesavers. Countless thanks for your help, men!

    (Originally posted on 8/21/12 on FIMfiction. This is written by an author that has only seen the films and has yet to finish the books, so there may be slight discrepancies. Credit to my friend Luis J. for suggesting this idea to me.)

    Twilight reads about a way to view a pony's soul, to see everything about them laid bare.  When she tries it on her friends, will she be able to look at them the same way again?  Or will the secrets hidden in their hearts drive her away?

    (Yes, I borrowed the idea of a "soulgaze" from The Dresden Files, because it's something that really fascinates me.  It's not a crossover, just an idea.)

    On a request from Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the mane six explore an abandoned mansion located deep in the woods.  While doing so, they unwittingly stumble across an enchanted mirror that scrambles their DNA and pops out three brand new bouncing baby ponies.  Hilarity and drama ensue as the mane six must cope with being suddenly thrust into motherhood, as well as protect their new foals from a dark god that wishes to use them for his own sinister gain.

    ***

    This story will switch between slice of life and adventure, just like the original show. Romance might show up later.  This is my first ever fan-fiction submission.

    Meet Pipsqueak.

    Pipsqueak, or "Pip" as he prefers to be called, has quite the imagination. There are times when he is a fearsome pirate, scourge of the seas of Equestria. There have also been times when Pipsqueak has fantasized about being a gallant prince, traveling the land, saving fair maidens, slaying wicked beasts, and being hailed as a hero by his peers. Not once did he ever imagine he'd get exactly what he wished for in the form of Princess Luna adopting him, making him an actual prince! Soon enough, Pip learns that being a prince isn't as glamorous as he thought it to be, and that there are more than a few downsides to being a part of the royal family. One in particular downside coming in the form of a nuisance named Blueblood.

    On the other side of the coin, Princess Luna must adjust to her newly-found position of motherhood, balancing the task of providing her adopted foal as normal a life as possible for a young prince, while also making sure the nobility and paparazzi keep their hooves out of their business. Fortunately, this mare not only has the entirety of the Royal Guard, including her own Night Guard at her disposal, but her sister and niece also happen to be fiercely protective of the newest member of their family.
