Lyra may be a musician at heart but that doesn't mean that she can't try other hobbies, right? If only she could find a hobby that doesn't accidentally bring about utter destruction of Equestria...

When she attempts a summoning spell that goes horribly awry, Lyra manages to break Discord free from his stone prison. The ensuing snowball of unfortunate events leaves her imbued with the power of chaos at her hooftips.

I try to write a shipfic about Pinkie Pie, but she has other plans...

It's Twilight's birthday! Pinkie gives Twilight a book on how to be Pinkie. At first dubious, Twilight becomes fascinated by the view into Pinkie's mind.

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

One week ago, Twilight Sparkle was crowned the fourth Princess of Equestria.  Tonight, Ponyville hosts the 1003rd Summer Sun Celebration, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna want a vacation.  With two fine young princesses like Cadance and Twilight to take over for them, nothing could possibly go wrong.

Twilight Sparkle’s own body has betrayed her. Her life hangs by a thread, and her only hope of survival is a vital organ transplant. But when the sole possible donor turns out to be a young, healthy, and honourable pony, Celestia proves just how far she is willing to go to save her student.

In the decision to trade one life for another, the most serious casualty may be everypony’s ethics.

Most of the time, Applejack is honest.  A lot of times, she's a dependable pony.

Then, sometimes, she's full of militant squirrels piloting her in a war with the Chipmunk Confederacy over a sacred acorn.

The mane six take shelter in a place that is, for now, safe from a disaster occurring outside.

This gruesome tale of violence and death is not recommended for colts, fillies, or the faint of heart.

Once again, Equestria is in peril. It seems the Trollfic writer wasn't the last threat from the beyond. Now all of Ponyville is sinking into a quagmire of depression and despair. Can Pinkamena Diane Pie intervene in time and save the day?

Bet yer flank she can.

A special guest speaker arrives in Ponyville to teach Cheerilee's class about the inner workings of Equestria's government.  And, well... it's Prince Blueblood.

Enjoy the story?  Everyone's least favorite member of the royal family continues his adventures in "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood."

Anypony will tell you that Princess Celestia is the most amazing pony in Equestria.  She's graceful, she's beautiful, and she always knows just what to say.  Her decisions are wise and her manners are impeccable.  Some might go so far as to say she's completely perfect.

Celestia has a secret, however.  As it turns out, she actually is completely perfect.  She's utterly infallible in every aspect.  And boy, is she sick of it.  

Now she's determined to manage to make just one little thing go wrong.

It won't, of course.  After all, she's perfect.
