When given the chance, would you want to take another stab at living? Markus Obediah took that chance when a lab accident sent him to critical care. The beings in power saw this as an opportunity. Markus thought he would receive a new body, new powers, or at least become a new person. Instead, he must now command and become part of an army the likes none have ever seen before. An army that can mold and shape into whatever form it wishes. An army that can use any and every resource to fuel a massive war machine. An army with so much potential, it can spell disaster or progress in the extreme to this new and unexplored world. An army of...goo?

All civilised cultures and species develop their games and sports. Equestrians are no exception.

At the Sweetwater Country Club, a stallion of great ambition is about to attempt his goal once more.

Fillies and gentlecolts, allow me to introduce Triple Bogey, informally honoured at Sweetwater Country Club as their Worst Golfer of the Year. Six years running.

Avid is just your average human, until he mysteriously blacks out one day. When he comes to, he finds himself in the most impossible place. Equestria. Follow Avid as he finds the answers to several questions, How did he get there? Why is he there? Will he ever get home? Or have to settle down? Why is the author asking silly questions when he knows the answers? Who knows.

This story is a sequel to A Competition With Two Winners

Concerned about what others may think of their relationship, Rainbow Dash and Applejack try to keep their love a secret. But situations may arise where hiding that love is difficult...

As the Mane Six are called upon once again to deal with threats to Equestria, bonds will be tested and tension will run high. But will the two mare's avoid having to tell the truth? Only time will tell.

Recommended you read the first story to be aware of specific plot points and characters, but it isn't essential. The story will most likely alternate between slice-of-life and adventure arcs throughout, so hope you enjoy!

A unicorn engineer, who has a wing obsession, fears every change and every new encounter, has self doubts in form of a critical voice in his head, and breaks easily down. Not the best combination for an adventure, if you ask me. Not that Steam Gear would like to go on an adventure.

He is perfectly happy with his normal life as a shop owner in the small town Ironburg. Or as happy as you can be, if you stay alone most of the time. Well, alone if you forget about his employee and his regulars, who enter the shop, from time to time. But that's not the point.

Steam Gear likes things the way they are. Little did he know, that a normal day will end in a catastrophy and his life will be changed forever, as he finds a mysterious tree with strange gems on it. He gets drawn in a war, he doesn't want to be part of and the worst is, he will be the protagonist.

The All-In-One is a magnificent invention that can do anything for you! It can cook, it can clean... it can do anything! Princess! Come over and take a look at our newest invention, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

When Twilight's latest magical experiment backfires, she and her friends are left in positions where they get to know each other more in ways they never intended.

Will you go out with me?

Rainbow Dash wants to ask Applejack to go out with her. The problem is that every pony seems to know her feelings EXCEPT Applejack. She enlists the help of her friends. Luckily they have their own ideas as to how to confess.

Warning: Get ready for a lot of face hoofs.

Both the Sunset and the Dazzlings were defeated with the Magic of Friendship. However after one strategic curse, the human girls have found them selves without it, and without Twilight. In order to fight magic with magic, the girls may have to take the risky route to rid their curse.

Pumpkin and Pound cake are starting the school term once again, but the trouble is that they’ve forgotten almost everything that they had studied for the past year! However, even as they try to quickly learn everything once again, a certain pink pony’s interference is making re-learning rather hard…

Well… if learning includes logic, anyway.
