For years, Sweetie Belle has secretly been turning to video games for relief from her insecurities. Now a talented member of an elite team of gamers from around the world, she has come to rely on her new friends for companionship and support as she bears the rising pressures of her coming-of-age.

But when a sudden gaming cutie mark reveals her secret to everyone she knows, she's forced to contend with her uncertainties over what it means for her future, along with a fresh wave of bullying at school, jealousy from her childhood friends, and mounting expectations from her family.

As she takes her first unsteady steps into adulthood, she may learn she's not the only one hiding a secret, and that her journey to self-discovery isn't one she walks alone.

A story about how kids raised in the age of the Internet have come to rely on online communities to escape from society's expectations for them and achieve the best, most authentic versions of themselves.

The newborn daughter of Cadance and Shining Armor is a national treasure of the Crystal Empire, a symbol of hope and joy across all of Equestria, and possibly the most widely beloved foal in all the world.

But for those closest to her, she's also just a regular baby: a copious fountain of panic, sleep loss, and organic fluids. Any newborn pony can cause havoc with spontaneous magic, but a baby Princess may be more than a whole castle of royal foalsitters can handle!

Originally created for the Most Dangerous Game contest perpetrated by Obsolescence, but I missed the deadline, and ended up renovating the never-quite-finished contest draft into a stronger, bigger story. Since the whole point of the contest was to take up well-overdone cliches of the fandom and do something, well, good with them, I do hope that Constant Reader will trust me far enough to get past the warning flags among the tags.

After the grand galloping Galla, Soarin could not stop thinking about the amazing pie he had, and the pony who made it. Spitfire sees that this is interfering with his performance, and let's him go to try and find the pony to clear his head.

Sweetie Belle sings for a charity event and remembers her sad past but feels secure in her hopeful future. Warning: Remembered child abuse.

See the tales unfold as Princess Twilight along with help from Spike and Celestia explore Twilight's castle to see what really has been happening within Twilights Castle to find something has awaken that cause the echoes and screams of her friends though the halls.

The story has and will be rewritten by each chapter with a few minor changes, however the story remains the same, and the perspective has been changed from the former one.

This is just one of those nights in The Zone, a group of strangers who consider each other friends, keep each other company around a fire as they spend the night keeping watching and swapping tales. Times like these are timeless, cherished, for none of them may see each other again, or survive until the next time. The stories they swap spread and take up residence in the collective folklore of that time and place. These are the legends of The Zone.

During the slow moving summer, young ponies have to find inventive ways to have fun. Most of the time a bright imagination is enough.
But in Rainbow Dash's case, in order to do that and preserve a fledgling reputation, you have to bite your tongue and gallop into dark places unknown to be the cool pony.

Apple Bloom decided to go into the Everfree to see if Zecora had any clue's on how to get her cutie mark. Somehow a Timberwolf got involved. It was totally not her fault. She definitely did not see it sleeping near a river on her way there and try to get her 'Timberwolf smasher' cutie mark.

Nope.

Spike is having trouble trying to confess to Rarity. And hes being plagued by the same nightmare night after night. After getting lost hunting Gems, trying to clear his head, it seems Luna is willing to help with the aid of an old friend. Turns out Spike isn't the first dragon to have fallen for a mare.
