This story is a sequel to Softie


Scootaloo asks Rainbow Dash for some flying tips, but is given something a lot better. Instead of boring herself and her filly friend, Dash takes her and flies up to her home to help her practice flying in the clouds.

Upon arrival, Soarin is impressed at how much of a fan she is of Rainbow Dash, opting to introduce himself as well. Scootaloo was an ambitious pony, and to top it all off, she matched Dash's desire to fly.

Mistake? Yes.

Worth it? Yes.

Of course she’d be a happy to see a Wonderbolt, but how much happier would she be if she learned a few flying tricks from one? Well, at least he meant well, as things don’t go according to plan.

Starlight Glimmer comes home from a long day at the office. Unfortunately for Trixie, Starlight is not in the mood for some interesting Easter celebrations...


Well, this is weird. Hi there. Yeah, this is my first Starlight x Trixie fic. I acknowledge this is short and straight to the point. This story was made in roughly two hours since I spun the wheel for a story prompt from my previous ideas. Then I gave myself a time limit. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this short shitpost of a fic! I might make this longer in the future. Idk. It depends on if I get the motivation lol Also, this is marked with sex for the inclusion of a... spicy outfit. However, no actual sex happens in this story, so this is marked as Teen.

This story is a sequel to G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! and Krypto Too


To get over the trauma of their last adventure, the Mane 6 follow Violette Rainbow to the Swirlpool Starlight, a magical event held once every 10 years. But as the Mane 6 get their future told, they get summoned on another adventure... hopefully less dangerous than the last.

Upon exiting the portal, they join forces with Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and the Mystery Inc. crew as they head to Chicago for a talent show, some museum tours and whole lotta pizza! The windy city is home to the hit TV show, Talent Star, in which songwriting duo Fred and Daphne are finalists with some high hopes. Not to be left out, Scooby and Shaggy have a secret act in the works, which they are betting will take the contest by storm.

Unlucky for them, the competition is frightful at this talent contest as the show is being broadcast from an opera house with a history of horrors and a particularly vengeful phantom that has cursed the show's production.

From costume changin' chases to collecting creepy clues, the Mane 6 and Mystery Inc team up with a trio of singing winged leopards to ensure that the show goes on, and with natural talents like the ponies and Scooby-Doo on the case, you can be sure that the laughs, thrills and adventure are always first place!

Anon thought he had it made, that his years of looking after and helping Celestia with her day-to-day affairs on the throne were over - unfortunately for him, he was only partially correct. With nothing but time on her hands, and a burning desire to make herself useful, his oversized and overpowered Princess drags him along to pursue more pedestrian professions...

Kinks Include: No kinks - well, there's a bit of unintended and awkward spiciness, but that hardly counts

When Shining Armor was in high school, he was given an assignment to take care of a bag of flour decorated like an infant filly. By the end of the week, "Floury Armor" was a prize-winning batch of muffins and the yearbook committee had unanimously voted him "Most Likely to Appear in a Future Villain's Tragic Backstory." This really should have been a red flag, but for some reason the Queen Bee of the school still married him anyway.

When Shining Armor found out that his wife was pregnant, he was quick to introduce the Crystal Empire to the idea of a gender reveal party. Luckily, that quarter of the city had been due for extensive renovation anyway and his explosion-proof wife appreciated the sentiment.

Now, when his daughter is turning into a pony he no longer recognizes (and he can't even blame the changelings this time), it's up to him and his self-proclaimed stellar parenting skills to save her from herself.

A young teenage wolf-pony named Cody, whose parents worked day and night in Ponyville to save up bits so they could finally buy the cure for their eldest son, Max. When Cody tried to convince his parents to let him work to help, his parents forced him to keep an eye on Max just in case anything bad happened. Until one night he snuck out of his home and was lost to the Everfree Forest. He was attacked by the Timber Wolves but he was saved by a kind Zebra named Zacher. But when Cody was saved, a red scarf was around his neck and he could control it with his mind, which gave him an idea. He will leave Equestria and go on adventures as he makes new friends and new foes to fight. But he will fight for honor and money.

(Story was inspired by a person's Original Character, Cody. Thanks for being a good friend man ❤️💛💙🖤)

Night Glider has lived in Starlight's old village for a long time and needs to get out... if only for the weekend. There's gotta be more to life, right? A greater purpose? Maybe she'll find it in Canterlot, if she's lucky.

Spike, who works at the Canterlot castle full-time, is comfortable in his daily routine of lounging about, doing what Twilight asks him and hanging out with his friends on the weekend. Why would he want anything to change when he knows exactly what to expect day after day... after day... after day. Okay, maybe he was too comfortable. Starlight was keen on making that change.

Maybe getting asked to be the official tour guide for the weekend for a mare looking for something new in life is just what the both of them need to learn a little more about themselves, what they want and what experiences life can offer?

It's only a weekend though. It's not like anything too crazy can happen, right?

This story is a sequel to Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads)


Finger Food's life is going pretty well. She's disguising herself well enough that nopony recognizes her as an evil clone of Pinkie Pie from the Mirror Pool. And she's renting an apartment and living with her super-fun husband Puzzle Box, and she's studying at university for a Bachelors in Philosophy.

And she's working on her evil plans to become immortal and have fun for all eternity, while making sure to keep hiding from everypony in Equestria, including Twilight and her friends and extended family.

But one day, long after she graduates and Princess Twilight became the ruler of all Equestria, her Finger Food Sense tells her that there will be a horrible disaster starting in Ponyville that will affect everycreature in Equis, including her, so she takes a break from her evil plans to stop it, by any means necessary.

This story tells the events of its prequel Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads) from Finger Food's much more serious first person perspective.

The Human tag: All characters are quadrupedal ponies. This story has brief discussions of the Equestrian's government's advice for what to do if a human or other unknown creature is encountered, and there is only the single human that also appeared in the prequel making a brief appearance with no speaking lines in the body of a pony (with no speaking lines) (in the body of a pony makes a brief appearance with no speaking lines)

This is a (withdrawn) submission to the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition, containing an evil Pinkie Pie clone's perspective and thoughts about Shining Armor being a terrible dad, mostly in the last three chapters.


A/N: The death tag: Actual deaths are limited to at least one clone getting sent to the Mirror Pool. Hypothetical deaths include an evil clone inappropriately and elaborately describing their reaction to the Trolley problem, a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number.

Themes of death also include: Fear of death/extinction. The death tag is also there for themes of ponies (other than alicorns) being mortal. It's also there for uses of the spell that send clones to the Mirror Pool, as perceived by Finger Food. This is a dark tragedy for the main character. The spell usage is similar to events in Too Many Pinkie Pies (Season 3, Episode 3), and that episode is rated TV-Y (suitable for all ages).

Other miscellaneous tags

  • The Dark Forest Hypothesis as a story theme (simplified version: characters that shoot and ask questions later, or hide as well as they can to avoid getting shot)
  • Not a crossover, but this story has a few jokes about Undertale
