Sometimes, when one is dealing with family problems, it's best to get away and cool off. What better way for Thorax to do that than spend time with his best friend and the stallion he swears is the definition of cool?

And, who knows? This stallion might offer a bit of insight into his problems.

This story is a sequel to The Village Called Respite

It's Nightmare Night in the strange village hidden deep within the heart of the Neighagara Forest. Tonight, all the changelings and ponies of Respite will laugh and play and dance the night away. But something seems off about the merry band of tricky nymphs and foals, and Sure Stroke's determined to get to the bottom of it.

She just might wish she'd stayed on her cloud.

Twilight Sparkle was hoping to spend the morning snuggling with her loving girlfriend, Luna. But princessly duties demand their attention, and Luna has no intention of letting her sleep. Naturally, it's time to object. Creatively. And she's determined to come out on top of things.

Figuratively speaking, at least.

A oneshot voted on by my patrons.

A nighttime gathering brings the promise of smiles and idle chatter, an inescapable web for Princess Celestia. This night, however, brings forth an opportunity for companionship she lacked since the start of her lonely reign.

Love at first sight? Not quite. But love in a place like this? Princess Celestia can't help but think it to be a rarity.

In the heat of the moment, a poor choice of words is all the difference between pragmatism and spite. Especially when spoken out of anger.

Three weeks without a word to her girlfriend has nagged at the back of Applejack's mind. But she's not in the wrong, she's sure of it.

Mama used to love birdwatching before she passed on. Fortunately for Applejack, she carried the tradition long enough to meet a real live angel. Or somepony close enough.

This story is a sequel to The Challenge

Rainbow Dash has been happily engaged to Princess Twilight Sparkle, the love of her life, for several months. She's taken her on Hurricane's Way and shared in the rites of pegasus courtship. Too bad she forgot to tell mom and dad before they found out by reading the paper.

But that's just fine. It gives them the perfect excuse to go visit their little Dashie and meet the mare who stole her heart and became the wind beneath her wings.

Coco Pommel liked to think of herself as a responsible, hard working mare. She made sure her pieces were made on time, and each of her clients satisfied to the fullest. But such a busy schedule can wear a mare down after a time. Enough so that she can't even muster the energy to read one of her old romance novels.

Fortunately, there's a mystery mare willing to make her fantasies come to life. All she has to do is clear her schedule and enjoy a day tailor made to her needs.
