Fancy Pants and Fleur Dis Lee have decided to take a vacation from Canterlot and its constant upstaging lifestyle. Manehattan was not their first choice, but with Fashion Week happening, both of the ponies have a certain interest in one of the designers, and hopes about her as well.
And of course, Fleur loves clothes too.

Sweetie Drops had a rough first day at school. Things get even worse when the other kids start picking on her, but salvation comes when a new filly enrolls in class and easily becomes the target of the teasing. So easily, in fact, that Sweetie Drops herself joins in.
At first, Sweetie Drops is relieved to finally be left alone, but her mother's warning about teasing others--and her threat of taking away dessert for an entire month--rings in her ears. When she goes to apologize, she doesn't realize the event is actually the start of something much more important.

When Captain Silent Wing, along with Fade Eyes, Glimmer, Starfall, and the Tail sisters, are called to a small cottage at Luna's request, they go without question. But when they get there, they are...surprised at what they find, and who they have been called upon to investigate.
And then Discord shows up.

Batponies are a mysterious race, spoken of in hushed tones and in dark corners. Most ponies don't even believe they exist, and the batponies wouldn't have it any other way. However, when one is caught in the dead of night, she'll lay the foundation for her kind's place in Equestria with a few words.
And a simple gesture of trust.

A short story written for Equestria Daily's Batponies Writeoff!

Fifty ponies volunteered for a mission to travel deep into a cursed forest. Their mission is to find a way to end the war against the griffon kingdom and stop the bloodshed that is soaking their new homeland of Equestria. Fifty ponies took the word of an aging unicorn that hope rests somewhere deep in the heart of the forest, and that if this mission fails, Equestria will fall.
Now, only seven of those ponies are left. They must hold off a force several times their own size and battle the dangers of the forest. All while fighting with broken and scavenged equipment, little rest, less food, and private thoughts of racism that threaten to return them all to the ways of thinking that destroyed their old homeland.
Only one thought keeps these ponies together: If they fail, Equestria will crumble with them, and the ponies that survive will wish they hadn't.

Once again, poor Princess Luna misses out on the adventure. While Twilight Sparkle and her friends were saving the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Princess Celestia and Spike defended Canterlot, Princess Luna was nowhere to be found. Just like the Royal Wedding.
But that doesn't mean the beloved Princess of the Night was taking it easy during the passing of the Secretariat Comet. Canterlot was not the only city that was threatened by magical beasts enhanced by the comet's strange magic, and Princess Celestia wasn't the only Princess defending her subjects that night.
Only...something is different with this monster that is attacking Manehattan. It is unlike anything Luna has ever seen, and when even her enhanced magic from the comet fails to stop the creature, she must find another way to defeat it before it destroys her and the city.

It's been three weeks since Octavia's smash hit, I am Octavia, and while the cellist's career is on a high note, that's about the only thing that is. Vinyl and Octavia are a complete wreck without each other, but repairing such damage to a relationship isn't easy, nor is it always possible. This is my answer (even though I know it's already been done here) to the question on everypony's mind:

Will Vinyl and Octavia be friends again?
