For all of you, whom, like myself, find yourself alone on Valentine's Day, I write this cute little story.

Whether you have friends and family to be around and celebrate Valentine's Day, or are just sit alone on this day reading pony stories, I offer this story as a Valentine's Day gift to you all(unless you aren't reading this on Valentine's, then happy whatever).

The Cuddler is on the loose!

He is wanted for such crimes as head pats, ear scritches, mane and coat brushing, back scratches...and the worst of all, belly rubs!

Princess Celestia has put one million bit bounty for information that leads to the apprehension of The Cuddler.

Growing up in an orphanage is hard for Sunset Shimmer. Though she looks like a unicorn, she has some striking differences. The foals bully and harass her because of her looks.

One day Sunset has an "incident" that destroys the orphanage. This catches the attention of Princess Celestia who takes her in and adopts her as a daughter.

While living as the princess' adoptive daughter, Sunset encounters another strange pony named Twilight Sparkle who looks strikingly different from herself. The two bond over their unusual natures

On the longest day of the longest year, Nightmare Moon attacks.

The two strange flee the only place they know to an odd town on the edge of the Everfree Forest known as Ponyville where they meet others as strange as them. They must work together to find a way to defeat Nightmare Moon and save Princess Celestia.

This story is an AU from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic timeline.

This is a T-rated story. The sex tag is for some brief mentions of sex, but nothing explicit. The violence tag is for some mild violence, but nothing gratuitous.

Fate and prophesy can be funny things. Sometimes harmony and magic can be a bit unpredictable.

Starswirl's last prophecy was unclear as the greatest spell caster of his day had notoriously bad horn-writing and was equally bad at only writing down half of what he saw in visions.

For generations Princess Celestia has been subtly manipulating the lives of her ponies for generations, using a combination of Starswirl's prophesies and her own foresight to get the outcome she wanted. But she forgot the three most important rules about trying to manipulate future events: 1) The future is like a river. It follows its own currents and makes its own path. 2) The future is always in motion and is next to impossible to predict with any certainty. 3) The very act of viewing the future changes it.

This story is an AU from the main MLP:FiM starting with a deviation from the episode Magical Mystery Cure.

It all started with a single question: What if it was the Mane 6 that became alicorns and not just Twilight?

It's rated T for mild violence.

EDIT: June 7, 2023 By Celestia's glorious sun! This story went featured within a couple of hours of posting!

EDIT: October 29, 2023 This story got featured again!

For generation the kirins of the perilous Peaks have cut themselves off from the wider world. As such the wider world.

Twilight, curious on how an all-female species reproduces writes a letter to Autumn Blaze asking about kirin sexual biology. She receives a plus-one invitation to the kirin village for the summer mating season.

She decides to invite Cadance along

The sex tag is for talking about lewd topics

Reader warning: Kirin biology, kirin courtship and mating rituals, two characters talking about lewd subjects, and an explosive finish.

This story was inspired in part by a comment I had on this story.

Everything seemed to be going better for Sunset Shimmer since getting blasted by the rainbow of light. She was learning about friendship and how to be a friend. Then Anon-A-Miss struck.

Thinking she had gone back to her old ways, Sunset's new friends walked away from her, leaving her alone.

Now Sunset cannot find neither the strength nor the will to get out of bed.

This is a first foray into attempting to tell a story from a first person perspective from Sunset's point of view.

This story is inspired in part by my own past struggles with depression.

The suicide/self harm tag is for thoughts of self harm, and Sunset's inability to eat or do anything other than lie in bed as she sinks deeper and deeper into depression.

In Manehattan there is a strange ape-like creature that is being held in a lab. Its injuries bear the distinctive marks of illegal sport hunting by exotic game poachers.

What's strange is that there's an entire section in books on natural life about this creature designating its kind maned apes. What's even stranger is that there are accounts throughout Equestria's history about maned apes turning up.

The maned ape, given the moniker Big Red by the scientists holding it, is given over to the crown and transferred to Ponyville for safe keeping. The Mane 6 comb through Equestria's historical texts and oral account to try and find where the maned apes come from.

This is an HiE story that starts in Season 1 shortly after Apple Buck Season.
