Shelves aren't the only place Twilight Sparkle keeps books. In her room, beneath her mattress, lies a hidden enclave of romances that have rarely seen the light of the sun. Maybe she's read a few too many romance books before bed because, just as much as the characters in those books, she's in love. If only the author of those romance books could help her.

It's a good thing she knows the author. She just doesn't know it yet.

Within the Wonderbolts, only a select few are chosen to perform death-defying stunts for a cheering crowd of thousands of ponies. This year, Rainbow Dash was not one of those few. A bet and a race against Spitfire might prove her last chance to get in. But in order to win, she needs an ace up her sleeve, a trump card. She needs a coach, someone that understands flying at an innate level.

She never thought that someone would be Big Macintosh.

Basically an 80's sports movie where Big Mac is Mr. Miyagi, Rainbow Dash is Ralph Machio, and Spitfire is that asshole from the other dojo. So...Spitfire.

Luna had spent a long, lonely millennium on the moon. Now back on Equestria, she is appalled to find out that Celestia has disbanded the royal harem. To reestablish this venerated tradition, Luna must choose a head concubine. However, her first choice might need a bit more convincing than she would have first thought.

This story is a sequel to Keeping It Simple

Octavia has fought hard in her life for three things: her art, her career, and her new boyfriend. She never learned to stop fighting.

It's a mistake that might cost her two out of three of the things she's fought tooth and tail for. She's still figuring out which two.

Big Macintosh's life has taken a surprising turn in the form of a pink pony with a penchant for partying. But even amongst all the gossip and the dozens of parties appearing on his calendar, he still manages to live the same life he’s always lived (to a certain degree). However, sometimes it’s not the great big changes that are the most affecting.

After Big Macintosh helps the Mane Six out of a jam, he finds his ordinary life of
peaceful routine thoroughly disrupted by the various misadventures those crazy
ponies always seem to get themselves into.
