As a stranger in a strange land, sometimes you need to get a different perspective to see how you might fit in. Jeremy gets his chance to see Equestria from the bottom up when he gets in trouble with the law. Ponies have such a happy, peaceful society that it's easy to forget that perfection doesn't exist, and there's always going to be misfits and the disenfranchised.

“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.”
― Nelson Mandela

When Twilight Sparkle suggested they all go see the new racy movie that just came out of Canterlot, Dash was all for it. Now she and her friends have to sit through a horror movie that also has kissing and hugging and all kinds of weird stuff. No pairing. It's a Bible Black fusion that doesn't get cloppy, though it does poke fun at the tropes of pony clop.

When a unicorn from Cloudsdale comes to Ponyville to beg Twilight to teach her the flutterwing spell, the CMC gets a lesson on Cutie Marks that's not exactly the usual. Why settle for merely doing what you're good at? Some ponies just want to defy convention, even if it results in them living in an unsuitable environment.

Note, this project is abandoned/on long term hold. I'm just posting it because it's still got some cute scenes I liked. I had another idea I liked better, so this one falls by the wayside.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has had a longstanding and not entirely one sided rivalry with the magical duo Magic Penn and Fortune Teller, who take every opportunity to rub her nose in the fact that they're well known and successful with headline shows, and she's a traveling performer.

Trixie has been invited to perform at the Millenial celebration of one of Starswirl the Bearded's greatest achievements, and they're well set to reduce her to a one line note in the society pages with their Canterlot Royal Playhouse performance the same night. What's worse, Twilight is involved in the Starswirl celebration, and she knows one of Trixie's darkest secrets. Now it's Twilight Trixie has to please to get a chance at, if not fame and fortune, at least honor and pride. Some Twi x Trixie.

Written for a 30 minute challenge. Okay, okay, so it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes, but is that really a reason to make a Nugar Rule setting word limits on 30 minute challenges? You know you're awesome when people make up entirely new rules simply to prevent you from doing that thing you just did.

Written for a 30 minute challenge about ponies who have secret skills nopony would expect. It took me about 45 to write this, which is a bit over the limit, I admit. Just a cute little slice of life thing, where the mane six talk about their minor talents at a get together at the Library.
