As an average student at Canterlot Academy, Shining Armor usually spends daily life worrying about O&O campaigns, guard training, and ignoring the incessant gossiping of his more popular friends.

But with the gossiping turning to the new transfer student, a dropout from Celestia's own Magic Academy, Shining finds himself more interested than he's willing to admit in the new arrival. Especially when it feels like all of his friends look to be to be pushing him towards this seemingly dark and stoic new arrival.

Written for the M/M Shipping Contest III! And to fulfill my need to keep writing about Sunburst and his various boyfriends.

Gallus lays upon the empty beach of Mount Aris.

But it quickly becomes less empty.

Written for both the Thousand Words Contest II for Slice of Life.
As well as a last-minute entry for the May Pairings 2023 Contest.

On a rare day without troubles, Sunburst, Dusk Shine, and Sombra take the time to read together in a corner of The Castle of Friendship's library.

It's just a shame that one of them can't focus on the book in front of him.

After noticing Gallus isn't in class, Sandbar sets off to find why he's absent. What he finds along with his favorite griffon is much more interesting than what he could have ever expected.

And much, much more fluffy.

Based on a Tweet I couldn't resist making something out of.

Also an entry for the 2022 M/M Contest!

Called to The Crystal Empire by Shining Armor, Sunburst is tasked with interviewing their newest arrival from the north: Former King Sombra.

As he tries to find out the hows and whys of this enigmatic villain's mysterious return, Sunburst finds there's something more lingering beneath the surface.

And despite wanting to be left alone to rot, Sombra finds connection to a past he'd prefer to forget and decisions unable to be taken back.

For Flash Sentry, the night was simple.

Take his boyfriend, Sunburst, out on a date to a fancy restaurant.

Lavish him with love and affection to make him blush, smile, and, most importantly, giggle like a schoolcolt.

And, finally, go home for some well earned snuggle time.

What could possibly go wrong?

Written as a super duper late entry to the May Pairings Contest.

And also because I need Flash in my Boy Repertoire.

Much like most griffons, Gallus is no stranger to exploiting every loophole he sees.

Even if it's to someone else's detriment.

After all, it's not his fault they didn't see it.

So when he gets an assignment aiming to practically sing the praises of Equestrian Generosity, he instead decides to prove that it only takes ten bits to destroy what most ponies hold dear.

Little does he know, Pinkie Pie's cupcakes are not meant to be trifled with.

Sandbar visits Canterlot Castle to give a gift to someone close to him.

Completed for the Thousand Words Contest in the Angst category.

Most mornings, it's hard to drag yourself out of bed and face the day. Especially when you were in the middle of a lovely dream, or in the company of a lovely stallion.

Gallus isn't the type to drag himself out of bed on a good day, usually hitting the snooze button to return to blissful sleep, but sometimes things just need to get done early in the morning.

Sandbar isn't one to let his little griffon escape so easily.

Only one will win out, but money tends to be on the huge earth pony.

Written for the A Thousand Words Contest in the genre of, of course, Fluff! And there's nothing fluffier than a little bit of GallBar!

Sticking to a thousand words was very difficult. But hopefully I've made the gay palpable.

After Appleloosa's orchard of apples is spiked with bootleg sleeping potions, Sunburst finds himself called to their aid as all of Princess Twilight's other friends were busy at the time.

Thankfully, he finds himself enjoying the company of Braeburn, the town's official unofficial welcoming committee and host for his stay in Appleloosa.

But hopefully it won't interfere with his studies too much.

AU tag is to cover my strange takes on: Braeburn's Past, Appleloosa's founding, Sunburst's Sunburst, and probably more?
