After Trixie's defeat and the confiscation of the Alicorn Amulet, Twilight Sparkle decides to research some of the spells she had seen the showmare cast. Unable to find most of them due to the fact that they required obscene amounts of power, she does manage to find one that might work for her. A spell to reverse aging. Unfortunately, an interruption by her friends causes the spell to go haywire and now Twilight has to deal with being mother to her five best friends.

Alto is a unicorn. He can play the saxophone. That's all he knows until he's kidnapped by a group of vigilantes, burns down a bar, and is placed under house arrest while the investigation into his association with a changeling he rescued is underway.

I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

Fluttershy lets Derpy stay with her after her coltfriend kicks the scatterbrained mare out of his home.  Pregnant with his foal, she seeks out Fluttershy's help as midwife and confidant.  Sparkler and Dinky make their presence known when her ex-husband dumps them on the two pegasi. Now finished.

Celestia's guilt for putting Luna on the moon. Luna's guilt for falling to temptation. Discord's Xanatos Gambits and chaotic machinations. Put them together and you have a recipe for a very bad time. Solar Flare, Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings. Can the Elements of Harmony handle it? Or will the magic of friendship burn out in blaze of futile heroics?

EDIT: Title changed to avoid confusion with the far more popular human derpy/dinky story.

One night I fell asleep in my bed, had another pony-based dream session, and got up ready to begin my day. Imagine my surprise when I exited my room and instead of finding the rest of my small apartment, I found the vast expanse of Ponyville. Lucky me, right? Not really when you're addicted to things that don't exist in this world and you have enough issues to make Twilight's little friendship problem look like a day at the fair.

Yes, I'm doing a HiE story. Yes I am shipping myself with a pony eventually. I felt like it. I'm going to try not to make myself a central aspect of their lives but if I don't do occasional cool things, the story will be too boring. Just keep on reading. No I'm not going to write any clop.
