Coco Pommel arrives in Ponyville with a problem, and there's only one pony that can help: Fluttershy. Rarity and Fluttershy travel back with her to Manehattan to prepare for her fashion show.

This story is a gift for yellowstripedflutterbat whom I've been following since I first joined this site, and whom I wish would write more horse words.

This story is a sequel to Mutual Interests

After finally coming to accept others into her life, Sunset's outlook takes a turn for the better. It's not perfect, though. Now she has a whole new set of problems: Others still walk on eggshells when she's around, the teachers still eye her with caution every chance they get, and she still has to get used to the intricate nuances of friendship. But with her friends by her side, and even the occasional help from unlikely sources, can Sunset help her fellow students see the new her? Or will the consequences of her past consume her future?

And who is this new teacher and why does he seem so interested in her?

Over the course of her career, Rarity has influenced and helped many who have aspired to make something of themselves in the world of fashion. As such, it was inevitable that, sooner or later, some of them would meet up with one another. And when the youngest of their number starts to struggle with his current creation, what better time than now for such a meeting to happen?

After the Battle of the Bands, Sonata finds herself dumped by her friends and ends up staying at Canterlot High, hopefully with the help of a few of the students and two new kids she can fit in, hijinks are sure to ensue

Coco Pommel simply could not stand it any longer.

This is a stream-of-consciousness look into a possible way events transpired just before the end of "Rarity Takes Manehattan." It is also a look into the mind of someone who perhaps cannot think terribly rationally all the time.

Coco Pommel has a problem.

Apparently, she's no longer Coco Pommel.

Thanks to a clerical error, every piece of identifying paperwork, her bank account, and even her apartment lease all recognize her as Miss Pommel.

Now, a frustrated Coco has to untangle the legal nightmare of fixing this mess...but just how did it happen in the first place?

(Written as a direct response to the probably-inaccurate news going around about this.)

After the invasion of Canterlot, ponies became aware of the frightening changeling race. As a result, they had adopted methods of exposing and countering the love-feeding parasites.

Glamour, like other changelings, have found it more challenging to find a stable supply of love. Seeing the flaws in posing as a pony's loved one, she tries a new way of getting love.

By becoming a fashion model.

All she had to do was become famous and bask in the adoration of her fans. However, the world of fashion is not as easy as it looks, and Glamour finds her life become much more complicated when she gets paired up with Manehattan's newest fashion designer, Coco Pommel.

This story takes place a bit after the events of "Rarity Takes Manehattan".

Anon and Coco have been friends for quite some time. They’ve hung out several times, too many to count on two hands alone. Yet, this time around, something was different. Something was really different. Anon couldn’t put his finger on it.

Coco Pommel knew. And she was not wanting to let him go without saying it to him. That's why she invited him to go for a walk to her favorite coffee shop.

Neither expected the outcome.

Fleur de Lis has recently found herself enraptured with Pinkie Pie and her partying ways. The problem: Pinkie is what Fleur's typical crowd would refer to as a "common pony," and her parties aren't exactly seen as the type of event a sophisticated mare should be attending. Regardless, Fleur is determined to get closer to the intriguing party pony, even if she has to sneak around to do so.
