Pinned down and powerless, Starlight Glimmer found herself in a seemingly hopeless pinch. Her plan to save Twilight Sparkle and her friends from the changelings failed.

With no help in sight, is Starlight and Equestria finished, or could something Twilight sometimes do be the key to saving the day? At the very least, Starlight will get answers to various topics that she had always wanted to know...and then some.

You may be surprised by who will be in the most trouble when this is all over.

(Takes place before "Friendship is Magic".)

Pinkie Pie has just met and befriend Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and is excited at the prospect of getting to live in the bakery that they own. However, she has to first get the okay from her parents to stay in Ponyville.

What will Igneous and Cloudy have to say on the subject of their daughter leaving the rock farm before her time? And what will Mr. and Mrs. Cake think of the unusual behaviors of the Pies?

Lyra Heartstrings is a silly mare. One of her hobbies is to make up silly nicknames for all her friends. It's a lot of fun. It's also a good way to make new friends.

Sometimes, one of those friends will be a very good friend. Sometimes she'll have an extra fun name to play with, and be really pretty and make great candy. That's more than a friend, actually. It's even better.

Thanks to Grey Vicar for prereading and Cryosite for help with the description.

It was a typical day in Griffonstone for Gilda and Greta, just trying out some fresh Griffon scones when their other friend Gabby arrives after being away for a few months.

Nothing was out of the usual, at least until the two discovered Gabby was carrying a baby with her. Not just any baby, but a dragon baby, and she says she's its mother.

This just leaves Gilda and Greta with a few uncomfortable questions they feel they cannot avoid.

This story is based on this series set in the Alternate Universe created by InuHoshi-to-DarkPen.

Sea Swirl loves Sassaflash.

Sassaflash loves Caramel. Caramel loves Sassaflash.

It'd be so much easier if Caramel was a jerk. It'd be so much easier if Sassaflash really loved Sea Swirl all along. It'd be so, so, so very much easier if Sea Swirl didn't have a mind as wide and vacant as a deserted seabed.

The trouble is: love is like life, and both are like the sea. As simple as they look on the surface, they're so mind-bogglingly strange and complicated underneath that it's easy to get lost without a guide.

Life, love, and the endless sea: Sea Swirl herself can only manage one of those three. But she's always trying her best. And sadly, her best might not be good enough, not when it comes to the one thing that matters most:

A happily ever after.

Fluttershy is a normal pony living a normal life. Sure, saving the world once is an achievement, but other than that she was content with the life she has.

But when she finds two abandoned changeling nymphs, her life is quickly turned upside down. Now she cares for young two creatures she knows nothing about, and they don’t seem to trust her.

She is determined to give them the best life that she can.

After having been stuck in the monotony of Starlight Glimmer’s village for so long, Night Glider has no idea what to do with her newfound freedom. Knowing nothing about her past and having no friends or family to return to, she decides to go to the Princess of Friendship to discover what it means to have friends, and hopefully discover what lies within her own past. With such mysteries to uncover, will the two become fast friends, or will it all fall apart when the going gets tough?

This story got a lot of build up before anything really happens!
Later there will be some heated scenes, but no clop!

Flight lessons and magical tutorage only make up a very few of Flurry Heart's many daily activities. She's also just recently encountered an ancient and dark king from long ago who she thinks might not be such a bad pony after all.
