After years of being the runt of the litter (despite having no siblings), Spike finally comes into his own and starts to grow up and mature. The result is a unique bit of magic all his own, or so the theory goes: He awakens one morning to find words hanging overhead that call him [The Gamer], along with powers that let him 'live life as though it were a game'.

How he decides to handle all of this, and where things go from there? That would be a spoiler, and you all know how we feel about spoilers around here...

Frequently asked questions will be answered from time to time, and those answers linked here for the curious:
The First FAQ

Six months. The length of time since Luna's returned from the moon, and the time it's taken for her to completely accept that nopony really wants her around, with the sole exception of Celestia. It would be bad enough simply trying to adapt to a millennium of cultural changes, but the fear and disdain directed her way at every corner is enough to drive Luna to stay in her room.

Little does anypony know, her room is precisely where Luna's come alive since her return. 'Make friends,' Celestia says – if she only knew! Luna has a friend, Felix, who lives in the human world. A little dimensional magic never hurt anypony, and humans have the best videogames! She can connect with people who aren't afraid of her and go on grand adventures where no one can judge her!

If only Felix knew who she really was, if they could have a truly genuine bond. Well... a little dimensional magic never hurt anypony, right? What's one more spell?

Disaster strikes Equestria when Celestia is found collapsed in her room alongside Daybreaker. Questions about how Daybreaker became real are only compounded when her personality becomes clear – she's an oddly affectionate goofball who's obsessed with math? Where's the destruction and chaos?

Celestia and Luna were hoping to retire soon, but now they have to handle this strange pony, who should be an embodiment of all of Celestia's worst impulses, but seems to want nothing more than to help everyone in Equestria. This drive to help, paired with Daybreaker's lacking restraint and common sense, along with her seeming inability to control what comes out of her mouth, add up to far more of a headache than either diarch expected to deal with in their final days of rule.

Good thing she's at least completely emotionally balanced. By the way, did you know story descriptions always contain at least one lie?

This story is a sequel to Magic of the Heart

Ditzy and Dinky's greatest adventure may be over, but their lives, and the lives of all their friends, are still full of promise. Take a slice-of-life look at some of your favorite characters, after the events of "Magic of the Heart".

This is not a novel, it's an anthology. A collection of short stories about the continuing adventures of the characters from the "Shipping and Handling" fanfic universe. These short tales are mostly unrelated to one another, and feature many of the major and supporting characters from the trilogy. The one thing they all have in common is that they're set at some point after the events of Chapter 20 of "Magic of the Heart".

A documentary on Anon's Bat Sanctuary, tangentially inspired by DoubleWBrothers' My Tiny Pony series.
(PSA: Do not actually pick up or otherwise touch wild bats in real life unless you're a trained professional)

This was my gift to Desolator aka Starless-Night for the Ponysuits Discord Server's secret santa event (link on his page). He very much enjoys bats in all shapes and sizes (including "bread", "grabbed" and "SNIFFERING" which I am assured count as shapes and/or sizes).

This story is a sequel to Sunset's Crowning Achievement

The last time Twilight saw Starlight Glimmer, she threatened to kill Rainbow Dash when she was just a filly and ruin Twilight's life by going back in time. Only, when she failed to find Starlight in the past and returned home, Equestria wasn't a ruined wasteland, Ponyville was a lot bigger than she remembered, and all these new ponies in the castle were talking about some big pony they call Empress.

After the Friendship Games, Sunset feels it's time to return home.

Only when she gets there, Twilight's castle is nowhere to be found, Cadance just got her horn, and Princess Celestia is still calling the bacon-haired pony her prized student rather than a failed one. And just reliving her past isn't on the table thanks to a pair of wings Sunset seems to have sprouted upon her return to Equestria.

With Sunset being back before she's supposed to, will the world stay as harmonious and on track, or will everything go down in flames as Sunset has to deal with allegations that she's really a changeling in disguise, a nerdy stallion with blue hair that wants to be her coltfriend, a pretty pink princess in need of remedial magic lessons, and an annoying purple pre-teen pony that will absolutely not go to bed without first being read Starswirl's Complete Mystical Mysteries Compendium?

Only time will tell

Getting pulled into a land of magical ponies wasn't something she had expected when waking up, especially while having been transformed into a semi-canon character!

Get ready, Equestria! Daybreaker's come to play!

Now with a Chinese translation by kkkirov on fimtale!

There's a lot of Human-to-Nightmare Moon stories out there, and very few Human-to-Daybreaker stories as far as I know. Here's my take on a pegasister who gets transformed into edgy sun horse. Literally. Daybeaker has very sharp regalia.

I did not expect this to be featured. Thank you. (22/09/24)

It was my birthday, something that I never expected to be special, until I wound up dead on that very same special day. Calling out from beyond the void that stands between life and death. I never expected to get an answer back. The next thing I know, I’m waking up as an overly pink little pony princess, with an identical twin standing over me with a sadistic grin!

Immediately, I fled. Becoming The Crystal Empire’s number one most wanted refugee. I was on the run, constantly enduring a stream of nagging from both Flurry Heart, Luna, and her alicorn mother Cadance to give in and become Flurry Heart’s sibling as if this was some sort of perfect little fantasy. Fighting for my next meal, evading guards, navigating my new mysterious alicorn magic that never seemed to work right… It took me to my wits’ end, and my hubris caught up with me in the end. Cadance is a super powerful pony, with an even stronger maternal instinct. Cadance was going to have a lot on her plate convincing me to trust her, or anypony, in this weird magical world.

But when it comes down to Cadance's word against mine? I never stood a chance, she wasn't going to give up on me, and she wouldn't take no for an answer.

[This is mostly a wholesome found family story at heart, there are a few adventure-y sections, but the story is meant to tug on your heartstrings and be emotional.]

[However, there are a few sections of this story where the protagonist grapples with feelings of: Depression, Anxiety, and Disassociation, if you've read anything with even a smidge of dark/angst you should be fine. Why? Because Kieran died in a rather traumatic way, and I won't sugarcoat the sort of feelings that invokes in him. The story is still rated E, for reference, if you aren't convinced by my own words.]

Princess Celestia, searching for Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the missing ponies, approaches the Tree of Harmony to see if she can find any clue as to where all of them went, only to be ambushed by the remnants of Nightmare Moon, seeking revenge after her defeat. In an odd twist of fate the two are pulled into a brand new world, full of heroes and villains with all sorts of powers, Quirks, though both figures end up separated from each other in the land of Japan. Celestia ends up in the care of Inko Midoriya with Izuku as her brother, while Nightmare ends up being found by All For One.

Both must deal with their own Quriks and the school that teaches students on how to become heroes, all while facing those that seek to bring them down.
