(Idea proposed by Latecomer with whom this is a collaboration. Takes place after "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows". The Sex tag is for implications of sex but no actual sexual content.)

The news that Princess Cadence is having a baby came as a surprise to all but one mare, but now the secret is out and there's lots to discuss about it. Including the fact that Cadence is going to be a mom.

At a sleepover at Twilight's castle shortly after the big announcement, the girls all start to consider whether they might one day have families of their own. This kind of curiosity naturally gets them talking as each consider their own parental styles and restrictions or barriers to being a parent.

The resulting discussions may just reveal some things about themselves that the six mares have never known before. After all, no two mares approach the aspect of motherhood in quite the same way.

Cadance didn't know what to expect when her formerly banished Aunt Luna returned from her thousand year banishment. But, she's quite entertained by the hilarity. Especially if it means a chance to play a little joke.

You know what's a dumb idea? Taking the crew of a stranded cruise liner and marching them through a magical horse dimension to get home.

You know what's a smart idea? Grouping everybody in pairs so that they can buddy up and look after each other during the trans-dimensional trek.

When Flash Sentry is randomly partnered with an annoying fussy magician possessing an ego the size of the magical storm that sank them, he'd almost rather stay back on the wrecked ship.

As Head-Mare, it's Starlight's responsibility to look out for her students and their well-being. However, every once in a while, a matter comes to her attention that she feels she needs to address. Today, after hearing talk about how close Silverstream and Gallus have become, she decides that this is one of those matters.

It’s vacation time! And much to the chagrin of everycreature but Ocellus, Professor Rarity has given an assignment: use your unique skills to provide a service for your friends.

Ocellus has a great idea! In order to help propagate love, her service to her friends is the chance to take a practice run at admitting their feelings to their crushes, a task made easy by her changeling magic. It’s a great idea!

Maybe.

This story takes place shortly after She’s All Yak.

About a week after the Friendship Games, the human Twilight Sparkle is settling in at CHS and Sunset Shimmer is trying her best to help ease the process. A chance bit of online silliness sparks a conversation that goes places neither expects.

A stream-of-consciousness experiment with my favorite gangly ape nerds.

Rated Teen for suggestive dialogue and premarital hand-holding.

Luster Dawn is a unicorn filly enrolled at Princess Twilight's School for Gifted Unicorns. After only a year, in which she displayed her exemplary use of magic and expertise at fostering friendships, it would come only as a surprise to her that Princess Twilight Sparkle would offer her the role of being her personal student. Whilst such a thing should have been an honour for the young filly, she can't help but let the stress of carrying such a title weigh heavy on her haunches.

Fortunately, her mother, who isn't the best when it comes to all things emotional, is there to lend her a hoof.

"Bullies always tease the ones they like."

Diamond Tiara lives a happy, peaceful teenage life away from her mother's influence--and, more importantly, with the mare she loves. Still, as she coaches Apple Bloom on Saddlespeare and remembers pieces of her past, she can't help but wonder if the saying is true--and if her so-called "love" is really something darker.

Pinkie Pie gets sad sometimes. It's just a fact of life, and it's one Fluttershy had to get used to when they got together. Sometimes Pinkie gets sad, and all Fluttershy can do is be there for her.

Pinkie is brash during these episodes, though, and that can cause problems. Such is the case when she's spending time alone at her "thinking spot," the mirror pool in the Everfree Forest, and an accident leads to her falling straight into it.

The magic of the pool splits her in two, and suddenly there's a new Pinkie in town. She isn't there to party, though, and her sour expression and flat mane don't seem like they're going to disappear anytime soon.

She'll just have to learn to live with it.

This story is set in the same universe as most of my other stories, and as such the setting and characters may be a little different than they appear in the show. None of my other stories are required reading for this one, but they do have context for why characters may look slightly different or live in a different town.

Going the other way, this story does have slight spoilers for other stories in the chronology, notably for my last story.

Intrigued by her brush with love, Sweetie Belle concocts a plan to find her a special someone. A plan that will need the help of Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
