Something is causing the pegasi to follow an irresistible urge to hug their ground-bound cousins, leaving Ponyville foundering in a mildly annoying emergency. Twilight Sparkle ventures into the no-more-dangerous-than-usual town in a desperate attempt to solve the cutesy crisis and finally get her study time back.

Inspired by shortskirtsandexplosions' story Herald.

Caramel has a job as a telemarketer. When he calls Twilight Sparkle's house, she lets her pet owl pick up the phone. The only problem is that Owlowiscious does nothing but hoot.

Note: This is a direct sequel to Spike's Crazy Date it is highly recommended that you read that first for context.

A short year has gone by since the "Vinyl Scratch Incident" and Spike finds himself as single as ever. When an old flame resurfaces however, Spike will be set on winning her heart.

Unfortunately for Spike, old flames aren't the only ones coming back. And when someone once very dear to Spike has a startling revelation, the dragon will have to make a decision that will change everything in his life.

As Spike searches for answers, the drake discovers the true meaning of love in the process.

Pinkie Pie has noticed something: every time Spike wears a hat, his personality changes in accustom to said hat. The mare then thinks of something that would be funny, and that would be to get Spike to wear all the hats she can find.

Spike is also unaware that he is wearing a hat at all.

The original idea originated from: Lord Zinger

Princess Twilight Sparkle wakes up to an urgent letter from Celestia about a new, vague threat! The Elements of Harmony arrive and are unable to do anything! Her brother randomly shows up to save the day!

A collaboration with (seriously, this is becoming a habit) electreXcessive. The idea was originally his, and we took it away!

On a normal weekend, Cheerilee assigns everypony an assignment from a unit she has been using for years. She considers it to be the most important one of the year; to teach the fillies and colts about the differences between ponies, and how they can all work together to do more than they could on their own. Unfortunately, a confused trip to the library by three fillies raises questions the teacher can't answer.

In an effort to make sure she teaches everything she can to the best of her ability, Cheerilee enlists the aid of Twilight Sparkle to help rewrite the textbook she has been using for years. As the days tick by, however, she is forced to deal with something she thought she had a handle on a long time ago.

The time for reckoning has come. After nearly a thousand years of avoidance and dread, Discord's fate is sealed in what is surely his end. Can the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony possibly survive what is most likely his certain doom? Or will the perils be too great for him to manage?

All he knows is that minty fresh breath will be the least of his worries.

Thanks to my editor Daemon McRae and prereader Skeeter The Lurker for all their help!

Dramatic reading you can find here.

When Twilight is attacked and nearly killed by a madpony claiming to be her brother, she, the Princesses, and the rest of the Elements of Harmony find themselves saddled with a shellshocked soldier who would like nothing less than to end her life. While they help him adjust to normal life, he makes his story known - and what he claims causes them no end of worry.

There are things which are not crimes -- things which others are determined to see as crimes in spite of all evidence, truth, and reality, as long as their false perception gets them what they want. After a visit to Barneigh's Exclusive Garments And Saddlebags, Rarity has found herself on the receiving end of that self-enforced delusion, facing anger, accusations, and abuse of power for the smallest reason of all --

-- one created by the smallest minds.
