"I only left my daughter alone for an instant Mr Officer, I didn't know this would happen. Her name? Flurry Heart. My name? Prince Shining Armour... oh, so namedropping that I'm royalty won't do me any good? That's a shame..."

Just another entry for a certain competition involving Shining Armour's hapless fathering shenanagins that's running right now. Rumour says you can enter more than once, so here I am again. All in the spirit of friendly competition...

It's important for a princess to learn to defend herself. It's important for a father to make sure their daughter is happy. It's important for a guard to survive cataclysmic events.

Written for the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad 2024 Competition

Special thanks to EileenSaysHi for editing and giving some extra ideas.

Flurry Heart tries to warn her father of the impending apocalypse. Shining Armor thinks his daughter has a lovely imagination.

My first attempt at writing a comedic(ish) story! Do be gentle haha. This is an entry into the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition! I don’t think there’s a worse thing a dad can do than cheerfully ignore the apocalypse, do you?

With Pinkie Pie's birthday coming up, her friends find themselves facing a bit of a dilemma about how to celebrate it. Fortunately, Cheese Sandwich just so happens to come back to town, and he's more than willing to take over the party planning.

Pinkie is quite thrilled to know her party pal is back in town, but soon she can't help but notice that Cheese seems to be acting rather strange around her.

Will Pinkie be able to figure out why Cheese seems to be acting so odd? And what's the real reason behind Cheese's return to Ponyville?

(Takes place between the events of Birthday Built For Two and Rock Solid Approval?. Also takes place in an AU during "To Where and Back Again". Familiarity with the above fics is recommended, but not required.)

Cheese Sandwich decides to pay another visit to Ponyvillle to see his special somepony: Pinkie Pie. And when he does, Pinkie Pie couldn't be happier to see him again.

Before long, Cheese meets the Cake Twins Pound and Pumpkin. Then, unexpectedly, he's pressed into duty as a foalsitter when Pinkie Pie is suddenly called away.

Is Cheese up to the task of foalsitting two troublesome toddlers? Or will the twins drive him crazier than crazy?

While trying to create a potion to come in handy during their defeat of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Cozy Glow accidentally makes a love potion. Then it explodes. Her roommates slash allies Tirek and Chrysalis get caught in the midst of the spell’s smoke and the effects are less than desirable.

Not only have they fallen hard for each other, but started to call Cozy their daughter. And she’s hating every second of it.

This wasn’t what Cozy wanted at all.
Or was it?

Now has a reading!!<3

No, I will not elaborate.
This was complete self-indulge that I wrote in one draft.
Enjoy 8 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

The summer season was just about over at Stella Lacus adventure summer camp. Amie and her younger brother Wes were eager to return home. Unfortunately for them, their adventures had only just begun.

All at once, the entire summer camp and the mountain it was built upon shifted universes, leaving Earth behind for a far stranger world. In the same moment, every camper, counselor, and staff-member transformed into strange insectoid creatures, with unknown powers and incomprehensible needs.

Instead of returning to nursing school, Amie has a new goal: keep her little brother alive. If only the other campers didn't look at him like food...

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle want to help Scootaloo with her crush on Rumble, seeing that she's too stubborn to admit her feelings, also getting assistance from the dancing pony Tender Taps. Dinky wants to help Rumble with his crush, but unfortunately for the Crusaders, Rumble's affection seemed to be focused on a sweet little Unicorn Filly. Apple Bloom hopes to get Scootaloo her colt, unless Sweetie Belle herself starts to return Rumble's feelings.

At the Apple Family’s annual gathering, Spike meets Apple Dumpling. She’s new to town and in need of friends. She takes an instant shine to the little dragon, and the two of them hit it off right away, and they realize they have a lot more in common than they originally thought, one having just moved to a new town and the other left ignored by his lifelong crush.

A buffalo storyteller tells young calves about the first real monster their kind has ever known. A monster so fearsome that dragons are nothing in comparison, one that promises to make the true meaning of evil known.
