Big Mac is a farmer, always has been a farmer, and always will be a farmer...

Everypony thinks they know the real reason why Twist is named Twist. Something to do with candy or the like.

Turns out, hidden inside her personal notebook is a long list of twists.

And most of these twists even end up coming true.

Like how she finally got a Father to call all her own.

A griffon interviews a grown Spike on the last days of the Kingdom of Equestria, and his personal relationship with the nation’s greatest villain. For history is written by the winners, and Spike and his mentor were on the losing side.

A possible future, set years after the show.

All characters copyright Hasbro.

One thousand years ago, history was changed.

One thousand years ago, Nightmare Moon was killed.

One thousand years ago, Equestria broke, and Celestia had to put it back together.

[Originally planned to be a longer fic. I might return to this and continue it beyond just a one-shot in future.]

Once, I was alone.

I felt neither sorrow nor joy at this. The presence or absence of others meant nothing to me. The universe moved in silence, and I drifted in its flow.

Then came the song.

On a journey to a place seven hundred fifty million miles away, Twilight yearns for home.

This story is a sequel to The Cloudsdale Report

  Twilight’s got her nose stuck in a book. Sunset wants to go see the rest of their friends.

  Things snowball from there.

At the Grand Galloping Gala, Cadance finds something unexpected: somepony who looks like they don't want to be there at all.

Contribute to the TVTropes page! This is the third story in stand-alone Four Loves of Cadance continuity: (Agápē/Storge/Philía/Érōs)

With all her new princess obligations, Twilight needs the support of her assistants more than ever. But since she started spending more time in Canterlot, Owlowiscious has seemed awfully distracted by something. Maybe Luna can help clear up why.

Special thanks to Harwick for the random EQD comment that gave me the idea.

Royal Guard Silver Birch knows Princess Luna's history, and her... extreme reactions to being neglected in the past. When it seems Luna has been snubbed yet again, he and his partner Winter Garden take action to shield their Princess from this slight, and spare Equestria her terrible wrath.

(Inspired by a really dumb blog I did.)
