Ponyville is shaken to its core when a body is discovered in the Everfree Forest. As the townsponies grieve, the mysterious Special Agent Bentgrass from Their Majesties' Royal Investigative Service arrives at the Books and Branches library and drags Twilight into a world she's only read about: lies, corruption, suspicion, and murder.

Faced with an indifferent police force, and Agent Bentgrass's infuriating methods, Twilight must put the pieces together and catch the killer. But as blood continues to spill and questions pile up, one thing is terrifyingly clear: in the dark of the Everfree, much more is at play than mere murder.

This story is a sequel to Of Solicitude

Ten years after a massive war, Equestria has changed. The Empire now rules over all, giving peace and prosperity to those that deserve it, but some are against this new rulership.
The CMC, a small, raggedy group of smugglers working for the Apple family, are caught red-hoofed by an Imperial patrol. As the friends fight for their lives, they learn about themselves, each other, and the world they now reside in.
Meanwhile, in Canterlot, Emperor Blueblood has amassed a massive fleet and is preparing to smash what is left of the rebellion under the oppressive hoof of his Empire.

When a well placed conversation sparks the throes of adventure within a mare like Daring Do she finds herself once again flying the high skies in search of great treasure! The Legendary Ruby Knight.

Daring Do, world renowned treasure hunter, has had her share of
adventures. But now, in the looming threat of war and world domination, she
must brave the toughest challenge yet - facing down a horde of dragons, and
the villainous unicorn Iron Crest.

Daring Do and her lovely asssitant Ditzy Do are hired to retrieve a stone idol from deep beneath Canterlot dungeons. Then Rainbow Dash and her lightning-obsessed lover - and Ditzy's sister - Derpy Hooves get involved. Then things get complicated.

In the same continuum as "The Queen of Storms" (mature).

Set in the 958th year, 42 years before the return of Nightmare Moon, archeologist Daring Do and her sister must find the elements of harmony before a fringe group of ponies use the elements' power to take over Equestria.

Daring Do goes on her first adventure in the Amazon in search of the legendary Sapphire Statue. But this quest won't be that easy, as Daring Do must traverse a deadly jungle while being followed by a mysterious foe. She must then brave the dangers that guard the statue and make it out alive.

Daring Do finds herself as cargo on what could be her final voyage. It's sink or swim as she dives into the mystery of the Sea Pony's Pearl! Where does this marvelous marble lie? Who has our hero in the hold? And who will be the first to find it?

(Note: There won't be any real sea ponies in this story, singing or otherwise. That'd just be silly.)

A month after returning home from her adventures with the Saphire Stone, and Daring Do's already dying to head back into the field. Unfortunately for her, absolutely nothing seems to be happening. No danger, no disaster, no adventure ANYWHERE. Until she receives a letter in the mail, telling her to meet a mysterious pony at the Canterlot Museum. Upon arrival, she finds that the pony is not so mysterious after all -- in fact, she's just the opposite. Cassablanca Lily, of the Canterlot Lilys, is one of the most well known ponies in all Equestria. However, what she shows Daring is not. Somewhere below the Canterlot Museum lies a secret vault, lost to the civilised world for nearly two hundred years. The treasures it holds are innumerable and invaluable, but it's not what's in there that matters; it's what isn't. The Gryphon's Goblet, a powerful chalice immortalised in fairy tails, is missing, and no one knows for how long. It could be one year or one hundred and fifty. But one thing is certain: someone has to get it back, before whoever stole it finds out how to harness it's powers. And who better to do so than the amazing adventurer Daring Do?

Behold the continuing adventures of Daring-Do! Daring learns from her friend of a goblet that is owned by a griffon, whom is the self-proclaimed "king" of where he lives. His goblet is a very beautiful artifact, and dates back to the time of the griffon's ancestor, whom was the original owner of the goblet. Now daring-Do has to get to the griffon's mountain and obtain the goblet, but she'd better be careful, because this griffon isn't prepared to let his most prized possession get taken.
