It's Flurry Heart's seventh birthday, and her parents have told her she can have anything she asks for (so long as she eats all of her crystal veggies, which she did). They expected something extravagant, but obvious - a fancy dress, a room full of candy, maybe even her own little throne between theirs. What they did not expect was the one thing she wants more than anything for her special day. Princess Flurry Heart... wants a pony of her very own.

[EDIT]: Wow, on the front page in less than a day! This is amazing!

Diplomacy, foreign relations, cultural exchange, all important duties that Twilight needs to learn as a princess. Fortunately, this foray in to the unknown is made much easier when she meets a lovely foreign pony from the French Equestrian Kingdom who's willing to be friends with her.

Now, if only they could actually understand each other.

Series of oneshots set in a RariTwi AU based on the prompt, "Rarity and Twilight are princesses from different countries, smitten with each other despite being unable to communicate".

YOH 1480 - Pot Mender is a tinker mare, an intinerant tradespony on the fringes of Equestrian rustic society. Goldie Pie is a highly-educated and well-respected medical professional, the midwife who serves South Dunnich, Nickerlite and much of the northeastern fringe of the White Tail Hills. Goldie Pie doesn't much like Pot Mender. But the day will come when Pot Mender will have her chance to do a deed of worth, and accomplish something of great importance to Goldie.

Contains some RariPants, but not much.

Socialite. That was what one used to think of when the name Fancy Pants was passed around. Just a wealthy, carefree socialite living in the glory of Canterlot's elite.

For a time, that was his life. Living for the sake of living, and learning where he could to make the next day a little better. Then, one night, when he was just living, somepony dared him to run for Canterlot Mayor.

7 Terms and 21 years later and he's the lame duck Mayor. The first in Canterlot's history. He's grown old, his city has changed, and life really does seem different now. But is that a good thing?

Dedicated, or rather, partially inspired by psp7master's fic "A Jolly Good Evening". It won't be nearly as grand, but at least I can say his work was so profound, it sparked me to be creative too. Mission accomplished.

Following the final Magic Duel, Ponyville holds Trixie in custody until she can be attended to by one of the Princesses. However, when Celestia arrives with Prince Blueblood in tow, a shocking truth awaits the residents of Ponyville.

Clarabelle is a look at what the apple family keeping sentient farm animals really implies. When you think about it, it really sheds an uneasy light on the social dynamic between Ponies and the "critters" they keep under their care.

Inspired by "Get along little doggies", the song about rounding up cattle for their last corral.

This story is a sequel to To Be A Mule

Every year, across Equestria, donkeys gather for the Festival of Lights, to dance, to sing.

And to remember.

An entry for the World-Building Alliance June writing prompt.

After Queen Rarity once more rejects the advances of one of the many noble ponies who seek her affection, Princess Sweetie Belle finds out that her sister is secretly in-love with somepony else, thus her heart-breaking streak. Alone in the throne room with her sister and the royal body guard, Twilight Sparkle, the young princess decides that she's going to find out the identity of Rarity's secret crush, no matter what.

Part of the Bodyguard!AU Series, based on Earthsong9405's AU where Twilight is the bodyguard to a "Princess/Queen Rarity". Prior knowledge of the AU is not necessary to read the story.

This story is a sequel to The Masquerade

After a long day, Twilight is ready for a quiet night keeping watch over the Princess. Or, it would have been a quiet night had the Princess not decided her bodyguard's sleeping arrangements were 'simply unacceptable'.

Part of the Bodyguard!AU Series, based on Earthsong9405's AU where Twilight is the bodyguard to a "Princess/Queen Rarity". Prior knowledge of the AU is not necessary to read the story.

Princess Celestia had a good day. Luna had been going out more often and was becoming quite fond of nightclubs, her dear niece Cadance had formally announced her pregnancy—though, privately, Celestia felt she was too young to be a great aunt—and, of course, Twilight, her beloved former student, had taken on her first student and Celestia couldn't be prouder! Yes, it had been a good day.

Celestia Sol woke up much like she did every day the morning: sun waking her as it danced upon her eye lids. Wait, the sun? Celestia's eyes snapped open to reveal she was in Twilight's old room in the observatory. On the other side of the room was a smaller bed where a small dusky unicorn was drooling on her pillow.

Clearly, it must be Tuesday.
