It's been months since Earth and Equestria made first contact. While the first few weeks have certainly been tumultous—cue the philosophical ramblings, the extra-political debates, and the riots flaming up here and there, not to mention severe culture shock from both sides—those things have died down...for the most part. These days, humans and ponies are just trying to get by, living with each other's dimensions connected.

On an early spring Friday, Lyra Heartstrings takes a trip to Blueglove, a booming city in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Her chosen dinnerplace: William's, a not-so-old diner recently renovated to accommodate Equestrian species and their tastes. She'd heard that Earth diners are not that different from the ones back home, so why not a little of the familiar with a big dose of the new?

And so, she sits at the counter and strikes a conversation with one waiter there: Carter.

Rainbow Dash has decided to use her newfound powers for good, becoming the hero Supermare. However, there are still issues to deal with, ponies to save, and villains to face off against. All of this is a daily aspect to being the Mare of Steel.

This is a collection of side stories to Mare of Steel; I recomend reading that first before reading these

Have you ever heard strange voices in your head? Have you ever felt like your life is being observed or controlled by some omnipotent being? Twilight Sparkle has, and it's driving her up a wall; the FOURTH wall! Watch the hilarity ensue as Twilight hears the soothingly manly voice of yours truly!

Changelings are mighty hunters, capable of imitating anything they choose to perfection. Naturally stealthy, soft on their hooves, and cunning to a fault, there is no doubt that they sit on top of the food chain. Incognito is a proud changeling and looks down on his friends prey from his lofty spot above them all, confident that his spot at the pinnacle of the food chain is secure. After all, his race is without equal, their strength unquestionable ...

With the exception of a small, little nerve cluster at the tip of their snouts. It doesn't help that everypony in Ponyville knows about it, too.

'Nito really wishes they didn't.

It’s the middle of the night and Luna’s got the munchies. Thankfully, Canterlot Castle just acquired a vending machine for such occasions.

What could possibly go wrong?

This was written for the Luna (is BEST Pone) Contest hosted by PixelMoon, based on the prompt: “Luna’s chips get stuck in a vending machine.”

Twilight Sparkle is a student at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. She loves to learn all she can about magic and the world that surrounds her. But lately... something strange has been happening. It may be nothing. It may just be a product of her imagination, or the heavy stress she's been under since her studies started.

There's no way she just heard a voice in the dark.

Written for The Writeoff Association's latest event: "Forbidden Knowledge".

This story is a sequel to Something I Can Never Have

Three weeks have passed since Tempest Shadow and Xenon have danced at the party in Canterlot. It seemed to be ideal - she found a stallion who liked her and didn't care one way or another about her broken horn, and he found a mare who could give him comfort after his recent breakup with Caramel Blaze. Then Tempest learns her relationship with Xenon may require more from her than she expected. She finds herself forced to make a decision.

This story is a sequel to Little Choices

In the aftermath of the fall of Canterlot, Princess Rainbow Dash and her friends have found themselves in the newly restored Crystal Empire, seeking a power that they can use to push back Queen Chrysalis and save Equestria. But with the history of the Empire shrouded in darkness, finding this power will prove a challenge.

To make matters worse, a shadowy presence lurks at the edges of the Empire, and the Changeling Swarm will only take so long to discover where the last remaining princess has gone. The pressure is mounting, and even though she feels she isn't cut out for this, Rainbow Dash must step up to her station and lead her friends, and the Empire, to save Equestria... or lose everything she holds dear.

Never thought I would write a story that necessitates this, but beware the spoilers in the comments!

In ancient times, long before the land came to be known as Equestria, there was a kingdom known as the Dale. The only land still ruled by an Earth pony family, its first daughter, Princess Essenta, wishes for more than the dull life she was born into.

Sent on a fool's errand by her father, the king, she strives to not only succeed in it, but turn the world upside down as she goes along. With a growing company of dynamic--and dangerous--mares, she is well on her way to success with this.

Check out the Appendix for Princess Essenta, updated as the story moves along. It shows the story's timeline and character designs. Contains spoilers.
