Fluttershy has kept her little secret for too long. When her friend Twilight finds out about her habit, she feels more than obliged to trust her friend. As time goes on, the two friends discover more about each other than they might like to have known.

(Note: This story contains a decent amount of age play and other aspects of it)

It has been ten years since Luna was reformed, Equestria has since grown to be a thriving nation filled with artistic wonders. Yet, Luna’s age and experiences make it difficult to take intrest in such repetitive overdone activities. She has seen the latest in Modern Art, watched hundreds of movies and plays, and listened to enough mainstream music to drive one insane. She seeks some activity or hobby which would capture her passion, something new, something exciting, something powerful!

After searching, deep within herself and amongst Equestria, her choice was clear; metal.

So Luna dons her custom Ibanez electric guitar and embarks on an epic quest to be the greatest (and possibly only) metal musician in all of Equestria! With the help of four others, she will conquer the music scene through melodies never heard before, riffs that were never even thought of, and lyrics that would make Discord's eyes bug out!

This is a fun story I have been meaning to try, on the side. It will contain linked youtube videos for the music since lyrics are obviously restricted. You can find all the music here at my youtube channel. The videos will be added as Luna and her band plays them.

The idea for this is credited to Eagle (aka Callsign Eagle) and so is the pre-reading of this fic.

Editing is done by who is now being dubbed my lifetime editor, AuthorGenesis to which I am more than very thankful.

Celestia wants Twilight and her friends to loosen up a little bit around her. Luna just wants to try the hard cider. During a surprise visit to Sweet Apple Acres at the tail end of cider season, Princess Luna has just a bit too much to drink, and when she makes a rather inappropriate joke, Twilight comes to the very uncomfortable realization that she has never seen Celestia excuse herself to use the restroom.

When Applejack asked Fluttershy to help out with an animal problem on Sweet Apple Acres, she had NOT expected to be faced with an animal so big.

And red.

And energetic.

After an ancient spell from Twilight goes awry, Fluttershy finds herself in a new world of powerful creatures. Whilst Fluttershy struggles in the new found world, Twilight is forced to leave Equestria to find the spell to bring her back. As Twilight and her friends journey through the outer lands of Equestria, Fluttershy attempts to uncover what shadows lurk just beyond Hoenn's sight.

Contains slightly dark images and scenarios. All events are based off of season one continuity, speculation and fantastical story elements. Any conflicting canon after season one is a result of the story being created before the premiere of season two.

After a very stressful day visiting her prized student in Ponyville, Princess Celestia is left alone to contemplate and watch the sunset. From an outsider's perspective, she has everything she could ever want. But has she ever really had anything at all?

Rarity is at her wits' end. Try as she might, she can't come up with an idea for her charity fundraiser. But Applejack can, and now she has to convince Rarity and Fluttershy to take part in the last thing either of them wants to do.

What happens when you combine Industrialist Grunge with Equestria? A completely different setting, where trees are sparse but clubs are plentiful. The Elements of Harmony do not act as they normally would; sure, Rainbow Dash is still loyal, Fluttershy still loves, Pinkie Pie is still the creator of laughter, Rarity is still generous, Twilight Sparkle is still the intelligent one and Applejack is still honest. But none of this comes into play in the conventional style. No, this world is a world where it is dangerous to be alone and even more dangerous to go into foreign groups. PinkieShy shipping included.

Fluttershy becomes a gangster (among other things). What more do I need to say?

With Twilight Sparkle still adjusting to life as a princess, Rarity becomes convinced she can help her friend by finding her a special somepony. And when that somepony turns out to be Fluttershy, awkward dates and adorable moments are sure to follow!
