Warning, this work of fiction contains multiple fourth wall breaks, massive silliness, and more than a trace amount of alicorns.
The author may or may not have snapped at times in the writing of this work, and it shows. Bring a towel, you may get wet.

What if Rainbow Dash had been present when Discord gave the Mane Cast their first shot at him? How could things have gone different? How could this have changed things?How could this have changed Twilight?

How does magic really work?

Traditionally, a unicorn would learn most of his or her magic through study and experimentation. But what is the limit of a unicorns power?
What if this limit could be exceeded. What if the magic every unicorn is accustomed to using is only the first stage. The first path.
There is another path. The second path.

A certain boastful mare returns to Ponyville, this time lurking on the shadows of the night, what will the Great and Powerful bring to this peaceful county this time around?

The story of a troubled writer and thief named Raven Quill who just moved into Ponyville with his drunkard mother. He supports himself with the money he makes by selling stolen good. He soon after finds himself growing emotional ties towards another pony which will prove to be the worst mistake he ever makes.

Granny Smith has had a pretty remarkable life of adventure and excitement, but she settled down when she had a daughter. It wasn't long before she was blessed with another. So, how did she get to where she is now? How did Big Macintosh get so quiet? How did Applejack get so invested in the family business? What ever happened to their parents? Lots of questions, and lots of answers.

Two thousand years ago, the terra ponies and the alicorns waged war over who would control the world. In the end Discord settled it by attacking both sides. Both were all but wiped out. Or so it was thought.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders have gone missing and it's up to their sisters and their friends to find them. But they might not be looking for three fillies anymore... And why is Trixie calling herself "new and improved"?

After failing to stop Nightmare Moon in the ancient castle of the pony sisters, Twilight Sparkle is left with a scar that will permanently change the rest of her natural born life. As Twilight recovers from her ordeal, she finds that she is left with a difficult choice. Either live her life as a lie or sacrifice her innocence to protect the ones she loves. The path before her is set and she must now walk it alone. The sands of time continues ever onward, with everyone already trapped in its muddy depths. The sun will rise and the sun will fall. Waiting for its call, Death awaits for all.

I just put the two together

Not all assumptions are malicious, but even the most innocent rumours can be unpleasant, if they actually effect ponies' lives. Rainbow Dash knows this all too well as she tries to confront the stallion of her dreams. A bitter-sweet kind of hilarity ensues when she meets another pony with similar problems.
.

After her students release the spirit of Discord on an official field trip, Cheerilee finds herself out of a job. With no opportunities in Ponyville, the schoolmare takes a job offer in the inner city area of Canterlot's old mining town. Can even she overcome the insanities of her colleagues and apathy of her students in time to pass her next annual review? And who is the mysterious backwards-talking filly following Cheerilee around? Luna's School for Disadvantaged Youngsters will never be the same!
