Silverware is typically only used by unicorns. By the time any other pony managed to manipulate it properly with their hooves they likely would have made a mess of their food, and if they used it with their mouths they couldn't very well eat the food on the utensil.

So when the Cutie Mark Crusaders start discussing amongst themselves the meanings of their classmates cutie marks they come to a puzzle in Silver Spoon.

What is an earth pony doing with a cutie mark of something she can't effectively use?

Mayor Mare has had a long and successful career as Mayor of Ponyville. Under her administration it has grown from a small farming village of Earth Ponies to what will soon be one of the most important and diverse cities in all Equestria. She has a lot to be proud of about her years as mayor.

But time does not stand still. She is getting much older, and she doesn't have the energy to accomplish what she once could. The growth of Ponyville increases her duties and responsibilities, and those are outgrowing what she can keep up with in her old age.

Faced with a new, younger challenger for her position she knows her days as mayor are numbered. As the votes are counted she has one primary thought going through her head----who is she if she isn't Mayor Mare anymore?

Murky and Unity are friends, but they used to be something more. Unity reflects on what brought them together, and how they made the hardest choice either of them had ever faced.

Note: Unofficial and not affiliated in any way with FuzzyVeeVee. Not 100% canon compliant; conflicts slightly with From Whence Till Now. Under no circumstances should you read this before Chapter 24 of Murky Number Seven.

Titanium is a new recruit in the Royal Guard and things already become interesting. A Changeling attack? Or a misunderstanding?

I would like to thank AnkokuFang for allowing me to use their art work for the cover art. Please take a look at his channel and show him some support!

I would also like to thank TheEngie for tracking down the artist! I don't know why I was having a hard time locating him in the first place. Thank you!

Diablo crossover.

Short stories set in the universe of my other fic, Justice Itself. Behold Tyrael and his life as a mortal pony, as well as a number of other things such as exploring Tyrael's interaction with background and other characters. The many tales of thing not important enough to take up space in the main story.

Spoilers for Justice Itself up to Chapter 17/18 / Act II.

Complete comment on individual chapters, unless you're commenting on all chapters at once on the main story page.

Many thanks to Sparklight for the cover image.

Story One, The Angel & The Dentist: Colgate encounters Paladin and finds out his...less than stellar dental care habits. Which is to say, he had none.
Story Two, When All He Wants is Peace & Quiet: Birthday prompt from Nealend86. Tyrael just wants to read his book, but keeps getting interrupted. Also: a bear.
Story Three, No: The Cutie Mark Crusaders want Paladin to fulfill his promise in a certain way. They just don't seem to know the meaning of the word no. Personal challenge to write a story where a character only uses the word 'No'.
Story Four, 'Chocolate' Eggs: So very, very HUGELY non-canon. Easter Special - Paladin misunderstands everything. Hilarity ensues.

Starting over is never an easy thing to do. Lost, alone, and cold, sometimes a friendly smile and mug of cocoa are all that's needed to warm the heart.

And right now, Bon Bon is very cold.

A shy, introverted colt. An uncertain filly. Two teenagers experiencing one of the most complex emotions for the first time. Neither of them knew what to do with their feelings, how to express them, and how to make the first step.

But one of them had to do it sooner or later.

A lovely one-shot for Hearts and Hooves day, showing the first step of teenagers into a bigger world of deeper feelings.

The beautiful cover art was done by Skunkdinner.
