As a filly, Twilight Sparkle used her incredible magic to hatch a dragon egg. That dragon then became her lifelong companion, friend, and even sibling: Smolder.

Now Smolder has a chance to learn more about her own kind by meeting a dragon born and raised in the Dragon Lands. She has to figure out what to do next and what that could mean for her--and her family.

A one-shot contest submission for Secrets: A Swapped Roles Contest

Tony Stark considers himself a fairly open-minded guy, given the whole Iron Man thing and all. There's nothing that can't be explained away by science.

...Even a very tiny lavender unicorn who ended up in his lab. Maybe. Who seems intent on calling him dad. Well, at least he can say to himself he won't have to find a gift for Pepper this year. Now, explaining this one to SHIELD, on the other hand, not to mention getting over his crippling parental anxiety issues? Yikes. ...somehow, facing Ivan Vanko again sounds more appealing.

After a thousand years spent trapped on the Moon, Princess Luna is officially back home.

Tired and weary, she would truly like nothing more than a nice, long sleep.

Sadly, Princess Celestia has other plans for her dear sister.

Artwork by MagnaLuna. Thanks for all those that pointed this out!

In an alternate universe, Empress Celestia is the sole ruler of Equestria - later to be surpassed by her daughters; her heirs, Princesses Sunset and Twilight.

Nightmare Moon had long since banished to the moon, but even for such an exile, there's only so much a moon banishment can do. Her body may be chained, but not her spirit.

Takes place years before Tough Love

Rainbow Dash arrives at Sweet Apple Acres, looking for Applejack and finds her coming out of the woods. Just where was she last night?

Second place in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Classic Contest #52 with the prompt "where'd you go?"

Rarity leave for Canterlot on an important business venture, so she leaves Sweetie Belle in charge of the Boutique, thinking she's old enough to handle this task. Sweetie Belle promises Rarity that she'll keep the shop safe, but when the bugs get in and start threatening Rarity's livelihood, Sweetie Belle will have to think fast or end up disappointing her big sister, and that's totally not acceptable!

They've finally done it. They beat Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis. Twilight became the new ruler of Equestria.

Now there's no better way to wind down than getting drunk and playing party games until they pass out.

A human finds himself in Equestria under very unpleasant circumstances with no explanation.
His reaction: get the heck out of Dodge and start a new life where Equestria and her ponies can't reach him.
But an alicorn's reach is long and the events which brought him here and his treatment in Canterlot are not so easily forgotten by those who did it. How does one say 'go away' to an immortal goddess?

Yay! Featured, thank you all.

Revised 08/31/14 for clarity and grammatical issues, no events changed. I am working on a sequel, but it will be from Fancy's POV.
P.S. Green is NOT Lyra. There are other green unicorns.

This story is a sequel to Drawn With the Night

Sequel to Drawn With the Night. Fancy Thunder and a small team go to Canterlot to fulfill a commission.
She decided to ask a few 'innocent' questions and toss a few stones in the placid waters to see what is stirred up. Specifically, how will the Princesses react to a pony who doesn't need them, and thus doesn't worship them?

Anon gets into an arm wrestling contest with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. It goes exactly how you expect.

Don’t know how to explain it anymore than that.

Update 2/18/2020: I am shocked this got featured.
