Yona and Sandbar are happily married, but nasty talk around town about their size difference have Sandbar a bit on edge. How can he be the stallion she deserves if he doesn't fit into the traditional role of being the bigger and stronger one?

Luckily, he runs into a stallion who went through something similar and gets a few pointers on what masculinity and love truly mean.

After being stood up on a date, for the umpteenth time, the last thing Rarity wanted was a night at the carnival. Not when there was a bottle of wine and a pint or two of ice cream at home that desperately needed her attention. But Spike had been so earnest, so eager to please her, to make her forget her worries. And she never could say no to her little Spikey-Wikey.

Not even when it would have been the right decision.

Rated T for innuendo.

(Cover art is not fully representative of content; while there will be crying and ice cream and running mascara involved in the story, there probably won't be a fainting couch.)

*As of the final chapter, there is a fainting couch

When her divorce finalizes, Rarity finds comfort in a familiar friend. Shortly thereafter, she makes the biggest mistake of her life.

Takes place after The Last Problem.

Second place winner of HapHazred's Change Of Pace contest.

Written to, and inspired by, this song and that one.

It's been almost twenty years since Sunburst last spent the night at Starlight's home. Much has changed since then. If it weren't for her other friends finding a way for them to reconnect, Starlight might have truly lost her first friend. While she looks back fondly on their friendship as foals, Sunburst doesn't even seem to like talking about that time in their lives, much less revisiting it.

When Starlight approaches Sunburst the night before he returns to the Crystal Empire, she inadvertently discovers something about her old friend that might explain it all.

Inspired by a scene from Uncommon Bond. Story takes place towards the end of the episode.

Pinkie Pie loves her friends.

She's very good at showing this, too.

Even if it seems like there's nothing anypony can do—least of all her—she'll be there for you.

When Sandbar receives an invitation to attend a Yakyakistan Hearth's Warming festival with Yona, he should logically be overjoyed at the opportunity! Right? Unfortunately, life is more complicated than that.

Sandbar is a transgender colt who loves all things feminine, and because of this, he suffered from frequent transphobia throughout his childhood in Boltamare. This left him with deep anxieties over new cultures, sparking a resurgence of intrusive thoughts that he has to fight to suppress.

Can he overcome his fears and truly be himself at one of the biggest yak festivals in all of Equestria?

Rated T for mild references to bullying and transphobia. Reader discretion is advised. This story is dedicated to all the trans and non-binary pony fans out there. Trans rights are human rights!
