Often it is that two ponies will meet and discover an affinity for each other, deciding to spend more and more time together. Time brings familiarity, familiarity brings comfort, and comfort brings happiness.

Two such ponies are Stygian and Sunburst. Following Stygian’s return and subsequent reformation (in which Sunburst played a key role), the two found themselves drawn to one another. Long talks in the library, comparing Sunburst’s knowledge of historical events to Stygian’s memory of the same events, there was a little something that they seemed to enjoy about eachother. After one particularly awkward night, Stygian popped the question, one thing led to another, and now they’ve been officially dating for a good three months.

Today, they’ve gone out to a cafe together. Maybe later they’ll take a look in a used bookstore. Who can say what will happen, until it indeed happens?

A Sunbust X Stygian ship fic.

Twilight and Applejack are engaged! For two mares who care so much for family and friendship, though, their families are hardly integrated. As their wedding approaches, they set out to change that-- by gently coaxing their older brothers into an unlikely friendship.

This story was written for the 2021 Pride and Positivity Event! I promised a friend a while back that I'd do some more mlm content, since this site is a little short on it, so here it is ;) In the spirit of the event, this story is all about warmth and love. Also in the spirit of this event, please considering donating to the following charities:

• Transgender Law Center
• Palestine Children's Relief Fund
• Sewa International (Indian charity collecting funds for COVID relief)

This fic was initially written as part of a Quills and Sofas pride speedwrite, where it placed second! The prompts were "G is for Gay" and "pining". Thanks to Atom Smash, Aurora Dawn, Bicyclette, themoontonite, Undome Tinwe, The Red Parade, Vis-a-Viscera, and wishcometrue for their feedback during the contest! Extra special double thanks to Red, who helped get this ready for publication with his excellent editing skills. U da man, man

Not quite sure when this will update next - I wanted to be sure to get it out before the event closed, so I haven't quite finished the next chapter yet. There's a projected four chapters total :)

Longdesc

Before becoming the Pillar of Strength, a young Rockhoof is separated from his lover, a unicorn hailing from the distant lands beyond Old Equestria. This is the story of their reunions throughout the years. Fated by circumstance to long for, but never regain, what they had lost in their youth.

Info

The first draft of the first section was an entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting G is for Gay contest.

Thanks to and Graymane Shadow and TCC56 for prereading the second draft.

Fire Streak, a retired member of the Wonderbolts, is searching for a unicorn to help him collect a poison joke flower for his Magical Flora and Fauna class. Sunburst, a big fan of his, volunteers to help. They head into the Everfree forest with plans to be back to Canterlot by Sunset, but things are never that easy, are they?

All Flim's trying to do is sell these cards, so why is this baker being such a pill by inviting him in for a drink?

Braeburn is getting old.

Not as old as he might behave, of course-- with all of his whining and wistfulness, you'd think he was nearing 80. For an athlete, of course, 50 may as well be 80.

His buckball days behind him, Braeburn has turned to coaching. It's only now that he's started to wonder what he may have missed out on during his many years in the rodeo and as a member of Appleloosa's buckball team. More than anything, he'd like to turn back the clock and spend his youth a little less occupied by work.

When he puts out an ad in the Equestrian Gazette, an anonymous stranger offers a rather literal solution to his problem.

It can't possibly be anything more than a clever joke... can it?

Written for Nailah's Shipping Contest! The pairing (Braeburn x Hondo Flanks) was randomly generated. Hope you all enjoy!

Warning: The following one-shot contains themes of M/M, a daughter's confrontation, and a father that's trying to explain himself. If you don't like one of these, you know where the exit button is.

Trixie was upset. Her father, Jack Pot is going to marry his stage partner, Big Bucks. In all those visits that Trixie had made since she had moved out, she had never once heard anything about this. Not just that her dad was dating, but was going to marry a stallion. However, on top of all of that, she found out through a newspaper that he was getting married soon. So Trixie took it upon herself to go to Las Pegasus to get some answers.

This story was proofread by someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Pound is finally ready to make his first Hearts and Hooves Day card. He’s got everything he needs: craft supplies, a caring, supportive sister, and the love of his life.

What do you mean I only needed two of those?
