Graduation is coming up, and Apple Bloom couldn't be happier.

Well, she could, if Diamond Tiara wasn't such a pain in the flank.

A diary is a place for you to store your inner thoughts without fear of being mocked or scorned. It can be very important, especially in one's formative years.

This is Diamond Tiara's diary, showing her inner thoughts over what would turn out to be the most important year of her life.

My entrant into Princess Amore Dudette's DiamondBloom Shipping Contest (in which it placed 3rd)

Diamond Tiara has always looked up to Sunset, from when she was the Alpha bitch, all the way to when she was reformed, and even during and after the battle of the bands. Diamond has had feelings for Sunset for the longest of time, but has never felt like she could tell her. However with Anon-A-Miss on the rise, and Sunset abandoned by those who called her family can Diamond find the courage to confess her feelings and show her that she's still loved?

Sex tag is only there for innuendos and jokes, nothing happens. Also for this the ages of Sunset is 18 while Diamond Tiara is 15, same with Silver Spoon, the CMC, etc. Thank goodness for the Romeo/Juliet laws.

Just wanted to put that out there to save some time and to avoid having to go to the eggnog too quickly lols

"Oh...? Hello there. Yes, I can see you dearies, sitting or lying comfortably in front of your little electronic devices, reading the accounts of the infinite universes that make up our little corner of Creation. No, don't get all alarmed, I can't directly reach your little universe so you are perfectly safe from me..."

Said the pale magenta filly looking straight forward, her blue eyes focusing on the invisible (at least for the rest of us) figures before her, pausing a moment before resuming talking...

"Why are you so surprised...? You know me already, Diamond Tiara, the daughter of Filthy Rich and Spoiled Milk, reformed bully of Ponyville School and best friend of Silver Spoon, you all have seen bits and pieces of my life for years now, going from the meanest filly to ever live to the forgettable background Pony of season 8, have read the tales of several different versions of myself on this website..."

"But how do you know this...? You might be wondering, well it's simple: I am not the Diamond Tiara of what you might know as the TV show, I am but a different version of that one... In my Ponyville something fell from the sky, transformed into an Alicorn and lived in the town, rarely interfering with our lives, so I got redeemed like in your precious TV show, only to get lost in another universe days after my redemption. Want to know how it happened? Well read this totally legit recap and find out how did I fell into the world of the Darkstalkers and became... the Diamond of Darkness...."

Two minor villains, two heinous crimes, one cramped cell, and one very nerdy pony out to prove she can work friendship's magic too.
But will Spoiled Rich and Lightning Dust actually learn the value of friendship? Whatever happens, Moondancer's sure it will make an excellent case study and that she can deal with the ethics board.

Takes place sometime after The Washouts.

Warning: While not directly shown, rape will be a major theme.

It's late at night, and Trixie is busy enjoying her dinner. While being right in the middle of her meal, she is also expressing her love for herself through the use of a mirror. Little does she know, Twilight's watching from the bushes, and Trixie has foolishly left her window hanging wide open.

[Displaced] My Name was once Jack now it's Toshiro Hitsugaya.

I was attending an anime convention with my friends when I bought a replica of Captain Hitsugaya's sword, Hyourinmaru, from a shady merchant, and was transported to Equestria before the show began and made it my duty to protect the mane six from danger without them noticing me

I was just a normal deadbeat. I had trouble keeping a job, even through I didn't have many personal issues that would caused me such troubles, and I didn't have many friends. So, in short, there's really nothing special about me.

But that all changed when the security firm I worked for was hired for an extra muscle at a Con. I don't clearly remembered what happened next, but I awoke to find myself in a world not my own, with a body not my own, but luck was with me, as a party was going on. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to join in as the party was rudely crushed by some uninvited guests.

Now it was up to me to save the day, learn why I'm here and why I have these new powers and body. But on the bright side, I may finally get a family I so long desired.

For years, Pinkie Pie has helped the Cakes raise money for a charity that benefits orphaned foals; and this year, Pinkie is running a kissing booth! Rarity joins her old friend to help run it, but her notoriously fragile self-perception is grievously injured in the process when nopony seems to want to kiss her.

Why in Equestria won't anypony kiss Rarity!? Something is going on...

Sparity shipping story with gratuitous Raripie friendshipping on the side.
