Most of the time, Applejack is honest. A lot of times, she's a dependable pony.

Then, sometimes, she's full of militant squirrels piloting her in a war with the Chipmunk Confederacy over a sacred acorn.

Octavia has misgivings however, when informed that the boutique in question is in Ponyville, a backwater farming town.

Can the proprietor of Carousel Boutique prove to the Canterlot mare that she has what it takes?

And the story this was a sort-of prequel to.

The image is pretty self-explanatory. Pip and Featherweight head out on a field-trip to Canterlot one Hearth's Warming Eve. Along the way the colts learn that love truly is blind to age, race and gender, especially during the holidays.

Following Fluttershy in first person though all the confusing and scary feelings of first coming out as transgender, all of her friends react to her coming out in different ways. Frankly, she doesn't know which reaction is the worst to deal with and she knows it will take a miracle for her friends to understand her. Who will stay by her side, and who will refuse Fluttershy's new identity?

This is the story of Fluttershy as a transgender colt (in human terms, female to male). For those that don't know, transgender is used to describe someone who doesn't identify with the gender they were assigned at birth

My name is Lyra Heartstrings and I was accepted, with a full paid musical scholarship, into one of the most prestigious colleges in Equestria: Manehattan University. I am studying to major in classical music alongside my foalhood crush. Sounds great, right? Not really. The mare (yes, mare. I'm a fillyfooler.) is cold towards me, treating me as little more than a nuisance. Has since we were young. And she's straight. But I would do anything to be with her or just to have her like me. Not likely. Why must the universe torment me so?

Rainbow Dash is a well-known pegasus mare in Ponyville, but her parents know her as a colt, Sonic Dash. When they come to visit, she must confront both her parents and her friends with the truth of her identity. Will her parents accept her as their daughter instead of their son, and how will her friends handle the secret she has kept from them for so long? A story about family, gender identity, growing up with the wrong body, and, of course, friendship.

After a rough day, Octavia decides to blow off some steam...

Princess Luna had been locked away, sealed in the moon for the last thousand years. She has tried twice to cover the world in eternal darkness. Luna does not feel that she has received a punishment befitting of her actions, so under the guise of the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well she protects the citizens of Canterlot from harm as repentance for her evil deeds.

Fluttershy comes out to the rest of the bearers of the Elements as a trans mare. This story follows what happens next: with her, with the mare she's fallen in love with, with the Mane Six, and with respect to their friendship.

This was (and remains, for that matter) my first fic, and was an attempt to apply concepts of transgender identity to Equestria. I felt like a world as accepting of, well, everything as Equestria tends to be would be a fascinating place to explore identity. I hope it worked!

(I wrote this before reading Dash's Secret (by Hopefox), but if you enjoyed this story, I can't recommend Dash's Secret highly enough. It engages with some of the same issues, but is (IMHO) better written than mine. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1876/Dash%27s-Secret)

A note: "trans mare" refers to somepony assigned male at birth and raised as a colt who comes to identify as a mare later in life. I'm following human usage here.
