Twilight Sparkle: "Pinkie Pie, could you please stop trying to eat me?"

This story is pretty wholesome and suitable for everyone, despite the potentially contentious subject matter. Bon Appetit!

Feat 29-30 March. Pretty good.

When a mysterious pony on the street offers Lyra a small bag of blue crystals, she is immediately intrigued; Even more so when she finds out how much money selling them herself could make her.

A tired father gives his daughter the key to the city - I mean - he mistakenly gives his daughter the key to the royal armory. Somewhere in his sleepy mind, meant to teach her a lesson on what it truly means to become a guard. But without him there, life lessons can wait...Flurry has just hit the jackpot! She was now a zillionaire - her search for pirate treasure bore fruit! The lil' birdie could not hide this ginormous treasure horde in her tiny nest, but her dreams had come true, and her hopes had come to fruition. She was now the richest in all of Ponyland - the bandit now eyes a piece of metal, steel, crystal, bronze, gold, and silver that was recently shined seems increasingly inviting...Oooooh!

That polished set of Armor really seems to be Shining.

Written for the Shining is a Terrible Father Contest; though I had mercy on Shining so he's not that bad of a parent, just a bit silly and absentminded. Read more here!

Happy Late Valentine's Day and Happy Late St Patrick's Day!

Happy Easter! Jesus bless you! :)

In the midst of a nightmare, you're rescued by Luna, the one you hold most dear. In the moments of beloved stillness thereafter, a threshold is crossed that makes you forget you were ever having a nightmare in the first place.

Tagged T for mild violence in the beginning.

King Sombra has been brought back by Grogar and has set out on his own. But he stops for a moment, to contemplate his actions, and make a new plan.

Twilight Sparkle's state of mind has deteriorated ever since she got diagnosed with R.O.A.M. (Rapid Onset Alicorn Memory disorder), leaving her hapless in the care of her friends and family.

One week after Starlight Glimmer suffered a "relapse" during some long-overdue friendship lessons, Spike found her reflecting and lamenting in her bedroom. After some urging from the dragon, Starlight admitted she wasn't sure if the Mane 6 (save for Twilight) had truly accepted her as "one of them." But most of all, the reformed friend-in-training legitimately wondered if a pony with her past even deserved friends at all.

Naturally, Spike had some things to say about that.

Gallus and Ocellus are really different. It's what makes them so alike. In their insomnia patterns, speech patterns, unspoken-feelings-towards-one-of-their-closest-friends patterns.

No hard feelings, though. Actually. For real.

The intro to My Little Pony starts, but somepony's missing. And that pony is... Twilight Sparkle? Where could she possibly be?

Set in S2 (as you'll probably figure out if you read it).

Feat: March 31st. So, there's that.

Celestia counts down the centuries until her sister's return.

Thanks so much to Soaring for pre-reading this!
