A simple magical illusion. That's all it was supposed to be. Just one magical illusion!

Unfortunately, it did not go as planned...and now two magical ponies, one changed changeling, and one chaotic draconequis are in pretty dire straits.

Can they fix what took place before anypony else finds out?

(Uh...nope. I don't think so.)

Chip Cutter is not a popular kid. He just wanders around, looking for new sculpting inspiration. However, when he finds an abandoned artwork on the wall, it quickly leads him to the road to friendship.

He just wishes it wasn’t the scenic route.

Many things happened when Pinkie Pie tried to convince her siblings to move to Ponyville. Rainbow Dash lost a hoof wrestle with Limestone, Twilight learned just how far one may shove a pony's head into a trombone and Marble got left behind as usual. This time, the shy earth pony didn't mind being forgotten as it meant they could spend more time with the first kindred spirit they have met in a long time.

Alone with kindest pony Marble had ever met, the earth pony found themselves drawn within those sparkling eyes and now must return to Ponyville in hopes that Fluttershy feels the same way.

Warning, though this story has no sexual content and is rated E, the sequel gets hot and heavy, you have been warned.

After what must have been the most epic of benders ever bent in the history of alcohol and metal combined, James finds himself waking up in a new world, crammed into an unfamiliar new body.

Left with little to no choice in the matter, he has to adapt to this new situation, all the while looking for a possible way back home. As if all of this wasn't already crazy enough, this world seemed to be inhabited by technicolor ponies which worshipped powerful beings called: Alicorns.

After finding out that he was indeed an alicorn himself, he decides to keep this fact a secret. Being crowned as a prince would surely invite more trouble than it was worth.

This story is inspired by Snorting Gentlemans story: Alicorn of Music: Reliving The Childhood. The idea behind the story always fascinated me, and, with Snorting Gentlemans permission, I've decided to write out my own twist at it.

This is just a side project for me, so updates will be irregular.

Sunset Shimmer had everything. Personal protégé of the Sun Princess herself, top marks in the School for Gifted Unicorns, and the honor of being dubbed the greatest arcanist since Starswirl the Bearded.

Until she threw it all away.

In the last moments before leaving Equestria forever, her destiny is snatched away right before her eyes. Once upon a time the story of the lives of herself, Twilight Sparkle, and the path of Equestrian History went one way, a story that we all know well. But in every stand of woods there is a path untrotted, one with a different story and new experiences.

New cover by DVixie. If someone knows how to contact them I'd be appreciative. It more accurately portrays the current evolution of the story.

Arc One, Filly Steps: Complete.
Arc Two, What Twilight Learned Today: In Progress.

Yona and Starlight Glimmer. The two greatest snorers in Ponyville history. The big question is though: who's the loudest? Well, thanks to the machinations of a meddlesome magician called Trixie, we're about to find out.

Earmuffs at the ready..

Featured 27/9/18 to 28/9/18.

After a life-altering event, Equestria will never be the same. Friendships tested...hearts broken...lives changed forever.

It's been a few years since Lord Tirek's defeat and Ponyville is still without a Public Library. If you were to ask Twilight, this is the worst thing to happen in the history of things happening. If you asked Mayor Mare, it's a clerical error, one that is being fixed, and certainly isn't worth getting upset about.

There is much disagreement on that point.

Enter Loose Leaf, Ponyville's new Librarian. He's heard much about this little hamlet town and the monumental events that have taken place there, and the quirks of some of its notable residents, which he hopes he can deal with.

With a lot having gone on in his personal life before coming to Ponyville, he just wants to do his job and maybe read a good book in his free time.

Hopefully.

Stable. Calm. Orderly.

That was what Starlight Glimmer had sought when she set up her community, a place where all ponies would be equal in everything they had or did. No fighting, no competition, no cutie marks: it would be the perfect symbol of Equality by which the rest of Equestria would rally behind.

But one stormy night, a mysterious mare arrives to question Starlight about her beliefs, doubting whether Equality is truly what Ponykind needs. Surely such notions are those of an older time, and Equality is a future that Starlight can defend.

... isn't it?

This story is a sequel to Harmonics

One year has passed since the ancient spirits Discord and Nocturne returned to the world. Life has returned to normal for Thistleroot and his new friends, or at least as normal as it ever gets in Equestria. After receiving a job offer from Princess Celestia to research new kinds of fauna, he, Scootaloo, and Mimic, return to Greenhaven Grotto, and the newly unsealed Libiris.

What should have been a simple research assignment turns into more than any of them bargained for: ancient spirits, forgotten species, and a war between immortals that once threatened the entire world.
