Not long after becoming Equstria's new reigning monarch, Twilight receives a letter from Prince Blueblood. It's not a declaration of war from the land's rightful ruler to the unprincipled usurper who's claimed the throne, and he explains why.

My entry in the 2022 Crackship Contest, this story didn't make the top eleven.

When Sandbar receives an invitation to attend a Yakyakistan Hearth's Warming festival with Yona, he should logically be overjoyed at the opportunity! Right? Unfortunately, life is more complicated than that.

Sandbar is a transgender colt who loves all things feminine, and because of this, he suffered from frequent transphobia throughout his childhood in Boltamare. This left him with deep anxieties over new cultures, sparking a resurgence of intrusive thoughts that he has to fight to suppress.

Can he overcome his fears and truly be himself at one of the biggest yak festivals in all of Equestria?

Rated T for mild references to bullying and transphobia. Reader discretion is advised. This story is dedicated to all the trans and non-binary pony fans out there. Trans rights are human rights!

Edit: Second ever story to make the feature box, yay! (11/10/2020)

Rarity has had some tough luck at love. Blueblood, Trenderhoof... Now that she's been set up on a blind date by Rainbow Dash, all she hopes for is that it won't end in utter embarrassment.

She didn't account for having already impacted their life in a major way.

Rated Teen for Horse Romance. Coverart by myself.

The thing is, sometimes in life there are things you have to do that are hard. Like, way hard. Harder than they should be. Harder than bucking storm clouds someone overfilled with lightning seeds. Harder than pulling off a sonic rainboom in front of a cloud of ponies who don’t believe you can do it. Harder than … other hard things. That are hard to do. Yeah.

Shut up.

Like you've ever tried to confess your feelings for a stupid apple-bucking farmpony.

Rainbow Dash narrates her own life. Because you just know she would do that.

This story follows Cupid Mark Crusaders, but it can also stand alone nicely.

Vinyl Scratch was the quiet kid at Canterlot High. She didn’t speak in class, walked too fast to keep up with in the halls, and generally tried to be as invisible as possible. So far as most people could tell, she had no friends and wanted none.

But even as a Junior, when the parties were thrown, her talents as a DJ were in demand. Nobody doubted that she’d be a pro someday.

Which also meant that, when she was at the turntables, she couldn’t get away so easily. And that gave Octavia the one and only chance she would ever have.

Sunburst has a secret.

He is deeply and utterly in love with Shining Armor and Princess Cadance.

Though, honestly it's probably best that this stays a secret. Shining is a stud and Princess Cadance the most beautiful mare in Equestria. They're way out of his league and happily married.

It's just a bunch of dumb day dreaming and childish fantasies. They couldn't possibly like him like that.

Right?

"I rather enjoyed this one, gar." - Cynewulf

"What is there to say, if you like cute fluffy shipping, then you’ll like this one, and should go read. If you don’t… what’s wrong with you?" - Hopeling's 27/05/2019 Review

"This story was immensely enjoyable, one of the best I've read in quite some time. All the characters were an absolute joy to read, and the chemistry between them was perfect. The only thing that could've made it better is if there was more of it " - Krickis

It was supposed to be simple. Coco would head to the Crystal Empire, design some new uniforms, collect a paycheck and head back home. But a few wrong turns in a confusing castle led her to a place she’d never even imagined. And after a few chance encounters with some very attractive mares, she’s not so sure she wants to leave.

Hey there, Braeburn. Sorry to hear about your troubles finding a colt to settle down with in Appleloosa, but I reckon I got just the thing! I know a unicorn named Hoofclid who ain't had much luck finding a special somepony either. He's about as far from a farmer as you can get, but he's cute as anything and I've got a hunch this could work if you give it a try. Why don'tcha come on over to Ponyville for a week so you can meet him?

Looking forward to it already! Love, Applejack

A fluffy illustrated romance story based on my comic blog, Hoofclid and Friends. Many thanks to Krickis and TallFry for proofreading and encouraging me to post this here.

Somewhere along the line, the press started to wonder about Derpy Doo and her new husband, 'John Smith'. So they sent an invitation for a sit-down and a chat...with ulterior motives in mind...

Big Macintosh has overworked himself and has to take a day off, much to his protest. Twilight Sparkle has to write a friendship report to Princess Celestia by tomorrow morning and she is stressing out over it. Can these two learn to not focus themselves almost exclusively to their work? Can the two learn it with the help of their friends, or by them helping each other?

*This takes place in a sort of alternate timeline (not an alternate universe) during season 2.*
**This is my first story, so advice and criticism of any kind is welcome.**
