My name is Artemis, I was sworn in as Princess Celestia's personal guard quite some time ago. I've watched her for so many years and silently stood by her side during all the recent ups and downs of her reign. Now I'm going to tell her how I feel. I know it would never work, we're just too different. But sometimes, there are things in a stallion's life he just has to do, and things he has to get off his chest.

What happens tonight will be anypony's guess, but one thing is for certain... it will be a night to remember.

Part one of the "To Love" trilogy. > Part two can be found here<

Rarity had always been a pony with high aspirations to succeed. With the galaxy now open to her and her planet, being the best in Equestria just doesn't seem to stack up, compared to best in the galaxy. After a great deal of searching, she has found a shop off-world that is willing to sell her latest non-pony designs; the problem? She needs to find someone with a ship that can get them there.

Simon Ortell is your typical cargo hauler. Never staying in one place, always following the credits to his next job. With the current civil war kicking up in the Mandalorian Federation, he, like so many other freelancers, has been making quite a bit of credits off the conflict. Sick of getting shot at, he accepts what should be an easy job moving dresses, of all things. But after a call for help from an old "friend", things are about to get very complicated.

Join this unlikely pair as they run for their lives through the galactic underworld and find themselves the targets of hired guns, bounty hunters and assassins alike.

Set after the events of Of War and Friendship and during the events of On the Side.

A pony is called stubborn when they refuse to change their mind no matter the persuasion against them. A pony is called persistent in hindsight when their refusal turns out to be a wise decision. "Persistence" is nothing more than what they call stubbornness when it turns out to have been for the best all along.

Pinkie Pie and Applejack may or may not be persistent, but they are most definitely stubborn.

Tara Sparks is the new girl at Canton High School. And being a bookworm makes it hard for her to fit in with her fellow students. She eventually meets a small group of girls who, despite varying personalities and social backgrounds, bond together and face the various trials of high school together. She might even get some helpful advice from her favorite childhood toy. So join Tara and her new friends: Diane, Jacqueline, Rene, Rachel, and Felecia.

My first humanized fan fic.

This picture may not reflect how I describe the characters in the story. This was just my favorite image to use.

Twilight used to think she could handle stress pretty well. The smartypants incident however proved her wrong. So she decides that when her friends aren't there she needs somepony there to help her through the stress.

So what does our lavender librarian do?

She creates an artificial intelligence.

Spike wakes up on the side of an unfamiliar road, with only a confusing memory of the night before and a very unspecific note in his hand. Following the road, he finds himself in the town of Dragonsville, a rural town in the direct center of the country of Serpentia, land of love, tolerance, and harmony. Upon entering the town, he comes face-to-face with the most confusing group of dragons he's ever met: Pinkie Pie, the baker; Rainbow Dash, the stunt flyer; Applejack, the farmer; Rarity, the designer; Fluttershy, the animal enthusiast; Twilight Sparkle, the librarian; and Spike, the #1 assistant, who also happens to be a unicorn, a species most rare in this land.

And so begin the most incredible two weeks of Spike's life...

After the ending of "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", Gustave le Grand takes great notice in the one mare who did NOT take a bite of the cake and also gave her part to solving the mystery and always kept her attitude at calm when others lost it.

What does this proud baker exactly feel and how is this mare unlike any pony he has ever met? And who says you can't have your cake and eat it, too? Especially when eating it means the start of an unlikely but very much wonderful friendship...

Author's Note: Ever since that 'MMMystery' episode aired, I had HOPED people would bring in some Gustave le Grand stories into this site the way we've been given some good PinkiexJoe ones. I mean, he's the second GRIFFIN to appear on the show since Gilda! Glad to be one of the first to make one! ;)

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash awake to find themselves in a mysterious, compromising position. It's up to the brilliant mind of Twilight to deduce what series of events led them to this.

This story has sequels entitled Twilight Holmes: Sabotage After Sunset followed by Salting Snails.

Written for the Annual Twidash Contest.

Dramatic reading Part One and Part Two!

Applejack's got a secret she'd kept hidden for many years. Nopony would ever have guessed what she and Twilight were up to in the library late at night, once Spike had gone to sleep. That is, until a jealous Rainbow Dash decided it was her business to find out just what in the hay was going on.

This is a little experiment I thought up to see what the results would be if I took in any authors who were willing to write a chapter for this story. The result, well we'll see. If you would like to join in on this project, PM me and I'll add you to the queue of folks who want to write a chapter. my only limits on this are that you have to keep it rated T.

There is also a version of this written by me alone: Queen of Hope: Steampunk's Version
