One lonely night, Starlight decides to release Cozy Glow from her stony prison, and plans to let out some of her frustrations on the vile filly until she discovers that Cozy Glow can't seem to remember who she is anymore, or much of anything else from her past.

Could this be yet another trick conjured up by this scheming pegasus? Can she really be trusted?

Probably the best thing to happen in Discord's long life was finding the magic of friendship. As much as the old Chaos Lord might complain, without it he would never have found so many that were dear to his heart.

When that heart finds itself empty, he comes to the Princess to ask a favor: allow him the opportunity to bring friendship to other dark hearts. All she has to do is lend him a statue.

The rest is in his chaotic claws.

This story is a sequel to Anon-A-Miss: Friendship is Home

Scootaloo was in hell for months before Anon-A-Miss was born. Her father Speedy Bullet went to war against Discord's Armed Forces. Scootaloo only had her mother Ember Light. She couldn't do much for her beloved child. Then there was Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo enjoyed Rainbow's company but soon fell apart when Sunset Shimmer came and took her all away. Then Anon-A-Miss came and seemed promising enough to get Rainbow Dash back. Soon she realized that her Anon-A-Miss wasn't the right move even tho she went forth to stretch the truth about Sunset Shimmer. Anon-A-Miss got out of control and chaos spread in the school like a wildfire. After Anon-A-Miss was caught and deactivated, some students decided to punish Scootaloo themselves. They went too by burning down her house along with killing her mother Ember Light. Scootaloo became an orphan. After the ones that were caught killing Ember Light, Scootaloo saw that her friends Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom smiling and happy that Diamond Tiara, their tormentor caught in the act of murder. She knew right then and there that they were not her friends so she dropped them in pain. After all, that seems lost, a new family adopted her.

To escape from Tartarus is nearly impossible, even for one of great magical power. When you've lost your powers and are little more than a withered old centaur, it's even harder. But Tirek has a plan, one that will draw in a creature from a world where life is cheap, hats are plentiful, and gravel is king. Will the Spy take the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned vacation in this new world, or will he see the population of friendly, innocent ponies as just a fresh selection of backs to stab? It could be both!

(Takes place before the beginning of Season 9.)

First impressions are important. A bad one can ruin one's credibility for a long time. John Wildman - the second human to ever arrive in Equestria - is learning that the hard way.

After almost hunting down Applejack, he is trying to adjust to his new home - struggling not only against his own demons and doubts but also against prejudice and hatred.

Ashamed by the bigotry she is witnessing, Celestia is starting to wonder if her subjects are really as forgiving and kind, as she thought. Together with the help of edgy human super-soldier James "Bastard Man" Gastovski and Twilight, she is determined to figure this out and help John before it's too late.

Meanwhile, CMCs and Cheerilee are trying to figure out, why Scootaloo became reckless and vile all of a sudden - forcing new human, to be a participant of their investigation - whether he likes it, or not.

Can an outcast like John make some friends and maybe... save someone in the process?

This story can be considered somewhat of a sequel to both:

and

with James, as a recurring character, alongside the new guy. However, reading the above stories is NOT necessary.

- Removed 'Comedy' tag - it was suggested by a lot of people that this story has become too dark, and tag should be removed. Sadly, I had to agree.

Diamond Tiara's joy at her newfound outlook and friends is shortlived. Exiled to her bedroom while her uncompromising mother decides what to do with her, she can only listen in as Spoiled Rich tells her too-meek-by-half husband Filthy EXACTLY how useless his daughter is. Then, there's a sudden knock on the door... and Tiara's adventure is about to begin.
Set after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark'.
Now rated T for some disturbing scenes
Beware of SPOILERS in the comments.
Great new cover drawn, completely at their own behest, by the very talented robsa990. What a nice chap he is.
