With Maud settling down in Ponyville, Marble studying in the Crystal Empire, and her parents finally deciding to retire, Pinkie Pie wonders if Limestone is going to be okay running the Pie Family Farm all by herself. She's never done well on her own, and her cold demeanor probably isn't going to get her a boyfriend anytime soon.

Luckily, she knows an equally lonely human who is perfect for the job!

For Celestia, life had rarely been better than it was now. Her sister had been returned to her, Discord was freed and subsequently defeated in record time, much to her private amusement, and her niece and her coltfriend had ideas of marriage in the not too distant future.

An event that would no doubt be yet another historical day in the rapid series as of late.

Yet, history is made even earlier than expected as Princess Celestia finds a strange letter in her room one night. Someone claiming to be the prince of an unheard of species is asking for Equestria's help. Making the dire situation described in the letter even more urgent is the warning it held.

Celestia and her fellow princesses are eager to meet the strange colt who has revealed his own mother's invasion plan of their kingdom to them in a bid to gain trust. Of all the ponies to meet this strange colt, however, it's one Raven Inkwell who will find her life turned the most upside down.

And by the end, she wouldn't have had it any other way as she comes to know Prince Anonymous of the Changelings.

This is an RGRE story starring (what should be) everyone's favorite mare, Raven Inkwell and a friendly changeling prince as they work to navigate politics and establish peace between two kingdoms.

They say the beginning of a story could be the hardest part to get through. Which is understandable when you have so much to cover. Figuring out when to start when there’s so much that happened, can be a challenge. 

Determining when things went right.

And when they went really, really wrong…

I guess I should just start by introducing myself, shouldn’t I?

My name is North Star.

And this is the story of me trying to be the greatest hero in Equestria.

Rarity has a secret but is unsure if she should come out or not. She is a changeling. She had hoped to tell her friends after Cadence's wedding, but due to Chrysalis crashing the party she now fears what her friends will think of her once they know the truth.

Rated T in case of mild language

Equestria is hosting the International Rodeo Games with Appleloosa as the hosting city. Many species from all over the world travel to the small town, some even as far as Foenum. All of it for the chance to win money, ribbons, and fame. While Applejack originally joins for the benefit of the Apple Family, her priorities quickly change.

A handsome, human cowboy named Clyde is introduced to her by Braeburn. The two get along well, and Applejack quickly is smitten by the upstanding, honest man. She plans on winning his affections with the hopes of taking him back as her husband. There's just one problem...

A cow named Arizona, Champion of the Prairie and one of the saviors of the Foenum, takes a strong liking to the same cowboy. She hopes to make her Ma and Pa proud taking back not just fame and money, but a husband to boot!

The two quickly catch onto each other's plans and try to undermine each other. Things quicky spiral out of control, and with neither backing down. They agree to a solution; a one-on-one fight, with the winner taking the man. Only question remains: Who will win? The Mare or the Heifer? And does the man get a say at all?!

T for fighting, possible swearing, non-consensual romantic pushiness, and mentions of interspecies love and pregnancy. No rape or clop will be shown, a simple girl vs girl fight over a guy.

It has been six months since Princess Luna's return to Equestria, however everything is still so new to her. Equestria is not as it once was, and so much seem new and strange. From the words, to the customs, and even the way they conduct their ruling.

Luna felt lonely for a long time, that is until she discovered the joys of gaming. She even found a new friend, just one small problem, he is human, and not from their dimension. Well, it would not be a problem, not if Luna would not have used a certain spell to drag her newest friend through their online game and into Equestria.

Turns out dragging a human through a game and landing him in Equestria has some unforeseen consequences... Other than the fact he is a pony now...

This story is a sequel to A Noble Death

Known as the Angel of Las Pegasus to the ponies and the Demon to the changelings, Lieutenant Sierra-B312 Callsign ‘Noble Six’ has certainly made a name for herself.

From the streets of Canterlot to the tunnels of the Grand Hive of the Empress, Six brought the war between pony and changeling-kind to its conclusion. But now that peace reigns, what is a Spartan to do? Is she more than a living weapon? And what would happen to her should her newest family meet the same fate as her old one?

And with the recent return of the Crystal Empire after months of ever-growing restlessness, the answers she has been looking for may finally become clear.

But with every light, a shadow is cast, and one last question will become clear:

Is she afraid of what waits in the dark?

But sometimes the past has a bad habit of seeking you out.

One sunny day a purple princess comes seeking them out. She brings mementos of the past, but more importantly, memories Cozy Glow wished she'd never have to relive.

This story is a sequel to Gloria Celestia

A rumor here, a scandal there, and a peppering of negative publicity can easily provide all the ammunition necessary to take down some of the most powerful players of the Canterlot nobility. But when one party foul too far turns the entirety of the upper class against DJ Pon-3, Upper Crust leads an unrelenting blitz against her, and Vinyl Scratch's world begins to crumble all around her.

Unwilling to let an accident ruin the DJ's reputation on the callous whims of Canterlot's elite, Fancy Pants decides to make a risky investment into counter-culture and help Vinyl get back on her hooves. However, it's going to take more than the prestige of the Kingmaker of Canterlot to get this record spinning again, especially when real royal matters start spiraling out of control.
