Apple Bloom has no memories of her parents. But that's okay, it's not like Applejack and Big McIntosh knew them that much either.
One day, though, Granny finds an old album, with all the photos of their parents. And Apple Bloom notices something.

Inspired by The Hand That Takes from TJ Pones. I got other ideas on the same theme as well, but this one was the first one that really interested me.

My name is Comet Tail, and I have died many times.

On a peaceful night, High Princess Twilight Sparkle discovers a thief in her quarters, and while dealing with him, discovers that he is actually in her employ. She insists that he has no place in her Kingdom, and the thief, Night Silk, disagrees. Now, with his job on the line, Night strives to prove that he is exactly who she needs to work the underworld.

After all, he's not just a thief.

He is a Master Thief.

Princess Cadance is tasked with babysitting her boyfriend's little sister, Twilight. She ended up enlisting the help of her roommate, Sunset Shimmer. What could possibly go wrong?

Sunset Shimmer has seen a lot in her life. But lately, life has quieted down substantially and there is little to rattle the earth that isn’t just the Yak delegation coming for tea.

It’s this time, I suppose, that the largest growth should occur.

Continuity: Homecoming

Snow falls across Equestria. Ponies rush to and fro, buying each other brightly wrapped gifts. Songs are sung, cookies are eaten, and festive clothing is worn. Every creature in Ponyville, birds, beasts, and ponies alike, takes part in the hustle and bustle of Hearth's Warming...all except one. Alone amongst the lively and energetic ponies around him, one little gator sits silently and asks himself the question that no one else seems to consider...

Why?
