Being the pinnacle culinary achievement for rising bakers, the Annual Canterlot Bake-Off is one of the largest events of its kind. Ponies Equestria-wide come to show off their crafts, eager to prove the supremacy of their art. To many, it is the first step on the road to greatness.

For Cupcake, it is an unending thorn in her side. Every year she has entered, and every year she has lost to lesser chefs simply because they smile and display emotion.

But she'll keep fighting.

It's been a long week, and Twilight's feeling annoyed. Discord just won't stop bothering her: following her around, making snarky comments - just being Discord. Fluttershy thinks he might have ulterior motives, but Twilight's sure the lord of chaos is interested in nothing more than irritating his (least) favorite princess. He couldn't possibly like her... right?

Discolight fic written for the first ever twicord contest

Another follow-up to In Search of the Sun, coming after Diplomacy!

Discord, in a bit of a crisis over his recent decision to leave chaos behind him, attempts to live the Ponyville life while trying to find his place in a normal world.

You can probably guess how well that works out.

Twilight has discovered a new power though she is unaware of what type it is. Before she can truly being experimenting; another evil begins destroying Equestria. With all options exhausted Cadance, Celestia, Luna and Discord send Twilight to an alternate dimension that may have more resources to help them fight this new big bad.

Now Twilight must deal with a younger Celestia and Luna, attempt to control random bursts of her new power and deal with a curious Spirit of Chaos while also completing her research.

Set in Lopoddity's Pandora-verse, where Discord and Twilight had a daughter. Pandora wants to know if draconequuses have their own country. After Discord's attempt to correct her pronounciation is mistaken by Pandora for the name of the country, Discord tells her a bedtime story about the fate of the country Draconequui and all the draconequuses that ungrammatically lived within it. And dad-trolls the heck out of her in general. Written with permission.

(Image is actually from moments after Pandora's hatching, though I may replace it if Lopoddity publishes a Discord-and-Pandora image that seems more apropos.)

Anypony would have laughed if you'd told them that Discord was flirting with Twilight Sparkle a few weeks ago. She'd never give him a chance, right?
Well, once his spectacularly obvious advances on her commence, Equestria is shocked; she isn't out right rejecting him. In fact, she may even be interested.
The HORROR!

EDIT: Featured 10/22/14! Thank you so much! I didn't expect this to happen at all.

The wonderful people who edit and proofread my story ^^

Twilight Sparkle and Iron Will find themselves (and each other) on a balcony. And thanks to circumstances, it doesn't look like they'll be leaving anytime soon. This can only lead to shipping.

Cadance is going to be insufferable for weeks.

Now with a fantastic reading by the inestimable obabscribbler.

This story was written for a game of Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder. If you want to know what I mean by that, look here or here. And if you want to read more fics written for the game you can find them here (well, you'll be able to find them there eventually. There aren't any others there yet because this is the first one).

This story ships Star Student Twilight with Iron Will using the Stuck on a Balcony All Night ship.

And thanks to Not_A_Hat for help with this thing.

Twilight Sparkle is a brilliant student at Canterlot University, but is extremely antisocial and doesn't want to make friends. When Professer Celestia offers her an A in chemistry for the rest of the year just to tutor a chaotic student who's failing, it's an offer she can't refuse. What happens when she finds herself not only befriending her new pupil, but also falling in love with him?

Sometimes, with a bit of love, chaos can be organized.

AU, Twilcord/Discolight

Ever had one of those days where everything's just gone wrong, one problem after another?

Of course you have.

Ever had one of those days when you wake up to find you've accidentally switched places with your counterpart in a world where you and all your friends are stallions?

...No?

Maybe that's just Twilight, then.

But the Princess of Magic isn't going to let a little thing like being in the wrong universe ruin her day. She has a schedule - a checklist! - and it matches up with this Dusk Shine's perfectly. Apart from the names and the genders, everything seems to be a match, and Ponyville has seen much weirder things since she moved here.

Being stallions or mares shouldn't make her friends that different. What could possibly go wrong?

Almost everypony has a soul mate, one they are destined to live with and love for all their days. They give their body, heart, and soul to each other. Rarely do soul mates ever change, but occasionally there is the twist of fate that happens.

During their escape from the crystal caverns, a lose rock manages to almost impale Twilight before Cadence pushes her out of the way and takes the blow. Seeing her foal sitter dying, Twilight uses all her magic to save Princess Cadence with a very dangerous spell. It is not without a consequence as she, unknowingly, gives her own life energy to Cadence, tearing up the soul bond between her brother and her foal sitter. Instead, it makes a new one: one between the two of them.

With Shining Armor’s own bond broken, it attaches itself to the closest being it can: Queen Chrysalis.
