On the run from the infamous Second Division, Rainbow flees deeper and deeper into Equestria's south, putting her faith in a newfound friend. Pursued by Rainbow's old lieutenant and haunted by Applejack's personal ghosts, the two head south in search of freedom and a better tomorrow.

Equestria's newest of the radio has made a new show popular. It stars the Element of Laughter Pinkie Pie, kirin Autumn Blaze, student Silverstream, Gabby Griffon and Pinkie's sister Marble Pie. Listens get to hear the latest from across the kingdoms, from music to trends and everything in-between. Who knows what they will talk about next.

These will be a series of short chapters to get me started ^^
Hopefully they will be short but sweet little moments of fun

Sometimes life's lessons are easiest to learn in our old classrooms, and with our old teachers. Standing on the cusp of her journey as an instructor at the School of Friendship, Scootaloo hopes that her very first teacher can offer her some insight.

Third place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting 'Colorful Characters #5' contest. The colorful character was Cheerilee, and the prompt was "patience".

This story is a sequel to Recollections of a Nightmare

Rarity is trapped in a nightmare she cannot escape. The rooms of Carousel Boutique stretch on forever, and something dark and slithering dogs her footsteps. Where is Sweetie Belle?

A sequel to Seer's Recollections of a Nightmare written for the Quills and Sofa's 'Expanding Universes' contest.

It was fairly simple as far as assignments for the Lord Ambassador of Equestria went. Just a border dispute over a patch of land nocreature really wanted. But then came the summons back to Canterlot, so urgent that it only had four words:

Spike,
Twilight needs you

Contains outdated G5 speculation based on the information available at the time.

The fruit of Sweet Apple Acres are grown with skill, experience, and love.

That last part makes them nutritious for changelings, a fact which Applejack is only now about to learn. But the changelings themselves have known for a long time – after all, they are some of her closest friends.

Applejack wakes up one day to find that everyone in Ponyville is floating. But she'll fix this. She has to.

Second place story in the Black Sunday contest hosted on Quills and Sofas.

This story is a sequel to Artwork and Answers

At an empty subway station, Rainbow finds comfort in the mare she's looked up to.

Twilight is on the cusp of leading Equestria for a year. It's been an easy year with no major difficulties. No wars. No natural disasters. No villains.

At least until a villain from the far, far future appears in Twilight's throne room. She's escaping defeat at Twilight's hooves, with one thought in mind: she won't be stopped if Twilight doesn't exist in the future. And here's Twilight's past self, right in front of her. Easy.

Unfortunately, she's not the only villain with this idea.

After you've tried to celebrate it enough times, a holiday might start to feel like nothing more than a group of traditions which all chose the same day to kick you. The bulk of Equestria may see the palace's annual gift-receiving ceremony as their chance to show how much they love their Solar princess, but Celestia mostly perceives it as something she has to get through without dying or actively longing for death. She's usually 50% successful, and most ceremonies end with her convinced it was the wrong half.

But maybe this year will be different.

One of them has to be.
