After the Storm King's army was disbanded Tempest decides to stay in Ponyville for a few weeks to prove she can be a valued citizen of Equestria.

She expects to be bored. She expects civilian life to be hard to adjust to.

She doesn't expect Rainbow Dash to approach her, asking for combat training. And she certainly doesn't expect to start to like the cocky Pegasus.

But opening your heart to friendship means opening it to some other things as well.

Cadance has always loved Twilight, from the very moment the younger pony had entered her life. Lately, however, that love has evolved and blossomed into something altogether more. Will Cadance have the strength to confess her feelings to the oblivious Twilight? With two meddling aunts, she may not have a choice in the matter.

Cadance/Twilight. Twidance. Whatever you want to call it.

Shining Armour and Cadance have never been more than best friends. Set mid season 4. The Changeling invasion and Crystal Empire arc both happened, just differently. May flesh those out in a future oneshot.

Luna really does like being snuggled! She loves her hoof being held, pecks on the cheek, and all sorts of physical affection - at least, that's what Celestia tells Twilight.
Despite this, she can't help but notice that Luna always wants to wriggle out of Twilight's hugs.
And for a young lovestruck princess, that simply will not do.

A certain orange filly is scared and alone, confused by new 'changes' to her appearance. She doesn't know who to talk to - her parents have gone on yet another trek to the far corners of Equestria, her friends would run screaming, and what would the princesses think?
Scootaloo knows she can't lie forever: after all, every secret has to come out at some point ...

Note: this story is told in short snapshots rather than long passages. Don't like it? Don't read it.

When you don't know where your roots are from, it's hard to believe what you don't want to hear.

Scootaloo grew up her entire life as an orphan. She never lived in an orphanage, however, and chose the life of an outcast. Little did she know, that her life was part of something big.

With the Royal Wedding coming up, Princess Cadance has been acting unusually strange towards the young orange pegasus. Not only her, but her three bridesmaids have been climbing over eachother just to get a glimpse of the filly. Why are they doing this? She has no idea.

This story is a sequel to Cursed Crusader

One long year has passed since Sweetie Belle contracted vampirism. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are out of school, and Twilight has been unable to find any cure for Sweetie's condition. As part of their promise to their bloodsucking friend, the Crusaders are set to find ways to live alongside her even as the years carry on. To start their quest they are headed to Canterlot, to seek Celestia and Luna's guidance and expertise on the subject. Of course, getting information from alicorns isn't always the easiest thing in the world...

After graduating filly school and saying goodbye to everyone else, the Cutie Mark Crusaders talk about what their futures will be like. Of course, they imagine their future being with each other.

But when time passes, the clubhouse is abandoned. The Cutie Mark Crusaders only meet about once every six months. As they make new friends, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom are happy. But what about Scootaloo? Her life seems to be hitting rock bottom. Scootaloo has had no luck meeting new friends. She feels alone now that Rainbow Dash is busier than ever as a Wonderbolt and preparing for her marriage amidst her engagement to Soarin Skies. So, Scootaloo only sees one solution: fix the broken friendship.

Update: This was changed to Teen for intensity. It also changed to adventure because I decided to add an original villain into the story. Thanks for understanding!

The Crusaders have been attempting to get their cutie marks for years at this point. But as they start their teenage years, Life starts to change for them. School is getting harder, the teachers are getting more strict, And they are starting to look at colts differently, or in Scootaloo's case, one certain Unicorn has caught her eye. Will she be able to overcome this Feeling? Will they be able to overcome this? Only time will tell.

Rainbow Dash is pregnant, but hasn't told any of her friends. As the months progress and it becomes more obvious, she can't keep it a secret forever...can she?

On a late-night flight around Ponyville, Rainbow Dash inadvertently stumbles across a friend in the middle of a crisis. Handling it with all the grace and poise she's known for, Rainbow immediately sticks her hoof in her mouth. Now she's promised to help Twilight Sparkle with her problem, no matter what. Rainbow Dash doesn't leave her friends hanging, after all. Even if the subject matter is outside her comfort zone.

Neither of them could have guessed the ways that one promise would change their lives for the better.

Set after seasons 2/before season 3. Rated teen just to be safe for some mentions of sex down the line.
