One night, the Tree of Harmony disguises itself as an alicorn to appear in the basement of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.

A few days later, Sunset Shimmer and Princess Celestia heatedly discuss a night of passion only one of them knows anything about.

In the MLP:FiM episode "What Lies Beneath," the Tree of Harmony took the form of Twilight Sparkle, trapped the Student Six in caverns beneath the School of Friendship, and put its captives through weird ordeals to test them, threatening to hold them prisoner for longer (maybe forever?) if they failed.

In what world does that NOT make the Tree at least a part-time villain?

(This story might be an entry in a "Sunset x Former Relationships" contest.)

The trouble with Sunset's 'Flanksy' graffiti art is, vandalism doesn't belong to the artist.

So Twilight comes up with a scheme to sell things you don't own and don't have. It uses computers and the interneight!

There's a big difference between being an inspiration, and being everything and everyone you've ever hoped for.

That's a line Robin Whinnyams knows all too well.

Disclaimer:

Robin Whinnyams is not any real world human in show business, alive or dead. There really is a big difference between being an inspiration and being everything you've inspired.

Also, at least in our world, the movie "~Paint~ Patch Adams" was inspired by a real person.

Is this story really poly enough to have a chance in the Sunset Shimmer x Polyship Contest (January 5th 2023 to February 2nd)? I guess we'll see...

What if MLP G5 was "Fullmetal Alchemist" and also Shakespeare's "Hamlet?"

A specter with wings AND a horn instructs Zipp and Pipp to avenge their mother's death...with necromancy!

"And that's how I lost BOTH my BUCKING FRONT LEGS!" -- Zipp Storm

Ponykind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth. -- AU Pipp Petals (definitely not some human kid named Alphonse Elric)
