All mares have needs. Even if they’re totally uncool and undeniably lame. Rainbow Dash is the one exception to the rule. After a month away from her marefriend, she wasn’t even the tiniest bit lonely. And she definitely didn’t need - or want - a hug. Hugs were lame, and she was Rainbow Danger Dash. Hugging would only slow her down.

Ever since he and Twilight Sparkle had first moved to Ponyville, Spike's had a crush on Rarity. At first he'd thought it was a secret - the big secret in his life - but he'd soon come to realize that the signs he had been displaying since day one were...really, really obvious. His first reaction had been mortification, followed by anger (after all, how could his friends have just let him act like that?!), but eventually he'd come to the conclusion that, sometimes, a friend within a circle just happens to develop a crush upon another friend, and that it's really no big deal.

But then something starts to nag at him: If Rarity's known about his feelings for some undetermined amount of time, how come she's spent all this time without even acknowledging that she does know? So, he decides to ask if he can come over for tea, with the intention of discussing these thoughts and feelings with her.

NOTE: Sex tag is for brief mentions of it during their conversation. There's no explicit talk, and it's not a recurring point of discussion.

Twilight Sparkle has hidden the hottest pepper she could find in Princess Celestia's cake.

This is a bad idea.

The Unity Day party at Sweet Apple Acres goes awry after surprising accusations are leveled at Applejack, on account of some difficult-to-discern lyrics.

Find Iron Wolf's dramatic reading of this story, in a super cool Polish accent that kicks the whole thing up to 11, here.

Jachs, a Generalmajor in the changeling army, and more recently Governor of Canterlot, thought everything was going well. Chrysalis had just crowned herself Empress of Equestria, and him along with his friends, Alcippe, Marsillio and Finicus had finally discovered their destinies in life. After a lifetime of war and conflict, he was finally finding a moment of peace.
Then the city and Protectorate of Manehattan fell to the Equestrian Liberation Front, and the ponies rose back up to defeat the changeling oppressors and restore Equestria.
Now, as the partisan forces move towards Canterlot itself, Jachs has come to a conclusion. The Changeling Hegemony is finished. The Heer stands no chance against the ponies fighting to reclaim their homeland.
So instead, he meets with his friends to pay a mare in the caves a visit.

Set in the world of the popular Hearts of Iron IV mod Equestria at War.

'What d'you mean, 'roses are red'?' Twilight’s two closest confidants, Starlight and Spike, help her realise that there are some things she can never comprehend, some things she will never see, and some things she must learn to live with - but her reaction is not what they expect.
