Growing up can be hard. But when your two mothers are both elements of harmony and you have twin cousins to play with? It can be downright crazy. Rainbow Dash and Applejack will have to keep up with their growing daughter if they're going to keep her out of trouble. Difficult? Maybe. But that's life with Applejoy!

Author's note: It is absolutely imperative that you read the first section of this story (the "Confessions and Considerations" series, to understand any of this story.

Twilight is invited to Canterlot to compete with some of the greatest magicians in the world for the Moonstone Cup, a prestigious award for the most powerful and skillful magicians, unicorn and otherwise. Can she win? What sort of competition will she face?

Ponyville, by all means, has never been a town without incident. Somewhere within it, something was always going wrong somehow. However, for so many different things to go wrong so close together...it means things are more wrong than usual. And Twilight has more to do with it than even she realizes...

Some things are best left forgotten. The truth is not always sweet.

But, do not think things will be completely dark and grim! There will be plenty of strange things, and Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie! Because Equestria is not Equestria without its share of strange things.

(joint effort between a friend and I)

Edward and Alphonse Elric are tossed into a world of chaos after they attempt to regain their bodies using a faulty Philosopher's Stone. Can the famous Alchemist and his brother make it back to Amestris? Or are they stuck in Equestria forever? Read to find out!

After surviving the dreaded Order 66, Jedi knight Joseph Malek has a near-death experience, in which he visits the most powerful being in existence. The strange being tells him of a future visit to its world before sending him back to his own existence. Twenty years later, while on a mission for the Rebellion, Malek accidentally stumbles upon a secret new world when his ship is damaged. The world’s Ruler, Princess Celestia, welcomes him and offers to aid in his ship's repairs. While there, Malek averts disaster when he stops a mutiny with the help of the planet’s inhabitants.

Now he must keep the world’s existence a secret when he travels back to his own dimension, which is rather hard when one if its people decides to sneak back with him.

Braeburn Apple has always been raised in a conservative household, as a member of the Apple family.
Throughout his life, he's been taught what's 'wrong' and what's 'right', who he was allowed to love, and who he wasn't. Above all, he was told what to be, and how to be it.
When he meets a certain blue Pegasus stallion buying pies at Sweet Apple Acres while he just so happens to be staying there, he discovers feelings he never knew he had.
Unfortunately, they happen to be the same ones he was always taught to suppress.
Can Soarin convince him that it's not wrong to be in love, and that, sometimes, in order to be happy, you need to break out of your comfort zone?
A story about discovering who you are, and being that person, no matter what others tell you to be.

WARNING: M/M, SoarinxBraeburn Coltcuddling! Touches up on some serious social issues in the real world, but with ponies, and at least 20% cooler.
