With Twilight now reigning over Equestria, her trusty Friendship Council at her side, the world should be settling into an era of peace and prosperity like nothing ever seen before. And yet, Dash is convinced that everything's gone wrong.

Applejack's always there for her.

The original version of this story took 4th place in the 124th Writeoff contest, "Rot."

With the new princess and her Friendship Council firmly in charge of Equestria, Filthy Rich decides that it's time for him to step aside and allow Diamond Tiara to take over Barnyard Bargains.

My entry in FanOfMostEverything's Imposing Sovereigns II contest with the theme of Abdication, this story didn't reach the Top Seven.

The kingdom is safe. The land is at peace. The story is over.

Now what?

An entry in the fourteenth Quills and Sofas speedwriting competition. Prompt: "A Worthy End."

Changelings can be named after insect body parts. Thorax. Chrysalis. Pharynx. So Leg is a changeling name. Sortof. Technically. She's not happy with it.

My entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Contest #14, "A Worthy End." Written in one hour and totally unedited.

Flurry Heart is not the Princess of Love, but maybe she should be. She's certainly never met anypony able to match her taste in relationships. So many ponies with the wrong partners... It's sad, really. And then they have the audacity to say her pairings are wrong.

The summer after graduating from Canterlot High five years ago, Sunset and her friends saved the world from a super villain who called himself Grogar. The repercussions of that event made it the last time they could all stand being in the same room as each other.

But now Canterlot City is holding a commemorative ceremony in honor of their victory, and Sunset's husband Time Turner has convinced her that they should go.

She really should've tried to come up with a better argument for staying home.

My entry in Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest: Endings, this story didn't make the Top 10.

For as long as Rarity's operated Carousel Boutique, Pinkie Pie has come popping in at random intervals for random reasons. And that's fine: she's Pinkie Pie, after all.

The original version of this story eked out a 1st place finish in the 111th Writeoff contest, "Through Fire," and the cover image is by pinkcupcake17.
