What if…  Sunset Shimmer had not just wound up at Canterlot High when she passed through the mirror, but instead had found herself in a world of supervillains and heroes, where costumed characters fought it out in the skies of New York and one young woman with no powers in this world did not have a chance to rise to her destiny.  So she decided to fix that problem, only to find her problems had just begun.

Meet Summer Lewis, a young supervillain created by The Consortium and later freed of their control by the Guardians.  Since then, she has passed in and out of the justice system, most recently released on probation only to find keeping on the right side of the law is far more difficult than it seems.

Much like where she came from originally.

Princess Cadance has a problem only Agent Sweetie Drops can solve. But Agent Sweetie Drops—now known to almost everypony as Bon-Bon—would rather tear her own legs off than work for a princess again.

This was originally going to be my entry in the 2024 May Pairings Contest, but I didn't get it finished in time.

Fluorescence's mom helps run the pony side of the portal between Equestria and Earth. Taylor's mom does a similar job on the human side. So Fluor has known Taylor for, like, ever, and they share a fascination with the portal and how it works. This fascination only occasionally leads to interdimensional disasters.

A magical universe and a science-based universe may sit uneasily side by side, but friendship knows no boundaries.

This is an entry in the Science Fiction Contest III.

Flurry Heart attempts to court Cozy Glow. Luster Dawn nearly dies as a result.

This story is a sequel to To Bring Light to Eternal Darkness

Feature boxed on Feb 28, 2024.

Blue Moon is a deep blue orphan earth pony foal with a crescent moon cutie mark in a splotch of blank paint. Her talent for moving the moon interferes with day and night—favoring the night, of course. Ponies in power have begun to notice. Her life working as a ward of a workhouse/orphanage is about to change. When it means meeting a scary white fire unicorn, she worries it's not for the better.

The story takes place during the Princesses Platinum area, months after the original story. It is decades before the battle between the sisters, and years before the founding of Equestria. It is marked [Teen] because of an orphanage out of Oliver Twist. I am publishing as three chapters. They will all be published within this week.

Whilst this story is a continuation of To Bring Light to Eternal Darkness, it can be read standalone. It was supposed to be the first chapter in a sequel to the original story, but that didn't happen. It's been modified to be a short novelette. It may seem like it ends on a cliffhanger, but think of it as sparking your imagination to think about a much more interesting history for the royal sisters and Equestria.

If the story gets sufficient likes and comments, I'll consider extending it.

The Spirits of Hearth's Warming Past, Presents, and Yet to Come catch up with Sludge in order to show him the true reason for the season. Sludge has no idea what they're talking about.

This story was the one and only entry in the 274th Writeoff Association contest. No one even entered a prompt, so it ended up being "TBD" by default. And since I found myself with some free time during the 24-hour writing period Christmas Eve Eve, I threw together the original version of this story. It's been greatly expanded for its appearance here.

The strange and delightful romance of Rarity and Spike, as told in the style of a Wes Anderson film. A pretentious love story with lots of shots of ponies staring out windows in the rain.

Written for LtMajorDude for Jinglemas 2023

Given prompt: Spike and Rarity. SPARITY! Spike has to be aged. A massage has to be present. Any race is allowed (original pony/dragon or human or anthro).

Somepony in a Mare-Do-Well suit has taken to visiting Rarity's bedroom at night. Rarity loves every moment of it, but despite her paramour asking her not to investigate, she just can't help wondering...

I started this story with the intention of entering it in the 263rd Writeoff, "Go Steady in the Dark," back in August of 2023, but that was not to be.

This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Kingdom

Twilight confides in Rarity after both wake up from different nightmares.

Short ficlet set in The Enchanted Library-verse. Having read all the way up to The Enchanted Kingdom is necessary for context and impact, so I wouldn't recommend reading this if you haven't finished that (or don't want spoilers for TEL).

Snails has a secret: a secret power only he can wield, a secret batch of knowledge only he can grasp, a whole secret world over which he rules as an absolute monarch.

Secret except, y'know, it's right there on his flanks. And I'm getting pretty sick and tired of it making that bean-brain act like a complete and total jackass!

No offense to any donkeys reading this...

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Snails/Knowledge (Or Lack Thereof), this story received an Honorable Mention!
