Twilight could not have been more ecstatic to have a magic student of her own. Not only was Entropy kind, but he completely understood and even shared her love of learning. An entire month working alongside him was a dream come true. But when admiration turns into something else, she may be unprepared for the consequences.

Discord despises the thought of an entire month as a pony. No chaos magic, and he has to keep his true identity a secret. Stuck with the insufferable know it all Twilight Sparkle was a fate worse than death. Or was it? As time passes, the once tiresome mare had become almost pleasant to be around. Could he actually be falling for her?

The entire story takes place in my own universe and continues the summer after What Changes May Come ends. Elements from that story as well as my parallel fic An Honest Life are included here. There is no need to read either to enjoy this one, though I encourage you to check them out. Essentially the events are canon until the middle of season 4.

This is one story I never thought I would be able to write. I had been wanting to compose a Twicord fic, but had no idea how to get a good setup. The idea for this fic came from SageBrony07 who's also been instrumental in the idea for many of the chapters.

I can't say thank you enough to Nomad_Sigma as well. He's been such a big help with the last leg of the story, editing my ramblings along with being the best idea man a girl could ask for!

Prereading for certain chapters provided by Nomad_Sigma and SageBrony07. Proofreading by
Smaug the golden, TemplarBrony, The Forgotten Comrade, and viewers like you.

It takes an army, that's all I've got to say.

Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!

TV Tropes

All Princess Luna wanted was to wake up and enjoy her night, but after getting pranked one too many times by Philomena she is determined to get revenge. Can the palace withstand a prank war between these two?

Now on Equestria Daily

The bonds you form with others, sometimes you choose and want them. Sometimes you don't.
Bonds we were forced into, having no control over who we met or who we must interact with.
Bonds we've forged over time, putting in sweat, blood, and tears.
Bonds we've had all our life, ones that have influenced our decisions drastically.
Bonds we don't know about, and therefore don't act upon, until destiny rears its head.
The bonds you form with others can give you the power to do great things. They can protect you and the ones you care about. They can be the things that pull you from the darkness.
They can also endanger you. Used and manipulated to fit others' desires.

It's been almost a year since the Elements of Harmony saved Equestria from Tirek. Their fame spread as tales of their heroism reached the farthest corners of the land. Stories of Nightmare Moon's fury. Discord's revival, reformation, treachery, and repent. Sombra's tyranny. And Tirek's hunger for power.

The six bearers have been through much since then. But when evil once again threatens the land. They find themselves without their elements, and very limited knowledge of their rainbow powers. This time they'll need more than simply the Magic of Friendship to stop it. But who exactly can step up to the plate?

Celestia has discovered ancient texts that tell of a second set of Elements. Elements with the power necessary to protect Equestria. At least, she hopes so.

(I don't own the current image. If owner requests for removal, it will be done. Image comes from Axquirix and the emblems themselves come from here Emkay-MLP both on Deviantart.)
(The fic now has a theme song that was discovered by a friend who writes stuff. Some of his stuff is NSFW but he labels really well. Pay your respects to Senpai Butt Stallion and the awesome theme)

As a young Flim and Flam travel the countryside, they must make ends meet however they can. A particularly good opportunity knocks when they stumble across a family reunion in the middle of an apple orchard.

Written for the Everfree Northwest 2014 Contest.

When Applejack comes of age for her courting to begin, she's far from excited. She doesn't need any special somepony in her life. But, when two colts show up, both wanting her hoof, she decides to put them through a few tests to see who would be best suited for her. Will she find that special somepony? Or, is a certain unicorn just in it for the wrong reasons?

Twilight is given the ultimate task, which may be harder than she thought. Princess Celestia has sent her an unconscious Changeling that was found in the outskirts of Equestria after the Chrysalis attack on Canterlot. Her main test is to try and learn about the Changeling as much as possible. However, things start to get a little bit complicated as she learns more about them, and might even form a bond between the two.

Space Princess Luna returns to New Canterlot to charm her love and root out a dangerous spy known only as The Broker. A tale of space, spears, and thrilling intrigue!

This is a planetary romance and a love-letter to the works of Jack Vance, Robert E Howard, and Ray Bradbury. Expect high camp, purple prose, and space duels.

Thank you, Knight N Gale for the new title! (previously Wacky Weekend)

Celestia feels as though she has been in a rut. Thinking of a way to spice up her weekend off, Discord comes in with a proposition. Just to make things interesting, Luna also came along for the ride, despite not being given any notice.
They will spend the weekend as Rarity and her little sister Sweetie Belle, and vice versa.
Problem is, Celestia has the weekend off, but Rarity does not. What is she supposed to do now?
How will Luna deal with being a filly? How will Rarity and Sweetie act as royalty?
Will Discord have enough popcorn to last him through the show?
Let's hope everything turns out okay.
