There's few better ways for Twilight Sparkle to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than propped up against the pillows on her bed, with her girlfriend resting on her body and reading her a story. Sure, she may have left her glasses out of reach, but that hardly matters when all her sensations are focused on Sunset's voice and body anyway.

Of course, Sunset might have an easier time reading if her partner would stop giving her little teases. But where's the fun in that?

When young Twilight Sparkle is afraid of the thunder and lightning one fierce night, there's only one pony who can comfort her and show her that there's nothing to be scared of. Her Big Brother Best Friend Forever.

(It's raining like crazy here and that's just how I like it so I became inspired and voila!~ I've been meaning to write a story w/ Shining and Twilight anyway because their relationship is so adorable. Hope you all like.)

Here's a totally amazing fanfic reading.

Silver Spoon thought everypony had become friends. They all like Diamond Tiara now, so why not her?

Living at the top of a secluded tower is a beautiful pink pony with an extremely long mane. She waits forlornly, her pet baby alligator by her side, for her mother to return...

This story is a sequel to My Special Somepony

Pinkie really wants to spend time with her new friend, Fluttershy. What better to do that than to go to her own home?

Together, the two get to have fun, get to know each other better, and allow their budding friendship to blossom.

Written for The Abyss's August Contest

For as long as Pinkie Pie has worked at Sugar Cube Corner, she's never ever taken one of the delicious treats that's made there every day without paying.

The thought of theft had crossed her mind a few times, but does she actually have what it takes to really steal something so frivolous as sweets?

Everypony knows the answer... It's a big, fat MAYBE.

Fundraisers at the Pet Center always came bundled with all kinds of emotions for Fluttershy. She knew all her little animal friends needed homes, but she couldn’t deny she was also quite sad to see them go.

Thankfully, Pinkie Pie was there to help.

It has been thirteen days since the fiasco with the swapping of Fluttershy's friends' destinies, thirteen days since it was all fixed and everything went back to normal, and thirteen days since Fluttershy felt anything other than being worthless.

Many thanks to Admiral Hoofsome, Jake R, Kitsunehero, Karrakaz, and Phaoray for all their help making this story what it is.
