Twilight was expecting to have a nice, relaxing morning bath. What she did not expect, was for Rainbow Dash to interrupt her by crashing through the window. Twilight, instead of yelling at Rainbow, invites her to take a bath together.

Twilight Sparkle is scared to death of snakes. So much, in fact, that she is afraid to even go anywhere near the Everfree Forest by herself. Sometimes, she won't even leave the library, and makes up other excuses to stay at home. After a total disaster is caused by her ophidiophobia, Fluttershy, the animal expert, takes it upon herself to break Twilight of her irrational fear and teach her that snakes are nothing to be afraid of. Unfortunately, the yellow pegasus has no idea what she has gotten herself into...

Mayor Mare was seen as the political matriarch of Ponyville. However, when the Foal Free Press uncovers an embezzlement scandal, Twilight Sparkle finds a line in the town charter that allows for recall elections. Election fever grips Ponyville as everypony tries to secure their fifteen minutes in the sun.

After months of arduous research, Twilight is finally ready to cast a very basic spell she has created.

And the whole town knows about it.

Cue hijinks.

What are the chances your favorite pony was secretly a changeling all along?

Yeah, probably about one in one.

Cadence is maturing fast, and it falls upon Celestia to have 'the talk' with her, the talk that all young alicorns must eventually hear.

The world is a strange and wonderful place, particularly if you are a child of Ponyville. Pound and Pumpkin Cake explore their tiny corner of Equestria.

When Wanderer D dies, he ends up looking at two incredibly large beings that will decide his fate.

What could that fate possibly be?!

If the fact that this is posted in a MLP:FIM story archive and it has ponies listed as characters doesn't give you a clue... wonder no more and just... read.

This story has been called a 'deconstruction of self-insert cliches'... I call it: 'I need therapy.'

Inspired loosely by the letters: JG and LT. If you get the reference you know your DL well enough.

There really is no excuse for forgetting something as important as a hoof-written law. But Celestia forgot. And now, a thousand years after she wrote it, a law comes into play mandating that Celestia take a two-month sabbatical from her duties as Princess of Equestria.

So what happens when she has to step down for a couple months and leave Luna by herself in the bloody gladiator ring that is Equestrian politics? What happens when Celestia has to disguise herself and mingle with the populace of Ponyville without them knowing?

The short answer to that would be "a string of hilarious chance encounters, sisterly banter, romantic mishaps, and a political coup that was decades in the making."

The long answer, of course, is this story.

One beautiful morning, Twilight Sparkle decides she wants a free salad. After a small amount of theft, assault, battery, and arson, she sits down to enjoy what is sure to be the best tasting salad ever.

...Or she would have, if it weren’t for the Equestrian Intelligence Service locking her up as a potential threat to national security. Now, Twilight must escape a maximum security holding facility hidden deep underneath Canterlot. And to do it, she’ll need a paperclip, a spymare catsuit, an escape plan, and an alliance with the dastardly Drakbog, King of Frogs.
